About this property

Lakehouse Getaway For Fun In The Sun

This custom Lake Cavanaugh home with finished walkout basement and loft, is the ultimate retreat for family and friends - and only 90 minutes north of Seattle. If you are former guests of Mary's Quilting Cabin, please contact me to learn about our special accommodations for you and your group. We have 10 quilting tables and folding chairs, extra lighting, cutting mats, and other accessories.

Nestled amongst lovely mature trees, with a private dock and boat slip, this spectacular home provides ample space for joint family getaways or large groups. Enjoy the amazing views of Lake Cavanaugh and the beautiful snow capped mountains. The lovely stone fireplace and 8 person hot tub, makes this home the perfect year-round getaway.

The house has 2 bedrooms, a bonus room, a large walkout basement, huge loft & 2 full bathrooms. Our lakehouse sleeps 12 very comfortably. The open kitchen is well stocked with all the necessities from home. It's perfect for entertaining and you'll love the granite island with extra seating, stainless appliances, and Keurig coffee maker. There are plenty of cozy couches and chairs to curl up and read, nap (pack & play provided) play a game or just relax & enjoy the view. The gas fireplace provides warmth and ambiance or you can head out back to the fire pit to roast marshmallows if you prefer. Enjoy your fun in the sun, while setting the DVR to record your favorite shows or login to our Smart TV for a relaxing evening by the fire. We also provide a small selection of books and movies for your entertainment. Relax with a good book and a glass of wine on the floating dock or in the hammock chair - the sunsets are spectacular!

Outside, there are never-ending possibilities for fun. Relax in the private hot tub, take a peaceful paddle in our 2 tandem kayaks provided, or enjoy a variety of other boating activities. The lake is the perfect place to spend summer days, playing with the kids and swimming. Our western exposure provides ample sun all day. Bring your boat and spend the day swimming, water-skiing or tubing. If you like fishing, the season is open year round. The main species are rainbow and cutthroat trout, as well as brook trout, largemouth bass and kokanee.

The surrounding area has quad trails, hiking, and wonderful biking opportunities. The paved road around the lake is about 8 miles around and well traveled by homeowners and guests. Keep a look out for deer, bald eagles and plenty of other wildlife while you're enjoying the splendor of the lake and surrounding area.

For other activities near by, you can enjoy a round of golf at Overlook Golf Course (20 min away) or Eaglemont Golf Course (30 min away in Mount Vernon). There are also 3 major casinos within 30 to 45 minute's drive: Angel of the Winds, Tulalip Casino and Quil Ceda. While you're in town, you can also hit the outlet mall in Tulalip or head north to the Burlington outlet mall.

Take a day trip to the San Juan Islands by catching a ferry at Anacortes, just under an hour's drive. The San Juans by ferryboat is a beautiful way to experience the Puget Sound.

In the spring, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is a wonderful event to attend. You can get there easily within 30 to 40 minutes. Don't forget your camera to capture the colorful display. The Kangaroo Farm in Arlington makes a wonderful outing, especially if you have kids who will enjoy feeding and petting various animals.

During fall and winter, cozy up in front of the fire with a puzzle, board game or good book after a bike ride or hike around the lake. The mountains and trees take on a fabulous glow under a dusting of winter snow.

Your family & friends will leave Lake Cavanaugh wanting to return! We know you will enjoy this piece of paradise as much as our family does.

We loved it so much, we came back again!

This was our second time having a cozy crafting weekend at this house, and it was just as good - if not better! - the second time around. Plenty of space for everyone to do their own activities, lots of beds, and a decently stocked kitchen. We'll probably be back in the Spring for round 3!

Perfect for a weekend getaway with friends

We wanted a spot for a cozy crafting and reading weekend, and this was exactly what we were looking for! There was enough space for everyone to be comfortable and do whatever they wanted to do. The waterfront access was a fantastic bonus, and the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and everything we would need to cook with. The hot tub was toasty, the views were great, and we're already planning our next vacation here for the Fall. Be aware that, although there are plenty of coffee makers in the kitchen, no coffee is provided. Not a big deal, we just didn't realize it, and the nearest store is about half an hour away. Overall, fantastic, peaceful, and beautiful - and would definitely stay here again.

summer family gathering

Beautiful spot although dock is across the road down a very steep slope. Everything in house was great but bedding needs to be updated. Kitchen island was great spot to fill with food the entire weekend. Made music and good memories though didn't use fire or fire table and with burn ban no outdoor fire ring. Thank you.

Summer getaway

Our family (Mom, dad, 3 adult children, 2 grandchildren, and grandma) had a great time at this property. Having access to the lake, boat dock, and kayaks made the stay extra special during the day; while the hot tub and fire pit made for relaxing evenings. There were ample towels, blankets, and pillows, and more than enough silverware and utensils for all of us. However I gave it a 4 star rather than 5 due to the parking being very steep and hard to get to, especially with a larger truck. Also, the bushes on the front side of the patio were so overgrown, they blocked the entire pathway to the patio and even extended to the outdoor dining area, calling on quite a few mosquitoes.

Beautiful spot, pictures look just like the house. Host gives accurate information and very detailed. We could never figure out the ceiling speakers so the tv seemed quiet to us but that’s minor detail. Room for everyone and over all great experience!

Amazing location

Such a wonderful location. The view from the deck is amazing. The view from the dock is to die for. So glad we were lucky enough to stay here. As far as amenities and such, the cabin is great. Has everything you need -which is good bc it is 30 min to the store! Place is bigger than we realized. Lots of "rooms" even if unofficial bedrooms (loft, basement, kids dorm area, plus 2 more bdrms). We loved it.

Great Lake, Great Value

The property could have been cleaned up a bit better, but overall the house and property were really nice! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would ever need, there were a ton of beds which worked out great for us, and the dock and water toys were perfect! Lake Cavanaugh is a hidden gem and and I would definitely stay here again.

Second time staying here. We love the dock, fishing, hot tub and kayaking. We caught our dinner. The whole family had a good time. New floors are nice. New washing machine and dryer but the towels are still rotten. Door screen was a nice addition. This lake house is a treasure!

Awesome location for a great Girl Cousin's Retreat

Beautiful home in a woodsy lake location. Sometimes the boats on the lake were noisy, but otherwise really peaceful and private. Wonderful host, who quickly responded to our needs. The driveway is an extreme driving experience but the view is worth it. And the home is very comfortable.

My friends and I had an amazing weekend in this property. The location is priceless- we were lucky with the weather. The house is equipped with tons of things - fire pit, bbq, games, hottub, games, etc. The check in and out process was super easy. We would love to come back in the summer for another girls getaway. I recommend this property 100%.

Relaxing by the lake!

We rented this property to get away from the city. It was everything we could hope for. We made large dinners, played board games, watched movies, went fishing, boating and swimming. Then relaxed in the hot tub listening to music. Home was well stocked with everything you might forget. Will definitely stay here again! Perfect for multi-family get togethers!

Great house but a few down falls

The house itself was great, however the appliances, pans, etc were quite dated and old. The driveway is extremely steep so drop your boats before driving up and there is another neighbor to the left. The dock isn't connected as well and the walk back up is quite steep so pack a cooler for the dock! The owner does also ask you to do quite a bit of cleaning as well.

There were 5 of us ladies that stayed the weekend to scrapbook. It was wonderful having all of the tables and chairs available so we didn't have to bring our own. The house is very large and can accommodate a lot of people. Amazing views of the lake and we can't wait to come back. We even met a new chipmunk friend.

About the host

Hosted by Zeeny Partee

Host profile image
My husband and I have been searching for just the right lake house to create wonderful family memories with our 2 sons. Lake Cavanaugh is both close to Seattle and tucked away in a lovely wooded and peaceful setting. We love our time at the lake and wanted to share this beautiful, custom home with others. We have also added special amenities to accommodate large quilting/craft groups that need a place to gather.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home for the beautiful craftsmanship, the awesome views and easy assess to the lake. We wanted a place to fish, swim, kayak, and enjoy the spectacular outdoors.

What makes this property unique

The great room with its wall of windows makes you feel like you're outside. You get to enjoy this majestic setting year around.
