About

Gateway Rentals (grmrentals) welcomes you to the Gateway Getaway—your peaceful retreat between Issaquah’s Tiger and Squak Mountains. Enjoy the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation: watch paragliders at Poo Poo Point, unwind in a cozy space with modern amenities, or explore scenic trails just two blocks away. With historic Front Street only a mile out and Seattle just 30 minutes away, this getaway offers both nature and convenience.

Good to know

Welcome to The Gateway Getaway — a stylish and serene 850 sq ft retreat perched above a detached garage, right next door to its sister property, The Gateway House. Nestled among the trees with stunning views of Tiger Mountain and vibrant sunrise skies, this peaceful escape is the perfect spot to rest, reset, and recharge between your adventures. Inside, the full-size kitchen boasts high-end stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with all the essentials—from cookware to utensils—making it easy to whip up your favorite meals. A Nespresso machine with complimentary pods invites you to start your mornings right, while the kitchen bar offers a cozy perch for coffee chats, casual work, or keeping the cook company. You’ll also find a handpicked selection of local wines available for purchase—cheers! The dining area comfortably seats four for shared meals or game nights. In the living room, enjoy soaring vaulted ceilings, a sleek modern fireplace, and a plush sofa with cozy chairs—perfect for lounging, reading, or streaming your favorite shows. (Netflix, Hulu Live, Disney+, Paramount+, and Amazon Prime are all included.) The bathroom features spa-like touches including heated tile floors, a bath/shower combo, and endless hot water courtesy of a tankless heater. You'll also be treated to plush towels, a hairdryer, and premium toiletries. Head up to the loft to find a luxurious king-size Casper mattress with buttery-soft linens, along with a twin pull-out bed for an additional guest. Step outside to grill on your private deck, or unwind at the bistro set nestled at the base of the stairs. Adventure is always nearby—trailheads for hiking and biking are just a 5-minute walk (or 2-minute ride) away. Explore historic downtown Issaquah with a scenic 15-minute walk along the Rainier Trail or a quick 3-minute drive. You’re also just 40 minutes from skiing at Snoqualmie Pass and 25 minutes from the heart of Seattle. Traveling with a smaller group or can’t find your dates?

My grandmother and I had a very nice time staying at this Airbnb around Christmas while visiting family. It was a great place to relax after long days celebrating the holidays. We liked the small Christmas tree that had in the kitchen and the cozy fire place.

This is a great location for visiting the town with a lovely view. Coffee bar and kitchen make it feel homey. We were visiting family, we cooked some and went out some. Easy access to restaurants and Old Town Issaquah.

Living in Seattle center can be utter chaos 90% of the time.. so to be able to come out to their place was a breath of fresh air! Pun intended. :) the place is absolutely fantastic and just enough privacy for a quick getaway.

Both of these properties are wonderful…we had family in both the house and the getaway space. It was perfect to be together but have some privacy as well! Both were clean and comfortable, with amazing outdoor spaces and beautiful views!

Find us

The Getaway is located just 1 mile South of Issaquah’s city center and less than 2 miles from I-90, Seattle’s east / west artery running from the mountains to the sea. Typical drive time from Sea Tac airport is 25-40 minutes (traffic dependent) and an Uber/Lyft will run you $40-$60 each way (surge price dependent) Hiking, biking and activities are totally doable without a car especially in the summer months. The closest bus stop is appx 0.8 miles away and there is a transit center 2.5 miles away. For hiking outside of Squak and Tiger Mtns, there are literally hundreds of hikable trails within a 40 minute drive of the Getaway. Closest skiing is 40 min away (Snoqualmie Pass) with Crystal and Stevens running 2-2.5 hours away depending on traffic/weather.
