About this property

Lakewood Retreat: Peaceful, Relaxing, Secluded, With Hiking, Lakes, and Hot Tub!

Our Lakewood home is located on 5 secluded acres, in a private gated community, and in the heart of the Mount Saint Helens Recreational area. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful area. Lake Merwin and Yale Lake with their parks, boat ramps, and beaches are less than 2 miles away. They offer numerous swimming, boating, kayaking, and other water activities. Additional activities include visiting Mount Saint Helens, fishing, mountain biking, golfing (at Lewis River Golf Course) and enjoying a wide variety of amazing hikes complete with gorgeous views and spectacular water falls. Old growth forests, Swift Reservoir, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, are also relatively close to name just a few of the other popular destinations. The nearby Ape Caves are also a unique and popular destination for both children and adults. In the winter Marble Mountain Snow park is open for cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and snow mobiles. You will find many other detailed suggestions for this truly beautiful area in our Welcome Binder to help make your stay a special and memorable time for all.

After a fun day of adventure you can return to the Lakewood house and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful evening which could include a soak in the hot tub or a barbeque on the back patio while taking in the territorial view. You could also gather together with family and friends around the giant fire pit as you gaze at the stars. Deer and elk regularly make appearances in our meadow and wander across the property.

The Lakewood home was built in 2015 and has 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, plus an additional bonus room with T.V., games, and movies. A covered back patio, hot tub, fire pit area, barbecue and open meadow are available for your outdoor enjoyment. The home is complete with a fully furnished kitchen, entertainment system, surround sound, WIFI, a fire place, and board games and movies which can be enjoyed by guests of all ages.

This home has an exterior security camera covering the driveway and parking area. Manager has a home in the community. Parties and additional undisclosed guests prohibited.

Great family gathering in the woods!
My family and I (and our dog Pepper) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lakewood over the Thanksgiving Holiday! The home was even more beautiful and spacious and the views more breathtaking than the photos. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay, including all the kitchen items we needed to make a Thanksgiving feast. We really enjoyed the fire pit and had plenty of firewood!! The drive from Vancouver WA to the property was very scenic and took only one hour. We did not have any problems finding or accessing the rental. The country store was about 10 minutes and was stocked with the essentials and a deli. I highly recommend this rental for larger families and those seeking a peaceful retreat from the city but not that far away. There are plenty of beds available and room to spread out. Looking forward to another stay in the future!

Finding it was the trick
The house was great once we found it. We arrived after dark and discovered after walking the entire lane that it’s the only house number that is not illuminated. The house numbers are not in order and this house number sign was posted above another that is illuminated. We never did figure out how to get anything to stream on tv - ended up watching the DVD’s. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed the hot tub.

Girls Trip
The home was beautiful, spacious and had everything that we could possibly need. The area was gorgeous and we found multiple hikes not too far from the property. We started with the Ape Caves, Trail of Two Forest and June Lake. The following day we drove up to Lewis River Falls and hiked all three waterfalls. Absolutely beautiful. The hot tub was much needed after all those miles on our feet.

We love the Pacific Northwest with its forests and outdoor activities! With 3 boys we look forward to escaping the Portland Metro area and enjoying nature and the beautiful outdoors.

Why they chose this property

Our Lakewood property began with the dream of a having a retreat home in a gated community close to the mountains and lakes yet still within driving distance from Portland. We wanted a place where the family could get away from the city and the business of life and enjoy a relaxing time together in the great outdoors. We also wanted a place where our children could form special family memories as they grew up. As we developed this property, we realized that there would be other families who would enjoy it as well. This led us to listing it with VRBO and HomeAway.

A portion of all proceeds from the Lakewood Retreat goes to support clean water projects with Food for the Hungry in Guatemala and Peru.

What makes this property unique

Lovely peaceful secluded retreat with view, hot tub, covered patio, and epic fire pit.
