About this property
Lakefront- fenced - no animal- allergies
Come to experience a luxurious stay on a beautiful lakefront home with own beach and dock. The lake is fresh, clear, and clean with lots of fish for fishing activity on your own private dock. Swimming is also one of the favorite activities while staying at the house. A 3-person paddle boat is provided free-of-charge for your enjoyment. The house is within walking distant to a beautiful, green, and well maintained park with swimming area and large playground for the children. You will find two bedrooms, a private bath with a spacious kitchen, complete with dining room and living room, both with the lake view. A private laundry room with large size washer and dryer. Living room is furnished with 2 configurable couches. Walk out your living room to a large deck to enjoy the fresh breeze and the view of the lake. Outdoor gas grill is provided for bbq and gather cooking. There is a fire pit on private beach for a bonfire evening with friends, family, or business associates. For leisure travelers, we are in the heart of the city with endless activities/attractions in or nearby cities; i.e. golf, skiing, ice skating, water activities, mountain activities, city activities, theme parks, etc... Or you could just sit in the deck or on the dock, reading books, and enjoy the green beautiful view and the fresh breeze that the lake provides. For business travelers, we are also very close to big corporations such as Weyerhaeuser, Boeing, Alaska Air, etc.. Come and stay as a warm and cozy home away from home while attending businesses.

Close to numerous attractions, or secluded enough to just relax and enjoy the view and activities on the awesome lake for a few days - especially the magnificent sunset.

Me and my family loved the place. Great views and very clean. We met the owner and she was really nice! We will definitely be booking here again, next time we come visit our family!
Beautiful location, peaceful and the host was wonderful. I plan to stay there again in the next month or so. Cute house and great lake views Kathy and Sarah
A lovely respite in the midst of where you want to be…
Spain, California and Arizona is where we 3 arrived from to visit our old stomping grounds. What a delightful stay we enjoyed on Steele Lake. This little hideaway is centrally located to all the beautiful people, places and things we had in mind. Wonderful Host as well. ⭐️ Beautiful views and grounds too🤩
The home was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is beautiful and feels private while still being near shopping and entertainment. We were here for a swim meet at the Weyerhaeuser Aquatic Center and the house was a nice short drive away.
We were so pleased how CLEAN the place was. The fragrance was a little too strong but we appreciated the cleanliness. The porch and dock could use some maintenance or replaced eventually but everything else was perfect
Nice little place on Steel Lake. House has everything you need. Nice little property located close to shops and restaurants. We had an early flight and the owner was kind enough to allow us an early check in.
We picked this property because of the peaceful pictures. We had a stressful weekend ahead and were looking for a little retreat. The views didn't disappoint and the owner was a delight to work with. The property had a few issues but overall worked well for our needs.
Our overall stay was great. The property was clean (except for the windows) and had everything we needed and is in a great location. The pictures are a bit deceiving, the outside of the property looks nothing like the pictures and could use quite a bit of updating. Kathy was very kind and responsive to all messages.
The house was very comfortable and worked perfect for our visit with the grandkids
It was very enjoyable
The paddle boat was not working and that was a little disappointing
Kathy was very easy to work with and nice as can be
I was thrilled to find a location close to my sister’s house. It was a perfect size for the two of us. Making meals didn’t require buying extra of anything because it was so well stocked with ingredients (mustard, olive oil etc.). The view of the lake was just as pictured.
This may be my home away for next year when I visit.
I’ve been fortunate and have done a lot of traveling in the past 20 years. This is an amazing hideaway with lots of parking and easy access to shopping. Plus it’s absolutely as beautiful as the picture I couldn’t be happier. My host was wonderful and checked up on us to make sure things were good. Thank you, Kathy! I hope to stay again soon.
The view was wonderful. Breakfast on the deck/time on the dock/use of paddleboat and kayak were great! The house was fully stocked w everything we needed. There is one portable AC unit which kept most of it cool, but was a bit hot in the bedrooms at night. Very helpful ghosts. cool
The owner (Kathy) was super responsive when we had any questions. Had almost ever thing we needed for supplies, kitchen, linens and bathroom. It was a great home base for our Seattle/Tacoma Vacation.
The only complaints I have is the lake on our side isn't swimmable (very weedy and muddy). However drive 5 minutes or use the provided pedal boat or kayak and get to a nice swim area with a giant playground.
The master bed was not very comfortable. The twin beds and the couches were better.
When you look for a place to unwind, clear your head and rejuvenate this is the exact place you need to be. The home can be used for both families and individual travellers with is perfect flexibility.
Kathy was super friendly and always communicating to ensure I was comfortable during the entire stay. She is such a warm soul and a joy to be around.
The place is clean and offers a lot of privacy for those seeking a getaway. There were also some outdoor activity options that one can indulge in.
I have definitely found a gem that I can call home for many more visits to come.
I would highly recommend it without doubt.
Loved our stay at Kathy’s home in Federal Way. It is in between Seattle and Tacoma perfectly and not far to the expressway and access to attractions in the surrounding area.
Kathy's home was a welcome retreat for us. Evenings on the deck watching the sunset on Steele Lake and being able to the paddle boat out on the lake was very enjoyable. The house was very, very convenient to all of the places we needed to be, and will definitely be back and recommend to our friends and family. Fruit trees and flowers all around the property enhanced the stay.
We stayed here for a baseball tournament in the area. The listing is accurate and for the price and being on a lake it is perfect. Communication was great and the house had all we needed for the week we were there. You are close to anything you’d need with a bit of tranquility from the lake.
Great little lake house. Quiet location we had fun with the paddle boat, kayaks, fire pit for s’more with a huge park, swimming area close by and friendly coots, ducks and geese came by to visit. The property had many fruit trees which provided sweet snacks. Owner was excellent with communication and very accommodating.
Our overall stay at Kathy’s property went well and had an amazingly time. From evening banter at the Patio while barbecuing to afternoons paddle boating at Steele lake, it was awesome. Nights were fabulously quiet. Kathy was ann awesome host and felt with our every need. Everything in the house was well kept. Will surely book again in the future when we get a chance to be back!
