Other Details:
Lake Tapps is a reservoir in Pierce County, Washington. Lake Tapps is about 4.5 square miles (12 km) in surface area and has about 45 miles (72 km) of shoreline. Please note that the reservoir water level is lowered from late October through late April each year (approximately 5-10 feet), and motorboat access is unavailable during these months.

The Sunset Lake Retreat backs to gorgeous Lake Tapps, and it is a great place to swim, float, and enjoy water activities. A short distance from the end of our dock, there are submerged stumps just below the surface. Diving and jumping into the lake should not be done to avoid injury. We discourage using motor boats/jet skis in this area if you are not familiar with this particular section of the lake. Small, non-motorized vessels are more suitable in this part of the lake. Please take a look at the video links provided in the guestbook to learn more.

They recognize that booking constitutes a binding and enforceable contract between the Guests and the Host.

Great staycation for the family. Swimming out front of the property was fabulous. We did not end up using the boat launch as is was too tight with the size of our boat. There are tons of stumps under the water that at first seemed terrifying, but owners were great at helping us understand where to navigate, and was less stressful than we anticipated. Had everything we needed and kids LOVED kayaking and the little water trampoline just off the shore. Lots to explore!

This house was everything we hoped for and more. Situated right on the lake with a large flat yard that is perfect for games. The house also exceed our expectations and had everything we neeeded for a weekend stay. We were pleasantly surprised at the interior and found it plenty roomy for 8 adults to cook and spend time together. We will definitely be back next year!

It was a wonderful vacation for our family reunion. The property was perfect in size, location, set-up, amenities (kayaks and life jackets were great to have on the property), and the kitchen was nicely stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, etc.Only suggestion: Master bath, stairwell leading downstairs, & outdoor lighting need light bulbs replaced, lower level vertical blinds did not work.We hope to return in the future.

Perfect Setting, Great House, Beautiful Sunsets!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The house was perfect - clean, spacious, fully stocked. The layout is great for for two families to spread out but also provides perfect gather spaces. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to cook for and serve a group of 8. The lakefront setting is the best part about this property. The sunset view is AMAZING! Our family spent hours and hours in the water, kayaking, paddle boarding, and just floating around. We had a boat to explore the lake and discovered the most stunning view of Mt Rainier just around the corner. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy everything this property has to offer!

Due to its prime location and pristine setting, the “HomeAway” Lake Tapps House provided the ideal opportunity for my visiting family to experience the complete Pacific Northwest summertime experience we've grown to love and enjoy. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. Highly recommend +. 5 stars!
