Cozy Lakeside Cottage 1.5 hours from Seattle

We enjoyed our stay here. It was great waking up and seeing the lake. Would definitely come back here next time we race at the Ridge.

We loved our four‑night stay! The cottage was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. Waking up to the lake views was incredible, and evenings by the fire were a highlight. The private dock made it easy to enjoy the water, and the location felt like a peaceful escape while still close to Seattle. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!We just returned from a wonderful four‑night stay at this lakeside cottage, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The home is spotless, well‑equipped, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and the living space was cozy yet spacious enough for our group.The highlight was the setting—waking up to serene views of Lost Lake each morning was unforgettable. We loved spending time around the wood-burning stove in the evenings, and the private dock made it easy to enjoy the water during the day. The stairs down to the lake are a bit of a workout, but the reward at the bottom is absolutely worth it.The location was also perfect: just a short drive from Seattle, but it felt like a peaceful retreat far from the city. Communication with the hosts was smooth and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.After four nights here, we left feeling refreshed and already talking about when we can come back. I highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.

Absolutely wonderful property and excellent owners. SO clean, comfortable, maintained, & thoughtfully prepared. Softest towels I've ever had in a vacation rental by far. Really it feels like the owners put a lot of consideration into the big and little things that make a difference. We had abit of a hiccup with the thermostat but the owners were super responsive and got a fix in place as soon as it was possible to do so.There are a LOT of stairs down to the dock, but kept in good repair, just keep in mind for any mobility challenged guests. We had a great time with our own kayaks every day, but they do have kayaks and life jackets there in the boathouse if you need. Will definitely stay again, thanks so much Kate and John!

A friend and I gave our sons a break from the city and on-line games, and they delighted in the lake and swimming. Being able to use the kayaks was a great opportunity. This property is meticulously maintained, and very thoughtful.

The pictures of Kate's place don't do it justice. Everything was immaculate, new/proper working order, every necessity and detail you could think of was provided for which made for one of our most extremely comfortable stays at a VRBO. Even tennis balls and dog bowls for our 4-legged family member. We loved the friendly, small-town feel of the neighborhood. Going for walks, fishing, bbq'ing on the deck, reading a good book, and playing board games together were the only things on our agenda and we loved every minute of it. Many adventures were had and the kids now have many fond memories to come home with. We hope to return soon! Thanks, Horn family! -Ko & Rhoda

It was our second time to stay here and we really love it. We appreciate that Kate and family have thought about every little thing in the house. We were able to take advantage of the kayaks this time and explore the lake. The place is very quiant and peaceful. If you want a home away from home, this is it.

Wonderful location, house, community, and hosts. Couldn't have been more perfect way to start the year.

The Christmas weekend at Lake Lost was an unforgettable experience. The home was decorated for Christmas. When we arrived, Friday, the landscape was green and beautiful. Saturday, December 25, we woke up with snow, and the landscape was white. Our days at the Cottage were full of enjoying the view wherever we were, living room, dining room, and bedroom. There is a good space around the Cottage where we could enjoy the snow and take a lot of pictures. The Cottage is very well equipped, with all that we need for the weekend. We cooked, we prepared a beautiful Christmas Eve table, with the fireplace on. Saturday, even with the snow, when it stopped for an hour we made an amazing barbecue on the balcony, that barbecue was epic! The shower and beds were also very good, we slept very well. Sunday, we needed leave, with a lot of snow (and Kate helped us get on the road safely) with the memory of a great weekend and thinking when we can go back to the Cozy Lake Cottage.

The house is exactly as seen in the pictures. The decor is beautiful and has everything we needed. The welcome treats were a nice thing to come into. The host is great with communication when needed. The views of the lake was everything my soul needed to get away and decompress. My husband and I plan on coming back next year a bit earlier in the year to enjoy all of the amenities the boat house has to offer.

This is a lovely location overlooking the lake. The home is very well maintained and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The owner was fantastic!

This place was so perfect for our family vacation. It was clean and welcoming. The lake was so beautiful and my family appreciated the use of the Kyaks. We never had to leave because the house had everything we needed for the long weekend. Kate was easy to get ahold of and she was very accommodating. Thank you Kate for opening up your home to us.
