About this property

Mountain Modern Guest Home-3 acre Lawns, Pond and Gardens

Tranquil resort style property 40m from downtown Seattle on a private country lane is an ideal setting for your couples getaway or bring-the-family vacation.

The Stillwater Farm experience features 2 King master suites w luxury mattresses, linens and towels, along with a charming 2-person bunk room in a spacious open-plan home with a massive brick hearth fireplace (convenient propane) and a gathering room style cook's kitchen.

Enjoy the patio, fountain, flower gardens, rolling lawns and views of Stillwater Pond with private outdoor dining and relaxed seating around the fire-pit; or stroll down tree-lined Cherry Lane to the breathtaking Mt. Rainier viewing bench. Our natural pond attracts ducks, geese and herons visiting our resident bullfrog. Bunnies live on property and we have visits from bald eagles, a rare glimpse of river otter, and the occasional deer or coyote.

Dine in Covington, Maple Valley, Kent Station or Southport-Renton Landing restaurants or catch some shopping, the movie theatre or enjoy golf and Lake Washington's Gene Coulon beachfront park in 10m-15m. 20m to airport. Drive 15m across the valley to I-5, Des Moines Puget Sound waterfront, or all the sports and attractions of Seattle, Tacoma, or I-405N to Bellevue-Kirkland.

7 miles of Soos Creek paved walking and biking trail are 5 minutes down the road. Snoqualmie Falls, Mt. Si, North Bend and Cascade hiking and biking trails are about 20 minutes via Hwy 18 eastbound: or visit Mt. Rainier National Park in about 90 minutes. Enjoy the variety of our prime location near our world class city from a beautiful relaxed NW style estate. Enjoy the best of both worlds near attractions and services, yet close to the mountains, rivers and trails.

This is an extraordinary property. The pictures on-line do not do it justice. Private, secluded, and very safe. We were gathering as a family for a memorial service for close family. It was exactly what we needed.Thank you so much!

Peaceful stay…accurate description.
It seemed as if we were in a secluded getaway even though shopping was only ten minutes away. The property was beautifully maintained inside and out. The hostess, Alexa, was prompt and attentive to our needs. My mom (86) is disabled and had no problem navigating the house. One small step up at the back door.

Quiet stay
We took a family trip to the Seattle area this summer. We wanted to stay outside of the city. This was a great fit for us! It was nice and quiet, clean, and spacious for the five of us. We enjoyed our time here and the beautiful flowers surrounding the house! It was nice to come back to after being amongst the crowds in town! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Cozy house on a nice piece of property
This house is in a beautiful secluded neighborhood that sits on a small piece of land. The owners live in the neighboring house that sits about 200 feet away, but you still get more of a sense of privacy compared to most rental homes due to the size of the property and being nestled in the trees. The property is well manicured and kept. The insides of the house was clean and has plenty of beds! One room has a king bed and a set of bunk beds and another has two sets of bunk beds so this house is capable of holding a large group. There was no soap or shampoo in the bathrooms so if you book here make sure to bring some with you. There is a keurig coffee maker but no coffee pods, only green tea. So if you’re a coffee drinker like myself I would bring some of that as well.

Stay at the farmhouse
We had a great time at the farmhouse. The property was exactly as represented, was very comfortable, and had a beautiful back yard. We attended a wedding at nearby Shadow Lake, so it was the perfect location.

Visiting Family
This home worked well for us to visit our son and his family who live in the area. Yard was nice for relaxing and we enjoyed the trail for easy walk to explore the property. Appreciated the recliner chairs in living room. The beds on the home description do not match with the actual beds in the home. Thank you for your hospitality! Will stay here again if possible.

A wonderful Country Retreat!
This large 3 bedroom property is a wonderful place! It has very scenic surroundings including a duck pond and a walking trail. There is a gas fireplace that was terrific for chilly evenings and a large living room, too. Alexa, the property manager, could not have been more responsive, too. We will definitely stay here again! 5 BIG STARS!!

Great place to stay!
Highly recommend this home. Quiet, peaceful location that is located within 10-15 minutes of many shopping and eating places. Costco is close by. Loved the pond in the back yard that was visited by ducks every morning. Great view of Mt Rainier up the road. Comfortable beds. So much better than a hotel. The owners are located in a home next door and were wonderful to work with.

Amazing spot
It was just what we need for one week vacation. The farmhouse is welcoming in a large garden yard with beautiful colors. There’s a pond where frog and duck are familiar. The best stay experience in a house. We will stay there again in a next journey to Seattle. It was just as like pictures and description.

Kent Getaway
A warm and welcoming home situated just outside of Kent proper. Love that this home can be a retreat from Kent and still close enough to Kent, Covington and Maple Valley for quick trips as needed. The property was very charming. Surrounded by lush greenery and views of Mt. Rainier. Love the large windows in the living room as you wake up and look out into the distance. This home is great for anybody looking for a rental that can accommodate a family for a trip.
