Holiday rentals with a kayak in Artondale

It a wonderful visit! The beauty surrounding this place is amazing. We saw so much wildlife. Will definitely consider staying here again when we visit family.

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Stayed here for a hiking trip with friends and loved it! The house is cute, cozy, and perfectly located—secluded with beautiful water views, but still just 15-20 mins from Gig Harbor’s shops and restaurants. After long hikes, soaking in the hot tub was amazing. The host was also incredibly responsive and shared lots of helpful info. Only thing missing was a washer/dryer, but it wasn’t a big deal. Great stay overall.

Relaxed and beautiful location for our family of 3 plus dog. The trek from the house to the beach was, fast and easy with the paddleboards - even the dog enjoyed being out on the water! Lots of room to hangout and have fun. The karaoke battle was pretty epic! Thanks Mike & Eva!

We loved the space. Great views. Windows for days. We even measured some spaces in the house to incorporate into our home build. It’s not a large home but it feels so spacious with all the natural light. Truly feels like home. It’s not a cheap rental but the value is all there. We would love to return sometime! Zero complaints and I’d highly recommend the stay for anyone looking to visit the area.

Gail's place was amazing as a retreat to celebrate my son's 18th birthday and high school graduation. We enjoyed the water and the kayaks that were available. Coffee was available (I forgot to bring my own!) and abundant towels. We lacked absolutely nothing. Additionally, when one of the guests forgot his wallet, Gail responded with an updated code to get in and grab it before we got too far on the road.

Overall great place. Outside furniture a little dirty, but otherwise no complaints.

Thank you Maria for being a wonderful host. Our family had a wonderful stay plenty of room at the house, very clean and things to do around the lake. We will definitely come back for another family trip. Again thank you Maria for providing a quiet, relaxing home.

Beautiful and well-maintained property. Great, attentive and thoughtful hosts. Had the best lake life for the weekend!

We had a lovely stay at Cassandra and Eric's cottage. The space is cozy and bright. The location is very private and tranquil, well off the highway with numerous hikes close by. The view is truly the highlight. We were riveted by the nearby eagle activity! The beds are extremely comfortable and everyone slept well. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay! The deep sea / blue theme was so welcoming, and the location right on the shore was beautiful. Lots of birds and eagles and cute animals on the property. I fell in love with Edgar the black cat! Margo and Sam are so kind and wonderful. Highly recommend for a single person, 2 close friends, or couple's getaway!

I visited the cottage to escape the city for a few days. This place is absolutely adorable— completely drenched in natural sunlight. It manages to maintain its historical charm while also feeling modern. I did some remote work during the visit & the WiFi worked perfectly— I could even get signal sitting outside. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the water, but even just sitting outside on the floating dock or the balcony provided a lot of peace. This place is the perfect mixture of providing a secluded feel while still being just a short drive to grocery/ restaurants. I truly loved my stay here & am already trying to figure out when I might be back!

We celebrated a birthday here with 5 adults and a newborn, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home is beautifully decorated with such kindness and thought—it felt incredibly cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We spent our days kayaking on the water, spotting seals, birds, and even a curious raccoon who came to visit the porch during dinner! It was such a special feeling to be so close to nature, yet so comfortable at the same time. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook delicious dinners together, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the house. My guests kept commenting on how much love clearly went into this home. And the deck… absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t have wished for a better birthday. Truly a magical and memorable stay—we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful place and amazing view. Enjoyed being right on the water - rooms, decks, fire pit(s), and hot tub were amazing. Really enjoyed watching the sea otters in the Sound. Well cared for place.

I wish we had had more time in Lake Tapps and our stay there. You couldn’t ask for a better lakeside view and sunsets! The space was a good size for two adults and was in great condition. Very clean. Complimentary snacks and available use of kayaks, SUPs, fire pit, etc. were a nice touch, even if we didn’t get the chance to utilize all of them! Suzy was super nice and super responsive. If we find ourselves in or around Seattle again, I hope we can go back!

Wonderful stay. Beautiful surroundings and very cozy and comfortable house and furnishings. Really nice to have a hot tub right there with a view! Great for a big family or small group. Kitchen was very well supplied. Lots to do right around the property. Hosts had everything very organized and easy to follow. Would 100% stay again!

Though previous guest lost 2 canoe, the host informed me the situation. The place let us forget the pity and we really had great time.

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

Stunning views, a lot of water activities. The place is cute and comfortable, will come back!

This was such a lovely place to spend our honeymoon. Surrounded by nature in every direction, waking up to birds chirping and a beautiful lake view. There were so many small details, from extra toothbrushes and a blow dryer in the bathroom to twinkle lights on the patio for a romantic evening outside. Jordyn was so responsive and helpful! Thanks for a great stay.

My new wife and I spent a BEAUTIFUL couple of days at this cabin and it was more than we could have imagined. Very peaceful, got to watch the seals and even got lucky enough to spot a pod of Orcas while sitting in the hot tub!

Molly was the most helpful host, the drive way sneaks up on you but if you read all the items before check in youll know exactly what to look for. The photos Molly provided were so helpful and she was extremely understanding and responsive. The space was absolutely PEACEFUL and perfect for families. The amount of items left for guests to use made everything very simple, lifejackets in all sizes including little pups, kitchen items and plenty of towels. If you can't figure something out through pictures or the check in binder, Molly is right there friendly and ready to help.

This was the perfect place to unplug and unwind for a few days. The view from the house was incredible, and a beautiful local beach was less than a 5 minute walk away. The beds are so comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking at home. We really enjoyed biking down to the dock to take the kayaks out each day and didn't need our car once. Although we didn't see any whales on this trip, we did see plenty of seals and ospreys. We would highly recommend to a couple or family looking for a quiet getaway.

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!
