And in case you are traveling, we have a 1 bedroom place in Girdwood, Alaska, a 3 bedroom home in Kihei, Maui along with a 2 bedroom condo right in the village at Whistler, BC Canada-- and we rent them all! Some have long term guests who stay 3 to 6 months or more so just ask about them and we'll let you know. 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. Lounge inside in front of the fireplace on a rainy/wintery day, relax on the deck lounger or fix a BBQ dinner in our large gas grill. The living room has plenty of seating for chatting, games, watching TV. The family room has a desk, large reading chair and sofa as a 2nd gathering area. The kitchen is open to the dining room and the table has an extension for larger meals. We have 3 bedrooms with queen beds and 2 of these bedrooms have have adjoining bathrooms. The bathrooms are small- one has a tub/shower and the other 2 have showers only. One is upstairs, one is on the main entry level. The 3rd queen bedroom is upstairs and also has a trundle bed that opens to offer 2 additional twin mattresses best suited for teens. 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. Otters, Blue Heron and Eagles are frequently seen by our guests. You can swim off our dock--there is a swim ladder at the end. 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. Lake Sammamish Parkway where you can walk in the woods real close to the house. Marymoor Dog Park offers 50 acres of off-leash woods & trails within an easy 5 minute drive.
