WET towels leave over the shower wall is Great. If the used towels are DRY, leaving them on the bed is okay. Any potentially Stinky Trash would be Great to drop it in the garbage can on your way out.
If it’s a cold day, please turn the heat low, not completely off would be great. There is NO need to lock anything up but it is good if you would make sure both doors are closed tight when you leave.
Just leaving the key on the table is great. If you used the park pass, please hang it back up. Hopefully you had a Great time here at the Lake Tapps Bungalow and hope you return again in the future!!
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

My extended stay at the Bungalow surpassed all my expectations! The bungalow is very inviting with a great patio right next to one of the many lake inlets. Inside feels light and spacious with lots of windows and skylights, while still being very warm and cozy. The hosts Ed and Sheri are so friendly and easy to work with, and they always responded quickly. I enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and bathroom, the little laundry area, and all the spare blankets and pillows. I loved the private park across the street and the beautiful walks along the lake with views of Mt. Rainier. The neighborhood feels very safe and friendly. I would definitely make a return visit here!

Awesome place

This was such a cute, private and serene place to stay in a very safe area. The owner Ed was very responsive and a great communicator. We stayed for four nights as we were in town for a music event and a family birthday. This property is beautiful and was as described. We were sad to leave and our fur babies also loved it. We will definitely stay here again if we need to stay in this part of town.

Felt like home away from home!

This is the first property I have stayed in with VRBO that I can give an outstanding review for! This felt like we were coming in for a romantic getaway on the water that was owned by family. I will come back and bring our daughter as the water access is fantastic. Beautiful property!

Perfect place for your little family

We had a great time staying here! it was very clean and cozy. It was the perfect amount of space for the two of us and our two dogs! There are plenty of things to do in the area and in the cottage. It has a great view of the water and lots of areas for you to walk around. I would definitely recommend staying here and would even come back myself.

Very nice

Overall very good! Great location for where we needed to be. Unfortunately we could not spend as much time at the bungalow as we wanted, our Grandson’s team kept winning all of their games and got the championship. I know there is not enough room in the bungalow but a small washer and dryer would have really helped for longer stays. I would definitely recommend this property.
