Beautiful property on a lovely lake, situated near shopping and other activities, but with the feeling of being far away from the city. Our hosts were wonderful. Such a great week shared with family.

We actually disconnected!
Echo Mountain View Blue House was everything we hoped it would be! Perfect location on the lake, quiet, amazing views and overall aided us in disconnecting from technology and just enjoying nature, comfortably. I would definitely book this property again and next time, I'll do less in Seattle and spend more time at the house, just reading and enjoying the lake more.

Serenity and verdure are what you will encounter at Lake Desire.
Our second weeklong stay put us under the spell of this special place. John is a great host and the house is very comfortable. The trail to the top of Echo Peak is steep, but on a clear day you have a great view of Mt.Rainier. Looking forward returning next year.

Best of both worlds
This property is so conveniently situated near stores and highways but you will feel like you are in a remote location. Coming out in the deck in the morning looking at the lake and gorgeous trees and flowers was fantastic. The house is next to a network of trails that lead to an overlook of Mt Rainer. The property is spacious and is set back from the street surrounded by a garden that is perfectly cared for. Patti and John - the host - are lovely people who made sure to do whatever was needed to ensure the perfect get away. I would highly recommend this property.

Great experience at a nice lake house
We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. The house was built in the late 1950s and has a super neat vintage feel to it. It is uniquely decorated both inside and outside. We loved the unique view of the lake and enjoyed having coffee in the morning watching wildlife including a bald eagle fly over the lake. John is a fantastic host and offers a lot of great tips to help make the stay in Seattle better. The other thing we really loved is the quiet solitude of the house. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping in after the hikes we did each day. The house is nicely located about 30 min from downtown Seattle but also about 40 min from some great hikes and waterfalls (Twin Falls, Rattlesnake Ledge and more). We will definitely come to rent this house again!

The view!!!
Hard to leave to large deck overlooking the lake and forest. Serene and peaceful. The house was good with all the basics and good size. Clean and the hosts who live next door were great and not intrusive. Great trail a few houses down and my husband loved hiking to the summit. Great view of Mr Ranier. Boats also available for use. 2 miles to grocery store in a good sized shopping center. Southcenter mall about 15 minutes. Want to return next year!!

Relaxing and Beautiful
This stay was wonderful! From the start, the communication with the owners was excellent, and that continued during our stay. If we needed anything, they were there to help. The home is well decorated and matched the pictures in the listing. There are several gathering places in the home, and we were on the deck a lot. Everything was available to cook our own meals, and the house is very organized. The landscaping was beautiful, and the view to the lake is unbeatable. We were able to use the boats on the lake and walked the trail up the mountain with the trailhead a few houses away. This was our first VRBO, and we give it a five-star rating and recommend it to anyone!

A serene lake setting
This home overlooking a forested lake was well furnished with comfortable beds and stylish furniture that was inviting. We felt at home with the property quickly. A bonus was the dramatic photography reflecting the owner’s world travels. The property was lovingly landscaped with pathways through well kept shrubs and flowers reflecting the flavor of the Nortwest. Although the home had a secluded feeling to it, we were only minutes away from the essentials such as groceries and Starbucks! We encountered no problems and the hosts were most gracious. We have no reservations about recommending this home and would choose it again.

Lovely location for friends retreat
Beautiful mid-century property in a perfect setting. Our group of 4 senior women chose this property for our knitters retreat and reunion. The lakefront location provided spectacular views and opportunity to enjoy the abundance of birds. (Two bald eagles flew within feet of the deck.) We cooked most meals in the well equipped kitchen. The recently updated appliances were a treat. We did not choose to use the variety of boat options available for renter use, but can imagine how much fun families with kids would enjoy the opportunity. Furnishings and linens are all up to date and beds very comfortable. Owners John & Patti were wonderful hosts and committed to making sure we had an enjoyable stay.

Let's just say the hosts were perfect. They made the stay welcoming and so easy from check in to check out. The home is beautiful with great views. The accommodations were just what we were looking for. The beds are so comfortable! The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need. I brought items along for just in case, but never had to use anything because it was already there. If your looking for a quiet , tranquil, and inviting home with wonderful hosts look no further because this is it. Close to stores, gas stations, and restraunts. Easy drive to Seattle. Thank you for allowing us the use of your home we couldn't have picked a better vacation home. Veronica and Tony S.
