7 of us stayed for my birthday weekend! Such a beautiful spot on the lake! Plenty of room for all of us. Spacious for a bigger party . Lots of wild life to see just from the yard! Would come back!

The Rookery was the perfect getaway for a birthday/mother's day weekend. It comfortably slept 6 adults although 2 of the 4 beds upstairs (the upper bunk beds) were pretty small - better suited for children. We thoroughly enjoyed our time paddling on the lake, soaking in the hot tub, playing games next to the fire on the deck, and cooking in the kitchen. The house had everything we wanted. Even a fun ping pong table for our teen boys. The lake itself is quiet and super safe for paddleboards, with ridiculous views of Mt. Rainier. Such a fun time away. Can't wait to stay here again.
