Lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath, cozy house in rural area on a private lake. The property is large, on 8 acres most of which is forest. Beautiful views of the lake from the kitchen and open space dining/living room. Big front flower garden and various enclosed vegetable gardens that may need some, fairly easy looking after while we are gone. It depends on how the summer season goes but it will probably be mostly harvesting tomatoes and putting them in the freezer.
No pets but we do have a plethora of wild critters (squirrels, Steller's jays, towhees etc.) that visit, entertain us and get, or rather 'demand', treats. We have Anna's hummingbirds all year round. They're such sweeties and fun to watch. We have 2 feeders that need to be cleaned and refilled regularly. It's pretty easy but the cleaning of the feeders has to be done meticulously (takes about 10 minutes every 2-3 days). There is also a small fish pond that will need occasional care and topping up of water.
The house is in a beautiful, quiet area but a car is mandatory. About 12 minutes drive to the nearest little supermarket and to a larger shopping area in Gig Harbor.
There are not a lot of restaurant and coffee shop options here but if you're into nature you're in for a treat. You can enjoy it from the windows of the house or go for a walk at Joemma Beach, Penrose State Park or Maple Hollows. Hiking options are not too far but will take an hour or 2 to get to. There are also lots of beautiful drives along the many waterways.
We are a fully Covid vaccinated and boosted household and prefer the same from you.
