Holiday rentals with lake access in Elliott Bay

This place was awesome. Felt right at home—like one of the family. NOTE: If you like antiseptically trendy, pristine spaces full of faux wood and IKEA furniture, DO NOT stay here. You’ll just complain and give this property less than the five stars it deserves. IF, however, you like places that bring back childhood memories of coming in off the lake so grandma can make you a pj&j, pour you some milk and put camphor on your bug-bites, this is the place. The walls are real wood paneling. The lake is beautiful and serene. There are old boardgames and even older National Geographic magazines in the hall closet. Yes, there is WiFi, Netflix, and a Keurig, but you’ll kinda wish there wasn’t. This is the place to put that behind and step back into simpler, more connected (as in, with FAMILY) times. Stay here with your family. Turn your phones off. Play boardgames, canoe, and swim. We hope to be back again for a longer stay.

The house, property, and lake were beautiful and this Airbnb was an excellent getaway for our group of 6. The beds were comfy, the interior was decorated very nicely, and we had everything we needed amenity-wise. We wouldn’t have minded 1 more tv but with enough to do on the property it wasn’t a big deal at all. The hosts were very responsive, polite, and offered local recs when we asked. Thank you for a great weekend away, we’d absolutely come back to this rental!

What a wonderful, cozy stay! This house feels like a home in the best of ways. Very cozy fireplace, wonderful views of the lake and ducks swimming from the entire back of the house, plus above and beyond gestures of kindness from the host(s). I stayed here recovering from a medical procedure and was welcomed with a “get well soon” card. The house was spotless and full of natural light. Thank you again for the peaceful experience.

Hosts were great to work with from the 1st communication. House located in a great area, felt incredibly remote & quiet. Even though its a few blocks off one of the main city roads, once you pull onto road & pull up to house it felt very remote & removed from the busy city. Stores, restaurants & shopping were all very close by just a few minutes drive. The house was big but very cozy at the same time. Lots of rooms & space fits a lot of people without feeling crowded at all. Yard was huge, easy walk to dock. Lawn well maintained & we took full advantage of outside sitting area, yard games, paddle boat, stand up paddles board AND canoe! Great outside sitting area with plenty of seats for everyone as well as a large deck also with great space & more than ample chairs & tables. House was very clean & well maintained with all the amenities needed! Beds & pillows clean & comfortable with extra blankets & pillows for everyone. Wont hesitate to stay here again. Very happy customers. Ty!

Great place. Lots to do. Backyard connected to a small lake. Beautiful. I would recommend this place and would gladly stay again.

The “light filled Lake house” was exactly that and more. Extremely comfortable beds and living area. We were able to have our family visit us and enjoy a meal together because the kitchen had absolutely everything you could possibly need to make a meal. This home is very private and peaceful so a vehicle is necessary to get out and about for daily activities other than spending a day by the lake which is right outside the back door. Kristine had coffee, trash bags, sandwich bags and other necessities available that we did not expect, which was a pleasant surprise. The Kayaks are not available in the Winter which is understandable, however our days were busy visiting family and sight seeing. Gig harbor (gorgeous!) 20 mins drive away. Seattle, one hour away with a thoroughly enjoyed Ferry ride. We highly recommend this home as your accommodations.

Very scenic view felt like home. made my kids felt welcome had alot of fun.

We just purchased a home in this area and needed a place to stay close to it while it gets furnished and this was perfect! It was so quiet and peaceful. The view of the lake is great! The house was very clean, decorated beautifully and super cozy. If we didn’t live just down the street we would stay here again! Mickey was a great host and answered my messages quickly. I had forgotten my purse here after checkout and he worked with me so I could retrieve it. Really great experience. Highly recommend! (I don’t recommend forgetting your purse though 😂).

Great place to stay with a beautiful view. Good location with easy access to many parts of Seattle and the airport.

Excellent stay, not too far from downtown.

This was a wonderful experience. I was in Seattle for a work training and I really felt at home. Lisa and Steve were so thoughtful and in the Airbnb I access to pots and pans, nice dishes, delicious snacks and really phenomenal coffee. The shower was my favorite. It was a glass shower with Aveda products. The bed was absolutely incredible - high quality sheets and great mattress. I can't wait to stay here again.

Alex's basement cottage was lovely. Beautifully furnished, clean, cozy, warm or cool as needed, full kitchen with all necessary appliances, utensils, full size fridge, dishwasher, etc. The bed & linens were very clean & comfortable. The yard around the main house was lovely & well cared for, with Spring flowers, shrubs & trees blooming all around. Alex's extra touches - like Easter treats! - were very much appreciated. The Cafe' Javasti just a few blocks away was great - amazing crepes & very good coffee! A sweet place & conveniently located near GreenLake Park, which is really worth a visit. There are many restaurants located at the part of the Park that is near Alex's place, but parking is a bit of an issue so if you are up for walking several blocks down & then back up again, that is the way to go. To see the Park & Lake itself, keep driving counter-clockwise around the lake & then park past The Boathouse Theater; it is less busy over there & very nice for many activities.

I came to Seattle for a yoga training and it was the perfect location and the view is absolutely beautiful!!

Scenic and comfortable for friends or family with kids. Kitchen was top notch, had all the essentials and multiple Keurig options. The deck by the lake is very nice to hang out at evenings and night time. TV remote didn't have batteries and the bathroom drain can be unclogged better. But these were minor inconveniences.

Wonderful little oasis. Very comfortable and fully stock kitchen everything you needed to cook a nice home cooked dinner. Make sure you are home to catch a sunset absolutely stunning. Hosts very responsive.

Quiet, comfortable stay in a very pleasant neighborhood with easy parking. It really felt like home, with a terrific kitchen, beautiful backyard view, tall ceilings and comfortable furniture. Will love returning when visiting again.

Thank you for the stay. We both enjoyed our time. And the beauty of the place. Found it very relaxing. And while we did not make use of all of the amenities, found all of it enticing enough to consider returning. For those of you looking at this to review, I have stayed at a number of places across the Pacific Northwest and this is definitely worth trying.

It has beautiful views, enjoyed drinking my morning coffee on the deck, my Airedale loved the yard and playing in the water, we enjoyed watching the ducks swimming by and even with the rain it was still beautiful and enjoyable and very relaxing, loved staying there!

great host, great location and easy check-in. would absolutely book again. one thing to be mindful of are the stairs in the house going down as the steps can be tricky if you aren't watching your step.

Perfect tiny home! The hosts went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. They were super easy to communicate with and gave me fantastic recommendations. The place was equipped with all essentials plus more. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient stay. I will definitely be booking again on my next trip!

This secluded cottage/cabin is an absolute gem. It was perfect for our honeymoon. The cozy living space, the lake, the fire pit, the rockers on the deck, the wildlife - all of it was just incredible. The hardest part was leaving!! We would love to come back, and HIGHLY recommend to anyone who’s interested in a sweet, quiet getaway.

Lakefront comfort and beauty! a great place to stay, just as described.

Such an amazing find!! Beautiful cottage!! Amazing scenery!! Peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for 2 people!!

We had a wonderful time on our favorite lake, celebrating ours kids birthdays! The kids made forever memories jumping into the lake & boating for hours! Tim was sooo helpful and his wife even had homemade cookies for us that the kids loved! We had a great time and would be thrilled to rent the cottage again! Memories we will never forget were made there!
