The property offers beautiful views, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and great outdoor spaces. Excellent communication with hosts. Highly recommended!
4.0 / 5.0
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!

Had a great stay with amazing view of lake. Firepit outside at night was delightful. Great close location to Bellevue. Would definitely stay again.

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.

My friends and I spent a wonderful Fourth of July holiday at this property. We were able to enjoy the fireworks from the deck. The property is well appointed and maintained. The owner responded to our inquires with courtesy and speed. We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property.

We had a great stay. The house had every amenity listed and any little item we may have forgotten was also provided. The owners really take extra effort to make your stay there convenient, very impressed. Also, the view from the house is spectacular!

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!

Absolutely recommend this location. It's a beautiful, well-equipped home that would be great either as a hub to head out from or a place for folks to hang out and connect.

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.

Loved the house. It was very well appointed with everything we needed for our stay, including soap, shampoo and conditioner. Loved the plugs beside the bed for charging. They thought of everything.

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.

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!

5.0 / 5.0
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.

The house itself was in excellent shape with all the amenities you could hope for. Hot tub was clean, sauna was easy to use, and all of the consumables like toilet paper, paper towels, and propane for the grill, were well stocked. There is also a ton of fridge space including a cool wine fridge in the game room. Pictures don’t really do it justice.
I love staying on this lake because of the proximity to Seattle without the Seattle traffic. I wish we could’ve stayed another week.

We had a great relaxing weekend with friends. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Nice view, comfortable beds, and the s’mores are a great touch. Would stay again.

We loved the house and it was exactly as described. We were visiting Seattle before heading out on an Alaskan cruise, and it was the perfect place to start out trip.

There really isn’t much more to say that hasn’t been said before, but this house was perfect for our group of 7 ranging in age from 1 to 67, and every age group was happy. The house is extremely clean and well stocked and the hosts have thought of everything. I will say that the pictures can’t do the view justice; it was just spectacular!

A few dads and their sons escaped for a few days and couldnt have picked a better location. Sitting on the deck looking out over the lake is amazing. Very little noise from I-90 and quite neighborhood makes this location great. Easy access to I-90 and short times into seattle or up to the mountains. House has everything you need and then some. We will definitely keep this house as a go too for future trips.

This is a fantastic property. It completely lives up to all the glowing reviews. The only thing nicer than this property is the owner/manager team. I hope I get the opportunity to rent this house again. Good times were had by all!

This home was just as beautiful as the pictures! Our family loved the deck, the view, and the hot tub. The teenagers loved the game room and the s’mores. This house was clean and inviting with lots of extra touches. There was plenty of space to gather together for meals and conversations, and plenty of space to get time alone or some one on one time.

We had an awesome time staying at the Cougar Mountain Retreat! The house was clean and had plenty of space for my family of 10. We had 3 kids, aged 3 to 13 and there were enough toys, games and activities to keep them all entertained. There was a lot of outdoor deck space to enjoy and take in the beautiful views.
I really appreciated that the kitchen was very well stocked with spices, utensils, dishes, pots and pans and anything else you could possibly need/want.
The owner was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions before and during our trip. I would highly recommend this house to anyone considering a stay.

Wow, wow and wow. I truly cannot thank the hosts enough for this amazing property. First, the view….oh my the view. Truly spectacular. Second, the property was spotless. So incredibly clean. Also, they had every amenity covered. The kitchen had every needed appliance, dishes, etc. They had so many games and linens were not lacking. Every aspect of the home showed attention to detail and the hosts truly wanted you to enjoy your stay. We loved our time, and our friends and family could also not get over how perfect the house way. Thank you Ben and Laura for helping my husbands birthday trip be SPECTACULAR!

I rented this house to stay with my less abled mom, my sister and my son. This was for the week before my other son’s wedding. We had an amazing stay. Weather could have cooperated a bit more but views-even with fog or haze are spectacular. The kitchen is stocked and cooking was easy. The hot tub and sauna are wonderful. Laura was very responsive when we couldn’t get the sauna to work. Once figured out, we didn’t have any problems. For my mom who is 87, this is not handicap accessible. (We new this going in). She was able to make 1 flight of stairs and stayed on the main level. Shower on main level is a shower tub combo and was hard for her even with a shower chair that we brought. (We also knew this going in so it isn’t a complaint just in case someone is in the same position looking to rent here. A hand held sprayer and grab bar would be perfect.) the upstairs master bedroom, closet and shared bathroom are fantastic! The bed is amazingly comfortable! I had the best nights sleep! All the beds are very comfortable in this house. What a great touch with the s’mores kit (small flame pot included)! They were delicious! It would have been wonderful to use the deck and fire pits if weather had cooperated more. Next time! Thanks for a great stay!

This was a perfect venue for a friend get-together! The hosts had clear instructions and were responsive to questions. Amazing views out to the lake and plenty of activities at the house and the surrounding area. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and comfortable sleeping accommodations.

It was a lovely home and perfect for our family. Kitchen was great, and the patio space was lovely.
The heating/ac was a little challenging and not balanced. The upstairs bedroom with the patio was receiving all of the heat or cooling.
The market was very nice.

We had a great time with our family as we attended a nearby wedding. Amenities were really good. Slight issues were hot tub temp (set at 109, took forever to cool) and limited parking given the size of the place.

This was a nice place for a group of people to get away without being too far- the view of the lake and the features of the house made it an ideal setting to get away for a few days!! The property manager was very responsive to my questions and the house was amazing! Highly recommend!!
5.0 / 5.0
The property is absolutely gorgeous. Had enough bedrooms for me to host my 8 best friends. It was the perfect entertainment home and had the best view to look at every morning. The host responded super quick and went out of the way to make our stay the best. The only downfall was that the sauna was advertised as working in the listing but when we got there, it was broken and out of order. Other than that, this property is an escape from the busy Seattle city.
