Serenity and verdure are what you will encounter at Lake Desire.
Our second weeklong stay put us under the spell of this special place. John is a great host and the house is very comfortable. The trail to the top of Echo Peak is steep, but on a clear day you have a great view of Mt.Rainier. Looking forward returning next year.

Relaxing and Beautiful
This stay was wonderful! From the start, the communication with the owners was excellent, and that continued during our stay. If we needed anything, they were there to help. The home is well decorated and matched the pictures in the listing. There are several gathering places in the home, and we were on the deck a lot. Everything was available to cook our own meals, and the house is very organized. The landscaping was beautiful, and the view to the lake is unbeatable. We were able to use the boats on the lake and walked the trail up the mountain with the trailhead a few houses away. This was our first VRBO, and we give it a five-star rating and recommend it to anyone!

Delightful Lake Destination with kayaks
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this delightful home on the shore of Lake Desire. The deck was fabulous for meals and relaxing, the kitchen was very well equipped, and the home was comfortable. We loved having access to kayaks and a private dock. The owners were very thoughtful and available when needed while ensuring our privacy. They left a lovely bouquet of fresh herbs from their garden on arrival. We hope we can visit again.

The view!!!
Hard to leave to large deck overlooking the lake and forest. Serene and peaceful. The house was good with all the basics and good size. Clean and the hosts who live next door were great and not intrusive. Great trail a few houses down and my husband loved hiking to the summit. Great view of Mr Ranier. Boats also available for use. 2 miles to grocery store in a good sized shopping center. Southcenter mall about 15 minutes. Want to return next year!!
