Other Details:
Lake Tapps is a reservoir in Pierce County, Washington. Lake Tapps is about 4.5 square miles (12 km) in surface area and has about 45 miles (72 km) of shoreline. Please note that the reservoir water level is lowered from late October through late April each year (approximately 5-10 feet), and motorboat access is unavailable during these months.

The Sunset Lake Retreat backs to gorgeous Lake Tapps, and it is a great place to swim, float, and enjoy water activities. A short distance from the end of our dock, there are submerged stumps just below the surface. Diving and jumping into the lake should not be done to avoid injury. We discourage using motor boats/jet skis in this area if you are not familiar with this particular section of the lake. Small, non-motorized vessels are more suitable in this part of the lake. Please take a look at the video links provided in the guestbook to learn more.

They recognize that booking constitutes a binding and enforceable contract between the Guests and the Host.

Great staycation for the family. Swimming out front of the property was fabulous. We did not end up using the boat launch as is was too tight with the size of our boat. There are tons of stumps under the water that at first seemed terrifying, but owners were great at helping us understand where to navigate, and was less stressful than we anticipated. Had everything we needed and kids LOVED kayaking and the little water trampoline just off the shore. Lots to explore!

This house was everything we hoped for and more. Situated right on the lake with a large flat yard that is perfect for games. The house also exceed our expectations and had everything we neeeded for a weekend stay. We were pleasantly surprised at the interior and found it plenty roomy for 8 adults to cook and spend time together. We will definitely be back next year!

It was a wonderful vacation for our family reunion. The property was perfect in size, location, set-up, amenities (kayaks and life jackets were great to have on the property), and the kitchen was nicely stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, etc.Only suggestion: Master bath, stairwell leading downstairs, & outdoor lighting need light bulbs replaced, lower level vertical blinds did not work.We hope to return in the future.

House and location were perfect! We enjoyed the backyard and kayaks with our family. Dock and access to the lake were very convenient for our boat. We had an incredible time!
