Property Description
A quiet retreat in the woods, on the shore of Ames Lake. Watch eagles and osprey with your morning coffee. Toast marshmallows on the beach after dark. Close to Redmond, Seattle and the mountains, this peaceful apartment offers a full, well-supplied kitchen, laundry facilities and comfortable beds. You'll find destination Mountain Bike trails just up the road. Excellent restaurants a quick drive away. And one of King County's most pristine lakes just down the stairs. Pets welcome. No smoking. This peaceful getaway is the huge downstairs apartment in the house our family has lived in for over 50 years. It's a self-contained unit, with a full, well-supplied kitchen, laundry facilities, very comfortable beds, privacy and quiet. Please note: This property is not appropriate for people with pet allergies or asthma, as the house has been lived in for 60 years, and many animals have lived here and visited. It is also not appropriate for people who smoke, inside or out. This is the only property we own. We're a family. Not a corporation renting out hundreds of homes. We welcome you as our guests.About pets:Pets allowed: dogs (limit 2 total).Please let me know if you are bringing pets..About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.No smoking or vaping allowed anywhere on property.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:No events allowed.Advance notice required, possible additional fees..

This place is really awesome. The owner was very helpful. The lake was clean and the property provided life jackets, a paddle boat and had a boat for rent. We spent a week and and would go back again. Just a few things- nothing negative just be aware you will need some good backing skills for the driveway. It’s totally doable but for our big SUV, it was a little tight. And- if you plan to spend some time and use this as a base camp- please do yourself a favor and plan at least one lake day. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and the doc area that’s provided has a place for campfire hotdogs and smores.

Great location on the lake and well located for the wedding we were attending in Monroe. Reasonably well equipped kitchen. For 4 or more only 1 bathroom can lead to a queue but it’s hardly a major issue. 6 nights. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good location, great host but the property is dated The good: Great location- right on a beautiful lake. The host provides access to boats. Kim is very helpful, and easy to reach. The house is in a nice little community- good place to relax with family/friends, hike, boat, etc. The appliances seemed to be working fine. There was hot water. The not so good: The property is very old with a weird layout. There is unsecured storage area in one side of the property. Everything in the house is very dated. The written instructions by owner for sleeper couch literally said it can slice through sheets. Coffee mugs were dirty. No dishwasher.

PERFECT FOR 2 OR A FAMILY OF 8 OR MORE My daughters family came to visit. . . We had room for my partner and I, daughter, son in law and grand daughter and visiting other family members. Beds, dining, kitchen, games, TV, fireplace, boats, dock, firepit. . . . all add up to an awesome time to enjoy each other!

Perfect We loved our stay. The house is very comfortable, quiet and private. Access is very easy, thanks to Kim's precise instructions. The location is incredible, with the lake just a few meters away. We'd love to live here!

Great stay! Kim has great communication. We arrived really late and in the dark and there was some confusion on our part of a locked door (figured out later it was locked on the outside but not inside) and Kim came out and helped us get in. She’s a gem! The basement apartment is dated but it reminded me of staying at a family’s home. For what it is and where it’s at, it’s pretty great. The little lake adds to the charm.
