Blue Heron Lakehouse: Private Waterfront Retreat Near Seattle

Exceptional property and gracious hosts! We hosted our family for the Thanksgiving week which included people from 7 to 90 years old. The space was perfect. The young adults made good use of the boathouse, kayaks, hot tub, and game room. As a foodie family, one of the concerns with rentals is always the quality and variety of cookware and utensils. We were able to put on a tremendous feast. Beautiful sunrises, eagles and herons and ducks galore, great spots to sit and read and ponder the beauty and mysteries of life. Hosts were always available for questions and speedy to help when we needed anything. This is the best VRBO/vacation rental I have experienced. Thank you from our entire family for allowing us to have “best Thanksgiving ever.”

I came with my family and we had an amazing stay! The view was gorgeous, the kitchen was very well equipped, the outside areas were perfect for a large group with plenty of different seating arrangements all with perfect views of the lake. Overall we loved our stay at Blue Heron and will for sure come back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Heron Lake House. The home has spectacular views of Lake Sammamish and the property is perfectly appointed for large groups looking to spend quality time together in a beautiful setting. Leslie and Brian were lovely hosts, their passion for this home and it's beautiful surroundings were evident in every detail prior to and and during our stay. The only opportunity would be the air conditioning. There were some particularly hot days during our stay and the air conditioning was not powerful enough to keep the house cool during the peak temperatures of the day. In all other respects, we give this property top marks!

This house is amazing! The views are stunning, amenities galore, very comfortable and functional… it couldn’t have been better. Also, Leslie is AWESOME! Work trip this time, vacation with family and friends next time :-)

For the first time, our company has no complaints about a property. Highly recommended!

The property itself was amazing! All the rooms were well kept and clean. The house came with everything you need for a short or long stay and we were close enough to grocery stores that it was never a hassle to get anything. The hosts were amazing and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I had accidentally left something and Brian let me know I left them and graciously sent them to my house! They definitely care about the property and the people who stay here. If we ever go back to the area, we will be booking here. Location was perfect for people who want to be close to the city but not so close they hear constant noise or see a bunch of traffic. The house itself had plenty of room, great water pressure, heated floors and access to the lake. We had kids on this trip and they had a blast with the hot tub, included board games, and bunkbed room. The kitchen had all of the cookware you could ask for and better quality than most rental places. FYI if you are not from the area and less about the property itself The driveway is steep and so if you have a car make sure it’s 4 wheel drive when it rains or you will have trouble getting it out of the driveway. I’m from Florida and we definitely don’t think about this steep type of driveways. Thankfully Brian helped us down and up to make sure we could get our luggage out. I would strongly recommend this propert!

Family reunion. Everything in this beautiful home was well organized, neat, clean and tidy. The view of the lake is amazing. We stayed for 4 nights & enjoyed every minute. Thank you to Leslie & Brian for a lovely time at your home.

We had a wonderful time at the house, lots of space for the small kids and all the adults. Kayak’s were fun and we even had our sons boat to use. The steep driveway was a bit of a challenge, thankful for the stairs to get to the upper parking spaces. The house and its accommodations made it worth the climb. All in all a perfect home for a big family. Thanks to David & Leslie

We had a wonderful stay with our family at the Blue Heron lake house. Hosts were amazing with communication and ideas for our stay. The outdoor spaces exceed expectations and the lake is a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get the best of Seattle while enjoying the natural beauty of the lake.

Great communication with the owner throughout the entire process. The home is beautiful and the views spectacular. House has everything you need. The kayaks were a great way to enjoy the lake. The driveway was exciting, but also has parking on the street level. Would highly recommend the home for family and groups.
