Make memories and unwind in this quiet retreat, tucked among the trees in a private garden at the end of a cul-de-sac. Set on a third-acre lot with more than hundred local species of plants and trees, furnished with brand-new mid-century modern furniture, 2 gas fireplaces and a large deck, this house is a great option for a family or 2 couples in search of a private respite. The house is equipped with new gas furnace, heat pump with central Air conditioning, and a tankless water heater.
<br>Inside, discover an open layout with two gas fireplaces, a well-equipped, full kitchen, a dining area with a table with space for six, a living area with a 55 smart TV for streaming your favorite channels, a second living room to enjoy the sunset over the garden and a large desk to catch-up on work or writing.

Outside, fire up your gas grill and enjoy a summertime cookout. Lounge in the hammock or in the Adirondack chairs for some peaceful moments in the garden. For a more active time, you’re welcome to use the public tennis court located just 100 feet away from the property. The tennis court is on the grounds of Lake Forest Park Elementary school and accessible to the public during school days after 4pm, or during week-ends and school holidays. There is also a playground for your little ones and basketball courts on the school grounds, available after school hours. Take your bike and hop on the Burke Gilman Trail just 2 miles away from the house, for a scenic ride along Lake Washington shore all the way to downtown Seattle (south) or the wineries in Woodinville (north). Lake Washington also offers multiple options for kayaking or paddle boarding.

Centrally located, you'll be able to explore both the wonderful Pacific North West nature and best Seattle attractions. Many hikes, skiing and snow-shoeing available in the winter within 1.5 hour drive. Snow shoes available at house for guests’ use.

    Let's start by saying WOW, this property is so beautiful and relaxing. Everything about this home is just perfect for vacation. We visit Seattle and surrounding areas often and this is probably one of my all time favorite places. Communication was great, all the rooms are a great size and very comfy beds. We would highly recommend!

    Our recent stay was delightful. The home has plenty of natural light, including 2 large skylights. Beautiful plants and trees were blooming and even labeled-the views from every room were just gorgeous. The house is very accessible and would be good for all ages. Multiple outdoor seating and decks for outside entertainment; we didn’t use the gas grill that was thoughtfully provided. Located close to local restaurants and the new light rail station at Shoreline north is another bonus. AC was appreciated in the warm temps.

    Very nice stay. The house was very nice and well equipped. Plenty of dishes and bowls. Nice gas range for cooking. The beds were great with plenty of good pillows. The hosts were very responsive even though we did not need much. The house was mid century modern with appropriate furniture. There were two nice gas fireplaces to take the chill off. Great stay. We will definitely use this again.

    We traveled from GA for my daughter’s wedding in Gig Harbor and the house was exactly as pictured. The yard was so beautiful and we enjoyed it as well. Communication was excellent before & after we left and it was so nice walking in and having a handwritten note & bottle of wine from the owners welcoming us. We enjoyed everything about this house & will definitely stay here again in the future.

    The house was clean and the yard was really beautiful... Enjoyed the benches and hidden spots in the garden. I brought my 4 year old grandson on this trip. He was excited about the puzzles, Legos, and story books that were provided. The house had a little something for everyone.Thanks for a great stay.... The quick getaway was fun.

    Well-kept and updated ranch style home in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Indoors are nicely decorated and beds are comfortable. We visited during a heat wave so air conditioning was the best! Outside yard and gardens were outstanding! Melinda and Christian were attentive to our needs. Thank you for a great WA vacation!

    Very clean, great for families and good location. We were in town for a wedding and this property was an excellent place to unwind from all the chaos. There were toys games and books for our 4 year old grandson, walking distance to playground and a pizza place for good food. Kitchen was stocked well with cooking devices and the laundry room worked well. The host was very gracious and asked on multiple occasions if we needed anything.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The home is clean and nicely maintained. The beds were comfortable with lots of pillows. We found everything we needed in the kitchen; it was well supplied. The yard is absolutely lovely! And it’s on a nice quiet street with plenty of parking. Our elderly parents were with us, so it was nice to all be on one level with no stairs. The bathroom and shower in the back were easy to get in and out of which was good for them. The hosts were very helpful and good about communicating in a timely manner. I highly recommend staying here.

    What a beautiful home and property. We loved every single thing. Highlights: The amazing landscaping, what a joy to see the names of plants added to the landscape. The open layout inside and deck areas outside. Amazing location! We were in town for a concert at Chateau St Michelle on Friday evening and wanted to spend Saturday being tourists in Seattle. We loved this location. Thank you for the absolutely delightful home!

    We were in town for several days for a family wedding celebration. Communication with the owner was terrific - prompt and helpful. The location was fantastic, close to everything including the venues, the lake and Burke Gilman trail. We loved the house, relaxing in the hammock on the deck, the amenities, the beautiful gardens and architecture.

The house was very clean with a light and airy feel. There are many windows and sliding glass doors which allowed for the perfect amount of natural sunlight. 10/10 recommend!

Their home met our needs perfectly, and we appreciated their warmth in communication and accommodation. The house was well equipped, spacious, and perfect for our family of 4. Thank you!

    My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Christian and Melinda’s Lake Forest Park home. The home had an ideal layout - perfect for my family of four - and was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed coffee by the fireplace in the mornings and appreciated its central location to many restaurants, breweries, and various locations in and around Seattle. Christian and Melinda were great hosts - made check-in and check-out a breeze, and communicated consistently with us throughout the stay to be sure we had everything we needed.We’ll certainly stay here again next time we are in Seattle! Thank you!

    It is a very neat and homey place, perfect for our family with teenagers who appreciate ample of personal space while giving lots of areas for family activities. Other than a little bit aged cabinets which are fully functional, this place is highly recommended. We can imagine our family returning for an even longer stay.

    We had a wonderful stay with 6 adults and a 4 month old. There was a pack and play available which made travel much easier for us. The home is true to its pictures - well decorated and clean. The outdoor space is beautiful as well and we saw 3 deer on the property. Check in and check out instructions were clear and easy. Christian and Melinda are very communicative and quick to fix any issues.
