We stayed for two weeks at Emmy's place with two different groups - 1st group 6 adults and 4 kids, second group 8 adults. Everyone loved Emmy's home. She has taken great care to make it feel as comfortable, clean and well stocked with items you would need for cooking or personal care. The view and neighborhood was peaceful and a short walk to a very nice playground and hiking trails at Chambers Bay. The home was spacious and perfect for larger groups with enough seating in each room for everyone to be able to talk, play and have fun. The backyard has been landscaped with beautiful flowers and shrubs and was fun to walk around. The second group golfed at several golf courses in the area including Chambers Bay, Salish Cliffs, Golf Mountain, White Horse, & McCormick Woods They were all beautiful and fun to play. We rated those in the order shown. Emmy was very proactive and responsive to our questions. Thank you Emmy for making our vacation special for everyone!

Our stay at Emmy's place was fantastic. The house was spotless and beautifully maintained, and every detail made us feel right at home. The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Location was great and the space was comfortable and well-equipped. We’ll definitely be staying here again — highly recommend!

Emmy's place was everything we wanted and more. We rented it for a small girl's weekend getaway and it was perfect. Emmy had plenty of recs for us, the house was clean and ready a little early, and the attention to detail was a nice bonus--stocked laundry room, umbrella on the patio, extra oscillating fans for people who like a fan at night, soft blankets in the living room for curling up and chatting, etc. It felt like a home away from home. I haven't even gotten to the view...the house was perfect and we would definitely stay here again.

We had to find a home for a family member’s memorial we were attending which would accommodate a large group. The house exceeded our expectations and everyone had their own space and bathroom. The view was amazing and we would all gather on the large deck in the morning to enjoy it while we were drinking our coffee.. I am a little crazy about cleanliness and this house delivered!!! So tidy and clean. I just hope we left it clean enough when we left as I always try to leave it as good as possible… Emmy was so helpful and caring about our needs. She was wonderful !!!

Emmy's place was great. the one floor living was perfect for my elderly parents and sister with a walker. The house is very well appointed and we had everything we could possibly need. It was hard to leave because the view is spectacular.

Emmy’s place went beyond our expectations, and the photos cannot show how amazing the view is from nearly every room in the house. Emmy communicated well and gave my family many suggestions about where to eat and things to do. Thank you so much for letting us stay!

Our host Emmy was very attentive to our family’s needs. We had a relaxing time as we prepared to attend my father’s memorial service. Everyone slept well and we greatly enjoyed the view. It was a special time we will all remember.
