🌟🏡 Perfect Family Retreat by the Lake! 🚣‍♀️ We had a great stay at this incredible property in a serene Seattle suburb! As a family of 5 with young kids, we were looking for a family-friendly place for our trip. This home exceeded our expectations! The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a meticulously maintained property. The attention to detail was evident, creating an inviting atmosphere making us feel right at home. The fridge was even stocked with refreshing drinks, a gesture we truly appreciated. The highlight for our kids was the access to kayaks, canoes, & life vests. They had a blast exploring the tranquil lake right from the backyard. Unforgettable memories! The spacious backyard, with a swing set, was a haven for our little ones. They happily played while we relaxed on the patio, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The location was ideal, providing the best of both worlds. The secluded vibe struck the perfect balance between privacy & convenience, offering a serene escape. Quick access (30 – 45 min) to several city attractions. We had an unforgettable experience, & highly recommend this property. Whether you're planning a family vacation or rejuvenating retreat, this home is perfect. We left with cherished memories & a strong desire to return in the future. The owners were responsive & went above & beyond to ensure our comfort. Thanks Thai for creating such a haven & exceptional hospitality. Our stay was nothing short of perfect; can't wait to visit again!

We had a superb visit with perfect weather at the Lakehouse. Wonderful outdoor spaces to relax on the large porch, play Bags (cornhole), toss the frisbee and kick the soccer ball. 4 Kayaks, 2 Paddle Boards and a canoe allowed everyone to explore, fish and swim in Lake Desire. Wonderfully quiet. (No jet skis or motor boats.) Thai was very helpful and accommodating and very easy to reach.

I stayed here with my husband and 2 young children (5 and almost 3). The property is in a nice neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac. The yard is fenced in which was great for the kids to run around. The property has a lovely view of the lake. The house has a few different bedrooms that would accommodate various sleeping arrangements. It was clean and well-kept. Thai was a very attentive host and kept in communication with us to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Would stay again!

Exceptionally clean house. Zoned heating, beautiful lake views. Large Deck, BBQ, large yard. Wonderful boathouse stocked with fun and a nice dock with a bench at the end. No city or car noise- VERY QUIET!!! Comfortable beds and linen. What a hidden gem. Welcome basket and clear directions and communications with owner. The owner made clear were available for anything. Pictures accurate. So relaxing. Easy access to shopping, local restaurants, and to airport/highways. Communication with the owner was exceptional, but communication with Evolve was a little less so. The owner stepped in to clear up Evolve miscommunications....Wonderful. Evolve I would give a lower star review, but the owners and home deserve for sure 5+ stars.

This property is very quiet, peaceful, exceptionally clean, and has all amenities (and more). We only used two of the 4 bedrooms, and both were lovely. The owners had amazing communication and were clearly available for absolutely any need and ensured our stay was perfect. Enjoyed the welcome basket too! The big deck/ yard was as pictured, boat house was stocked with fun lake things (all listed in the listing). Just can't say enough about the property. Easy access. NO CAR/CITY NOISES at all. Good heat if needed, zoned.

This property was a real nice place to stay on the lake. The lake was great, but the best part was the customer service from the owner. He was super attentive and very communicative. He let us check in early and check out late and ensured we have a bottle of champagne, water, and snacks waiting for us upon our arrival. Wish they were all like him

Our group loved this location. The host was friendly, proactive, and responsive via text. With lots of room, our group was able to spread out and relax, despite us having 10 people. Everything was clean upon arrival. Checkin / checkout was a breeze. The lake was beautiful, with warm water and not too many bugs. The kayaks were a lovely treat.

This house is fantastic, better than the pictures! The dock to the lake, the paddle boards, the life jackets, the kayaks, and the paddles are all new and extremely clean. The owners respond to any question immediately. The beds are comfy and there are plenty of nice places to sleep and relax.

We had the best time at the Lake House! When I first opened the door I thought, "the pictures just didn't do this place justice!" The property manager made everything seamless (and also let us check in early). The yard and the lake were gorgeous. Having a canoe, paddleboards, and kayaks on the property were so convenient, not to mention in perfect working order. The toddler in our party enjoyed -- well, everything -- the swings and slide, and we loved knowing that he was safe to play in the yard thanks to the fences. There was ample room for five adults and one toddler. I almost forgot to mention how much we appreciated having so many towels (and how beautifully they were presented), extra toilet paper and paper towels. All the appliances worked without a hitch, including the grill. We would recommend staying here to all of our friends and family. Thanks for a beautiful weekend!

Lots of lake toys and great water. Host was awesome and setup was very good for a big family.

Myself and my family had a wonderful time at this Lake House. It was accommodating for all of us, for the younger ones to the older family members and It was definitely a bonus to have the kayaks, paddleboards and canoe, fishing rods and games for us to play. The hosts Thai and Hanh went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. We were presently surprised with snacks and drinks on our arrival. They made sure we were always stocked/ plenty of towels, all the basic supplies and made sure we never ran out of bottle water. The house was very clean with fresh linens. Location was private away from all the traffic but an easy commute into the city to see all the major attractions like the Space Needle. Would definitely recommend this vacation rental and really appreciated the attentiveness of the host.

One of the best rentals I've stayed at to date. This home is just as beautiful as the pictures, if not more so. The backyard and its access to the lake is the best feature of this property. We were able to kayak and fish which was relaxing and wonderful after spending a long day visiting Seattle and Bellevue. Another great aspect of the home. It's only 25-30 minutes away from either city. A lot of other rentals in the area were smaller, more expensive, or didn't have any features that made them worth staying at. The home is stocked with several kayaks, a canoe, paddle board and an abundance of life jackets. I hadn't thought parking was going to be a plus, but this property has a large private parking area down a fairly private road. Our family brought five cars out of six allowed and it was still very spacious parking. Thai - the property manager/owner was extremely attentive to our needs and requests. He catered our care package uniquely and prepped the house prior to our arrival. When we requested an additional day to our stay he was able to block out the day and give us direct contact to the booking services. He also left fishing poles when we inquired about recreational fishing. I would like to mention this is an older renovated wood built home, and although this is part of the cute charm of the home it hasn't been retrofitted with central climate control. We went during a cool summer weekend, so we didn't need the wood stove, heaters or fans that were provided. Be mindful if you book during the dead of winter or during a heat wave as we can not give full input on how the home handles, but with a great host like Thai you can be certain he will try to accommodate you. To summarize, Yes, we would 100% be renting here again without hesitation and, Yes, I would recommend this home to any who wish to stay at a reasonably priced gem of a getaway home near the city of Seattle and Bellevue.

When we requested an additional day to our stay he was able to block out the day and give us direct contact to the booking services. He also left fishing poles when we inquired about recreational fishing. This home itself was able to fit four couples in our family comfortably, with most rooms giving adequate privacy even with additional singles. I would like to mention this is an older renovated wood built home, and although this is part of the cute charm of the home the noise can be somewhat transparent throughout the home. This wasn't a problem for us since our family has small children (We expect noise). Again this home is older built, and it hasn't been retrofitted with central climate control.

We love this place! My kids loved all the cool rooms and the games available. The view and the space itself was relaxing and perfect for our little getaway. It is very homey (cozy) but spacious. The hosts are very accommodating and responsive to our requests and we are extremely grateful for that. Amenities were a short drive away. We look forward to our next stay!

Simplify amazing place to host us for our friend weeding. We had an amazing time. If you are looking to stay while coming down in town it’s the best place.
