Lakefront Tropical-Vibes Studio Cabin & Tiki Hut. Summer Fun, Winter Serenity!

Welcome to Lake Daze at Tapps! Wake up to amazing lake views directly from the comfy King bed in this tropical beach vibes tiny home/cabin. Enjoy the lake just steps away from the cabin, roast s’mores in the fire pit, and relax on the dock with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

The cabin is perfect for a fun getaway or romantic staycation, with an homage to our favorite place, Hawai'i!


- Covered Tiki-themed outdoor patio provides shade and rain protection
- Kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboard, and Water Toys available for guests use. (Seasonal availability)
- Small Kitchenette with microwave and large mini fridge.
- Dedicated fast internet and writing desk for a unique work retreat.
- Outdoor fire pits: traditional wood pit and a propane fire bowl in the Tiki Hut


Max occupancy is two adults. This is a cozy 275 square foot studio/tiny home with one King bed.

Note: The cabin is right on the lake, so be prepared to be entertained on sunny summer days with multiple boats, jet skiers, kayakers, and the occasional float plane going by. There will be boat noise, music being played, and delighted screams from the inner-tubers as they are towed behind the boats. In winter, the lake level goes down a bit but there is always water in front of the cabin. It is very peaceful and quiet in the winter months - great for watching the waterfowl and relaxing in the cozy cabin.

This lakeside Hawaii themed rental was an amazing way to cure some winter blues! We were repeatedly impressed with all the thought put into the house and outside areas. Everything was clean and had a new feeling to it. We hope to return here when the weather is warmer!

Beautiful Cabin and Amazing Views
We are local and wanted a weekend getaway close to home. The cabin was more beautiful and perfect in so many ways. Kitchenette with everything you need plus microwave with small fridge. There were snacks, coffee, board games and easy to use fireplace which we absolutely loved. The bed was super comfortable. Christmas lights were up. The outdoor gas fire pit looked super cozy but unable to use due to the constant rain and drop in temperature. The booklet left inside answered all our questions and the hosts were available if we needed them. We really truly had one of the best weekends and would highly recommend staying here. ❤️

The room was cute and clean. We were not able to use the kayaks or paddle boards because of the weather, but so cool that’s it’s available to use. Very quiet at night and a great view.

A Slice of Heaven
The pictures do not capture the true beauty of the lake house. It is so quiet and peaceful, even with the boats and jetskis on the lake. The little kitchenette was perfect for making tea and coffee or warming up leftovers in the microwave. Our daughter and her family came to visit around the fire pit and enjoy some s'mores. Our granddaughter wanted to go in the water but it was definitely too cold. For me the best part was watching the sunsets which were quite breathtaking. Our host went above and beyond for us...she even let me borrow her scale for the week. A stack of firewood was provided for the fire pit. They also provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There were several things that if you forgot to pack it it was okay because they thought enough to provide it. The lake house is within close proximity to several parks, restaurants, and stores. My husband and I both had a wonderful time and look forward to returning when the weather is warmer and we can enjoy the lake more.

A little Hawaii in Washington
My husband and I stayed at this property for our 25th anniversary. It was a beautiful stay. The detail and level of care of the property both inside and out are top notch. The Hawaiian theme is cheerful and welcoming. The place is cute, cozy, and full of charm. The lake views are terrific and amenities like the kayaks and the fire pit made for a fabulous time.

Lakefront living
A beautiful place to spend time on Lake Tapps right on the water with wonderful sunset views. The studio is very clean with a comfortable bed and nicely decorated. The outside has a covered sitting area, fire pit and grill. It was so much fun to use the kayaks and paddle boards to explore the lake. Nearby Tapps Island has a great, challenging 9 hole course as well as a restaurant. Suzy has many thoughtful touches throughout the space including a welcome basket full of goodies. A great visit and we will definitely be back! Thank you Suzy for sharing with us!

Fantastic Lakefront Getaway
My partner and I stayed in Suzy and Jason’s cabin for a weekend and it was perfect for us. They are kind, caring, and considerate hosts. We really appreciated the privacy of the space, location, and thoughtful details they took care of. They really thought of everything. The cabin was immaculate. They provide a bundle of firewood and fire starter to use in their fire pit. There are life jackets of varying sizes available to use with paddle boards and kayaks. Suzy even came and helped us get the gas griddle going. I would give this stay 10 stars if I could.

This was honestly the best experience we have had with VRBO! Check in was easy, the property was pristine. They had a great welcome basket with snacks and the bed was sooooo comfy. We will stay again if we are ever in the area. Can’t beat waking up to the lake at your feet. We also loved they had shampoo and conditioner.

How time flys!
Peaceful & cozy! Wished we could have stayed longer! Waking up to the lake view at your feet was amazing. Loved hearing/seeing the waterfowl fly over or land in the lake. The white swans that seemed to be resident were an added bonus. Appreciated the little things the owners did to make to make sure we had treats/snacks as we arrived late and hungry.

Cozy Cabin
The Cabin/Tiny Home is Absolutely Adorable! So Cozy and Clean. We really enjoyed the Amazing Views of the lake. Location wise the cabin is in the backyard of the host. If you are arriving at night definitely cross the backyard to enter the cabin on the left. The right side is a steep sloping part of the yard with stepping stones. The bed and the linens were so comfortable and we were happy with the small space. The views of the lakes is why booked and did not regret it. Suzy was welcoming and helpful. Offering suggestions for dining and exploring the small town. I would book again!
