We held a retreat here for 20 and it was lovely. Great meeting spaces in and out. Serene, lovely not far from Seattle. Would love it if there were more beds so more people could stay instead of driving back to the city but would love to come back!

Beautiful location and wonderful home!

This property worked very well for our family vacation! We did bring child proof door handle covers to keep the kids from wandering down to the lake without us. We LOVED watching the eagles and swimming in the lake (and the water slide). The owner was very communicative and accommodating!

We were visiting the area for just two days. A longer trip is necessary to really enjoy the lovely home, beautiful setting and all the amenities provided, including sailboat, kayaks, game room, etc. We even woke up to deer strolling across the property. Holly was a great host, answered questions promptly and provided all the extras that make a vacation special.
