Our experience at the Sammamish home was very positive. My family met my sister's family there to celebrate an event. Lee was prompt to communicate with us and check in was very smooth. This home has several features that suit a family gathering. The large front deck, a living room couch which could hold all 11 of us, and various rooms to spread out. I needed to do marking, and our University age children needed to study, and so we set up in a large basement study room while the others played games in other spaces. We cooked every meal in the home and the appliances were great. We brought in a table from the garage to extend the dining room table. Fortunately for us, the day we arrived the city had opened an extensive paved trail that goes beside Lake Sammamish which makes for great walking/biking. The public water access is about 2.5 miles away and is a small waterfront park. You can walk/bike there or drive and park. If you had small children, or dogs, you would monitor them outside (of course) as the yard is unfenced.
