We really enjoyed this cute little house. It was clean nice we had coffee all sorts of teas and cold drinks in the fridge. We can definitely tell you to come and stay here. The drive to downtown Seattle was good around 30 minutes and at night 20 minutes. It was also very secure so we could leave our bikes without problems.

We enjoyed our time in the little lake cottage. It is very private even though it is amongst some larger homes. We felt very safe as it was in a small gated part of the neighborhood. There is one parking spot provided right next to the cottage. It is quite clean and well stocked with all necessities and includes a small washer/dryer combo unit and window a/c units both upstairs and downstairs. The private dock is a nice place to take in the sunsets and watch the wildlife. There is easy access to a walking path and a nice beach park within a quarter mile. The owner is quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. We stayed 4 weeks and got to know our way around the area pretty well. There are many options for experiencing the various cities and nature areas close by and having the cottage as our home base was perfect. We definitely would stay here again.

A little house on the lake was the perfect getaway that me and my wife needed. Owners were very accommodating. The house was very clean. We spent our afternoons on the porch taking in the breathtaking views of Lake Washington. We can’t wait to come back.

The little house is perfect. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake and watching the resident eagles. Mary was very helpful answering any questions we had. House is equipped with everything you'd need and very clean! Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.
My one suggestion is if you want to sleep later than dawn you'll need to have a sleep mask. The great skylights bring in alot of light.

Lovely lake front house
I loved this property location. Quiet and right on the lake. Use of the boat launch and dock meant hours of great paddleboarding and eagle watching! Also the running-bike trail is super close by ! Just a great place with all the amenities for a lake getaway!

Lovely peaceful stay, a rural feeling haven in a convenient urban area. Sweet, simple and well outfitted. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the lapping water of the lake, the rain on the roof, and the amazing birdsong. It was a wonderful, restful and rejuvenating weekend.

Nice property, has everything in the house that you might need. Can't feel any major difference that we left home to stay in another rented place.

A great lake getaway
This property was a fantastic spot for a quick getaway. Excellent location on the lake & the nearby walking/cycling trail. We loved watching the wildlife from the deck: eagles, turtles, herons, bunnies, and more. It was very quiet and peaceful. We had easy access to float in the water from the boat ramp right there.
The place was well stocked. Lots of pots and pans. Toiletries. Linens for the bath & the beach. And nice touches like binoculars to watch the wildlife or an extension cord to make it easier to plug in electronics to charge.
We were very grateful that the owner was well prepared for wildfire season: the two air conditioners and filter worked great during the heat and smoke. We loved that when it cooled off after sunset, we could open the front and rear doors to get a fantastic cross breeze. We did need to keep the A/C running in order to cool the loft (one window is blocked by the A/C, so you can't get much of a cross breeze going up there). We stayed in several hotels during this trip which didn't have such good ventilation & cooling! There also are shades on the front deck and tilt wood blinds in the windows, which help keep the little house cool.
One thing we hadn't noted: the loft bedroom gets very bright very early. Bring eye masks if you want to sleep past sunrise. There are no blinds over the magnificent skylights.
The directions were great. Parking was easy. We texted a bit with the owner. Unfortunately, early communication with the host was plagued by VRBO issues. I sent a long email introduction which never reached her, which almost caused us to lose the reservation. Make sure you phone if you don't hear back! This property is worth it.

Beautiful cottage on the lake
It was a great place to stay! Very quiet and very safe because there’s a gate to enter the neighborhood as well. The owner was easy to contact with questions. The location is so close to the airport, downtown Bellevue, and Seattle!

This was one of the most charming places I have ever stayed. It was beautifully maintained. This property has the most incredible view. Every morning I was greeted with the local eagle and waterfowl. If you want to open the bedroom window at night, you will be lulled to sleep by the lapping of water from Lake Washington. If you are a yogi like me, enjoy doing yoga in the bedroom loft with 3 beautiful sky lights - best yoga studio around! The house is so convenient to stores and highways yet perfectly sheltered at the same time. Morning walk? No problem, the house is a stone throw from the a walking path around Lake Washington.

Beautiful, cozy couples retreat
Was everything listed & more. The awesome little tree growing against the house had me from first sight! We arrived to a super clean, everything we needed house, with flowers & treats from the very helpful, informative owners. Then it got even better to be able to enjoy the numerous bald eagles perched on the pole by the water & soaring around, the beautiful flowers & berries growing all around the house & the walking path right by the house! All around great little house to stay at & we'll be back when we can!

Quaint and Cozy
The Little House on the Lake worked great for the two of us. The owner checked with us both by email and text and was very helpful/accommodating to our questions/needs. Very clean property and beautiful sunsets across the lake. Safe area with a walking path nearby along the lake. Very much enjoyed our stay!

Great “little house”
The property was as advertised. The front porch that was directly on Lake Washington was a hi light. There were ducks, geese, and eagles close to the property. It was a great experience. Also the property was very clean and well maintained.

Charming, safe, unique
Loved my stay, close to family and friends. Serene setting, sat on the front porch and enjoyed the view at all hours ! Even in the pouring down rain!!! Sound of waves lapping on the shore were soothing and loved watching the eagle perch on the light post! Would love to stay there again! Communication with Mary was great and felt right at home! Thank you for sharing your sweet cottage with me!
