Visit to see our daughter

The property is lovely. Being right on the lake is wonderful, we had bonfires and used the canoe, the lake is clean. It's in a quiet neighborhood with close by amenities. The unit, house is old, but we love that old charm and it was clean. Our onsite host Roshon was very nice and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back to visit our daughter and would stay there again!

Lakefront getaway

We needed a home base while visiting adult children in the PNW. The location is very accessible to highways. The beauty of this place is hard to describe. The lake and terraces leading away from this classic apartment building are stunning. Wonderful small touches made us feel welcomed. Nice shampoos and towels. A new sponge for doing dishes. A well equipped kitchen. And a comfy futon to lay down on in the evening to watch the playoffs. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Home for the holidays cozy yet cold!

One I lived in Washington my whole life I've never would have thought that Lakewood had that little honeycomb hideaway . I would love to visit again in the warmer season to have access to that beautiful lake I've recently moved to Texas and Texas has absolutely no water. I said all that to say you get the total ambiance of the Great Northwest at this property The people leave you alone it's a great spot for writing . Or finding solitude for self-care I enjoyed my stay! I would recommend this to anyone . Five stars hands down if you like peace and quiet

Pretty view

Very pretty view , cute place., would recommend. Convenient to grocery store. Instacart delivers there. Convenient to JBLM as well. I had 18 day stay. The only drawbacks. Laundry room locked and was unable to reach #instructed to call. Water pressure low in kitchen. No drawers to put clothes in , you can hang them up but bring some hangers. The lock you put code in is on the actual door and not the other coded locks on wall.

Check in confusion

Really confusing check in system - with 2 apparent locks, but only one lock being used. I was told someone would be there to check me in and she just wasn't available, despite many messages. So we just were mostly on our own. She did eventually come help us out a bit. Bottom line, be prepared to just kind of figure things out yourself. The listing promises cable and streaming. There was none of that. And not even the basic channels worked. I did point that out to the woman helping us and eventually she brought us a brand new Firestick that we had to set up. Other than that - it was a lovely stay. Really. The water is very accessible and there were plenty of water toys. Very easy access to the Lakewood mall. Lovely.

Cute place

We needed a place to stay while visiting family in the area and hotels were way too expensive. This served its purpose well but a few things could be improved. The place had an odd smell to it; perhaps because it’s old and it may sit empty for long periods of time. The entrance is around back and up outside stairs- this needs to be explained in the ad. It was very difficult to find in the dark and once we did we couldn’t get in with the code provided. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the property manager to arrive - we were given the wrong code. Also, the furniture is old and very uncomfortable, except for the recliner which was ok. The mattress was also very uncomfortable. Even with all these complaints, the place is in a great location and has some charm to it. The property manager did get quarters to me in a very timely manner and provided laundry detergent which I thought was very nice!
