About this property

Luxury Forest Escape with Fire Pit and Waterfall and Private Decks• Near Seattle

Escape to a luxury forest retreat nestled among towering Douglas firs on Squak Mountain. Wake to birdsong, enjoy your morning coffee on your private cedar deck, and unwind beside a tranquil koi pond and cascading waterfall—all less than a mile from charming downtown Issaquah and just 20 minutes from Seattle.

The beautifully remodeled south guest suite features a private entrance, dedicated on site parking, a cedar deck with outdoor dining, a fully equipped kitchen, radiant heated floors, and thoughtfully designed spaces that invite you to relax. Floor-to-ceiling windows create the feeling of living among the trees in every season.

Thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained, our Guest Favorite retreat has earned exceptional guest reviews from travelers seeking a peaceful Pacific Northwest escape.

Miles of scenic hiking trails are just minutes away, making this an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Although attached to our home, the guest suite is entirely separate and designed to provide a quiet, private stay. Guests are welcome to enjoy the shared gardens, koi pond, waterfall, and fire pit. The owners’ north patio, grill, and outdoor living area are reserved for our private use.

Please note: Our home features cherished antiques, original artwork, water features, and a beautiful historic stained-glass window. Because it has not been childproofed and contains several delicate features, it is best suited for adults and older children who will appreciate its peaceful setting.

Your own private luxury forest retreat, where the soothing sound of a waterfall, towering evergreens, and beautifully landscaped gardens create a peaceful getaway just minutes from Seattle. Relax by the fire pit under the stars, enjoy coffee on the deck surrounded by nature, and unwind in a warm, beautifully designed home that feels worlds away from the city while remaining close to Issaquah, hiking trails, wineries, restaurants and the Pacific Northwest.

"Chez Squak" is a lovely property with a very relaxing vibe. We greatly enjoyed the outdoor spaces - koi pond, waterfall, firepit, and large deck with multiple mountain views. The interior of the home is comfortable and the kitchen is very well stocked. Our hosts were helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again when we visit family in the area.

The property is really lovely. The landscaping is amazing and creates a quiet place to read and enjoy the outdoors. We sat at the large outdoor table and ate dinners and sat on the comfortable cushioned bench to drink our coffee in the mornings. The indoor space is wonderful: clean, very comfortable beds and high-quality sheets and pillows. The kitchen was very well equipped and we found ourselves not wanting for anything. The owners were very helpful to us when we had questions and even helped a young family member who was visiting us with feeding the fish in the backyard. All in all a great stay!!

Exceeded expectations

If the description and photos of this property impress you, prepare to have those impressions eclipsed as soon as you walk in the door. Inside and out this home draws you in and instantly makes you regret not booking a longer stay. First thing our kids asked immediately upon entering was if we could stay longer. The attention to detail is remarkable and the thought that went into anticipating what guests needs may be is beyond impressive. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, I can still hear the wind chime that made the time I spent out on the deck so enjoyable. We enjoyed our daily outings, but looked forward to getting back every evening to enjoy this amazing home. No regrets, no recommendations, definitely no complaints.
