Amazing Visit to WA
We did a family reunion of sorts and had a wonderful time staying here. The home was the perfect size for three couples and a teenager. The location was extremely convenient to touring Bellevue and Seattle. You can't beat the views from just about every window in this home. It was truly breathtaking. The owners are fabulous to work with and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience.

House was loved by all 6 of us! View and floorplan were perfect. Only things lacking were enough paper towels, dish towels, and Kleenix. Sleeps 5 with individual beds and one on a comfy couch, but there were no spare linens for the couch. Otherwise perfect!

Cougar Mountain Retreat
This is a very beautiful home that puts you in a place of tranquility. To experience this home was oh surreal. Me and my family were looking for time away to include being in celebration of my birthday and me and my husband's 22nd anniversary and I could not think of a better way to accommodate this all then being given the opportunity to enjoy this magnificent home! The hosts Ben & Laura are very responsive and insightful. When you have questions or need something they promptly respond. Each one of the members of my family will express their experience in their own words. Family Members 1 & 2 (husband & wife) The view of the lake is mesmerizing and amazing on each level of the home. The ivory colors of the furniture and linen against the wood brings a sense of coziness to the atmosphere. There is something for everyone. Skylights! Family Member 3 (Young Adult): The house is very beautiful! I loved the comfort of the beds and the vibe of the home is calming. The wood compliments the color of the walls, the windows are very welcoming. The hot tub was very relaxing and clean as well as the bathrooms. If I could go there again, I would. Family Member 4 (Young Adult):Good place to stay, I loved everything the scenery was beautiful and I enjoyed the gas stove, perfect place for a family! Family Member 5 (Pre-teen): The kitchen is cool with the frosted cabinets. The living rooms were comfy! The views are great. Just need better internet to connect PS4 in one of the guest rooms.

Family Graduation Celebration!
We gathered 3 generations from both sides of the family to celebrate our University of Washington grad. This beautiful home was the ideal lodging for our group traveling from all corners of the state. We had enough space to each find time for ourselves, and good indoor/outdoor spaces where everyone could spend time together. It was an easy drive into downtown but a peaceful retreat for the afternoon/evenings. The view was gorgeous! The decks were fantastic! The home itself was very clean and in good repair. The hosts were helpful, gracious, and readily available, but everything we wanted and needed was right on site. No regrets!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this home! It was a perfect fit for our family! The views are beautiful, outside deck with plenty of seating and fire table. The home was well stocked, clean and very comfortable. The downstairs area was great for family entertainment with the air hockey table, tv and sectional. We wanted to stay again for an upcoming wedding but it was already booked.

This was absolutely one of the best equipped beautifully decorated vacation home rentals we’ve experienced. The kitchen fully equipped making it easy to entertain your guests while they enjoy a fantastic view. The sauna and hot tub are a great feature as well. Details such as ample towels, s’mores supplies and so much more really made tho such a special stay. And, check in and out was a breeze. I highly recommend this spectacular rental.

Beautiful home with stunning views
Stayed here with 4 friends for a 3- night getaway. We loved everything about this house. Layout of the house, well stocked kitchen with ample dinnerware, comfortable beds, stunning views of Lake Sammamish, multiple seating areas, game room, beautifully decorated, super close to downtown Issaquah but you wouldn’t know it. Feels like you are in the woods. Be aware that there are a lot of stairs, but wasn’t an issue for us. We felt like owners had taken a lot of care to provide a comfortable stay for their guests. Loved it!

ben's house
the house was very nice and well equipped. we all like the fact there was plenty of kitchen ware. its nice to have all matching dishes, cups, glasses, and utensils. the appliances were high quality and the kitchen was up-to-date and clean. we didn't spend much time at the house, but when we were there it was very comfortable and it felt like "home" in a relatively short period of time. beds were all nice and there were plenty of towels. it was typical december/january weather during our stay so we didn't get to enjoy the decks. i'm sure guests would spend a majority of time at home on the decks in nice weather. definitely one of the nicer properties we've stayed at using vrbo.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Ledesma

Host profile image
Originally from the midwest, I've lived on the East side of Seattle for 13 years now. I adore the pacific northwest and try to spend as much time as I can in the outdoors, exploring the region's mountains, forests, and lakes. I love helping my guests create lifelong memories at our home. I have tried to anticipate everything you might need to make your stay perfect and truly relax in this hectic world. I am always available for anything you might need during your stay or to field any questions you have about the home or the Seattle region.

Why they chose this property

Our house is centrally located- 15 mins to downtown Seattle, 20 minutes to Sea-tac, 10 minutes from downtown Bellevue, 10 minutes to Redmond, and 5 minutes to Issaquah.

Perfect location for working in the area- close to MSFT, T-Mobile, GOOG, Starbucks, REI and Boeing.

Also great if you are in town for Mariners or Seahawks- just 13 miles from the stadiums!

What makes this property unique

With floor-to-ceiling views of the lake and tons of indoor and outdoor living space - you won't want to leave!

With inviting living & dining areas, a great gourmet kitchen, four generously sized bedrooms, including a particularly spacious master suite with a walk-in closet and a palatial bath - it's perfect for a family vacation, romantic getaway or to stay in while working in the area.

The main living areas – including the living room, dining room, kitchen, den/office and family room – all feature beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that admit plenty of natural light and offer gorgeous views. There is a TV room with a wet bar, plenty of room to BBQ and enjoy the outdoor living space.
