Guppies Lake Cottage - Private Access Lake Dock, close to Mt. Rainier

Remodeled 2 bedroom 1 bath lakefront cottage built in 1950 with an abundance of natural light. Your own private Dock/beach in the backyard, where you can bask in the sun and enjoy a day of swimming, boating and fishing!
Sit out on the deck with a panoramic view of the lake while you enjoy your morning coffee and stroll into the night with your fresh catch of the day!"

Spectacular views of the Rainier Peek from the lake. Paddle boat provided for the Guests to use. Launch your own kayak from the private dock, or your own boat from the public launch area of the lake.

On a sunny day you may catch a glimpse of the Rainier from the deck, a bald eagle also visits out backyard tree! and humming birds are a constant visitor early morning if you fill in the feeder.

No smoking on the Property is allowed, neither inside nor outside. There is $700 fine for smoking.

Property has exterior security cameras.

We are in Well water with 3 stage filter, we consume it for drinking but the taste maybe funny for you. So consider carrying bottled water with you before heading our way. After you make your reservation, we share the Guest guide detailing the closet grocery stores and points of interest.

Must climb stairs
Nearby lake, river, other body of water
Heights without rails or protection

We have a steep gravel driveway with a curve at the end so no RV or trailers please.
We advise that you come during day light time for the first day since the place is hard to find during night time and may be intimidating to go down that gravel hill in the dark.

Special Harry Potter theme second bedroom. With a full collection of Movie DVD in the series.
The place is not baby proofed/ children of all ages are welcome.
We have in-wall Heaters, but the space does not have any cooling. Natural ventilation and plenty of tall trees keep the place cool.

A paddle boat is provided for your use, but place the boat upside down back "on" the dock [not in water]. Feel free to bring your own Kayak's to launch from the private dock. We are on are on high bank, so you cannot launch your own boat -- except portable kayaks. There is a public boat launch available across the lake for larger boats.

Nearest grocery store is Safeway -- about 15 minutes away.
We are on 'Well Water' with a 3 stage filter installed but we encourage you to bring your own drinking water and ice.

Perfect weekend getaway
We went to a concert on Friday night at the white river ampitheatre and decided to make a weekend out of it. Instead of making the 2+ hour drive home after the show we drove just 45 minutes to this cute little lake cottage and spent the rest of the weekend relaxing! We had originally thought we would do some hiking around Mt.Rainer but the lake was so peaceful we never really left. We will save that for next time. We did hit NW Trek on our way home since it was only 15 minutes away from the property and we really enjoyed it.

Lake Cabin
This is a great place for some families, but not for us. First, props for the creative Harry Potter room—very fun and well done. Other positives—the location feels far away but isn’t a long drive from the Seattle area, the inside was clean, and there were lots of toys, books & videos for younger kids. But there were disappointments—admittedly, at least one of which was the result of us looking at a lot of listings and not paying as close attention to this one as we should have. But others, too. Our intention is to help future renters find the place that is great for them. The downsides for us—no grill (the listing doesn’t say that there’s a grill, so it’s not hidden, but we were surprised that a place like this didn’t have one), the seating in the TV area is not comfy (formal arm chairs and a day bed without good back pillows), the outside areas were not well maintained/cleaned up, the kitchen was missing some basic items (like a cutting board…there was a small cheese-platter cutting board, but we couldn’t find an actual cutting board) while there were some neat and unexpected kitchen items (like a cool traditional salsa mortar and pestle (molcajete)), the dock isn’t a swimming dock, and there wasn’t a beach to speak of (just some dirt & weeds by a rock wall leading into the lake). Overall, this is a lake cabin that seems to be an important place to this family. It’s nice for many that they share it, but it may not be for you.

A Nice Stay at the Lake
This property was exactly what I was expecting. A nice lake house that's right off the water. There are a lot of other properties around the lake, but overall, it was very quiet and everyone had a great time. The inside of the house was very clean and everything worked. This whole area of Washington state has very hard water, so the water has a mild sulfur smell to it, but the property owners installed a filtration system and supplied a water filter jug in the fridge for drinking. We had no issue with the hardness of the water. My kids loved it and spent most of their time outside, but they also have movies and some televisions in the house. If what you're looking for is a quiet stay in a small house right off the water, then this is a great choice.

Great Spot for a Vacation at the Lake
A really nice spot right on the lake. The deck is a wonderful spot to enjoy the views of the water. The cottage is small, but everyone should be spending most of their time on the lake or deck, so it’s a non issue The water isn’t the most welcoming from the dock, so it’s best if you have a paddle board or a boat to do your swimming from the middle of the lake.

Cute lakeside cottage
This 1950s cottage has been updated and outfitted with just about everything for a sweet getaway. The deck overlooking the lake has a lovely table with a cover for a really hot afternoon. The dock and lake access make it easy to take a quick paddle around the lake.
