Overview
House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, Sleeps 8
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 a large flat panel TV. 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.

Great place and great people to meet thank you for the pleasant visit
Nice Cottage on the Lake
We were visiting Federal Way for the ASA 16U Girls National Softball tournament held in Kent, WA from Florida. Our party included two adult females and two children aged 6 and 8.
The Pros: The house is central to several location located around Seattle. We had easy access to shopping and restaurants in Federal Way. The access to the lake was great with the kayaks and paddleboats. The children really enjoyed swimming on the days we spent at the house. The gardens were amazing. It was nice to have a washer and dryer. There is plenty of parking. This rental is great for a small family or a small party.
The Cons (Not Complete Deal Breakers but Be Aware): There is NO AIR CONDITIONING, which normally would not have been a big deal except that while we were there in July, the state was having record setting heat. I think a side note in the house description would have been appropriate for future renters. The two box fans that were provided was helpful however during the hottest days, which included more than just a day or two, we had to leave the house during the day to find cooler places. The owners were very kind when we approached them with our a/c concerns and made us aware that all the windows could be opened to allow air-flow however renters should be aware this house is on a busy street with lots of traffic and as woman with small children in a foreign city, sleeping with open windows is not safe and should not be the only option available. The house did have slow drainage in the shower and kitchen sinks which we read in the reviews prior to renting. The beach area had some broken glass which was concerning but we just made the children wear their water shoes. Also, be mindful that if the rental next door has renters you will have to share the kayak and paddleboats so there may be days you don’t have access to those items.
Overall good stay, would have been better had the house not been so hot for our stay.
Great Vacation House
We had a great time at the Steel Lake cottage. It was comfortable and Kathy was very attentive to our needs. It was a convenient location and only a short 30 min drive into Seattle. The playground across the lake was wonderful for our kids. Would stay there again.
AMAZING!!!!!!!
This was a perfect vacation spot for my family. I was in Seattle and wanted them to have somewhere that the boys could play and the adults could relax. Could not have asked for a better place or host. Kathy was awesome and very attentive to our needs. Being here in the 4th of July was perfection.
If you ever need a Great Lake house to call home for a week you won’t find anything g better than this one.
Loved it!!!
We always enjoy the time we spend here. Kathy is the best host!!!!
