The house

A 2BR/2BA Family Lake House Rental in Federal Way

Wake up to still water and birdsong on the shores of Twin Lakes in Federal Way — mornings made for coffee by the water, lazy afternoons by the water, and evenings that remind you why you left the city.

This Federal Way short-term rental is a fully furnished, two-bedroom, two-bath lake house, professionally cleaned and ready the moment you arrive, with comfortable beds, a full kitchen, and direct access to the lake. Book it for a weekend, a week, or a monthly stay. Just 15 minutes from Tacoma and SeaTac Airport and about 30 from Seattle, it's close to the city yet tucked away enough to actually decompress — whether it's a long weekend with the family, a small group escape, or a quiet week to yourself.

    The house was older but very clean, with a beautiful lake view. Check-in and checkout were easy, and the instructions were very clear. I only stayed one night and wish I had more time to enjoy the view.

    We were pleasantly surprised with this Airbnb location. The property was clean and well kept. The view off the deck of the house was just as pictured, overlooking a lake. We enjoyed spending time on the deck and enjoying the view over coffee in the morning. Also, the property location was great. We were only a few minutes from various locations we wanted to visit and stores for shopping. I highly recommend!

    Naprosto boží ubytování s krásnym výhledem. Bohužel jsme přespávali pouze den, čiže jsme si ho nemohli užít více. Krásně vybavené a velké ubytování!
