Charming Family Retreat with Spacious Yard

Pets: The Getaway welcomes friendly and well behaved dogs only for an additional fee. The host's front yard is fully fenced though not fully enclosed (smart or small dogs can crawl underneath) for dogs. There is a small fenced area between the back/main entrance and the garage that is fully enclosed and private for the Gateway House guest. The shared backyard has a fully enclosed fence. Pets are not allowed on the bed or any furniture (we kindly ask you not to book please if your dog is unable to stay off the furniture). For all direct and VRBO reservations, a guest verification notification will be sent via Truvi, our trusted platform for identity and background screening. This can be an active property as its shared with the Gateway Getaway who can potentially be coming in an out often, so if your dog is very noise sensitive it is something to consider when booking. If quietness is something you are searching for it is often mostly quiet but not a guarantee. Your dog needs to be pet and child friendly. Kids: The Getaway House is very kid friendly. If you need a pack and play or high chair we are happy to provide those at no additional fee. There is a baby gate to close off the stairs in the National Park Room closet. Note the stairs are steep and not carpeted so watching and assisting young kids is necessary and required. No smoking/vaping anywhere on the property. Wild Life Preserve: this property is right next to one so note its not uncommon to see wildlife. Stink Bugs! They are the 2025 locust. I am sorry there is not much we can do about these creatures sneaking inside. Our best advice is to attempt to remove from the house without killing. They are pretty stinky if you do kill them. Hosts live nearby: Please note we live 2 houses away from the property and can be easily reached if needed. We also actively manage and do the maintenance work on the property and its not uncommon to see us outside tending to the turnovers of the units or yard maintaining. Activity planning: There are extensive bike and hiking trails that can be accessed within minutes of the Gateway's driveway. As a lifelong Issaquah resident, my family and I can help you design the perfect itinerary, whether it be hiking, mountain biking, brewery hopping, concert going or simply relaxing. We're proud of our Issaquah community and look forward to sharing some of it with you.
