This home has everything you need to relax, kick back, watch a sunset, bbq on the deck, run around in the gorgeous yard, smell the roses and more. Quiet neighborhood, very close to the water, which has a great boardwalk you can go to at sunset or sunrise. We loved our stay and Autumn and Blythe were so accommodating with all our needs. And there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for folks to stay overnight comfortably. Highly recommend staying here if you need a get away.

10 of us had a lovely stay at this beautiful property. We had ages 1-70 and everyone had fun. This property is well located 45 min or less to Seattle Science Center, Pike Place Market and Point Defiance zoo. When at the house we spent most of the time outside. The yard was like a secret garden for the kids to play in. The porch was excellent for eating meals, having morning coffee and just visiting. We saw bunnies, baby bunnies, squirrels, and a plethora of birds. The communication with owner was much appreciated.
