Pleasant Stay

We very much enjoyed out say at this very modern house. The big windows allowed us to see the beautiful scenery around the property. Checkin was easy and predictable. It is close to the Trinity Tree Farm where we were attending a wedding. I would definitely recommend staying at this property.

Fantastic Rental

As part of a trip to see music in Seattle, we stayed at the mountain house. It was perfect for all four adults, giving us each our own spaces. We enjoyed the deck each morning, the Saturday Farmers Market in Issaquah, and the easy access to downtown Seattle. Would definitely consider staying here on a return visit.

What a wondertime and beautiful place

It’s not hard to find a beautiful home to rent but to find one with such lovely western, and Asian art, in the middle of these beautiful woods that is so well apportioned and stocked is very difficult. This was really a treat.

Birthday Holiday weekend

lovely home. Front door is a mess. Keys were not provided and when I called the property manager he told me I wasn’t supposed to lock the door, then hung up on me when I got upset about the idea of not being able to lock the front door. His wife was lovely and came over with keys but the process of getting keys and not being able to lock the door even if it is a safe location is ridiculous.

Family wedding nearby

Great central location for a rural family wedding nearby. Well appointed kitchen and really nice property instruction book that was clear. The property’s gate information was good, but the gate’s displayed property address is slightly different than the actual property address due to a shared parcel, which all worked out but should be considered when navigating.

Awesome Property!

Beautiful modern home in a natural and serene surrounding. Blackberries abound, especially asking the creek! Home was very clean; be aware that the owner has some personal belongings inside the home, Family photos, clothing, etc. Russ was very accommodating and had good communication. We enjoyed our stay!

Modern woodland retreat

We traveled to WA to visit in the Winter my aging MIL. We were positioned well from her, extended family, downtown, airport, and groceries by 10-30 mins. The property owner is prompt and courteous. He responds to inquires and is a responsible owner. The home is spacious, comfortable in the winter, quiet, clean, and the kitchen well appointed. The beds are perfection and the only place we have stayed hotel or home where my back didn’t hurt after 2 nights. The views are gorgeous and we were blessed with fog, sun, and freshly falling snow. Elk came to the yard. A bald eagle landed. There were comments about the decor and personal items. I saw something that changed my perspective about that. There’s a book in the home dog eared “100 places to go before I die”. There are numerous dog eared pages. I didn’t regard them but I realized why the eclectic collection of trinkets in the home. It is clear the owner has traveled and each items is a profession of his presence elsewhere and joy going and seeing. I was happy for him and when I shared my vantage with my family we all were grateful for being allowed into a space that displays living. It was a warm place filled with life set aside and shared with others wanting to live life away from home but surrounded by comfort and welcome. Thank you for renting to us and for the experience of borrowed experiences and for the welcome the spot has to nature and being in nature unobtrusively. Kindly, Jean

Beautiful home but a poor VRBO rental

Overall, the house is beautiful home, very modern and upscale. I’m sure as a 2nd home for the owner when he comes to the PNW it works great, but as a VRBO rental it was a HUGE disappointment unless you’re coming to do nothing but sit around. Now let us tell you why: WAY WAY too much personal stuff in the house, souvenirs, item’s from overseas, breakables, it felt like going to your mom’s house to stay over a holiday 1) family pictures hanging on the wall in the main room. 2) every window sill has knick-knacks and souvenirs on them. Which is great for a 2nd home, but for a VRBO rental it’s idiotic, your just asking for them to get broken. They’re always in the way, but your too scared to touch them to move … just like mom’s house. 3) Master Bedroom - Went to put our stuff away, but the closet and dresser were full of clothes. All the bathroom drawers had owner’s personal items in them. Where are we supposed to put OUR stuff? a) Master bedroom - Get rid of the “I love myself wall” AND ESPECIALLY THE 24” BY 36” SELF PORTRIAT THAT OVER LOOKS THE BED. It was just plain f**king creepy trying to sleep with it looking at us. Finally had to take it down and put it in the closet. 4) None of the bedroom windows have curtains or shades on them which meant that when the sun came up, there was no escape and we had to get up as well, and for us in July that was 530 - 600 am. 5) The fridge/freezer was FULL of food. How old is it? How long has it been there? Again, where are we supposed to put OUR stuff? 6) you will be staying just across the driveway from the caretaker, so expect a phone call over any perceived infraction or nuisance (such as laughing outside) again just like staying at your mom’s house. We rented this house for my wife’s 50th birthday gathering, let me say that again my wife’s 50th birthday, but between all the personal stuff and the constant vigilance (and phone calls), we never could relax and just have a good time. We have done VRBO rentals since 2013, and they have always been a success (until now). We will not come back, nor do we recommend it to anyone else, especially at this price point. Save your money and keep looking, you’ll be happier in the end. Rob & Kim C July 2021
