What a beautiful place and wonderful hosts. The views were stunning as you can see in the pictures. The amenities are just as you would expect in a place like this. We were weighing between an hotel room with a view, or a place like this, and we are so glad we chose this place. The costs were roughly the same, but this was much more private with easy parking, and a fully equipped apartment. There is not direct access to the water, (there are train tracks that go along the shore in that part of Seattle, but the noise was not objectionable) but there is a park nearby with access (which has a man bridge over the tracks). The lawn and landscaping was first class and the upscale fire pit provided warmth after the sun went down. It was very relaxing. It would have not been relaxing with small children in my opinion, but perfect for us celebrating our wedding anniversary. Dennis and Martie (International business professionals) are gems, and after just a few minutes of conversation and some wine we seems like old friends. And we loved meeting their grown son and his wife, both professionals in the Seattle area. The conversation was very broad and stimulating. Yet they were very respectful of our time and how we wanted to interact. A perfect balance. We loved the weekend and would highly recommend this place and the hosts, I hope we get to hang out again sometime. Come see us in North Eastern Oregon. It beautiful here. Brent and Tonya
