Great experience at a nice lake house
We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. The house was built in the late 1950s and has a super neat vintage feel to it. It is uniquely decorated both inside and outside. We loved the unique view of the lake and enjoyed having coffee in the morning watching wildlife including a bald eagle fly over the lake. John is a fantastic host and offers a lot of great tips to help make the stay in Seattle better. The other thing we really loved is the quiet solitude of the house. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping in after the hikes we did each day. The house is nicely located about 30 min from downtown Seattle but also about 40 min from some great hikes and waterfalls (Twin Falls, Rattlesnake Ledge and more). We will definitely come to rent this house again!

Serenity and verdure are what you will encounter at Lake Desire.
Our second weeklong stay put us under the spell of this special place. John is a great host and the house is very comfortable. The trail to the top of Echo Peak is steep, but on a clear day you have a great view of Mt.Rainier. Looking forward returning next year.
