Lakefront- fenced - no animal- allergies

Come to experience a luxurious stay on a beautiful lakefront home with own beach and dock. The lake
is fresh, clear, and clean with lots of fish for fishing activity on your own private dock. Swimming is also one of the favorite activities while staying at the house. A 3-person paddle boat is provided free-of-charge for your enjoyment. The house is within walking distant to a beautiful, green, and well maintained park with swimming area and large playground for the children.
You will find two bedrooms, a private bath with a spacious kitchen, complete with dining room and living room, both with the lake view. A
private laundry room with large size washer and dryer. Living room is
furnished with 2 configurable couches. Walk out your living room to a large deck to enjoy the fresh breeze and the view of the lake. Outdoor gas grill is provided for bbq and gather cooking. There is a fire pit on private beach
for a bonfire evening with friends, family, or business associates.
For leisure travelers, we are in the heart of the city with endless activities/attractions in or
nearby cities; i.e. golf, skiing, ice skating, water activities, mountain activities, city
activities, theme parks, etc... Or you could just sit in the deck or on the dock, reading books, and
enjoy the green beautiful view and the fresh breeze that the lake provides.
For business travelers, we are also very close to big corporations such as Weyerhaeuser, Boeing,
Alaska Air, etc.. Come and stay as a warm and cozy home away from home while attending businesses.
We are just fifteen minutes south from Sea-Tac airport, and 20 minutes from downtown Seattle or
downtown Tacoma. Close to numerous attractions, or secluded enough to just relax and enjoy the view
and activities on the awesome lake for a few days - especially the magnificent sunset. More
pictures will be sent upon request.
There are 2 exterior - outside the house - camera at the entrance door to the house. One point toward the parking area - inside the gate, and one point at platform in front of the door. There is no camera inside the house nor point toward inside the house. Shared dock, paddle boats, and kayak with next house’s Guests.

Our overall stay was great. The property was clean (except for the windows) and had everything we needed and is in a great location. The pictures are a bit deceiving, the outside of the property looks nothing like the pictures and could use quite a bit of updating. Kathy was very kind and responsive to all messages.

Spain, California and Arizona is where we 3 arrived from to visit our old stomping grounds. What a delightful stay we enjoyed on Steele Lake. This little hideaway is centrally located to all the beautiful people, places and things we had in mind. Wonderful Host as well. ⭐️ Beautiful views and grounds too🤩

A cozy and clean waterfront home
The home was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is beautiful and feels private while still being near shopping and entertainment. We were here for a swim meet at the Weyerhaeuser Aquatic Center and the house was a nice short drive away.

When you look for a place to unwind, clear your head and rejuvenate this is the exact place you need to be. The home can be used for both families and individual travellers with is perfect flexibility. Kathy was super friendly and always communicating to ensure I was comfortable during the entire stay. She is such a warm soul and a joy to be around. The place is clean and offers a lot of privacy for those seeking a getaway. There were also some outdoor activity options that one can indulge in. I have definitely found a gem that I can call home for many more visits to come. I would highly recommend it without doubt.

I’ve been fortunate and have done a lot of traveling in the past 20 years. This is an amazing hideaway with lots of parking and easy access to shopping. Plus it’s absolutely as beautiful as the picture I couldn’t be happier. My host was wonderful and checked up on us to make sure things were good. Thank you, Kathy! I hope to stay again soon.

I was thrilled to find a location close to my sister’s house. It was a perfect size for the two of us. Making meals didn’t require buying extra of anything because it was so well stocked with ingredients (mustard, olive oil etc.). The view of the lake was just as pictured. This may be my home away for next year when I visit.

cute little getaway
The owner (Kathy) was super responsive when we had any questions. Had almost ever thing we needed for supplies, kitchen, linens and bathroom. It was a great home base for our Seattle/Tacoma Vacation. The only complaints I have is the lake on our side isn't swimmable (very weedy and muddy). However drive 5 minutes or use the provided pedal boat or kayak and get to a nice swim area with a giant playground. The master bed was not very comfortable. The twin beds and the couches were better.

Horrid Stay
Kathy & I spoke by phone before I booked her Vrbo. I told her it was my 79th birthday gift to myself & that I wanted to walk out of the house & into the lake numerous times a day. A photo shows a nice set of stone steps going from the house to the beach. There were no steps. There was a long & fairly steep cement ramp with a rickety rail. When I got to the bottom of the ramp there was a rock & a cement block piled together. I moved each to keep my balance. Getting into the lake was horrid. Luckily, I brought swim shoes. I walked to the dock so I would have something to hang onto. I walked in muck over my knees to get into deeper water. I would never have rented the house had I known how difficult it was to get in the lake. No beach towels. All the plants & lawn were dead & dry as a bone. Not like photos. The bedrooms were terribly noisy from road traffic. I rented the house from Tuesday & out Saturday. I swam Tuesday, left & went back Friday to get my swimsuit, beach towel etc. No cleaning needed except perhaps sweep the floor. I wrote Kathy & explained my complaints & asked her not to respond & she didn’t. In every negative review no problem was ever her fault. I literally threw $1,500.00 in the garbage. My decision but because the difficulty getting in & out of the lake. I was there less than three hours total. Stay at the Comfort Inn where there is a pool & go to Steel Lake Park. It is a piece of cake to get in the lake.

Great House, horrible beds
The house and location is very nice. I asked before making a reservation on comfort of beds since I didn’t see anything on beds in any reviews. The beds are very hard and squeaky. This might be comfortable to the owner but for our family we are not used to hard beds. We slept on the futon’s as they was more comfortable than the beds.
