Carter' home is a fantastic place due to it can make you want to stay there forever. First day, we had some trouble to get there and night wind was so cold. Therefore, when I entered the house, I was touched! Warm air was full of everywhere and floor heating brought my body and heart totally into the house. Moreover, the view was incredible opening and beautiful, I could see entire lake and "dome" sky that decorated a lot of stars. I recommend that huddle up in sofa and drink a tea/coffee; take a bubble bath which is in master bedroom during a raining day of Seattle. Furthermore, the house has a bit of far away downtown, renting a car is probably better choice.
