Great Stay at the Boat House

Pre trip communication with owner was good. The instructions for staying in the house were very informative with directions, code, eating recommendations, etc. Nice trail around the lake for morning walks. Very peaceful and the beds were very comfy. Weather was not good for using the deck, but did get to sit out on one evening. Great place!

Fantastic location and host

We mostly hung out to visit with friends from out of town and were looking for a great view while we did it. The property was lovely and the view exceeded expectations. It's quite conveniently located, with a gym and the grocery store about 5-7 minutes away and other amenities even closer. The host was responsive and awesome. Kitchen worked well for cooking all meals needed.

Relax and breathe it in

When I read the story of how the Boat House was found on a walk through the neighborhood, basically abandoned and "dysfunctional," it was hard to believe. I looked up and saw a spacious living room decked out in beach-themed gear, a hallway leading to several rooms in one direction and a beautiful view onto Lake Sammamish in the other. How could this place ever be anything less than lovely? My wife and I stayed here for three days while I was at work in Issaquah - a sort of working vacation. It felt fantastic to come "home" to such a welcoming, relaxing place. The beds are comfortable and the living room is a great space to just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Did the TV work? I'm not sure - we never felt the need to turn it on. Though we did use the electric fireplace every night we stayed and that worked just fine. I'm familiar with the Issaquah area so it was also nice to be able to enjoy my many favorite restaurants while we were staying there - Tiger Mountain Coffee and the Well and Table come highly recommended. Our host, Lisa, was responsive and very accommodating. When I asked if my daughter, who lives nearby, could join us for a night her response was quick and simple: "Absolutely yes!" While we never saw her, I always felt like she was available if we needed anything. The Boat House is a standout example of how a formerly "dysfunctional" house can turn into a lovely home away from home. I hope we get the opportunity to stay here again.

Beautiful Lake House

Very clean property, with nice view of the lake. We were in area for a family reunion and was convenient to everything in the area, right next to walking path. Has a wonderful deck, but due to weather, we only gazed longingly at it! The windows from sitting area inside were a good backup! Will definitely stay there again if we go back to the area.

Great place

Communications with Host was outstanding. Easy access to Issaquah, Redmond, and Sammamish. While not directly on the lake location was extremely close, the lake Sammamish trail was steps away. 5 stars all around!

Cozy yet roomy

The boathouse is very spacious and has a great view of the lake. It’s also close to groceries, gas, and restaurants for a low key vacation. It can be a little hard to find at first if you arrive at night, but that’s due more to there being not much light in the town along the roads than the property itself.

Great accommodations in Sammamish

Overall we had a very pleasant stay at the Boathouse. The space of the property is very well optimized. The appliances are all in good condition. Lisa was very responsive when supplies were missing or low (even over the holidays). The bedding in the rooms was very comfortable. The description was slightly misleading (we thought the downstairs room had a King PLUS 2 twins but it actually was just 2 twins that could be moved together to make a King). Luckily my son was able to sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. We would love to visit again in the spring or summer when we can enjoy the beautiful, spacious deck.

Perfect Place with Spectacular View!

Everything that you would ever want in a vacation house - immaculate yet cozy interiors, spacious deck, and just about every convenience you can think of. We stayed for ten days in November and had everything that we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner. Lisa went out of her way to make our stay extra special including a Fall centerpiece for our table. Perfect place for families - lots of spaces for TV watching, board games, and conversation.

Lovely stay in Sammamish

Our stay at the Boathouse was wonderful! Our check in was simple and Lisa sends detailed info for that and directions. There were five adults and it was very comfortable and plenty of space. Very cozy, very clean and kitchen is well stocked. Loved the nautical decor. The view off the back porch is lovely. We all agreed the beds were quite comfy. Communication with Lisa was very good. She responded quickly to questions I had. The area was also very nice. We did not have time because of our only being there two nights and sightseeing, but would have loved to check out the trail right there to the water. Also Lisa’s welcome/directory book is very thorough and detailed and check out was very easy. Thank you Lisa for opening your wonderful space!!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Frostad

Owners have lived in the area since 1994 and have remodeled several houses and offer 4 on the eastside plus Maui, Alaska and Whistler Canada homes for rent. This diamond-in-the-rough estate property offered 2 homes and a chance to bring them from 1980's 'chic' into the 21st century with just a hint of nautical kitsch.

Why they chose this property

This combination boathouse/lake view home sits behind a larger lakefront home on a 1/2 acre lot. The 2 homes are eparated by hedges and a large garden area so guests have complete privacy. Listed in vrbo Bellevue (more people familiar with that area) but we are actually located on East Lake Sammamish Parkway, in the city of Sammamish at the south end, close to Issaquah. So easy access to Interstate 90.

What makes this property unique

Tons of natural light, sunsets and constantly changing sky and water colors. Eagles, falcons frequent the area. Trail that follows all along the east side of Lake Sammamish is accessible just 100 feet from guests' front door. Same trail takes you to Sammamish State Park boat launch or venture further on into Issaquah where you can grab lunch, hot coffee or ice cream.
