Brian,
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful Duck House with us. You have thought of everything and it made our stay a true pleasure. When in Seattle again, this will certainly be our first choice.

Brian-
The Duck hose has been lovely. All of us - from tots to grandmother - enjoyed the house. It has something for all of us. Toys, books, canoe, squirrels, a fat outside cat, and ducks to feed bread. What a mellow place to come following a wedding! I prefer it to the pricey Salish Lodge. In Hawaii, we don’t see changing foliage, so the red and golds were fascinating. We return home with pressed leaves and pinecones and memories.
We left wedding flowers for the next visitor to enjoy. Also some wine and beer and ice cream.
Our Aloha,

Dear Brian and Family-
Your house is absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed all the amenities but mostly the opportunity to stay with all of our family and feel at home!
We were able to watch the ducks, a full moon on two nights and also a raccoon in the water!!
We would love the chance to come out again and enjoy your home!

The Duck House worked out perfect for our family - plenty of room including quiet spots like the deck and lake. Our youngest, 4yrs, enjoyed the park next door. I went to the mountains and fished in a small river in Gold Bar - loaded with salmon, brought a few home for supper. Thanks.

Brian - What a blessing staying in the Duck House - Thank you for your hospitality. Beds were comfortable! My son-in-law said you asked about any suggestions - it would have been handy to have maybe some TV trays or small lightweight tables to set things on in the bedrooms. Other than that this place is excellent you have thought of everything. (We also had 3 generations here!)

Brian, The house was a wonderful place to stay and I enjoyed it a lot! My sister and I stayed downstairs and we liked it a lot, it was like we had our own little space :). Along with that, high speed internet is always a great thing for us - haha -we love to go online! The house was very home like and made me forget I was living somewhere else besides my own home. I also really liked the couch it was very comfortable. Thanks SO much for letting us stay here.

We had a great time at the duck house - all 3 generations. Thanks for the restaurant recommendations - Tutta Bella was the perfect kid and parent friendly spot. Next time we’ll have to come in the summer so we can use the swim suits we brought.
Thanks,

What a great place for our first vacation with our two girls! Grandma and Grandpa came to help out and we had a great time. It was really nice to have a place to cook all of our goodies from Pike's Market. The Seahawks game was fun for the grandparents & the zoo was fun for us on Sunday. The A's whopped the M's on two grand slams Monday night - yeah! The par-3 at Jackson provided the frustrating fun that only golf can on Tuesday. Dinner at the Space Needle was romantic for Mommy and Daddy, too. The ducks are from our hands on our last day and the raccoon family was really cute in the early mornings. Thanks for a great time - we hope to come back again.

We've really enjoyed our stay in the Duckhouse. We had fun canoeing & lounging on the deck. The amenities including the TV and stereo were put to good use. We even like the metallic blinds which created a great disco effect while we used that stereo.
We'd like to plan a reunion next year!
Thanks for everything.

“The Duck House” will always bring to mind our beautiful time with our children & grandchildren, especially our lovely new grandchild “Summer.”
Lots of cooking & dinners around the dining room table brought the family together, and our dog loved the park. We all thank you for thinking of everything.
Best wishes.

| What a gem. When you drive off the main road to the house, you don’t know what to expect, but once inside it is amazing. The Lake is delightful, the house is on a dead end street that is next to a Park. Ideal for family and very dog friendly. We visited in late July and swam in the Lake every day. The deck is a wonderful place to relax with your morning coffee. House is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. There are excellent restaurants and shops nearby, don’t miss the Rialto Pasta bar and grill. Amazing grocery market, Central Market 5 minutes from the house. Think Whole Foods, twice the size and selection with no attitude and half the price. Very easy access to downtown without having to get on I-5. 15 minutes to Pikes Market, Pioneer Square, Safeco field etc. An amazing place for a family with a dog. Will visit the Duck House again. |

In all our galactic travels we have rarely encountered lodging as cute and charming as the Duck House.
The deck is most welcoming, and the view pleasant and restful. (one suggestion: an upgrade of the patio furniture would enhance and extend the experience.)
We found the beds to be very comfortable and your choice of magazines stimulating. However, we couldn't get the VCR in the living room to work.
Still, we'll remember our stay fondly.
Truly, more than a Duck House, this is a Duck Home.
(Note added by owner: we appreciate your suggestions and will buy new furniture soon and make the instructions more clear for the VCR).

We really liked the setting – and the house’s open
spaces. Our last night dinner was out on the deck
and the lake was like a mirror. Really beautiful.
You’ve made a wonderful get-a-way available right
in the heart of Seattle . Thanks for all the
thoughtful details.
We think the setting for this sweet house is
wonderful. The view of the lake help transport
oneself. The large trees help to frame those great
views. You definitely have a charming house for
Seattle guests.
P.S. We all especially enjoyed the view from both
bathrooms! What better way to wash one’s face and
see nature.

We're so glad you had the "Duck" house on the internet. We all enjoyed our stay here. It is so peaceful and the view is wonderful. My granddaughter loved feeding the ducks. She had as many as 26 begging for bread. Your house is so comfortable and met all of our needs. It was convenient for all of our adventures and close to my son's place. If we all come again we would certainly stay here if available. Thanks for sharing the "Duck" house with us.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Duck
House. Besides its obvious charm – the lovely view
of the pond and the ducks and the squirrels as well
as its great facilities – it has a wonderful welcoming
ambience. I'm glad my daughter found it on the
internet. We were even able to host our relatives
from the area for a BBQ. Thanks for allowing us to
be your guests for a few lovely Seattle Duck House
days. |

Our family of 6 loved being here! You home worked so well for us, from high chair and crib for our youngest thru the PS2 for the older ones and lake front for those in the middle.
Great location and beautiful setting! The best part for Mom was awaking at 5 AM, sipping coffee on the deck and watching a mamma raccoon and her 4 babies come out from under the giant fir tree, settle down the steps at water’s edge and then make their way up the willow tree where they played and groomed for over an hour!
Of course there were the ducks and squirrels and we also enjoyed getting to know the neighborhood cats! Great fun!

Hola!
Thank you for being so helpful and kind. We loved being able to use the computer, lake and PS2. Thanks again for helping us with the internet.

I must say that this house exceeded our expectations in every way. Beautiful, great location, very well stocked and a wonderful lake out the back door. Sometimes it was hard to leave to see Seattle because it was so nice just hanging out here. But the most impressive part was the host. Brian, we appreciate your amazing hospitality. Thank you for going out of your way to help us enjoy this place. We will recommend the “Duck House” to all we know. Oh yeah, the weather is GREAT!

We had a great time in Seattle and at your rental. We enjoyed the following at your rental:
1. Using the canoe and boat on the lake. Our dog enjoyed it too. We actually bought him a life vest in Kirkland at Moss Bay. By the way, my family enjoyed it there.
2. Eating dinner in the dining room. Since we had our dog, we ate at the house every night. We even cooked dinner once (seafood, steak and pasta from Pike's Market).
3. Having breakfast on your deck.
4. Taking our dog to the nearby park.
5. Being close to town. Your rental is in a very good location.
6. The wireless internet connection.

Love the Duck House!
Particularly as it is so kid and dog friendly – we truly had an opportunity to relax. The setting is fabulous and we enjoyed the lake views from every room.
