Comfy place to stay for a trip to PNW. Very comfortable beds and pillows, nicely furnished kitchen, and excellent shower pressure! Very clean with all the comforts of home.
My mother lives nearby, so it’s really convenient to have Barb’s rental so close. It’s perfect for me and I really enjoy having my own space with so much family staying at my mom’s house. This property is very quiet, comfortable and clean, it feels like my home away from home!
My husband and I stayed while visiting friends in the area and this home was perfect. Quiet, very comfortable, and spotless. The neighborhood is quiet and safe to walk around and we enjoyed daily walks in the nature-filled area. The hosts were lovely - responsive and accommodating. While we were hesitant to stay at a property where the hosts were on-site, it was not an issue at all. I never met Barb, but George was lovely and welcoming. We would definitely stay again if in the area.
I needed a place to stay close to my family for a few days. I feel so very lucky to have found Barb’s rental. It was a more wonderful& quiet respite than I ever expected. Also, very clean and comfortable, everything was better than described. I will definitely be back!
This is a nice property. We rented it to be near our daughter in Buckley for a few weeks but due to a truck damaging a bridge near Enumclaw, our drives stretched from an expected 15-20 minutes to 30-60 minutes depending on traffic. (That is worth looking at before you rent in the immediate future.) The property is big and private with a responsive host. It is located in a highly residential neighborhood and we drove to local parks and hiking trails instead of walking the narrow roads, which was not an issue. There is no live tv so bring your logins to Prime, Hulu, Disney or whatever you use. You can occasionally hear the host family that lives above you but it wasn’t a big deal. The place was well stocked with all we needed and the entrance was private. Shopping for most of your needs is roughly 10 minutes drive away.
The property was clean, spacious, and in a quiet neighborhood. There were many nice details including the high quality kitchenware and pretty flower pots in the courtyard.
Exceptional accomadations. Top tier, roomy, and private and serene. Our hosts couldn’t have been more friendly or thoughtful. We plan and spending time at this gorgeous apartment again.
We really enjoyed our time ,the apartment was located near a park that was perfect for our family . We had a Very restful time and there Was easy access to stores and restaurants . It was clean , well decorated and we were so glad to be there .

Very nice place to stay
Everything with this 4 night trip went smoothly. Hosts are attentive. Apartment is very inviting. Great location for our purposes. Hope to stay again our next trip to Seattle. Thank you for your hospitality.
Wonderful,very clean, and private, with well stocked kitchen. I especially liked the Kurig coffee maker that was provided! We recommend this house to anyone, and it was less expensive than a Hotel!
The check-in and checkout process was easy, Peezy. The kitchen was very organized and had everything we need. The unit is more spacious than it appears in the pictures. A perfect 10!

Everything we hoped for!
Perfect VRBO! Quiet. Peaceful. Immaculate. Beautiful surroundings. Our first trip to Washington and this was the perfect place to stay! Thank you.
My husband and I had a great stay for a long weekend at this apartment in the Covington area south east of Seattle. So many recreational activities in the area and just about 30-45 minutes from Seattle. The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated, spacious, and the kitchen was thoroughly stocked. George and Barb were very helpful and available if needed. The yard is beautiful. Very quiet and private. We will definitely be back—great place to stay and see our adult children in Seattle.

Amazing Value
This unit is spacious and very well maintained. The location is second to none with a wonderful lake just a short walk to the north. Walking or running on the neighborhood streets was a quiet and beautiful experience. The unit was clean and had new appliances and furnishings. It was conveniently located close to restaurants, hiking, and shopping. We had 3 adults in our party and the Owner surprised us with a second bedroom fully furnished in lieu of the advertised aero-matress! It was heaven!!

Beautiful!
From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed. There was sweet tea, water and fresh cream in the frig. There was also a bowl of fresh fruit. Our second night George built us a fire in the firepit for smores, he even made us sticks for our marshmallows. We truly felt like queens. Our four days there were so peaceful and relaxing, we really hated to leave. I have been using VRBO for at least 8 years and this is the nicest place I have ever stayed. Thank you so much George and Barb for sharing your beautiful home.

Beautiful place & wonderful hosts!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The apartment itself is very open and lovely, and feels completely like your own private space from the main home, along with your own private yard and patio. Beautifully decorated, cheerful, and comfortable interior. The landscape and community was gorgeous-- especially noticeable to our family as we are newcomers to WA. We had an extended stay at this rental while moving to WA and trying to find a long-term rental home in the area. The owners were absolutely amazing, and so welcoming. They brought us home-roasted coffee (yum!), and even assisted us with resources to help find our next home in WA. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations & hospitality. We also had our 2 year old & infant with us, and they didn't complain about noisy babies at all! We highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to explore this beautiful area.
