Next to the entry (on your left), you have a hallway leading to the laundry room with a full washer and dryer unit. Continuing down the hallway, you will enter the tile-floored kitchen and dining room with unobstructed lake views.

Connected to the foyer and dining/kitchen is the living room (2 comfy pullout couches, coffee table, 75-inch TV, and fireplace) with beautiful views of Lake Tapps. The foyer, living room, dining space, and kitchen form a spacious, connected hall providing unobstructed views of Lake Tapps from every corner.

Other Details:
Lake Tapps is a reservoir in Pierce County, Washington. Lake Tapps is about 4.5 square miles (12 km) in surface area and has about 45 miles (72 km) of shoreline. Please note that the reservoir water level is lowered from late October through late April each year (approximately 5-10 feet), and motorboat access is unavailable during these months.

The Sunset Lake Retreat backs to gorgeous Lake Tapps, and it is a great place to swim, float, and enjoy water activities. A short distance from the end of our dock, there are submerged stumps just below the surface. Diving and jumping into the lake should not be done to avoid injury. We discourage using motor boats/jet skis in this area if you are not familiar with this particular section of the lake. Small, non-motorized vessels are more suitable in this part of the lake. Please take a look at the video links provided in the guestbook to learn more.

Liability Waiver: You agree to waive any claim whatsoever against the Host for accidents or claims arising from accessing the Lake (swimming or using any floating devices, e.g., kayaks, inflatables, OR motorable devices, e.g., boats, jet skies, etc.). All Guests in your party acknowledge and agree that they have seen this page and read and understand this waiver. They recognize that booking constitutes a binding and enforceable contract between the Guests and the Host.

Perfect Setting, Great House, Beautiful Sunsets!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The house was perfect - clean, spacious, fully stocked. The layout is great for for two families to spread out but also provides perfect gather spaces. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to cook for and serve a group of 8. The lakefront setting is the best part about this property. The sunset view is AMAZING! Our family spent hours and hours in the water, kayaking, paddle boarding, and just floating around. We had a boat to explore the lake and discovered the most stunning view of Mt Rainier just around the corner. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy everything this property has to offer!

Family Gathering

Due to its prime location and pristine setting, the “HomeAway” Lake Tapps House provided the ideal opportunity for my visiting family to experience the complete Pacific Northwest summertime experience we've grown to love and enjoy. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. Highly recommend +. 5 stars!
