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!

Immediately felt very much at home. Ron, the onsite host, was very quick to take care of any needs...and he works tirelessly at maintaining the outdoor landscape and amenities.

In town to see our kids and granddaughter for Easter. This place on the lake was perfect! Easy access, quiet location, and beautiful lakefront property. If we head back to Washington before our son gets out of the military, we will look to stay here first!

Overall great quiet location right on the lake! There isn’t a hot tub on the property (which I thought there was based on the posting). WiFi doesn’t work so plan on using data. Kitchen was lacking some basics like salt. It was

I was in town for my grandson’s track meet and the track was just 2 miles away. It was a perfect spot to come back to and relax. The lake is so beautiful and my grandson enjoyed the giant lawn chess and even taught his grandma how to play chess. If I am ever back in Tacoma, I would certainly love to stay here again.

Unlocking the place was tricky. Quick to respond to my text asking for help. There was a smell. Not bad. Just super noticeable. Clean. Could use a deep clean throughout. Partiers were loud underneath and outside the window Saturday night. Not enough space to leave a thorough review.

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.

We were greeted by Ron the manager which was very attentive, and his hospitality was wonderful during our stay. I loved all the flowers that were around the building which made it homey. The lake view was beautiful and cool. It was great to have use of the canoe and kayaks too. We have never stayed at a lake house before, so it was a great treat. The surrounding area shopping mall has everything you need.

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.

Beautiful location on a pristine for an exceptionally reasonable price. The only downside is that the access instructions and Wi-Fi instructions were not accurate or current. They described a lock box with keys when it was actually a keyless entry. The Wi-Fi usernames were listed times five but none of them matched. So we just used our data, otherwise I would stay here anytime I’m up here to visit family.

I came from Texas where air conditioning is a necessity. So you can imagine how felt when I finally was able to find my room was in town for a wedding. I did not know that most places did not have air conditioning.

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

I think some addition to detail could be used to place this property on top. I provided some input to host that was professionally addressed and for that I appreciate the effort of the host. Could be a 5*** with a bit more attention and with clearer instructions on operations. Small changes to include water pressure and temp of water in kitchen. Host was very receptive and helpful.

Have stayed their two previous summers and were quite satisfied. But this summer stayed in different unit and was not impressed. Floors needed sanding and woodwork replaced or painted. Also Ron told us this year we could not have our son and family visit us as we did previous two summers. New policy. But then other unit had guests allowed. Double standard.
