Le lac est frais, clair et propre avec beaucoup de poissons pour la pêche sur votre propre plage privée. Deux pédalos partagés et 1 kayak avec gilets de sauvetage pour votre plaisir de randonnée sur le lac sont fournis gratuitement. La natation est également l'une des activités préférées tout en restant à la maison. La maison est à distance de marche d'un beau parc verdoyant et bien entretenu avec zone de baignade et grande aire de jeux pour les enfants.
Vous trouverez une chambre avec lit queen-size, une deuxième chambre avec 2 lits jumeaux de taille adulte. Salon avec 2 divans-lits configurables. Cuisine complète avec réfrigérateur de grande taille et moderne avec réfrigérateur à double porte et congélateur spacieux, cuisinière, four, casseroles, pantalons, ustensiles, assiettes, tasses et verre. Le salon, la cuisine, la salle à manger et la chambre ont tous une vue sur le lac. La salle de bain titrée est pourvue de serviettes et de shampoing, revitalisant et savon standard. Laveuse et sécheuse sont disponibles pour les clients séjournant plus d'une semaine. Sortez de votre salon sur une grande terrasse pour profiter de la brise fraîche et de la vue sur le lac. Il y a un foyer sur une plage privée pour une soirée feu de joie avec des amis, la famille ou des associés d'affaires - étant donné qu'il n'y a pas d'interdiction de feu. Les événements sont acceptables avec des suppléments minimaux supplémentaires.
Pour les voyageurs de loisirs, nous sommes au cœur de la ville avec des activités / attractions sans fin dans les villes ou à proximité; je. e. golf, ski, patinoire, activités nautiques, activités de montagne, activités en ville, parcs à thème, etc ... Ou vous pouvez simplement vous asseoir sur le pont en lisant des livres et profiter de la belle vue verte et de la brise fraîche que le lac offre.

Nous sommes à seulement 15 minutes au sud de l'aéroport de Sea-Tac et à seulement 20 minutes du centre-ville de Seattle ou du centre-ville de Tacoma - avec arrêt de bus à seulement une maison. Près de nombreuses attractions, et pourtant isolé pour se détendre et profiter de la vue et des activités sur le magnifique lac pendant quelques jours - en particulier avec le magnifique coucher de soleil.

House on the lake

It was very easy to communicate with Kathy, before, during and after stay. She met us at check-in, gave us a tour of the house and property. Invited us to eat as many pears, plums and apples as we wanted. There were kayaks and a paddle boat with safery gear for use. The lake is charming and so laid back. Would definitely return.

nice stay

small investments would make this property better. E.g., new pots/pans, new decent silverware, new decent mixing bowls, etc. Owners care about the property and are easy to interact with and are responsive. Just needs some small investments to make it less like a batchlor pad. Could also use quality twin bed mattress upgrades. Again, minor investments

Cabin-like feel on a lake

Nice house on lake. Clean, well provisioned, great views and right on lake with use of paddle boat, pontoon rower, and kayak. Not high-end, more cabin-like. Great for our purposes, close to where a relative lived. Twin bedroom spacious, queen bedroom small. A couple of reviews complained about all the instructions and posted cautions. This is probably why the property is well-maintained. We found the owner friendly and very responsive. Appropriately priced, a good value for the price. excellent for small family.

Great location if your going to the National Parks. No more than 3 hour drive to either 3. Seattle space needle, about 35 minutes. Calming and peaceful lake front property surrounded by flowers, plants, ducks, geese and other wildlife. Host provided great recommendations for food and 4th activities. Gave us some mangoes, chocolates. Plenty of utensils, plates, cups, pots and pans. A lot of towels, beds are soft. A lot of soaps and shampoos. Huge refrigerator, microwave, full electric stove. Great lake views as you eat in dining table. The not so good. Horrible wifi. Had to forget and reconnect over 30 times. Speeds slow 7Mbps at times.TV screen burnt out. Difficult to see. Little kitchen counter space. Empty cans a few feet from property grounds of lake, tiny shower. AC is in room with 2 beds. No other AC in house, fan in main bedroom. If you like to sleep cold, not the best. Numerous steps, stones loose on the pathway.

The house was very clean and the lake was beautiful however our stay did not exactly meet our expectations. The house itself is awkward and had a very strong smell of cleaning product or air freshener. Also it’s in the flight path of Seatac airport so there was a lot of noise from planes during the day. We found the communication to be a bit quirky there were quite a few rules and signs posted throughout the place (nothing unreasonable) which took away from the experience.

peaceful scenery, great hosts, well furnished

we travelled to the home in Aug. we are a couple with 3 teens. Kathy and Todd are great hosts-- friendly and accomodating. Todd even gave us a parking pass for downtown seattle. can"t beat the beautiful view. the kitchen was great for making meals. very nice garden. home is close to groceries. There was only 1 window for the whole downstairs and ventilation couldve been much better especially b/c it was summer. they had everything we needed in the bath down to the thick towels, and toiletries. we felt their rates were quite reasonable.everyone slept well as the beds were very comfortable. all the comforts of home. would come back next time.

Dear Emily and Family, We enjoyed you 5 good looking, clean, and fantastic Guests at our beautiful Lake home. Thank you for the feed back. Since hot weather, above 90 degrees is rare in Seattle, ventilation has not been a problem. We do have portable fans for the living room as requested. Bedroom has fan and bathroom has screened window. Thank you for the feedback. We will make it a practice to have the portable fan for Guests to use any and all times instead of requesting. Once again, thanks a million for being our awesome Guests.

Vacation, but close to everything!

You probably wouldn't think of Federal Way as a vacation destination, but with this rental, you will absolutely get the best of both worlds: the outdoor quiet serenity of a private lakeside "cabin" feeling, but with all the convenience of being centrally located in Western WA.We enjoyed all of the amenities this home offered: the kayaks, grill, firepit, and pedal boats. The yard is HUGE and the landscaped flowers are gorgeous and add to the blissful nature "getaway" vibe. It turned our weekend that was originally just a family obligation trip into an entire holiday vacation full of memories and photos!Regarding the inside, other reviews point out that the layout is odd: yes, this is definitely a renovated downstairs where a kitchen was added-on but we did not find it inconvenient to use at all. Everything was so clean it seemed brand new. Also it helped that the host is really clear this rental is for small groups; we had no issues with the layout with 2 adults and 2 kids. Beyond that it would probably be crowded, but you could rent the upstairs instead. We had great communication with the host the entire time! I had a lot of questions about activities at the lake, and Kathy was so quick to respond! There are a few quirks but everything is labeled well and clearly marked in the house. We did not think of anything we wanted that was not provided. I would definitely rent from this host again and hope to use this property for a future vacation.

Beware

Two days prior to check-in, received somewhat threatening and wholly unethical (if now unlawful) note from owner stating that if we allow anyone not previously listed as a guest into property, then we would be ejected without refund. This note, which fundamentally novates the original agreement, is an avoidable stench on the property. Otherwise, the property is passably clean minimally equipped.

A lovely holiday oasis with the best host EVER!

This property is a hidden gem in so many ways. It's location between Tacoma and Seattle is super convenient, as well as the shopping district and highways nearby. The lake is tranquil and beautiful, especially at night. Despite being on a fairly busy intersection and overhead flight path, it's amazingly quiet (the unit faces towards the lake so we didn't even notice the traffic much). I didn't see any neighbors in the week that we stayed (end of May), other than flocks of ducks and geese that live on the lake. We also saw bats at night and bald eagles during the day. With kayaks and paddle boats to use, it made staying on the lake fun for the whole family. We especially loved sitting around the campfire at night. We were snug but very comfortable in our group of eight staying in the lower level of this two-unit home. But the BEST part of all was the incredible attention and communication by the host, Kathy! She is so thoughtful, kind, and caring. We will definitely contact her again if/when we stay in the Seattle/Tacoma area again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Extremely disapointing

The lady was very nice, the roses were beautiful, but for wht we paid for, the rest of the grounds, the walkways down to the house and to the lake were deadly...the grounds were not kept up at all on the walkways and there were huge broken pieces of concrete to walk over and rusted steel rebars sticking up out of the ground. We were told to bring our own laundry detergent and to leave the key in the dryer when we left.....there was no washer and dryer so we ran out of clothes. We were given 4 towels for four days with four people. The stove was filthy and would not use and smelled horribly of fish. Then, the lake itsel, we went in one time because the seaweed was so thick, even in the middle of the lake, it totally grossed us out. We enjoyed the grandkids and still had fun playing games etc., but the rest sucked. Also had to share the small dock with a family of five from nextdoor, no room and very awkward. Never again would we rent from these people on this lake.

Réponse de VrboOwner le 18 mars 2020
Sorry, we did not meet your expectations. We have been in this business for many years, and throughout our years, the walkways and steps are even, safe, and include a secure handrail for additional safety. Our yard has been praised by past customers and reflected in some of our reviews. Some customers have related our yard and gardens to a mini Butchart Gardensd (Victoria, BC). So we don’t understand your comment of un-kept grounds. We couldn’t find the protruding rebar nor concrete blocks mentioned. In all our checkout instructions, we don’t include a location to place the key. We were unaware that you checked out until your husband called, so we couldn’t have given those checkout instructions. As for the lake, lots of people swim in lake throughout the summer, every year, including us. The lake may not be as clean as a normal swimming pool, however, there is nothing we can do about that. The dock is used to tie up two paddle boats and 1 kayak for use by both of our adjacent properties. Most Guests spend time sightseeing and the watercraft are rarely used. You booked 3 days with us, not four. Your husband told me that you had to leave due to a family need. Hence you stayed only 2 days with us. We provided 12 towels for the bathroom alone. 4 people for 3 days. Total towels provided for the unit was 17. We repeatedly mentioned during your stay that if you need anything, please let us know. We never heard any mention of needing additional towels. In fact after you left, there were still clean towels folded neatly in the bathroom. The stove surface is scratched due to our cleaning up from previous customer’s burnt food. The surface was definitely not dirty. The oven was clean and additionally protected with a Turkey baking pan at the bottom to catch grease. We require all Guests to keep the Turkey pan to provide a cleaner oven for our guests.

Great view & pleasant stay

I’d like to start off with how great the view was during our stay. It’s quite picturesque & peaceful looking out into the open lake each morning and evening. Our stay there was for the most part very comfortable, but definitely could use some improvements to make it better. There’s hand written signs everywhere stating what to do and what not to, we found it more tacky than helpful. The master bedroom bathroom had a lock on it, and was told that if we would like to use it, we’d have to pay more. We understand that the rental listing clearly says there’s only one restroom, the mere fact that there was a restroom there but had a lock across the door was an eye sore. The master bedroom door had tape on it, so you couldn’t lock it, there were times where I was in the room changing and felt a bit uncomfortable and inconvenient that I had to go into the restroom to change bc my door couldnt lock. When booking, please note that even though the capacity states that 8 people could fit, but if you put you only book for 4 people, any additional will get charged, this included visitations for any reason. Lastly, there’s a camera that’s watching you, there’s a sign that states this outside, but just the thought of that was a bit weird and uncomfortable. Other than all of that, stay was good.

For future Guests information, this Guest wanted to book for a lower cost property. the lower cost property is booked so we offer this higher end but newly listed for her to stay - since not many lodging available left. She got upgraded to this higher end at no additional cost (instead of $75 more per night) property that she is providing the review on. We sure will put more proper and professional looking signs. We don't want to have all capacity (2 bedrooms, 8 people) priced when some people don't need it. Most family wants only 1 bathroom and wants to pay for one. Others, if they need 2 will need to pay for two bathrooms. We price based on number of people. This Guest wants to have 8 people to stay but put on reservation of 4 so she would pay less. We operate our business with honesty and we expect our Guests to do the same. The tape on the lock - to prevent - people locking the door and lock themselves out of the room. It happened with other properties that we had. So we implement no locking bedroom. In hotels or other houses, no locking bedroom is possible for the same reason. Camera sign outside is to deter other people that should not be on the property - to protect Guests staying at the property.

10 days on Steel Lake

We have rented the property for 10 days in June and July 2016. This home has served as our home base for 10 days, as we explored the area around Seattle. This was probably the best solution for our family of four, which includes two kids in middle school. We would go on day trips to Seattle, Vancouver, Olympic National Park and Tacoma. After each day trip, we would take a day off and spend the entire day at the house. The kids loved paddle boating, swimming in the lake, watching the ducks and frogs, and playing in the grassy back yard. The adults loved having a breakfast or dinner outdoor on the patio with the lake view, and simply relaxing with a book. The hosts occupied the upper level of the house, and took great care to provide us with privacy. They were friendly, and helpful with suggestions for restaurants, things to do, and how to avoid the traffic. The property itself was comfortable for the four of us, with plenty of windows to look at the lake. We almost always ate on the patio, with meals prepared after shopping at Trader Joe's or H Market ( Korean- Japanese store), both of which are within 2 mile drive. The bedroom is small, the bathroom has low ceiling, not for 7 foot basketball players. For future improvements, we would kindly suggest three minor things, better wi-fi internet, smaller cooking pot in addition to the 2 big ones, and better quality TV set. Also, in addition to the 2 paddle boats, we would love a small kayak or stand-up paddle board in the future. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would like to come back.

Dear Robert and Marcy. Thank you for the constructive and friendly feedback. We will supply more smaller pots. We have thought and probably will provide kayak and/or stand-up paddle boat. We have not done that only because these items are more difficult to use and might not be safe for children. In addition, the probability of losing the oars is very high. We are doing everything we can to keep the cost down and be affordable for our Guests. Even faster internet and more channels (currently we have approx 500 channels) will increase cost for all Guests. We will definitely look into what we can do based on your recommendation. Thank you so much for being our wonderful Guests. We are looking forward to seeing you and the family again.

Sleepless in Seattle

Although the lake views was breathtaking, the home interior space was much smaller then we expected. This is a lower level rental and the ceiling was very thin as we could hear the person’s heavy footsteps walking around all day & night from the upstairs unit. It was annoying and very difficult to sleep at night. Due to this, we decided to spend our days/nights out of the rental which defeated the purpose of us choosing this rental. The washer/dryer is shared, the shower is extremely small, the toilet was strange/crooked, the refrigerator was in the living room, everything inside the home was outdated and the walk down to the rental was very uneven/unleveled concrete (steps) which made it difficult to bring luggage down/up from the car. I recently had surgery and it was very challenging for me to walk up/down. Risk/fall factor. Things were very outdated in the home and this property is definitely a fixer upper. The outdoor deck seems very poorly made and had broken structural pieces. The owner seemed nice and let us check in early, but she had so many unnecessary rules. I felt overwhelmed receiving her lengthy messages prior to checking in. Lastly, I did not appreciate someone shutting off the dryer cycle while my clothes were being dried. Im not sure if it was the upstairs tenant or the owner. We checked in and were hoping to get some laundry done as we got off a cruise, but laundry was left in the dryer so we waited patiently until the evening. Overpriced.

Avoid this property

After inital good communication with owner, we arrived very late to an abysmal property that was nothing like as advertised. Unsafe rock stairs to basement entrance. We informed thrbowner we would be arriving after dark and there was absolutely no appropriate loghting to find the key which was left in the bbq. Actually getting the door open in the dark was another obstacle. Once we were jnsode I immediately realized we couldnt stay. Thwre were no lights kn and we stumbled around looking for switches for light. More disappointing was that the unit was freezing and when we did have light the thermostate read 58. It was 11 p m and i had my young son with me. We were freezong trying to gwt the heat to turn on. After some back and forth the owner showed up and gave me a song and dance about the heat unit, the bottim line was, after 30min it was still 58deg. This doesnt even get to the part where the shower was a disgusting 3x3ft excuse for a shower, the "kitchen" was a fridge in the living area and essentially what looked like a temporary sink you would find in a camper. The owner refused to refund me in anyway. After an hour I ledt the unit for a hotel. If someone is willing to lose the cost of their stay and pay the cost for a hotel, then that tells you everything you need to know about this property. Avoid at all costs. I've happily stayed in many VRBOs for many years but never have experienced a situation as this. 9 out of 10 owners are excellent hosts, but not this one.

Fell short of our expectations

We rented this property for 10 days with full disclosure to the owner of our needs and intentions on June 1. We were visiting our family/grandchildren. The lake setting seemed to be a perfect location for entertaining them & and that our granddaughters might spend a night or 2. (You never know what teen/preteen girls will want). There was no opposition until 24 hours before our arrival when we received an email that stated she intended to charge more money if we had more overnight guests or even visitors to the property. This came as a shock. We had 2+ months to have this communication. She threatened eviction if we did not comply and pay in advance. We did pay an extra money against our best judgement to avoid conflict. This property is adequate for 4 people at best and would advise it be immediate family like parents with 2 children. This property can SLEEP 8 but there is no way 8 people can inhabit this space comfortably. The beds are comfortable. The hanging storage is limited in height. There is no hanging storage or bureau in the second bedroom. The kitchen lacks counter space. It is not set up to feed 8 people at the same table (table w 4 chairs provided indoors). The bathroom has a VERY small square shower with a low ceiling/inadequate for tall or large individuals. The sink, small with no counter space. There was construction on the property and on one occasion we returned home to find the workers and their family having lunch on our deck. In addition there was road construction during the entire stay with beeps from trucks backing up until 10:00 pm on one evening. The lake is good for kayaks and paddle boats not swimming. A muddy bottom that you sink down to your knees in when entering. The paddle boats have very poor steering. The path to the dock is tenuous at best, narrow and uneven as is the path leading to the entrance door. Not acceptable except to persons with good balance/ maneuverability issues The laundry room is a shared space with the rental unit upstairs. (Not stated in the listing). We had to contact the owner to give us access. This is a lower unit (probably a converted basement). There were guests above during our entire stay. One of the families had 2 small children with lots running and sounds of footsteps. The grounds are beautiful with blooming & fragrant flowers. It is not easy for me to give a bad review but these critiques are things we wished we were aware of before renting this property.

We are sorry that you felt this way. In our rules listed, it's stated that no more people than number on reservation, without pay. You booked and paid for 2 people. You had 6, and a few days with 8 and 10 people. We accommodate by a flat fee that is significantly less than what you should pay. More people, more consumption, more trash, more wear and tear, more cleaning, more toilet paper, more washing, more drying, more paper towels. All these costs money. We continue to improve our property to make it a better place for all our Guests. Outdoor construction in Seattle - clean up after concrete that was poured a month ago - 1 day only - can only happen in the summer. The contractor As for road construction, it was not our choice and similar to Seattle limitation due to weather. Sorry for the conveniences. The contractor was sitting at the edge of the step on the deck to have lunch and without my awareness. As soon as you inform me, I asked them to be in my dinning area instead. Our property features are disclosed fully as listed, and with pictures.
