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.

Beautiful relaxing place to be!
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.
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.
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.
Very nice. Nice and quiet and a wonderful place to stay.
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.
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!
We enjoyed our stay tremendously! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The view from the back was amazing!!!
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.
Everything about our stay at this property was great

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
