Come and experience the true "American Dream" at this gorgeous, two-story home located on the tranquil shores of American Lake! This location allows you to enjoy endless outdoor activities and visit many local attractions. Spend a day hiking up on Mt Rainer or in the Cascade Mountains or take a ferry cruising across Puget Sound and explore Vashon Island. Golfers will be delighted by the numerous local courses, including the British links-style course that hosted the U.S. Open 2015. Visit the Tacoma Museum of Glass (13 miles) and watch artists creating new works in the “hot house.” Enjoy the zoo at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (17.4 miles), the Tea House (eight miles), and the hiking forest and beaches at Point Defiance Park (17.2 miles). Bring a boat or rent a boat from various local companies and fishing outfitters. There is room for your boat and trailer at the house and a boat launch at the public park just down the street (where the kids will love the nautical playground). Enjoy Mt Rainier views while paddling, zipping, waterskiing or wakeboarding along on the majestic waters of American Lake and Lake Steilacoom!

Inside this darling home, you will find a fabulous open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen space, with four sets of French doors, showcasing a spectacular view of Pacific NW nature, and providing the perfect place for gathering together and sharing vacation time with family or friends. The living room is the perfect gathering spot for indoor fun with a basket full of games and puzzles, shelves full of books, and a cupboard stocked just for the little kids. The nearby dining table expands out to seat up to 12 people! The well-appointed kitchen is supplied with every appliance and cookware you could possibly need to whip up tasty homemade meals. There is a coffee bar and kitchen island for early risers and morning conversations. The fully accessible primary bedroom features its own sitting room with comfortable sofas, a bookshelf, and a smart TV, and an en suite bathroom with grab bars and a roll-in shower. Additional amenities include two desk spaces for the option of working virtually and a washer/dryer on-site.

There are two patios - a large patio for relaxing and for hanging out, hosting happy hours, and dining alfresco, with direct access to/from the kitchen. There is an outdoor BBQ area for warm-weather barbecues. And there is a private, peaceful patio for the primary bedroom with peaceful Pacific NW nature-filled views. There are two wonderful paths leading down to the private beach, and a picnic table for 12 on American Lake.

This property is well laid out with plenty of room for a larger group to spread out (we were only a group of 4). Loved the patio outdoor area and down by the waterfront for an evening glass of wine. Close proximity to The Home Course and Chambers Bay.

Wonderful relaxing home
It was a beautiful home with an interesting layout and beautiful views on the water. We walked down to the waters edge and the kids were able to see ducks and fish. The yard is so large they were able to play a small football game. I would book again if we are in the area.

Beautiful Location Beautiful Home!
This home is beautifully appointed and well stocked. The backyard is breathtaking. Magnificent view of the lake with Mount Ranier in the background. We spent hours watching the family of eagles in the trees at the edge of the property, along with other birds and squirrels. What a true gem this home is!

Room For Everyone
This house fit all 9 of us comfortably. The old house is a little creaky, but has lots of character. Having three bathrooms was a plus! It has absolutely everything. All the kitchen stuff you would need, lots a games and puzzles, a large deck and yard with lots of outdoor furniture and even a propane heater and fire table. We stayed there for my son's wedding at Thornewood Castle, and my whole family had a great time.

Idyllic vacation home
To stay here is like staying at your own lake house. They have everything you could think of to want or need. It is comfortable and eclectic and just a really cool house. The kitchen is fully stocked and a nice grill area. The back yard and patio area are supreme. You can’t ask for a more beautiful, peaceful yard with pleasing plantings and a majestic view of Rainier. When we were there an eagle was on the point each morning.

Nice for family weekend together
We liked the yard and view of Mt. Rainer when the clouds cooperated. The family room had several glass doors that allowed a nice open room and view of outside. The bedrooms were spacious for what we needed. The bedroom suite downstairs was very nice, bath, sitting area private patio. Three bedrooms up stairs were good . The stairs could be tricky if you're not nimble. The one big negative for us was lack of dining places in walking distance. There was one taco restaurant and a convenience store within a mile or so.

Amazing Property!
This property is absolutely gorgeous. There are views of the lake from the upstairs, kitchen, living room, and back patio and yard. You can see Mount Rainier rising up beyond the tree line across the lake. The yard is giant and the patio goes the length of the house. There’s a huge lawn with paths going down to the lake. The backyard is shaded with trees, which kept it a perfect temperature. The kitchen had about everything. we really didn’t use the living room as the outside was so beautiful. There are French doors all along the backside of the house for easy access wherever you are. We really appreciated the wheelchair accessibility. The ramp in the front of the house made it easy to get my elderly mother in the house. The downstairs bedroom had easy access to a bathroom with handles in the shower and by the toilet. It also had a little sitting area with a bed so I could sleep near her and keep an eye on her. When we had a problem with the Wi-Fi they sent someone else to fix it and didn’t give up and tell was taken care of. Great service. There is not a dock, but there are places to moor your boat on the lake. we were surprised at the small amount of lake traffic boats on the lake even during a warm sunny weekend. We loved it so much and really wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Stunning location, charming historical home
Clean home with great updates that was very accommodating for our group of 7 (three adult couples and one college student). We really enjoyed the beauty of the area. The house had absolutely everything we needed for cooking family meals. As with many old homes, the stairs are a little steep and there is a main floor bedroom for those who need to avoid stairs.

Amazing property
We recently stayed at this property while we were in town for a family funeral. The house and property were beautiful. I appreciated the ramp in the front, it was very helpful for my elderly mom and aunt, plus rolling up our luggage to the front door. The large main bedroom and bath are on the main level which accommodated the three not able to do stairs. The three bedrooms upstairs were comfortable and accommodated the other five in our party. The upstairs bathroom was large and worked well for us. The half bath by the main living area worked great for easy access when we were in that part of the house. The kitchen is well stocked and we found the built in cabinet separating the kitchen and dining room table to be very cleverly built. You can access dishes from both sides and had everything we needed including coasters, large coffee mugs and so much more! The view outside was so beautiful! Most of the time the sky was clear enough to see Mt Rainier…what a sight to see. We had some local family stop by for visits and they loved walking down the path to the lake and took beautiful pictures. Will definitely stay again! Thank you for such a wonderful place to stay. We absolutely loved it!!

A beautifully unique home that has everything
This beautiful property is one of the most unique locations I have ever stayed in. The main living space is a giant open room with kitchen, dining room and living room decorated with fantastic antique books and sports equipment. The kitchen is completely modern and was stocked with everything a foodie could possibly need. I have never stayed at a rental with a full-size kitchen-aid mixer, multiple toasters and blenders, sharp knives and enough place settings to feed 20 people. The bedrooms and laundry are located what I would call the "original house". This section of the property appears to be from the early 1900's and had been faithfully maintained. It was so nice to be able to leave the hustle and bustle of the main living space and retire to a quiet space. The entire bottom floor is set up as a grand master bedroom and ensuite with an attached office/laundry room. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, one of which has an office workspace. This worked perfectly for us as a few people needed to work during our stay. The outdoor space looked amazing, but due to the weather, we were unable to take advantage of the space. We cannot wait until we can stay at the American Dream again
