Top Lake McDonald Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Seattle-Issaquah

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was wonderful, the staff was fantastic, and the breakfast was absolutely first class! This was my second stay here within the last 90 days, and once again, it was a wonderful experience. The staff deserves special recognition for their warm hospitality and dedication to making guests feel welcome. That kind of service makes such a difference and is a big reason I was happy to return. The breakfast was another highlight—a delicious way to start the day! It’s always a pleasure to find a hotel you look forward to visiting again. I would gladly stay here on my next trip and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming place to stay. FIVE STARS without question!!!"

Rainier View Lodge - Mountain View Suite in Scenic Issaquah ｜ Seattle gateaway

10/10 Excellent

"This place is extremely well thought out. Kudos for thinking of every possible thing. Very cozy and comfortable. Owners are highly involved and enjoyed hearing how my stay was."

Private house, no stairs, large deck, 5 watercraft hiking trails, private dock

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time. We stayed 6 nights and used the property as our home base. We spent 2 days just relaxing on the property enjoying the lake and the trails that are just up the hill. The other days, we took day trips. The location was very convenient. The house itself and the grounds are well maintained, and John and Patti were very gracious hosts."

Spacious 5BR Retreat w/ Sunshine & Lush Green near Bellevue, Seattle and Airport

8/10 Good

"A well appointed older home with an amazingly communicative and responsive host. The only issue we had was a few plugs were not working, but nothing that changed the stay. The kitchen was perfect for the eight of us to cook in and we found every thing you needed to cook our various meals. The location is pretty central to everything, no drive took over 20-30 minutes. A few more throw blankets would make the upcoming colder weather nicer so the guests do not have to turn up the house heat (I like it cold when I sleep ... others, who knows). Thank you again for hosting us."

Beautiful and Spacious!Your Home Away from Home. With AC

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in this home very much. It was perfect as we were there for my grand daughters wedding and wanted a home big enough to house all my children and grandkids. The grand girls really enjoyed the entertainment room as they could all have a sleep over together in there. It was nice that there were 3 nice bathrooms for us all to get ready for the big day. The home was also nicely located to all our events and I was very happy with the contacts and replies that I promptly received from our host. I would definitely recommend this home if you have the need for several people staying together in the same place. It was a nice floor plan and when in each bedroom it was very quiet."
