I stayed here for three months and really enjoyed everything about it. The Hostess is so eager to make your stay comfortable. If you have dogs, it’s the best backyard for them, mine loved it. It’s definitely a home away from home❣️

Sweet Retreat stay
Karla’s Sweet Retreat in Bonney Lake was a perfect vacation home to stay in for a month. It felt like home and the location is close to everything yet in a beautiful location. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. Her back yard which the kitchen opens up to is so peaceful with beautiful flowers and trees. Karla is lovely and so helpful for information about restaurants and the community. I highly recommend this vacation rental!

Home away from home
So nice to be able to relax in our own space and the dogs having a yard to stretch their puppy paws, not being couped up in a motel room. Curling up in front of the wood stove and reading and relaxing was wonderful. Thr only downside was the trek to and from Argus Ranch for dog sports was a bit far, 30-35 min depending on time of day, twice a day, made for a lot of road time each day. For bigger vehicles, like my truck, making the turn into and exiting the property was a bit more challenging as the entrance for a 90 degree turn wasn't very wide. Overall, hostess was very generous with amenities, helpful and accommodating. Very pleasant experience! 😁

The property is big and has abundance of space both in the front and back yard. The ambience is very homely and our host, Karla, is a sweetheart! Only downside would be the entrance which is located inside a garage, but apart from that the place is splendid and would highly recommend.

Sweet Stay in Sweet Retreat!
Super clean. Beautifully decorated. Quiet place for us and dogs going to our National Specialty dog show in Auburn. Personal note on arrival, treats for the humans along with fresh cut flower bouquet on the table. Yard is dog friendly with great place for them to stretch legs (includes potty bags and can!). Netflix, wifi and other resources available. Laundry facilities clean and tidy. Interested and concerned owner was available if needed via quick text. We will visit again if in the area. Would change one very extremely minor thing that we couldnt figure out. TV Closed captions on and we couldnt figure out but it was not a problem.

Loved our stay! We had everything we needed during our stay. Everything was set up for us as soon as we arrived. Our dogs loved being able to play with bubbles outside almost every day of our stay. Karla responded quickly to our messages and was a very gracious and understanding host. The location is great - easy access to everything and quiet at night. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Wonderful “Home away from Home”!
This home was so cozy and welcome. It immediately felt like our “home away from home”. Our children had fun looking at the multitude of books, activities, and toys and enjoyed exploring the backyard. We didn’t get the chance, but loved that there was a campfire available in the backyard (next time!!). It was quiet, well-maintained, clean, stocked with everything and more, and just perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!! We hope to come back and stay again next time we visit nearby family!!

Grab it if you can!
I was blown away by Karla’s hostessing abilities. We had good communication before the trip as well as during our stay. Even though I was anticipating pleasant accommodations, I must say the reality far exceeded anything I’ve experienced with Air B&B or VRBO type stays. Everything is immaculate and beautifully furnished. Karla has thought of just about any need a traveler might have, from a cooler for picnics to firewood in the back yard, from extra toiletries to laundry supplies and a first aid kit! The kitchen is fully stocked (the fridge even had bottled water in it, and Karla left a fresh plate of homemade cookies on the counter when we arrived), there are plenty of blankets and pillows, extra towels, nice shampoo and conditioner, and of course a spacious garage to park in. The neighborhood is quiet and out of the way — no busy traffic noises or loud parties. And Karla herself, even though we never saw each other in person, is unobtrusive, gracious and caring. We even texted her to let her know we’d gotten home safely! You couldn’t find a better host for your visit to the area. We were so happy to stay here, and wished we’d spent our entire trip in the Sweet Retreat instead of just the last three days! If this place is available and convenient to your travel plans, grab it up! You’ll thank yourself for your immense wisdom later.

Great time at Bonney Lake
We had a wonderful time at our sweet retreat. It had anything you would need for a pleasant stay. It's called a basement but it's more like a first floor. The area is awesome with everything you need close by. We are pretty self sufficient worry free folks so the owners being there if we needed them but not bugging you (lol) when we didn't was perfect. Thanks for the lovely experience! Highly recommend

Sweet Stay
What a nice home away from home! Karla is the perfect hostess. She has thought through even the smallest of details to make sure our stay was great, from a large selection of coffees and teas, lots of toiletries and towels, every kitchen utensil you could need to the big things like comfy beds, privacy and security. The unit was spotlessly ckean and cutely decorated. It even had a Duraflame fireplace which added a nice touch. Would definitely recommend this rental. Thanks Karla!
