Beautiful setting on a lake.

This was our second time at the property. We go over Thanksgiving to be with our daughter and family that live close by. We are from the East Coast. We love the fact that it is close to our daughter’s house. The layout of the cottage is perfect for us. Kitchen is well stocked. Unfortunately we never have been there in the summer so can’t avail ourselves to the outdoor activities. We do hike the trail very near and played pickleball. Love Koi Cottage!!

I highly recommend this property. Very sweet cabin, beautiful views. We will be coming back for sure! Maply Valley is a wonderful community, close to Seattle but feels far away.

View was beautiful

Peaceful and beautiful location, and a cozy cabin. My husband and I stayed at the Koi Story Cabin for a weekend away from our kids. This property is a pretty short drive from the Seattle area, but it feels secluded. We found the cabin to be very comfortable and clean, and absolutely loved the views of the lake, especially from the dining room with all of its windows. Would recommend!

We checked in on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving for an 8-night stay. The cabin was spacious for 2 and had all the amenities you'd need. It was near sunset, so we did not get a good view of the lake. The next morning, we were stunned by the view from the dining room (which was a fully enclosed glass room off the living room). The property is set on a hillside with two levels for seating. As it was cold, we did not take advantage of the hammock or fire pit. In season, they have two sit-on kayaks and a motorized platform/floating dock section that you can use to cruise the lake. The caretakers told us about the steps up to the greenway/rail trail. This trail runs for miles through the woods and connects to a path through the arboretum. In the other direction, it is about a mile walk to a shopping center with a grocery store, a drug store and a pharmacy. There are 3 mountain bikes available for use. The internet service is fine. There is a TV over the fireplace with many streaming channels. The fireplace had a remote control can be used to control the room temperature thermostatically. The is baseboard electric heat in the bedroom and wall mounted thermostatically control heaters in the bathroom and sitting room of the kitchen. We were quite comfortable in the cabin even when the temperatures dipped below freezing at night. If we come back to the area, we would definitely check the availability of Koi Cabin before booking something else.

Elena was very responsive. The housekeepers live right there and helped us with our bags and showed us the kayaks and mountain bikes. We ate dinner on the dock at the lake and ended the evening with a fire and a movie. We enjoyed being able to unwind and relax after a busy week. Very picturesque and very nice. Highly recommend.

This was a lovely place! Great for two people.
