Amboy, Washington
Our Lakewood home is located on 5 secluded acres, in a private gated community, and in the heart of the Mount Saint Helens Recreational area. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful area. Lake Merwin and Yale Lake with their parks, boat ramps, and beaches are less than 2 miles away. They offer numerous swimming, boating, kayaking, and other water activities. Additional activities include visiting Mount Saint Helens, fishing, mountain biking, golfing (at Lewis River Golf Course) and enjoying a wide variety of amazing hikes complete with gorgeous views and spectacular water falls. Old growth forests, Swift Reservoir, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, are also relatively close to name just a few of the other popular destinations. The nearby Ape Caves are also a unique and popular destination for both children and adults. In the winter Marble Mountain Snow park is open for cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and snow mobiles. You will find many other detailed suggestions for this truly beautiful area in our Welcome Binder to help make your stay a special and memorable time for all.
After a fun day of adventure you can return to the Lakewood house and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful evening which could include a soak in the hot tub or a barbeque on the back patio while taking in the territorial view. You could also gather together with family and friends around the giant fire pit as you gaze at the stars. Deer and elk regularly make appearances in our meadow and wander across the property.
The Lakewood home was built in 2015 and has 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, plus an additional bonus room with T.V., games, and movies. A covered back patio, hot tub, fire pit area, barbecue and open meadow are available for your outdoor enjoyment. The home is complete with a fully furnished kitchen, entertainment system, surround sound, WIFI, a fire place, and board games and movies which can be enjoyed by guests of all ages.
This home has an exterior security camera covering the driveway and parking area. Manager has a home in the community. Parties and additional undisclosed guests prohibited.
My family and I (and our dog Pepper) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lakewood over the Thanksgiving Holiday! The home was even more beautiful and spacious and the views more breathtaking than the photos. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay, including all the kitchen items we needed to make a Thanksgiving feast. We really enjoyed the fire pit and had plenty of firewood!! The drive from Vancouver WA to the property was very scenic and took only one hour. We did not have any problems finding or accessing the rental. The country store was about 10 minutes and was stocked with the essentials and a deli. I highly recommend this rental for larger families and those seeking a peaceful retreat from the city but not that far away. There are plenty of beds available and room to spread out. Looking forward to another stay in the future!
We had a lovely stay at Lakewood. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Lovely house. Pretty, peaceful area.
The house was great once we found it. We arrived after dark and discovered after walking the entire lane that it’s the only house number that is not illuminated. The house numbers are not in order and this house number sign was posted above another that is illuminated. We never did figure out how to get anything to stream on tv - ended up watching the DVD’s. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed the hot tub.
The home was beautiful, spacious and had everything that we could possibly need. The area was gorgeous and we found multiple hikes not too far from the property. We started with the Ape Caves, Trail of Two Forest and June Lake. The following day we drove up to Lewis River Falls and hiked all three waterfalls. Absolutely beautiful. The hot tub was much needed after all those miles on our feet.
The house is literally in the middle of a forest. It is very quiet and private. The bedrooms are very adaptable for adults and kids. We highly recommend the house.
My family came to visit me from Texas and Wisconsin. We had a wonderful time. Beautiful house beautiful surroundings beautiful location
The Lakewood house was everything that was promised. It's a great place for accessing Mt. St. Helens and the Gifford Pinchot forest. For us it was a quiet setting for a small staff retreat where we could plan and play together. The house was very clean, sleeping arrangements were accommodating, and we didn't have a single issue that distracted from our time together. Even the toddler managed well in the house. Getting in and out was easy, and communication with the owner was prompt and pleasant. Highly recommended!
The house was a wondeful place for family and friends to gather. Playroom and bunkbeds for the kids, open kitchen and dinning, and hot tub for adults. We loved the option for a firepit and smores if the weather/burn status allowed.
Spacious house with a well stocked kitchen. Great place to stay.
Love this home!
Total relaxation, and centrally located for our sites to be visited. Loved our visit!
We enjoyed our stay but a few notes: we never were sent gate access so were left at gate for a LONG time until we LUCKILY accessed by another resident leaving. Would have been TERRIBLE had that not happened. Other things: 1. Please upgrade bedding, pillows, mattresses. They all seemed very worn, old, cheap. and not up to par with nightly rental fee. We are not bedding snobs but these were simply bad. 2. Would be nice to have one room with a KING. 2. Need new hair dryer. One was TINY 2. Soaps for showers? Seems pretty standard these days 3. We bought some foil and left it behind. Again, pretty standard item to keep on hand.
The home, property and amenities where all we could have hoped for.
This is an awesome VRBO property! Beautiful. Well stocked. Perfect place to sit at the end of a day of touring Mt. St. Helens, fishing, hiking... Our son, who owns a VRBO property in Big Sky, plans on returning. That says something about the quality of this home.
The views from the living room alone is enough for 5 stars. The house is huge and comfortable furnishe, clean and obviously cared for. The kitchen is fully stocked and I was able to cook full meals for 7 people easily. The directions and communications from the owners were clear and easy to follow. The location is perfect for exploring Mt. St. Helen's and the hot tub is a delight afterwards. Thank you for having us, we do hope to be back!
