Lakefront- fenced - no animal- allergies

Come to experience a luxurious stay on a beautiful lakefront home with own beach and dock. The lake
is fresh, clear, and clean with lots of fish for fishing activity on your own private dock. Swimming is also one of the favorite activities while staying at the house. A 3-person paddle boat is provided free-of-charge for your enjoyment. The house is within walking distant to a beautiful, green, and well maintained park with swimming area and large playground for the children.
You will find two bedrooms, a private bath with a spacious kitchen, complete with dining room and living room, both with the lake view. A
private laundry room with large size washer and dryer. Living room is
furnished with 2 configurable couches. Walk out your living room to a large deck to enjoy the fresh breeze and the view of the lake. Outdoor gas grill is provided for bbq and gather cooking. There is a fire pit on private beach
for a bonfire evening with friends, family, or business associates.
For leisure travelers, we are in the heart of the city with endless activities/attractions in or
nearby cities; i.e. golf, skiing, ice skating, water activities, mountain activities, city
activities, theme parks, etc... Or you could just sit in the deck or on the dock, reading books, and
enjoy the green beautiful view and the fresh breeze that the lake provides.
For business travelers, we are also very close to big corporations such as Weyerhaeuser, Boeing,
Alaska Air, etc.. Come and stay as a warm and cozy home away from home while attending businesses.
We are just fifteen minutes south from Sea-Tac airport, and 20 minutes from downtown Seattle or
downtown Tacoma. Close to numerous attractions, or secluded enough to just relax and enjoy the view
and activities on the awesome lake for a few days - especially the magnificent sunset. More
pictures will be sent upon request.
There are 2 exterior - outside the house - camera at the entrance door to the house. One point toward the parking area - inside the gate, and one point at platform in front of the door. There is no camera inside the house nor point toward inside the house. Shared dock, paddle boats, and kayak with next house’s Guests. The property is for general lodging. It is not for accommodating Guests medical and/or allergy conditions.

Great little lake house. Quiet location we had fun with the paddle boat, kayaks, fire pit for s’more with a huge park, swimming area close by and friendly coots, ducks and geese came by to visit. The property had many fruit trees which provided sweet snacks. Owner was excellent with communication and very accommodating.

Awesome Stay In a Very Good Property

Our overall stay at Kathy’s property went well and had an amazingly time. From evening banter at the Patio while barbecuing to afternoons paddle boating at Steele lake, it was awesome. Nights were fabulously quiet. Kathy was ann awesome host and felt with our every need. Everything in the house was well kept. Will surely book again in the future when we get a chance to be back!

A lovely respite in the midst of where you want to be…

Spain, California and Arizona is where we 3 arrived from to visit our old stomping grounds. What a delightful stay we enjoyed on Steele Lake. This little hideaway is centrally located to all the beautiful people, places and things we had in mind. Wonderful Host as well. ⭐️ Beautiful views and grounds too🤩

Serene experience

This is the second time that I have stayed in Kathy's properties. On both occasions, the communication was great and the propertiies were just as advertised. The property was clean, organized and there were ample supplies to cook (including spices and other food essentials). The stay was just what was needed and I appreciate the prompt response and communication. If you are interested in having a peaceful stay with great views, I highly recommend this property.

Great House, horrible beds

The house and location is very nice. I asked before making a reservation on comfort of beds since I didn’t see anything on beds in any reviews. The beds are very hard and squeaky. This might be comfortable to the owner but for our family we are not used to hard beds. We slept on the futon’s as they was more comfortable than the beds.

Hidden Gem w/Conditions

I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews but I’m glad I continued as this house is a little hidden gem. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on the lake with beautiful views out the back. Pros - location is close to travel corridor & nightlife but far enough that you don’t notice. Easy to get in and out of. Home has everything you’ll need including lake access. Cons - for us bigger folks, the toilet in the bathroom is a TIGHT squeeze. The No Visitors day or night kinda defeats the purpose of getting a house, even if you just want to entertain outside. Luckily my family had a house nearby. That kind of info needs to be included in the listing and not as an afterthought before you arrive.

Horrid Stay

Kathy & I spoke by phone before I booked her Vrbo. I told her it was my 79th birthday gift to myself & that I wanted to walk out of the house & into the lake numerous times a day. A photo shows a nice set of stone steps going from the house to the beach. There were no steps. There was a long & fairly steep cement ramp with a rickety rail. When I got to the bottom of the ramp there was a rock & a cement block piled together. I moved each to keep my balance. Getting into the lake was horrid. Luckily, I brought swim shoes. I walked to the dock so I would have something to hang onto. I walked in muck over my knees to get into deeper water. I would never have rented the house had I known how difficult it was to get in the lake. No beach towels. All the plants & lawn were dead & dry as a bone. Not like photos. The bedrooms were terribly noisy from road traffic. I rented the house from Tuesday & out Saturday. I swam Tuesday, left & went back Friday to get my swimsuit, beach towel etc. No cleaning needed except perhaps sweep the floor. I wrote Kathy & explained my complaints & asked her not to respond & she didn’t. In every negative review no problem was ever her fault. I literally threw $1,500.00 in the garbage. My decision but because the difficulty getting in & out of the lake. I was there less than three hours total. Stay at the Comfort Inn where there is a pool & go to Steel Lake Park. It is a piece of cake to get in the lake.

We stayed here for a baseball tournament in the area. The listing is accurate and for the price and being on a lake it is perfect. Communication was great and the house had all we needed for the week we were there. You are close to anything you’d need with a bit of tranquility from the lake.

5 Stars – Great Stay for Work or Play!I stayed here with two of my employees while we were in town for training, and it worked out perfectly! The setup was ideal for three adult women—two bedrooms and a bathroom, plus two futons in the living room gave each of us our own space. It was super clean, cozy, and felt really private, even though the area was active with nearby parkgoers.The location is fantastic—just minutes from grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. There’s even a park across the lake, which makes it feel peaceful and scenic without being too far out.Even though we were there for work, I kept thinking how perfect this spot would be for a family getaway too. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Federal Way!

Home on lake

Multiple rules with signs all over the house on what not to do. House was very cold when we arrived, took several hours to get it to a comfortable temp without wearing a jacket. However the owner allowed us in early as our flight in early so maybe she was going to turn on the temp. The furniture was covered with sofa covers that did not fit well and slid all over. The first few dishes we used were very greasy and made us feel gross, we ended up washing ever dish we used before using it. The outside will be beautiful when the weather is nice.

Our overall stay was great. The property was clean (except for the windows) and had everything we needed and is in a great location. The pictures are a bit deceiving, the outside of the property looks nothing like the pictures and could use quite a bit of updating. Kathy was very kind and responsive to all messages.

The home was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is beautiful and feels private while still being near shopping and entertainment. We were here for a swim meet at the Weyerhaeuser Aquatic Center and the house was a nice short drive away.
