Lakefront retreat house
This is a unique place sitting by lake. 1404 sqft. Entire lower floor faces to lake. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Newly remodeled. Private double docks and beautiful garden. Baby cannoy crib provided. This area is zoned as a resort around the Lake Tapps. Seattle Hot Air balloons company sends their hot air balloons over the lake very often. Seems like here is one of their appointed spots. Sitting on my dock, you can see both of Mountain Rainier several hot air balloons. Lots of water gears are busy in the lake. It is a wonderland.
I booked this place for a friend⊠The entire process from start to finish was wonderful. Helen reached out to me the day before check-in to make sure all was well and we ended up having the most wonderful conversation! My friend sent pictures during the day, and I could see that everything was in ship shape, and a beautiful, spacious, fully provided setting for a great family get together. Both indoors and outdoors met and exceeded hopes! He, who is a man of few words, texted me when it was over, gushing. Amazing! Thank you, Helen!
The owner lives upstairs; this was not included on the details. With her dog. I returned from being out and about, my husband and son were on the dock. The dog was inside the VRBO barked at me upon my return. It was really irritating. Cabinets were so high that I could not reach the coffee cups, no step stool to be found. I did not enjoy this stay and would not recommend this home. Owner failed to provide me with access information. I had to reach out to her on the fly and request the information. While it was promptly provided, I did not appreciate the lack of communication upfront. Bar soap was provided in showers and for handwashing at guest bathroom sink. GROSS! I do NOT want to use other people's bar soap. I feel this property was mis advertised. I would not have booked it I had known otherwise.
Lovely Home and ViewsâMinor Surprises Upon Arrival
I really enjoyed my time at this propertyâitâs a beautiful, peaceful spot by Lake Tapps with gorgeous views and a well-maintained garden and dock area. The home is nicely remodeled, clean, and overall quite comfortable. That said, one thing to note is that the listing doesnât clearly mention that the rental is actually the lower level of a home, more like a mother-in-law suite. Itâs not a standalone space, so if you're looking for total privacy or silence, especially in the mornings, thatâs something to keep in mind. Iâm a late sleeper on vacation and could hear quite a bit of activity from upstairs early each day.Still, I had a great time overall and would consider coming back. Just a bit more clarity in the description would help future guests set their expectations. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Great spot to relax and enjoy the lake. This is a nice ground floor rental, with owner on main floor. Provides easy access to ask questions and supply stay needs. There is private access to accommodations. However, If you want maximum privacy look elsewhere.
Our stay at the lakefront property on Lake Tapps was nothing short of a piece of paradise. The serene views of the lake, combined with the peaceful ambiance, made for the perfect getaway. Helen was absolutely wonderfulâso caring and attentive, ensuring that every detail was just right. The property itself was immaculate, with all the amenities we needed to feel at home. We spent our days relaxing by the water and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. If youâre looking for a tranquil retreat, this is the place to be. We canât wait to return!
Helen was a fantastic host who gave us such a good vacation. The property is absolutely stunning and Helen fielded all of our questions immediately! Her property is so gorgeous and our dogs loved it.
If we are in the area again, we will definitely be booking here!
Loved our stay at Helen's lake place. Beautifully done space with many amenities and right on the lake. Helen, the owner and Curly her dog, could not be any sweeter. Very nice stay for our family to get together over a long weekend with lots to do.
Our family of four + dog had a great time at Helenâs place. The weather was picture perfect for playing and on the water. We took daily family paddle board trips, played board games under the pavilion, played partner billiards inside, and went to bed exhausted and happy!
The Hansons
The house was absolutely wonderful and Helen was so accommodating to us. We had a couple issues (ours not hers) that she was able to resolve quickly. The house was exactly what we needed for our stay. Only thing we wish we wouldâve known about was the owners dogs having full access to the yard in front of our house (gate between yards doesnât latch shut). Our dog is friendly to people, but doesnât do well with other dogs, so we had to ensure that the other dogs were nowhere near since there was no way to keep them separated, which resulted in our dog not being able to explore outside as much as we wouldâve liked. All in all the stay was wonderful, but wanted to make sure others were aware of the other dogs being around in case you have a people-dog like us.
