THIS waterfront cottage style home is located in a wooded setting on a rectangular lot that spans a long sloping hill overlooking our private lakefront. You don't have to cross the street but you do have to walk down our paved driveway to get there-- sturdy knees required! The home offers a commanding view of the lake that gives you terrific sunrises and sunsets and makes you feel you are nested in your own private retreat! This 2,400 sf home opens to a great room with floor-to-ceiling windows and there are views from nearly every window.

On the main entry level floor, we also have 1 full sofa-bed with a 4" memory foam mattress and our extra wide reading chair pulls out to create twin bed. Portacrib and high chair upon request. Please note that stairs are open backed and oriented in a way that makes them difficult to block off to kids. There is a step up to the kitchen and a step down to the family room. The deck overhangs our hillside and the yard is not fenced. Most kids are fine but you have to watch them closely. The parking area is packed gravel and there is room for 2 cars. There is room for 1 car at the waterfront if you pull up close to the hedge. Swim, fish, kayak or just hangout at our waterfront area just below the house.

We co-own the dock with our neighbor and they use the south side of the dock where they have a boat lift. We offer the north side of the dock for our guests' use. The end of the dock must remain open for loading. The waterfront area is fenced and our guests are welcome to hang out there-- we have a level deck and grassy area, dining table and lounge chairs. We also have a double kayak for your use. More kayaks available in summer from Issaquah Paddle Club at the south end of Lake Samm. Note, we do not have a sandy beach that you can walk into. Our land sits above the lake a few feet. But there is sandy beach and kid playground at Idylwood Park just 1 mile north of us. Weona Park and Sunrise Park are 2 trailheads right off W.

Our family (4 teens, 2 adults) stayed here in December as a home base for exploring Seattle and surrounding areas. It was absolutely wonderful in so many ways. The home itself is delightful! Stunning lake views from most rooms as well as a huge balcony, all needed amenities, lots of room to gather and spread out. It’s an older home, but this added to the charm. The dock is an added bonus that we probably would have used more in summer but was still fun to have. The only difficulty is the very steep driveway/parking spot but once you’ve done it a few times, you get the hang of it. Lisa was very easy to communicate with and graciously allowed us a late check out. The location was easy to access DT Seattle, ferries, university village, and some hiking. Overall a wonderful, relaxing stay!

Everything was wonderful. Lisa is a great communicator and thoughtful hostess. The home is very clean and lovely. It is an amazing home to hang out and wake up in. We would absolutely stay again and recommend others.

If you are into an older home with some style and quirkiness like we are, you'll love it here. Fun layout including 2 loft rooms 2 living rooms and great deck overlooking the lake. The driveway is a steep, turning, paved snake that will test your skills if you have more than a Prius! Once you've tamed that a couple times, it's all good! Gave 4 stars due to driveway access and could use some fabric cleaning on furniture. Would certainly book again!

Perfect home for our stay! It was clean, well stocked, and the perfect layout for the three of us to have time together and space to be alone. What a beautiful view of the sunrise each morning. Great find! Thank you Lisa!

We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

We had a challenge to find a great place to stay with 5 teens and 3 adults coming at various times. This house had a perfect amount of bedrooms and sleeping options for our group. The kitchen had a lot of options for cooking. (made me with I had some thing for the crab pot!) The view was incredible and we all had fun swimming in the lake and watching the eagles fly by.
It was an easy trip to downtown by car, but we also made use of the close by Eastgate Park and Ride to get to/from a concert at Lumen Stadium. The host was very ice and available for questions and the guest book was very clear. I would highly recommend!

We loved our stay and enjoyed time on the lake, views from the deck and the cozy, cute home!

This house is even better in person! The views from the upstairs bedrooms/lofts early in the morning are breathtaking and amazing to wake up to. The downstairs bedroom is the only one with a "door," but there was plenty of privacy for those that slept in the loft bedrooms.
The linens and towels were fresh and clean and just lovely to use. The kitchen had just about every type of pot/pan you could ever need. They provided 2 small coolers that we found very helpful when packing sandwiches and drinks to take down to the lakefront.
The driveway is NO JOKE! It's steep and narrow but manageable. "Not for weak knees" is a true statement.
We had a 5 year old and 12 year old so they swam almost every day. The only entry into the water is at the end of the dock (jump in or use the ladder) but the water was clean and refreshing in early July.
Lisa was amazing! No question was too silly and she was very helpful when needed. We would be honored to stay here again.

Our family of 6 stayed in June for our daughter's graduation. Such a comfortable home! Lisa was easy to reach & very accommodating. She supplied us with an extra, full propane tank for the grill and extra serving bowls and tongs for our grad party we hosted for 16 people. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could imagine - toaster, crock pot, griddle, blender, Keurig, regular drip coffee pot, plenty of covered microwaveable dishes, baking sheets, plenty of wine glasses and plates/bowls/flatware, even foil, plastic wrap, oils - just everything! Loved the sharp knife set. We could have spent all day out on the deck with the gorgeous, nearly 180' views of the lake. The outdoor dining table was great and had very comfortable chairs. Bald eagles were numerous and fun to watch! The two living areas were both very nice, and both faced the lake. As far as the bedroom/bathroom layout goes - We had two daughters in the queen bedroom downstairs near the kitchen with an ensuite bathroom. Husband and I stayed right above in the upstairs lofted bedroom with another ensuite bath. This bedroom is open to the living room with TV downstairs, and to the lake views thru the A frame windows in the living room. June morning sun came in early, so we put our pillows at the foot of the bed to avoid the direct morning light. Two daughters stayed in the other lofted bedroom above the family room, with queen bed and twin bed at opposites ends of the room, with a full bath at base of stairs.

Good communication from property manager. We really appreciated her description of the parking situation as we were driving a huge pickup truck and the driveway was much easier to navigate with her specific directions. The location/neighborhood was really great. We enjoyed a quick dip and kayak in the lake. House was clean and comfortable.
Sometimes I can’t figure out rooms/bathrooms on VRBO listings so for our family- there were two loft areas. One had an en-suite bathroom with tub (the only tub) and bed. That’s where the parents slept for us. Another big bed with an attached bathroom right below, our daughter took this suite. And then across the house in the other loft, we put our two boys. There are two beds. A big one and like a twin daybed. The boys used the bathroom right down the stairs from their loft. There was a lot of room.

This is a magical place. The house has stunning views of the lake and a large deck spanning the front of the property. Then, there’s a short walk (45 seconds or so) down to a lakeside area with a double kayak, deck chairs and a table and chairs. You can sunbathe, swim off the dock, and take a paddle in the kayak. Breathtaking location.

The place looked better than we expected. Beautiful porch overlooking the lake, very nice neighborhood. All areas of the house has a lake view. Awesome place! Hopefully we can go back one day. Thanks Lisa!

Very restful and has all the comforts of home. The views of the lake are outstanding. Plenty of room to relax and read or watch tv. Lisa was very accommodating and easy to get ahold of.
Parking is a bit cramped but works for 2 cars.
5.0
The space is simply beautiful and view can't be beat. The building is older so it can be quite drafty in the winter. However the hosts provide many heating sources and we were nice and toasty! We had several minor needs regarding check in and check out and Lisa was SO accommodating. The stay was for business but I look forward to a visit in the summer for pleasure!

My family and I traveled to Seattle for a week and loved this property. It was so easy to get downtown for appointments or to explore, and then we got to relax and unwind in the tranquility of this property. Lisa communicated everything we needed to know, and was easy to contact. The property is clean, well appointed, and comfortable. I especially appreciated how nice the beds are.
The setting and access to the lake are fabulous.

We were seriously sad to depart this property today. It is big (for 2 people), has a gorgeous view of the lake, and was nice and quiet. The beds were shockingly comfortable, too! The only thing to be aware of is the driveway is a bit steep and can be challenging for larger vehicles.

This house was great and we loved staying there! The host was awesome and very helpful too.

We, a group of graduate students from UT Austin, stayed here to save some money on housing for the duration of our conference. It was a lovely home with plenty of space for the 6 of us, comfy beds and couches, and simply the most spectacular view. Every person staying in the fancy hotel hosting the conference was envious of our housing choice. Engineers from all over the world were jealous of this find, and other members of our lab wanted to cancel their hotel reservations to join us. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this property. We will never forget our time here.

Wonderful views of lake nice beach area. Loved being back in Sammamish and on the lake. House is open and deck is perfect for lake views. Beach area is well maintained and great spot for picnic, sunbathing or heading out on paddle boards! Owner is very responsive and will definitely try to rent again. Thanks!

Wow, what a beautiful stay and residence. The house/cabin lake front location, interior design, views, amenities, everything was perfect. I am not one to give glowing reviews but my wife and I simply could not find anything negative to say. Lisa was very responsive to our few requests. And she has done an outstanding job designing the interior with the white walls and furniture, pastel light blues and lake/nautical features. Highlights include for sure access to the boat dock and swimming in the lake, BBQs on the deck, watching the moon rise over the lake, and morning sunrise into the large cabin windows We for sure will be coming back soon.

What a joy to meet Lisa and be able to stay in her hillside home on the Lake. Comfortable furnishings with all the right touches for a home away from home. High quality beds and linens. Snuggle comfort blankets and tons of cushions on sofas and beds.
What an incredible retreat to stay here as the world started to sucumb to the coronavirus pandemic.
This is a home that will become an annual destination for myself and my family.
Thank you Lisa for going above and beyond in a crazy time.

We had a wonderful time! Lisa was very responsive to any questions we had. The view is amazing, the house has lots of room, if it was warmer, we would have definitely spent more time on the deck! Thank you, Lisa!

We were happy with the house. The steep driveway is tricky, but we managed okay! Comfortable home with plenty of room for our group of six adults, a baby, and a dog. Beautiful lake, and easy access into Seattle or to other locations. And Lisa was very responsive to whatever we needed.

Even in Dec, the view is fabulous. We came prepared for the winter and rainy weather. The house itself is well maintained and clean. Plenty of space for our group of 5. Kid friendly as well.Great water pressure, comfy bed and linens, extra towels and blankets galore.As noted in the listing, parking has instructions. Follow them and you’ll be fine; even with a mini van. Definitely easier with a backup camera. I do recommend being comfortable driving down a steep driveway and low light at night — not recommended for weary drivers.Highly recommend this house overall. The host, Lisa, was also flexible and easy to reach for quick questions.
