Nice view and patio

We rented the property for the view it offered from the patio-balcony. It was beautiful however that was the only part that was special. The home is old and the kitchen is only lightly stocked with essentials. No coffee (I know not required but often there’s something) , no extra blankets, no extra pillows, lots of signs around the house of what not to do, twin beds had short blankets that seemed children size. My co-workers were very uncomfortable and we had to steal a pillow from the king bed because one of the twin beds didn’t have one. I travel a lot and have stayed in many rental homes. I felt very unwelcome with all the signs posted in the house. Kathy was friendly in her text and responded quickly, however, if I would have known there were so many rules, I wouldn’t have rented.

Nice location, pleasant home

Overall very pleasant stay. Great location on Steel Lake with nice views. House is older but clean and comfortable. Some outlets in main bedroom aren’t functioning, and heating system took some getting used to. Kitchen appliances all worked great.

Relaxing home on the lake

Kathy was amazing and very responsive. The house was exactly what we wanted/needed and was so close to the venue we were spending most of our time at. Highly recommend this home.

Clean with wonderful lake views

This home was clean and we very much enjoyed sitting on the deck looking at the lake. The master bed was comfortable, there was plenty of toilet paper, and I generally found whatever I needed in the kitchen. Kathy was professional and responded quickly to communication. We would stay here again.

Comfortable beds Quiet neighborhood nice view of the lake Good location for our needs

Overall good stay Short on washcloths there were only 3 washcloths for 3 people for a week. The number one issue was the ac was a heat pump. It was very hot in Seattle the entire week The unit hanging in the living room mostly just cooled the living room. The house was 85 degrees when we arrived and it took 24 hours to cool it down. The bedrooms were not cool as we set up fans to push cool air back to the bedrooms. Therefore we did not sleep well . We were only in the place at nighttime since we were visiting with family every day The ac was the most important request we had for our stay there. Overall acceptable

Seattle Vacation

The VRBO condo was exactly as promised. It is large, clean, and has a view of Steel lake through large picture windows. The patio deck was large and had a table with chairs with an unobstructed view of the lake. The owner was very nice and very responsive. After just a few days, we already considered her more as a as a friend than an owner. Without question, we would stay there again.

Relaxing at the lake

We loved our time at this rental! It was a lovely home, a beautiful lake, and gardens! We so enjoyed spending time on the porch playing games and catching up while having such a beautiful view of the lake! A great place to gather! Lots of places for people to relax and enjoy! The owner was super nice and always so quick to respond if we had a question! Nice surrounding area too! Conveniences very near by. Planes are above, but we found out they are everywhere in the Tacoma area. Such is Seattle they say 😄 Only suggestion would be to know particulars about perks like campfires (some area rules or restrictions) and info on shared lake equipment, rules before renting. Which would be the case on any rental really. We’d definitely stay here again!

Disability discrimination

We booked this property 3 months in advanced. We told her of the fatal disease my grandson has. I haven't seen my family in 5 years because I'm a registered nurse and been battling COVID with patients. On the afternoon of our check in the owner canceled our reservation because she didn't want a service dog there. It's against the law to discriminate against the disabled and she did it once by denying us what we needed. She violated our rights and then terminated the reservation 2 hours before check in. We flew in for this vacation and was stranded. We will be seeking full refund and our disability rights attorney will be getting involved. We are a hardworking decent family and we were treated like garbage.

Fine Lake House

Fine house with a nice view of the lake and all the amenities listed. Kathy was very communicative. A few things folks might want to know -- The lake has a lot of lake weed so while the boating was nice, swimming from the house is not great. (We walked / kayaked to the public beach, which was nicer, but less convenient.) --Even though it was pretty hot while we there, it did not get too hot inside. -- Kitchen has all the basics, but pans were mostly scratched-up teflon --We found the queen bed to be excessively soft. --Living room light was quite bright/harsh for evenings. (Sunroom light was warmer, but made a whining noise.)

Relaxation, lovely setting

We had a great time at this home. It was so peaceful and beautiful on the lake. The home was well equipped, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time. Hoping to return in the future. Also, there are several restaurants only 5 minutes away, so take out was easy.

Beautiful, comfortable home on peaceful lake

This lake front home was beyond our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, roomy, with a fully equipped kitchen, lots of windows with beautiful views and a deck overlooking the lake. The views never get old and it was so peaceful to just sit on the deck and watch the ducks, geese and turtles in the lake and eagles flying overhead. The beautifully landscaped yard overflowing with flowers was breathtaking. The bed was very comfortable, there were plenty of towels and all appliances were clean and in working order. The location is great, close to shopping and restaurants and Kathy, the owner, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Check-in was easy and when we had questions she was always quick to reply.. My husband and I were so happy to find this home for our stay and hope to return and will definitely stay here again. Thank you Kathy for sharing your beautiful home.

Beware of upcharging

First, this property has a great view. That was the best thing about it. It is listed as a two bedroom two bath, but the stated price only allows use of one bathroom. It is another charge to access and use the second bathroom. When I reserved the property in Aug, I stated that two people would be staying there And the reason for my trip was to cook Thanksgiving dinner for my adult children. Two days before check in, the owner contacted me and said that if any more than two people were at the house, there was an additional charge for each person even if they were not sleeping there. Even if they were just there for dinner! When I arrived the key was not in place and I had to call the owner. She was apologetic saying she had confused the dates. There were no bath mats in either bathroom. There were not 7 place settings of flatware, so I had to buy some. There was a large dining table, but no chairs. The refrigerator quit working which we discovered the last morning. Everything in the refrigerator and freezer had to be thrown out. This house has a great view. But I wouldn’t rent it again.

beautiful pictures...BUT

We were shocked to receive email of CHECK IN information DAY BEFORE ARRIVAL that each visitor to property will add additional charges per day... Threat of eviction if not notified before also. (Our son,wife and 2 daughters and baby live in apt in the area and they had planned to come only to enjoy dinner together as a family. NO REASONABLE SOLUTION WORKED OUT WITH OWNER/MANAGER. ***This set off our stay on the wrong foot BIG TIME!! ***IF THERE IS TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES they should be stated in the write-up for potential renters to know BEFORE agreeing to rent. ALSO...Though we were a quiet family, neighbors called owner who came over accusing us, unjustly, that we had more people than the people I had called her to pay for the evening dinner. She was told that we were noisy, yet I asked if she had heard any noise and she agreed she didn't hear anything. I then introduced her to our family which I had called and paid for to be there. Perhaps, her neighbors don't want this home to be a rental, as she told of other times they had others call police. THIS was an unsettling experience for what was hoped to be enjoyable. There was road noise as it was a busy corner without a good place for pedestrians to walk. Occasional plane overhead was no big deal. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE - beautiful view of lake from bank of windows, back patio and yard. Home was very clean with well supplied kitchen utensils.
