Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Washington

Super sweet place in a great, quiet area. Great communication from Host Justin.

My sister and I had a very relaxing stay. The house was cozy and very clean with fabulous views. The lilac was in bloom so everything smelled wonderful, too. The handbook is a bit vague in places (no list of recyclable items and no instructions for the for the hot tub) but the hosts were very responsive to questions. A very peaceful escape.

Jill’s home is hands down one of the best stays we’ve ever had! Everything about this beautiful home is A++. The location is fantastic — such an amazing neighborhood, with the house right in the center of the most desirable streets in all of Seattle. And the VIEWS! Wow! Pictures don’t do it justice. The location is also within walking distance of wonderful bakeries, restaurants and shops. And if you’re looking for a daily stroll, take your pick…soooo many gorgeous streets to wander and lovely neighborhood parks to enjoy. The beds are also extremely comfy and the third floor is a dream. We already miss our mornings and evenings sitting on the deck watching the boats and ferries glide by, along with the beautiful sunsets. Bottom line: Jill’s home is a special place. We can’t wait to return!

Booked on a whim to work and getaway for a night. Middle three kiddos decided to come with and we had a blast. This is now my family's new favorite secret spot. 10/10 Can't wait to stay for more days!

Fantastic getaway location that offered tremendous privacy. Extremely spacious house that was even bigger than the pictures made it look. House had everything we needed from plenty of towels to soap/spices/basic amenities. For those coming in the winter months, be aware that the drive up is extremely steep and I would highly recommend 4 wheel drive if there is snow or ice. Rita was extremely proactive and responsive with her communication! Definitely worth the stay for a small group looking for a peaceful place to escape.

We had a really wonderful stay in this rustic and romantic tiny home. Plenty of wood to stoke the fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The house itself was very comfortable and homey. We spent a lot of time around the ample kitchen table drinking coffee and chatting. The outdoor clawfoot tub was the highlight of the house. So much fun and so relaxing to take a hot soaker and listen to the complex soundscape of nature and people about their lives. Really though, the reason for the stay was the large secluded property to roam around on and the access to the magical private beach! So much nature and beauty. It's what living in the Northwest is all about! Highly recommend. We'd definitely stay here again!

From the moment I arrived I felt at home. Everything was perfect and it was so nice to be able to relax in such a comfortable and welcoming space. Thank you for making my birthday special.

Lee was a great host and was very communicative! Their home was beautiful and had plenty of space. The back yard was wonderful and we had the best time here. Thank you!!

Amaris is very responsive and helpful and her house is so spacious, clean and well maintained. My kids loved being able to take bubble baths in the oversized tubs and so did I🙂 We also loved the roof top deck and the view was so beautiful especially at night with all the city lights. The beds and comforters were so cozy I want to buy some like that for my own bed! Another thing we loved was after a busy day we could come back to a very quiet peaceful neighborhood home and rest. The location was perfect, within walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops. Lighthouse roasters made amazing coffees and have a really great vibe. We cannot recommend Amaris and her property highly enough. Will be staying there again.

Our stay began with a personal note and pastries from a local French bakery. The space was charming and homey. Renee was very responsive yet respected our space. We enjoyed the patio and garden area which was beautiful. Neighborhood was peaceful and walkable to nearby coffee shops. We left feeling like we made a friend.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location—just a short walk from the bus stop (we took it to Pike place) and some cozy cafes. Kelly was responsive and everything was as described. Would definitely book again!

Martha and her husband were so nice even though we only seen them twice during our week stay. Both times Martha was super friendly and knowledgeable. there were beautiful views from the back yard of the property and right down the road aswell. my girlfriend and i had a great time exploring the Olympic national park and whole peninsula from her place. we will definitely be back to this amazing state and would stay here again in the future. Thank you again.

Tricia’s place was super cute and cozy. Every little detail had been considered from soft furnishings to info brochures, games for inside or outside and even oatmeal, pancake mix, coffee creamer, water filter & even frozen treats like ice cream in the freezer! Tricia even messaged me and offered to bring me treats from the bakery! How kind and thoughtful. The bed was super comfy too, I rarely sleep well away from home but I did here! Thanks so much Tricia, you’re an amazing host, you certainly went above and beyond.

Stephen’s guesthouse was perfect. The neighborhood is charming and very walkable. The guesthouse was private, very clean and as lovely as the photos. I couldn’t be happier with my stay and I hope to return soon. Theresa

Perfect, peaceful, charming cabin on the water. The moment you walk in you can see straight through to the water. Comfy deck seating for watching the sunrise and sunset. Walk right on to the soft sand filled with seashells. We will definitely visit again!

Super sweet, personable hosts!!! Absolutely wonderful stay. I needed absolute peace and comfort after my awful work week...and it was perfect. The space is unique, peaceful, and so, so comfortable!! Felt right at home. 100% recommend!! 🫶🏼 Thank you.

The home is gorgeous. So tranquil and peaceful -- my family took a week-long vacation on Vashon and Brita's was the perfect jumping-off point. The location is super private, the home architecture is extraordinary, and the backyard garden is expansive. If you're looking for a great place to rest and recharge, this is it. There is a lot of great dishware, artistic elements in the home, and incredible views throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

Great place to stay and is very peaceful away from all the city noise and ruckus. This was my first time booking and trying an airbnb and the hosts definitely made it much easier to understand what to do and how everything works with this system as their instructions for check in and rules were clear and they were available to help and were very friendly

Lovely condo in Belltown near all the attractions! Loved the included parking for one car. Super secure building! The condo itself was great, plenty of space for four adults! Nice amenities including gym and pool and hot tub! Very walkable location! Would definitely stay again next time we are in Seattle!

Kory was a wonderful host who was highly communicative and ensured we had what we needed at check in and check out. We came in town for the Apple Cup at Lumen and a few games at T-Mobile and the location is an easy 10 min Uber. We left the Friday mariners game early but got to see all the fireworks from the balcony. Perfect spot if your plans include SoDo. Thank you, Kory!

I stayed in the condo for about a month, early April to early May, just before the tourist season in Seattle. At the end of my stay the cruise ships began to arrive. The condo itself is extremely compact but comfortable. Everything I needed was provided. When the bathroom faucet started dripping, Emma's husband replaced it. A friend came for a weekend, sleeping on the foldout bed. We cooked together in the kitchen. She complained about the birds chirping in the morning - where she lives in California there are few, here there is a lot of green and a lot of birds. The building has strict security rules. Never hold a door for someone else, everyone must use a fob to get in. Driving in and out of the garage, stop and wait for the door to close before driving on. The building is well-maintained and very clean. The location is fantastic for walking. In less than half an hour you can be anywhere in the downtown area. Even walking to Chinatown in the morning for dim sum was easy.

Peter is an excellent communicator! When we drove up to the home's gate we were very pleasantly surprised!!! The house is beautiful, very clean, and has an amazing view, plus we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. There's also a two-person hammock, pergola, various outdoor chairs and tables. The kitchen was very well-stocked and we loved all the art and cookie jars throughout the indoors. We've stayed at many Airbnbs and this property is the very best! You will not be disappointed. Near there is the Wild Felid Advocacy Center (book a visit online) that shelters tigers, mountain lions and other large and small cats. If you go there make sure you watch road signs and addresses since our navigation took us elsewhere. The only marker for WFAC is a cat paw print at car-height. What heartwarming memories we built there during our vacation. Paradise, simply put. Thank you, Peter.

Gayle and her staff were great! Their instructions were clear and thorough. They were friendly and very helpful in helping us have a great experience in visiting Seattle and the surrounding areas. My family and friends were thrilled with our stay!

The view was amazing and the location easy to find. If we had the time and the weather was nice we would just sit out on the balcony and just watch the marketplace bustle. The space was clean and many essentials were provided. We utilized the pool/hot tub/gym daily which was super nice after all the walking we did during the day. Target being downstairs was also very convenient especially since I needed to grab another luggage cause I ran out of space in the one I brought. The only complaints I might have is that it can be quite loud at night and I was woken up quite a few times. However, ear plugs are provided though I didn't use them because they get uncomfortable after a few hours. We had no actual issues but it can also feel a bit unsafe at night if you're out late due to the homeless population though that is not a fault of the hosts. Despite that I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Just the view and convenience outweighs anything else.
