Lakewood Stay
Started our vacation here flying in to SeaTac. Convenient location, family neighborhood. Listing accurate, beautiful outdoor space on the lake with kayaks available. Outdoor grill was great to use. There was checkin issue and called on site person with quick response. Unfortunately, property had not been cleaned-we went for dinner and returned to a clean space.

What a fun experience! This was a quaint, comfy one bedroom with an excellent view. Parking was great, management was immediately responsive when we had questions/ needs, and our space was quiet and well stocked. What will keep us coming back is the park like, lake front yard. Thank you!

Great place to stay when in the area!
My son & I had a great time while visiting Lakewood! We were gone early most days, arriving back late at night. The space for the most part is great. Several things are within walking distance, including a grocery store, coffee, etc. The communication & check in/check out process was clear & concise. The eating area has a beautiful picture window facing the lake, so you can enjoy the view as you eat/drink coffee. The kitchen is nicely stocked-all the things you need to cook a basic meal, along with some seasonings. The living area provides adequate seating for up to 4-5 people (including a futon that turns into a bed), and a TV. The bedroom has adequate furniture, with a decent bed and a step-up/down bathroom. Basic necessities are provided including soap, shampoo & conditioner, plenty of towels, etc. The outdoor space is even better with access to the lake & water toys to use. The fire pit & seating area were a nice touch as well, even though we didn’t take advantage of them. A few things that could use improvements…The unit could be more thoroughly cleaned. Hair in bathroom, carpet on the stairway is quite dirty-maybe replacing it/having it professionally cleaned would be nice. Some blinds need replacing in the unit-very difficult to open/close them, A better internet connection would be nice. Internet not user-friendly for most of the time we were there. It is an older building so it has VERY creaky floors and no elevator, which was stated. Overall, a good value!

What a view
We had a bit of a problem getting into our apartment, the key box didn't work. There was a key under the rug. The view of the property on the outside was AMAZING, and we spent the first day and evening outside. When we went inside, we found that there were no additional bedding for the sofa bed. I did contact the manager a few times, and she did bring us the needed blankets, pillows, ect. The kitchen was well equipped, I would suggest coffee filters, and a towel or two to dry the dishes with, along with a sponge or dishcloth. Our bathroom was very nice, and the hair dryer was appreciated. TV was easy to run, nice having the two chairs in living room, along with the sofa. Very comfortable bed & pillows. Parking was great too. Thank you.

Good Stay
The location of this property was excellent for our needs. It is central to Lakewood and easy access to University Place, North End, and Steilacoom (without having to get on I-5). Lakewood Mall and Steilacoom Park are close by. I wish we could have made use of the lake and firepit, but it was not the right weather that weekend. The room itself was exactly like the pictures. It was a nice sized space and really perfect for 2 people.

Lovely View
We enjoyed our stay. The view of the lake from our apartment was very nice, as were the grounds. The apartment was very clean, though needing some fixes (some of the windows need cleaning, some of the blinds need replacement, bathroom fan doesn't work). Access to kayaks, canoes and standup boards is great. Ceiling fans helped keep the apartment reasonably comfortable. The property manager was helpful and responsive.

Lovely IF you don't have any knee issues.
I feel like the ad could show better, how the unit !2 that I stayed in is on the top level of a small house style motel-ish location that has a very narrow stairway, that doesn't allow you to hold luggage to your side as you go up and down them. The steps are also short. There should also be mention that there isn't any elevator. Inside the unit there is a 10 inch tall step up into the bathroom as well. I stayed because they carried my luggage upstairs for me but there was no help on check out. I had a really hard time navigating back down and nearly fell because of how narrow the staircase is. All that said, I LOVED the space and WISHED that I was young and not struggling with a bad knee and dislocated wrist. I highly recommend sitting in the kitchen and enjoying the picture window view of bluebirds, frolicking along with other birds inside the branches of the mature mossy tree branches. I had to free some Ladybugs, which I found sweet and as if a blessing. I wish I could have given a 5 star... but I stayed for 4 days and there was a Q-tip on the stars and other trash on the stairs... Perhaps a bit more care in the common area.

Cute and Sweet
We stayed here for a business convention in town. The rate was exactly what we were looking for and I feel that we got more for the price. Very easy check in. I wish we had more time to walk around and enjoy the dock, fire pit, and the lake. We were at the Tacoma Dome all weekend and didn’t have time to enjoy the facilities. It was about a 20 minute drive to the Dome due to traffic so it was very manageable. Very comfortable stay and nice amenities. I hope to stay again when we have more time to enjoy the lake.

Good Hotel Alternative
Enjoyed our stay - a very clean, well stocked, and safe property. We never heard any of our neighbors and we were close enough to walk to the Safeway and Starbucks. There are plenty of restaurant options. I would recommend The Moonrise Cafe for a great breakfast and local coffee. Our online host was extremely responsive and courteous. Ron, the property manager, was friendly and helpful as well. The only drawbacks were the internet was unsteady, the shower drained slowly, some of the blinds need replacing, and the property as a whole is a bit worn. Overall, a nice stay and a beautiful view of the lake. The kayaks and canoes are available for your pleasure, but we didn’t have time to enjoy them as we only stayed a couple of days on route to Yellowstone before returning back to NJ.

Easy to find. Ron, caretaker/maintenance person was supper friendly and gave us a little tour with the basic information along with his phone number to contact him if we needed any other assistance. The apartment was exactly as pictured, easy to find and get to with great parking. We stayed for 7 nights and would definitely stay here again.

This was a PHENOMENAL find! We have already recommended our friends and family to check this out for a local stay. The neighbors and other tenants were super sweet. The neighborhood was incredibly quiet and had a wonderful outdoor space with plenty of activities for homebodies. Waterfront access, SUPs, kayaks, or just swimming, a 25 minute drive to downtown - We were stunned with the value of this property! 10/10 would stay again.
