Summer Retreat on the lake w/great WiFi & close to I5 for exploring Northwest

Beautiful open floor plan home with views of the lake from every room. Nestled in the trees overlooking the lake. Your own private dock with kayaks provided. This well stocked lake is great for fishing, boating and swimming. Very quiet and private. Beautiful sunsets and lots of wildlife. Located at the end of a dead end street.
The custom front door opens up to provide a gorgeous view of the lake through a wall of glass; beautifully crafted cathedral ceiling with exposed beams and an expansive staircase that leads to the main bedroom in the loft.
The bedroom has plenty of closet space, and a very comfortable Queen-size bed. Looking out over the hand-crafted railing, you'll enjoy a view of the stunning river rock fireplace, spacious living room and kitchen area, as well as a spectacular view of Lake St. Clair.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a gas range, electric oven, microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, refrigerator and dishwasher.
The living room offers two comfy couches, smart TV and a rock wall fireplace.
The heated flooring make both the granite flooring in the living room and the wood flooring in the kitchen feel quite warm and cozy. For the Summer there is Air Conditioning but you probably won't need it. There is a wonderful breeze from the lake.
The bathroom has a jetted jacuzzi bathtub with dual shower heads and built-in seat. There's also a washer/dryer for your convenience.
The downstairs bedroom, which is off of the living room, offers twin beds and very comfortable bedding.
Cobblestone patio for outside entertaining with views of the lake. A gas BBQ is provided. Or walk down the steep path to the lake and take the kayaks out for a tour of the lake or sit on the dock and enjoy watching the wildlife. Clean water, great for swimming. Very convenient to Joint Base Lewis McChord. Also good for temporary housing. 20 minutes from the north gate to Joint Base Lewis McChord or The Capitol building in Olympia. Ask about our low, long term rates.
RSE - Yelm: Just 15 minutes from the School. Comfortable, safe, beautiful place to stay during your visit to Yelm.
Olympia - Lobbyists, Legislators?: Need to come to the capitol? Make this your favorite place to stay. Olympia has some great restaurants right on South Puget sound.
Red Wind Casino is a great place to eat and only 4 miles from the lakehouse. They a cafe and a fancy restaurant. Lots of slot machines, card tables and keno. Great senior discounts.
Only 40 miles to Mt Rainier National Park. Drive to the glaciers at the top! Beautiful views and great hikes.
Check out the Billy Frank Nisqually Park just 15 miles away. There are miles and miles of trails through the south end of Puget Sound estuaries.
There are quite a few public golf courses nearby in Yelm and Lacey.
Centrally located between Portland and Seattle.

Amazing!
We went as a family with three kids to get away at a time when we are all pretty confined. The house was spotless. It was obviously just cleaned and sanitized. There were plenty of linens and towels for us. I absolutely have no complaints. Our stay was wonderful and it was easy upon check in and check out. I give it the best rating.

Beautiful property in a quiet location with a fantastic view of the lake. Well-stacked kitchen. The fireplace gives it such a cozy feeling. Smooth check-in / check-out process. Loved kayaking on the lake (life jackets provided). 10-12 minutes drive to Lakewood for groceries. Highly recommended !

Christmas Serenity
The property was a fabulous place to stay for the holidays. The busy main center of town was a mere ten minute journey down country roads, but the house felt a hundred miles away from it all. The kitchen was a dream for prepping holiday dinners, and the loft bedroom was cozy. But the view! After noisy and fun times with relatives, it was a needed treat to come back again and again to a lakescape that took all my cares and put them in a corner for a few days. One word of advice: if you arrive after dark, you may need a flashlight to find the front door the first time. The owners were very considerate about leaving a light on for us (much appreciated!), but for peace of mind it does not hurt. All in all, I would return to this quiet lovely place if I can the next time I visit Olympia. Thank you for the serenity.

This house was wonderful, we had a great time hosting Thanksgiving dinner for our family. The owner Cindy was very responsive when we couldn’t get the cable to work and we did just in time for Thanksgiving and college football. We will definitely be back. The pictures don’t do it justice, you must see in person.

Lakehouse
We came to Washington to see our daughter. The lakehouse was close and we thought we would give it a try. We loved it. We used the kayaks one day to enjoy the lake. The view is amazing. You can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the lakehouse and still be close to things to do and beautiful places to see. Tumwater falls, Mt Ranier- this state is gorgeous. We hope to return and will definitely check the availability of this property!

Perfect Relaxing Getaway
We absolutely loved this property. It was the perfect getaway for two very exhausted people. The view is maximized with a full wall of windows and when sitting in the living room or bedroom you see trees and sky and water everywhere. The kitchen is well stocked and so are the bookshelves. I will definitely book another stay at this property and have recommended it to friends already.

My husband and I enjoyed six days rest and relaxation the the lake house. The house is even more beautiful than the photos show. It is private, peaceful, and has all the amenities you could want. The path to the dock is lovely and kayaking on the lake or just sitting on the dock enjoying fresh air, birds and the soothing water is a perfect vacation.
