Overview
Property Details
House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, 5 Sleeps
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.

The way to stay in Federal Way
We visit our grandkids quite often in Federal Way. We usually stay at the Hampton Inn or Marriott. We decided to try something different and are really happy we did. It's great staying where you can cook your own dinner, relax out on a spacious deck and just live like it were your home. The property is very well maintained, the floor plan is great. All the appliances are new, great assortment of cooking and eating utensils, counter tops are granite, floors are a mix of tile and laminate type. Everything is spotless. The owners live on site and are very friendly and helpful. Oh, and by the way, the views are terrific from the deck, front room and kitchen/dining area. Very relaxing and fun.
This rental was just right
We were visiting the area as a family gathering, but there were too many to stay at our daughter's house. The house was clean and well maintained, and furthermore it provided a fine gathering spot for all of us on a sunny weekend day. The back yard and waterfront with pier and paddle boat was a nice bonus. We were glad for this opportunity.
Great lake view, cozy house, and really nice house owner
Kathy and Todd are really friendly. It is really interesting to talk with them. The house is cozy and has a balcony with an amazing lake view. The best part is we can drive the boat to the middle of lake and swim in the lake. We really like their house.
Very Beautiful
We had a really good time. Kathy and Todd were very sweet and welcoming. We loved their home.
Thanks for sharing.
Cozy and warm place to stay; feels like home
We loved this place. The lake view is amazing, the house is warm and cozy and the kids had room to do things. We will definitely be back next year if the house is available. The owners are friendly and made us feel at home in their rental. They helped us with places to see, eat, and shop at. All of their recommendations couldn't have been better.
This house is welcoming and the stay felt more like staying at a relatives house then a vacation home.
Not a happy renter this time
The home is old but doable. It has new very nice hardwood floors in the living area, hall and bedrooms but the kitchen and bathroom has old very stained linoleum. The first night we noticed that the bathtub/shower nozzle was in very poor condition and the water pressure in the tub was so poor that the shower would hardly run. We notified the owners with no response. A couple of days later, the nozzle broke completely with the water stuck on all hot. Fortunately my husband had a pair of pliers in the car that he was able to use to get it shut off. We again notified the owners and they came and replaced the plastic piece. They also had a plumber come and check the poor pressure but weren't going to have it fixed until after we left (2+ weeks later). I told them that the pressure was so bad that I couldn't even wash my hair and that we would be leaving early and requested a refund of the balance. The owner said that was fine and they understood. However, when we were able to find another home and told them that we would be leaving that day, we were told that they would only refund 1/2 of the balance. I again explained that the pressure was so bad that I couldn't even wash my hair, I was told that we could have lived with it. The hot water heater is in the 2nd bedroom in the closet without a door which made my husband very uncomfortable since our 6 year old granddaughter slept in that room. The view of lake is the best part of the house, but neither of the boats were in usable condition. Due to the feel of the neighborhood, we wanted to close the gate to the driveway every night only to have the owners tell us to have them open by a certain time every morning so that the workers that re-roofing their house which is right next door could park in our driveway. When we were checking in, the owner made no bones about the fact that they watch the house closely and the people that clean it watched it too. Although that is fine, it made me feel spied on and a bit uncomfortable. We have rented through this site several times, so I was very disappointed with this experience. I feel that for amount of money charged, the home should be in usable condition and if there is an issue with the home, a refund should be made.
