I thought the bedroom descriptions were miss leading. It appeared at first glance one bedroom had a king bed AND 2 twins. Not so. The childâs bedroom was a foam mattress on the floor, in a closet under a staircase. My son and his wife had to sleep with 4 year old. Other than those 2 concerns, it was a lovely home and the host answered messages promptly.
The locking mechanism on the door works sometimes, and the door also sticks. The BBQ doesnât work, and the air conditioning broke down. The noise from the traffic was loud, trying to sleep. Despite all these things, we had a wonderful stay. The deck was absolutely perfect to sit out, relax and enjoy the view. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked and the living area was lovely and bright. The location was central to all we needed to see in Issaquah. Did I mention the deck? We would return in a heart beat.
We love the boathouse! Lots of sun and beautiful view upstairs. The house itself is well outfitted, cute decor and comfy beds. Really convenient for walking our dog as the trail runs right by the house. And Lisa was super communicative and helpful.
We loved our stay! Beautiful cozy home with amazing views of lake Sammamish! The property owners were very attentive and so nice. Great location for us visiting family in Issaquah and Sammamish.
This was a wonderful place to stay with the perfect location - close to walking paths, shopping, restaurants. It was very well decorated, equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable stay and it had an incredible outdoor entertaining space. We will definitely stay here again!
It was a perfect stay for our Salmon Days weekend! Great communication throughout our trip. Lovely fall decor touches. Home had everything we needed and the deck was a perfect spot to gather and unwind after our fun filled days. Such a cute lake view home! We hope to be back!
Relaxing Boat House Cottage with Modern Rustic Charm
I stayed at this cozy boathouse cottage on Lake Sammamish during a work trip, and it exceeded my expectations. The space was clean, new, and well-maintained, with a perfect blend of modern rustic lake cabin vibes. It had ample room for two, but could easily accommodate a few more. The deck was great for dinner or just relaxing in the afternoon sun, and the property is right next to a walking and biking trail. Lisa, the property host, was responsive and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommended for both work and leisure stays!
The kitchen was well stocked with all the things that we needed during our stay. The large deck was a game changer for us as we enjoyed socializing and just enjoying the view.
Lisa was very responsive to our needs and was quick to reply to our inquiries.
We liked having the bike/walking path literally right outside our door.
And restaurants and shopping were just a short drive away.
We fully enjoyed our stay.
We stayed here with our adult children and three grandchildren while we were in Washington for a family birthday party. The Boathouse was perfectly comfortable, clean, well stocked with everything we needed, and host Lisa was so accommodating. We especially enjoyed the deck, the nice lake view and the well-stocked kitchen. Thank you so much, Lisa!!
Really enjoyed the location, walking path, and home. It is as advertised and very comfortable. Lisa was easy to work with and responsive while we were on the property. Would stay again!
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!
Great rental house and excellent location. House is well appointed and perfect for renting. Great communication with property manager during our stay. Highly recommend
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.
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.
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.
