Great stay at this huge & beautiful home
Stayed here with family, grandparents, aunties and uncles and cousins over winter holidays. The mansion was just like its pictures on Vrbo, very clean. We enjoyed a comfortable stay with lots of convos in comfy living room and enjoyed many meals with many relatives at the long dining table. Kids enjoyed a muddy romp and exploration on the farm fields on the property Property mgrs were very available and helpful, when I had a few ?s Recommend if you’re traveling with a crowd!

Sanders Estate
My 4th time at Sanders Estate. Great experience as always. All family and friends enjoyed their stay and the tranquil park like setting. Peaceful and quiet yet only 30 minutes from Seattle or Bellevue and 10 minutes from major grocery stores and shops at the Kent station mall. I highly recommend this place for a family or friends getaway or reunion.

What a gorgeous property and house! We had such a fun time and had plenty of room for everyone visiting from different states.

Best family reunion we've ever had
Held a family reunion here in Oct 2019 and it was magical. We had 9 guests and 3 dogs. It was the perfect venue for us. The rooms were lovely. The dining area was more than ample. We had lots of activities in the house. We carved pumpkins. We cooked meals. We ate together in the lovely dining room. We watched movies. But mostly we just enjoyed each other’s company, chatting-it-up until the wee hours of the morning. Mike and Virginia were wonderful. They were very attentive from the get-go and more than willing to assist us with whatever we needed. Their cheerful disposition made everyone feel right at home. They are very lovely people, very kind. My mother (grandma) said that she hadn’t such a good time in many years. I think everyone will cherish the memories made in this lovely home (more like a mansion). I brought an Intel NUC and hooked it up to the TV and we had a blast playing Jackbox games. The house already had an Xfinity box. My (strong) suggestion to Mike & Virginia: Buy all 6 Jackbox Party Pack games (along with Drawful 2) via the Xfinity cable box and promote it to your guests! I promise it will be a huge hit! (The kids loved it and grandma was laughing so hard that she cried.) Steve’s favorite Jackbox games for a family reunion (ranked from worst to best): 7) You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream (Party Pack 5) 1-8 players 6) Tee K. O. (Party Pack 3) [3-8 players] Best played with 5 players 5) Push the Button (Party Pack 6) [4-10 players] – Note: This game is very different from the others listed here. It’s a bit like “Mafia-in-Space”: Players need to deceive each other. This game is very different from the others listed here.] 4) Patently Stupid (Party Pack 5) [3-8 players] 3) Fibbage 3 (Party Pack 4) [2-8 players] 2) Quiplash 2 (Party Pack 3) [3-8 players] 1) Drawful 2 (Standalone game) [3-8 players] Thanks so much to Mike & Virginia for making our trip one that we’ll carry with us for a lifetime!

I thought I was staying alone
If I’m paying that amount per night I would like to know that somebody will be staying directly under me. and that I can’t actually use the 37 acres. I feel like It was false advertisement

We had 19 of our family at the house. Everyone loved the home and the landscaped grounds. It provided a warm and attractive setting for a fun-filled weekend.All the cooking utensils we needed were there. Plenty of table space for everyone. Managers were very helpful making sure our needs were met We hated to leave ! Proximity to Sea-Tac Airport was a plus. Gene and Darlene D.
