Ian's house is in a quiet area at Lake Washington. Beach access and the Burke-Gilman Trail is accessible within a short distance, grocery shopping is just minutes away. The drive to downtown Seattle can take a long time in the morning but if the I5 is free you will be there in like 20 minutes.
The house is not the newest but it is very well maintained. The Bedrooms are not that big and there are lot of stairs, what I liked a lot, because every room has it's unique view at the lake or at the area.
The kitchen is excellent equipped, the appliances are mostly premium grade. Also the BBQ area is spotless and a real joy to use.
And then there is the the hall right across the kitchen where you will find not only a big weird shaped heated pool but a sauna and a hot tub as well. And this is what is absolutely amazing at this house. You will wake up, jump into the pool, have a hike in the area, come back, jump in the pool again having a bath in the hot tub from which you will have a fabulous view at the lake by the way, etcetera, you get the idea.
The Pool is equipped with some tubes, water guns and other stuff. There is also a bathroom and two showers in the pool building.
I would absolutely recommend Ian's house to every family. If you are looking for a nice relaxing accommodation for some very nice vacation days in the north of Seattle and Ian's house is available: book it.
