Wonderful cedar log home on Lake Shoecraft (next to Lake Goodwin) near Smokey point in Stanwood, WA. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath with full kitchen, wood burning stove, deck, dock, 100+ no bank beach. The home features lots of parking, beautiful views, great swimming, water skiing, water sports, and fishing. The lake is stocked every year with trout and features excellent fishing. Included in the rental is a 11 foot Columbia fiberglass boat (similar to a Boston Whaler), three kayaks, one SUP, and lots of water toys and inflatables as well as croquet and other lawn toys. I have a couple of fishing poles and some gear also but if you are a serious fly fisher you will want to bring your own (the lake is stocked with trout every spring). Two of the bedrooms have queen or king beds and the third has two sets of bunk beds. Country store is just down the road for anything you didn't bring (and has the best fishing gear) as well as an excellent restaurant, the Paddle Pub. Also short distance to Tulalip Casino and the Seattle Premium Outlet Mall in Marysville. Free high speed WIFI.

This is a great wholesome place to spend a weekend or more! We had an amazing time and were lucky enough to be able to use the boating and water sports equipment. I’ll definitely be looking at booking this cabin again!

This house was so nice and clean. It was older than I expected inside. But, for being so aged, it was very clean. No dust or cobwebs. Not urine stains or pet fur. It was very clean, which made me so happy. Thank you so much for the beautiful use of your home!!!
Well equipped older home on a beautiful property on Shoecraft lake. It had everything a group of guys needed to relax and unwind. Communication was good, we were very pleased with our stay.
The cabin has the perfect cabin vibe. And the dog loved the lake!
Thanks for sharing your lovely cabin.

Beautiful property. Needs upkeep. NOT handicap accessible - AS ITIS ADVERTISED!
The house is beautiful - love the rustic charm. The view and being on the water was amazing. The house and property are clean but not maintained. The picnic table, deck and dock need to be sanded and restained, there is paint peeling off the exterior of the house in several locations, there is a hole in the floor covered by a throw rug at the back door and the railing that goes down the stairs to the water is loose. There is no lighting outside front or back - not even on the stairs. There are planter boxes that are falling apart and growing weeds. Also the property is listed as handicap accessible which is not true. There are two steps to get into the house unless you go through the bunk bed room then you have to go through a narrow hall to get to the main area (however, once we unlocked and opened the French doors we weren't able to get them to lock again). My wheelchair would not fit down the hall or in the bathroom 😡. When we got there we didn't have a code to get in. Called, texted and emailed the host. No response. Took an hour and a half for vrbo to get it for us. The host called two days later. Said I couldn't reach him because he was out of the country - need a contact person for emergencies if you aren't going to be available. Despite the lack of upkeep it is a nice property and we had a good time. Seems like for the price it would be in better shape.
We love this property. Short walk to lake we leave our paddleboards blown up all week and is fun to just walk out and go. We have been coming here for 6 years. Close to everything so other family can come play for the day.
Our family had a great time paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and swimming. I think we took advantage of every amenity!! Lovely setting and mostly quiet end of lake. We’d definitely rent it again!
Fully stocked for any need. Great fun on the lake. Liked the the geese on the lake, the bald eagle that landed in the tree on the property, and the bunny who hoppped by! Would love to return.
They house was so kitchy-fun, and the view was unbeatable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and the beds were quite comfortable!
We hope to make this an annual tradition and stay again closer to summer so we can take advantage of the many toys/boats that come with the place.
This place is lovely. We had a fairly short stay on rainy days, but the place was comfortable, clean & cozy. We were able to see a bald eagle up close which was really cool! We would love to come back in the summer when the weather is nice. The lake looked clean & like it would be great fun in nice weather.
Quaint little cabin in a pretty environment. It was fun watching the water skiers from the deck. Hot tub was lovely, beds were comfortable, kitchen was clean. Everything as advertised.
Our families enjoyed staying at thr lakehouse and loved the easy access to the lake and made food use fo the kayaks and splash pad. The house was very cozy but in a bit of disrepair in areas. The musty smell in thr bunk room was very strong, even to our kids, and is not somewhere i would want them to stay again which is unfortunate because the room itself was perfectly setup. There were also a lot of yellow jackets around the deck and yard that prevented us from eating outside.
Property was great on a hot Seattle Summer weekend. So well stocked-- kayaks, paddle board, many floaties -- the kitchen was really stocked as well. Deck and hottub overlooking lake was great.
This is a fantastic place to have kids and grandkids come and enjoy the lake and spend the night. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, barbecuing. We have now stayed here for 2 weeks each of the last 3 summers. Idyllic.
Overall the place was amazing. We had the best time playing with all the water toys and enjoying the beautiful lake. Plenty of room for everyone and it was super cozy. There were dishes left in the dishwasher that we had to put away, but other than that everything was perfect. The place was very clean and had a nice home feel to it. Wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be back!
Great place to relax and get in some water activity. Our family had a great time here. Has a dock for your boat/jet ski and you have access to paddle boards and kayaks furnished with the rental. Plenty of space/parking.
Beautiful and peaceful location, great for a relaxing getaway.

Why they chose this property
This property features many things to do without leaving, but if you need too everything you could possibly want is close at hand. The house was built in 1955, it is a Padabone log home (similar to Lindal Cedar Homes), it has lots of original charm and Mid Century feel. It is close enough to Seattle but far enough away to be removed from the stress and noise. The lake warms up fast in the summer and the swimming is fantastic. The lake is stocked with trout each year so the fishing is great. Have an incredible shopping experience at the Seattle Premium Outlet mall that has over 120 well-known outlet stores. Eat dine out and enjoy a night of fun at Tulalip Resort Casino. Both are a short 15 minute drive from our lake house. Near Warm Beach in Stanwood, WA. Take a day trip to Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Only 2 hours away. Enjoy the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in April.
What makes this property unique
An 11 foot boat, 6 person spa,, 2 kayaks, 3 SUP, and inflatable water toys are all standard. No bank waterfront makes it ideal for kids and pets of all ages. The water is warm enough to swim early in the season due to the relatively shallow depth. Much more quiet and private than it's sister Lake Goodwin. Large deck with a new hot tub and large dock to fish from. The lake is stocked with trout every year.
