Holiday rentals with a kayak in Washington

I had an amazing weekend stay at this beautiful lakefront property! The cozy vibe and tasteful decor made it feel like a true getaway. One of the highlights was the spacious deck overlooking the lake, it was the perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning while taking in the peaceful views. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings, roasting marshmallows and unwinding under the stars. The private deck by the water was another favorite, great for lounging during the day and even better for fishing right off the dock. It was such a treat to enjoy quiet moments by the water throughout the day. Grant was a fantastic host, super responsive and helpful, which made everything easy and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic escape. Would love to come back!

Fantastic view! The house is beautiful and decoration is cute. Family friendly. Would love to stay longer

All the lake amenities were great, as well as the hot tub. Had everything we needed!

It a wonderful visit! The beauty surrounding this place is amazing. We saw so much wildlife. Will definitely consider staying here again when we visit family.

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the lake view , the paddle boat . Nice area . Our little dog had lots of room to roam in the big back yard . I would stay again . Plenty of parking , we travel with a 12’ cargo trailer .

The photos do not lie. Very peaceful spacious accommodations. The kayaks were wonderful for a peaceful late afternoon paddle. It is true that the path to the beach is very steep and not for the faint of heart or legs. The only slight drawback is that sound carries very easily through the air ducts, so if you're in the master bedroom, you will hear what's going on downstairs. But all in all, I would not hesitate to stay here again and again.

We’ve all read glowing reviews that don’t turn out to be true…this is NOT that! We loved staying here!! The pictures and descriptions match the actual property. The host is very communicative, informative, and friendly. We enjoyed the backyard, fishing, the kayaks, the fire pit…gorgeous area and so peaceful! If we are in the area again we will definitely stay here again.

Great stay! Very small but quiet getaway location. Definitely can’t imagine staying in that space with more than 2 people. There was no coffee table which was where we were supposed to find extra linens so I’m not sure what happened but it was fine regardless. Everything was fairly clean, easy to find. Lots of spider webs all over the patio and furniture, but it’s nature. Would stay here again on a summer day.

Beautiful and well-maintained property. Great, attentive and thoughtful hosts. Had the best lake life for the weekend!

I booked Margo‘s place for my son and his wife for their honeymoon. They wanted a quiet, beautiful place near the water in the Pacific Northwest. This place was perfect.

I visited the cottage to escape the city for a few days. This place is absolutely adorable— completely drenched in natural sunlight. It manages to maintain its historical charm while also feeling modern. I did some remote work during the visit & the WiFi worked perfectly— I could even get signal sitting outside. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the water, but even just sitting outside on the floating dock or the balcony provided a lot of peace. This place is the perfect mixture of providing a secluded feel while still being just a short drive to grocery/ restaurants. I truly loved my stay here & am already trying to figure out when I might be back!

We celebrated a birthday here with 5 adults and a newborn, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home is beautifully decorated with such kindness and thought—it felt incredibly cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We spent our days kayaking on the water, spotting seals, birds, and even a curious raccoon who came to visit the porch during dinner! It was such a special feeling to be so close to nature, yet so comfortable at the same time. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook delicious dinners together, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the house. My guests kept commenting on how much love clearly went into this home. And the deck… absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t have wished for a better birthday. Truly a magical and memorable stay—we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful place and amazing view. Enjoyed being right on the water - rooms, decks, fire pit(s), and hot tub were amazing. Really enjoyed watching the sea otters in the Sound. Well cared for place.

I wish we had had more time in Lake Tapps and our stay there. You couldn’t ask for a better lakeside view and sunsets! The space was a good size for two adults and was in great condition. Very clean. Complimentary snacks and available use of kayaks, SUPs, fire pit, etc. were a nice touch, even if we didn’t get the chance to utilize all of them! Suzy was super nice and super responsive. If we find ourselves in or around Seattle again, I hope we can go back!

Spend one of the best weekends at Danielle’s place. Comfortable and clean, great location for the perfect getaway. Highly recommended!

Wayne was a delight to book from. He was responsive, friendly & helpful. The cabin was a dream and exactly as advertised. The cabin is quaint & cozy with large windows providing an 180 degree view of the lake. But the crown jewel is the large deck overlooking the water, tucked behind a privacy hedge and filled with fragrant roses & beautiful flower containers. We enjoyed wine & appetizers at the tabletop fire pit, then relaxed in the high-end hot tub high-end hot tub under a starry night sky. The boathouse rooftop deck was great for morning yoga, and the paddle boat, kayaks & paddleboards were great options for daytime activities. Last, but not least, visits from the friendly golden retriever, Hank was an added treat to a wonderful, last minute mother-daughter getaway. I will definitely be back again!

Great spot. Loved the nautical theme. Spectacular views of the Sound. Comfy beds. Decently stocked kitchen. The shower/bathroom was a bit on the small side, but easy to overlook considering all the amazing amenities of the spot. Loved being able to get down to the water! Would highly recommend even though selfishly would prefer to keep it a secret. Have to let go of the things we love ;)

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

Gorgeous location and house with really cool amenities quiet and fun.

We had such a great stay at the Mermaid Ranch. Dolly was a great host and the place was just what our family needed for a getaway. The outside is awesome with spectacular views and surroundings and the inside was cozy and relaxing.

Lovely home on Lake Whatcom. We had a peaceful and fun time enjoying the lake and mountains. Mackenzie was a great host and very communicative and responsive

Nice and cozy place surrounded by trees. Relaxing to sit outside on the hammock and just listen to nature. You might even get a visit from a friendly deer. They give you everything that you need if you want to enjoy a day or two on the lake. Always answered questions that I had in a timely manner. Food and activities to do in close proximity. They leave brochures for you if you are interested in driving for further out places. Overall it was everything my wife and I were looking for. I highly recommend this place if you are planning a trip in or around hoodsport.

They provided all the necessary support in a very professional manner. The scenery by the lake near the cabin is absolutely beautiful. Whether you’re inside the house, out in the yard, or by the lake, you can easily find plenty of things to do and enjoy. It’s a pity I could only stay for one night this time. I’d love to come back and stay longer if I have the chance in the future.
