    Great staycation for the family. Swimming out front of the property was fabulous. We did not end up using the boat launch as is was too tight with the size of our boat. There are tons of stumps under the water that at first seemed terrifying, but owners were great at helping us understand where to navigate, and was less stressful than we anticipated. Had everything we needed and kids LOVED kayaking and the little water trampoline just off the shore. Lots to explore!

    This house was everything we hoped for and more. Situated right on the lake with a large flat yard that is perfect for games. The house also exceed our expectations and had everything we neeeded for a weekend stay. We were pleasantly surprised at the interior and found it plenty roomy for 8 adults to cook and spend time together. We will definitely be back next year!

    It was a wonderful vacation for our family reunion. The property was perfect in size, location, set-up, amenities (kayaks and life jackets were great to have on the property), and the kitchen was nicely stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, etc.Only suggestion: Master bath, stairwell leading downstairs, & outdoor lighting need light bulbs replaced, lower level vertical blinds did not work.We hope to return in the future.

    House and location were perfect! We enjoyed the backyard and kayaks with our family. Dock and access to the lake were very convenient for our boat. We had an incredible time!

    We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The house was perfect - clean, spacious, fully stocked. The layout is great for for two families to spread out but also provides perfect gather spaces. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to cook for and serve a group of 8. The lakefront setting is the best part about this property. The sunset view is AMAZING! Our family spent hours and hours in the water, kayaking, paddle boarding, and just floating around. We had a boat to explore the lake and discovered the most stunning view of Mt Rainier just around the corner. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy everything this property has to offer!

    Excellent property in a great location! The property is spacious and very clean with a big back yard. Amazing sunset views as well. The Host was very helpful with specific questions regarding docking a boat at the property as well as general information.

    Due to its prime location and pristine setting, the “HomeAway” Lake Tapps House provided the ideal opportunity for my visiting family to experience the complete Pacific Northwest summertime experience we've grown to love and enjoy. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. Highly recommend +. 5 stars!
