Holiday Gathering

We rented this house for 11 of us and there was room to spare! The kitchen was pretty well stocked for cooking and baking, there were two refrigerators (a second oven would have been ideal), beautiful views, right on the lake and a big open living and dining room. It was perfect!

Spanaway Stay

This place was exactly what we wanted for a Labor Day Weekend trip with friends! We had 12 people and a dog in our party. The house and yard are spacious, the space was clean, both on and off site people were nice & quick to communicate. Beautiful view off the lake. Would definitely recommend to anybody for a larger gathering trip!

The location on the lake made this stay memorable and fun for our quick family getaway! Our family really enjoyed the view of the lake during the day and at night.

Lovely lake house

The lake house was beautiful. Open expansive views of the water and the sunrise. So much space with all the comforts for enjoying family time. Lots of time on the water kayaking, and a little fishing with eagles flying overhead. A wonderful place to relax and rejuvenate.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Shelton

Host profile image
This is a family owned lake home. For four generations, our family has lived in the Puget Sound area, and we grew up visiting and swimming at the Spanaway Lake Park. Now owning this property together, we continue to have family gatherings and events at this beautiful lake home. It is a favorite place of the grandkids, who love to fish and swim off the dock. It is also a favorite for us adults, whether it is quick friend gatherings, weekend BBQs, or just a serene place to find some needed rest and recovery.

Why they chose this property

Located minutes away from the city so it is close to everything. At the same time, it is at the end of a dead end road which makes it a unique property with the perfect match of convenience and privacy.

What makes this property unique

It is close to everything, yet gives the private vacation vibe you are looking for. The views and wildlife are amazing. The pictures really don’t do it justice.
