If you want to be right on the waterfront this is the place to be. The suite is accessed at the back using some steps on the side of the house. The lawn is expansive with lots of space to sit on a deck at the water as well as on a floating dock. Was lovely to sit at the kitchen table and look out onto the water. The suite is very private and quiet. It is close to the Gorge walkway and easy to get downtown. This is a basement suite so the sun never came in , at least not this time of year. But looking out and seeing the water is an easy trade off.
