About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

House in the Woods [whole house]

Perfect for large groups/multiple families with 3 master suites! Surrounded by an old-growth forest with trails, yet 5 mins from the freeway, bus station, and Olde Town Issaquah. Also close to Bellevue, Seattle, and skiing at Snoqualmie Summit, shopping, live theater, and restaurants. Well stocked kitchen, roomy living rooms! ADA is Accessible on the lower levels.


The space
This house offers the best of both worlds: literally minutes from charming Olde Town Issaquah, the freeway, and the conveniences of urban life, yet tucked against a mountainside and surrounded by a canopy of trees (and fresh air!).

HOUSE
This 3,300 sq ft house is unique with 3 custom-built master suites, all including neo-angled tubs with waterfall faucets and spa-like atmospheres. Each space was artistically designed and you might have a hard time choosing between them!

***An update to the pictures includes a large flat-screen TV in place of the piano in the main living area downstairs, as well as a larger table upstairs.

You'll find special pieces throughout, including up-cycled remodels, high-end kitchen updates, and antique built-ins from local lakefront mansions.

From the floor plan to the lighting and decor, we hope you find this space cozy and inviting.

AMENITIES
Booked as the whole house (through this listing), you'll have 2 full kitchens, 2 flat-screen TVs, 2 living rooms for gathering and relaxing, and 2 washer/dryer sets. Multiple master suites mean everyone can relax in their own private space. This is ideal for large groups or families!

Enjoy cooking in our updated kitchen upstairs. Having the appliances (two ovens upstairs and one down), knives, serving bowls, and some spices in the pantry will make your stay easy and comfortable.

House in the Woods has an in-floor geothermal radiant heating and cooling system and distilled water straight from the spigot at the kitchen sinks and several bathrooms sinks.

Off the upstairs kitchen is a large deck with a grill and bench seating for summer guests.

In the lower level, you'll find up-cycled finishes, exposed beams, and interior brick accent walls.

SLEEPING
The upstairs master has a king bed and walk-in closet. In addition to queen/double beds, the downstairs masters have charming twin bed nooks and soothing dimmable lights throughout. The other lower level room is a "den" with a double bed (no attached bath or closet). It has glass French doors on two walls with stained glass accents.

ADA ACCESSIBLE
The lower unit is ADA accessible:
- paved parking is level with the front door
- wide hallways and doors
- roll-in shower
-

NOISE
The home is nestled in the trees along Hwy 900, a high-traffic road between Issaquah and Renton. Expect to hear cars and trucks pass by day and night from inside, but also enjoy the sights and sounds of mother nature all around you. See photos for proximity to the street.

LOCATION
Being on Hwy 900 means you won't spend extra time driving through neighborhoods or city streets to get to your destination. From the house, zip right onto this scenic road and hit the freeway, town, or trailheads within minutes. Note that commute hours in the morning and late afternoon create heavy traffic on this road, I-90, and main roads in Issaquah, so plan accordingly.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find two ski resorts less than an hour away, as well as boating/swimming, miles of cycling, running, fishing, downhill biking, destination hiking, and even paragliding just down the road. Water toys and boats can be parked in the open space to the right of the house.

Issaquah has a charming shopping area called Gilman Village as well as restaurants, live theater, and local shops along Front Street.

BOOKING ALTERNATIVES
It was remodeled to be booked as one large house, OR as two separate and private units on each level. The fastest way to find them is an Internet search for:

"House in the Woods (whole unit) Issaquah"

If you're sensitive to road noise, note that the upper unit's wall-to-wall windows and open floor plan make it easier to hear the cars/trucks. Although you still hear traffic in the lower unit, it is quieter.

Contact me if you'd like to add more people than is allowed.

(We recently purchased this home from friends who also hosted House in the Woods on Airbnb. If you've stayed here before, you'll notice that the furnishings and vibe are exactly the same!)

Guest access
There is a large grassy area for recreational activities and hiking trails within walking distance or a short drive around the bend in the road.

Other things to note
- Easy drive to Seattle, Redmond, or Bellevue.
- Convenient to Costco HQ, Seimens, OSI/Spacelabs, T-Mobile, and Microsoft.
- Close to Issaquah wedding venues, including Trinity Tree Farm, Grand Ridge Manor, Tibbets Creek Manor, and Pickering Barn.

Security cameras.
This house has 10 security cameras in the parking lot, yard, and driveway to protect the property and guests. Wild animals, such as bears, dear, etc visit the property, sometimes. Once in a blue moon, uninvited people drop by to steal the goods. If you see a stranger who does not invite you, please call the police to protect you. There are no cameras inside to protect the guest's privacy.

Streaming Services:
The TVs in the house are set up with Netflix & Disney+ plans provided already; please do not purchase anything else on these streaming accounts or you will be charged $50 for the extra charges as well as any of the charges incurred.

Lovely stay!
This was a fabulous property with everything we needed. You can tell the owner wants you to feel at home with all the cute touches in design as well. We had our bridal party stay here for a wedding weekend and everyone had plenty of space to get ready. Recommend!

Great home for Bridal Party sleepover
This home was of great use for the night before and night of my wedding. Our bridal party stayed with us at the house. I also talked with the owner and was able to have our rehearsal dinner there for an additional fee due to guests count. It was easy to communicate with owner. Very kind and house was perfect for what we needed. Had a great time!

Married at House in the Woods!
This host graciously accepted our proposal for having a small, intimate wedding ceremony and reception at his property! We had a guest count of 40 but only 10 people slept at the property. The host went through all the added paperwork for making sure there were damage waivers and policies in place so that he could accommodate our wedding and reception at his property. All of our guests loved the space! There was plenty of room to park 20 cars and the grassy space was just perfect for the placement of the ceremony chairs/arch, catering tables, and reception tables with head table! We loved the way the sun peaked through the trees during our reception - made for beautiful photos! The string lights around the house made it glow in the evening (this was perfect for our group of 28 who came for our rehearsal dinner which we had at long tables on the second floor deck!) The property was just beautiful! Instead of dancing, we had a bon fire and roasted s’mores! The bridal party and their spouses enjoyed cuddling up to the bon fire at the end of the evening with my (now) husband and I! The last thing I’ll add is that I’m happy we rented microphones for the ceremony and to have for the toasts at the reception as the road noise can get a little loud. Wasn’t a problem with microphones though! Everything went AMAZING!! We couldn’t be happier and we are proud to been so fortunate to get married at this beautiful house in the woods!!! I’m sure we will be back on our one year anniversary!♥️

Amazing spot for family reunion
We had an amazing stay at this house. We had a large family reunion and there was more than enough space for everyone. Downside: it is not as spacious as appears in pictures becuase there is a lot of furniture. Upside: the outdoor area, including the hot tub, picnic tabels, and fire pit are absolutely amazing and not really show cased in the listing! We will absolutely stay again!

Perfect Stay -- Met Our Needs for the Christmas Holiday with Family
Spacious, but cozy home. Very comfortable beds and we appreciated the gathering spaces (although we all pretty much congregated in the upstairs kitchen and family room). Great hosts! Thank you!!!

Great place for a getaway with friends
Had a great time here. Nice clean property that houses a good amount of people. If you have more than 10 people, people will likely sleep on the couch but definitely do able.
