For many years, we have spent Thanksgiving with family who live in the area, and have stayed in hotel rooms and other rental properties over the years. This property was unique - a beautiful lakeside location in late Fall that must be spectacular in warmer months. The layout is a bit different than most, with a large master bedroom and king bed with very spacious en suite bath and walk in closets, and one other more modest bedroom with bath next door (with a split plan for privacy if you are traveling with friends or children). The combined kitchen/dining/family room area is huge, and with the adjoining deck area could accommodate a large group for an event or just give a small group plenty of room to stretch out. The appointments were comfortable and casual enough for a relaxed stay at a Summer cottage, and the access to internet and indoor entertainment were blessings at a time of year when the weather in Washington can be variable.
Our experience with Gaylene was exceptional. There were a few unavoidable glitches with some upgrades around the premises delayed by the pandemic, but she was able to alert us in advance and work around the issues to assure we had a quiet and comfortable stay. She greeted us upon our arrival and was available whenever we needed anything, but never obtrusive in the least as we made ourselves at home for the week we were there. If you are looking for a comfortable, peaceful and beautiful place to relax and recharge, we would highly recommend that you consider spending some time here.
