Haller Lake Restored Log Cabin

Impressed with the site, the architectural beauty, the welcome details and the conversations with Roberta, our hostess... We had a total ball in their darling cabin by the lake ;) I took "a ton" of pictures...will post them little by little, to re-live the fun time spent there. Full heartfelt recommendation, from both Robert and myself...:D Always love, light and laughter; Leticia & Robert Huber : ) : ) (website hidden)

I stayed in this cute little log cabin with my boyfriend late April. The place was better than I had expected! The weather was beautiful and we were able to take advantage of it on the lake by using a paddle boat that Roberta dried for us. Communication between Roberta and Dan was great - they responded to all my emails in a quick and friendly manner. We had no problems at all with check in and out stay. It was a little tricky to find the place as I almost drove by the first time, but there is a street sign that will guide the way. I really enjoyed my trip, it was the perfect getaway! The cabin was isolated enough that you wouldn't know it was only a 5 minute drive away from the shopping mall. Will definitely be back!

CURLERS - this is the perfect location when you are competing at the Granite Curling Club (GCC.) The Heller Lake Log Cabin was not only in a better location than the local hotels but was cheaper and much nicer than the places our friends stayed this weekend. And for larger groups there is also a house for rental on the same property. We flew into town for a Bonspiel (curling tournament) at the Granite Curling Club and this was the perfect location. The club had a deal with some of the local hotels but when I looked into it they were 1) much farther away and 2) more expensive. We were able to walk to GCC, which was only about three blocks away, while everyone else had to drive back and forth between the club and their hotel. The cabin is so nice and in such a great location for us that it makes the decision to return for future Bonspiels an easy one. With there also being a house for rent on the same property we will likely have our whole team stay with us next time which will make for a much better trip while saving everyone money over the local hotel rates and save people time because they won't have to drive as far. Even if you are coming to Seattle as a tourist instead of a curler, the location is great. Even though it is north of downtown we were able to get back and forth to the airport quickly, even with traffic on our way back. And downtown was easily accessed by car by either the freeway or Aurora Ave and when we didn't want to take the car there are buses running straight down Aurora to both the Fremont District (think Berkeley) and downtown. As mentioned by others, the cabin can get a little chilly at night but it wasn't an issue at all for us. The space heaters are enough to keep it from becoming uncomfortable and the bed was not only comfortable but very warm. With a fridge, coffee maker, and hotplate we had almost everything we needed. (Bring a hairdryer if you require one but be kind to the electrical system by turning off some lights and the heater before firing it up. We had no issues but I was an electrician and advise everyone to do that even when at home.) Although we didn't get a chance to use them, there were even fishing poles by the front door for relaxing by the lake. Roberta and Dan were wonderful hosts and we absolutely loved the Heller Lake Log Cabin. Even though we arrived after midnight and had to depart at an odd hour in the afternoon, Roberta and Dan were so accomodating that we didn't have to worry about anything. The direction to the cabin were spot on, which was especially nice because we arrived after dark. We are looking forward to adding the Heller Lake Log Cabin to our regular list of fun weekend trips. (Although it is a bit of a drive, check out Skillet Diner in Capital Hill for some incredible eats. And if you make it to Pikes Place don't miss the mini-donut vendor who is on the street level. For 24 hour a day dining (our first curling match started at 7am) Beth's is just a short drive south on Aurora Avenue and is a local favorite.) All in all this was a wonderful location to stay at and we look forward to many more trips to this property. You simple cannot go wrong with this location and Roberta and Dan as hosts, whether you are staying for a Bonspiel, just looking for a local get-away (it was nice and quiet), or visiting in full tourist mode. We are already checking the calendar to see when we can get back up for a visit.

The log cabin is every bit as charming & cosy as it appears to be in the pictures. Slightly smaller than I imagined, but magical just the same. It was a quiet haven away from everything else we had to deal with in Seattle this time. It's sometimes hard to believe just how close it is to shops, etc & how far it is away from the hustle & bustle. I recommend using the small paddleboat as often as possible. I was able to pull it out & launch it on my own, & it was easy to pull it up onto the pier & turn it over to keep the top side dry. Sitting alone out in the middle of the lake being gently blown around by the wind gusts was relaxing beyond compare. This place will be our home base whenever we are in Seattle. We have already highly recommended it to friends & family.

We had a great time in Seattle. It was lovely to spend the day in the city and then come home to this adorable little cabin in by the lake. It felt isolated but was 10 minutes away from everything we wanted to do. Roberta was great - the cabin is a little idiosyncratic but she taught us the ins and outs. She even showed me how to split firewood which was good because even in April it got a bit chilly. Wonderful time all around. Thanks.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin very much. Roberta was very hospitable. Great location to get to where we needed to be.

Roberta was very quick to respond to all my questions and she was also kind enough to remind me of a few things before we actually got there. The cabin is situated in a beautiful spot and we really enjoyed our stay. It does get cold in Seattle in the winter so be prepared for that, but the heaters and the fireplace certainly helped. We hope to come back in the summer sometime so we can make use of lake!

Roberta & Dan were excellent hosts. This was my first time using Airbnb and it was a great experience. This was a great place nestled away right in town, but you'd never know it. It's a perfect place for two and you couldn't ask for better hosts.

Great little cabin, perfect for two people. The owner could not have been nicer or more accommodating! A little bit of a work in progress, but very charming and full of character, and the price is right!

Charming, secluded spot. Great location. The pictures are very accurate and owners very hospitable. Highly recommend.

How beautiful the place is! The house is big and has everything in it. Staying in this place made our trip become more wonderful. Roberta is a nice and friendly host. Thank her for sharing this wonderful place with us. This place is close to everything and to 99, which is a good alternative way toward downtown and other fun places. It is easy for parking, doing laudry, cooking, and hanging out in this place. 100% recommand everything to choose to stay here.

Roberta & Dan maintain a lovely place at the beautiful Haller Lake. Our family really enjoyed spending Mother's Day weekend there. The waterfront house was perfect for relaxation after a long flight, and everyone loved the surroundings and private access to the lake. The house was well equipped with all amenities, bright and clean. If you decide to stay here, do not miss a chance to admire the lake from Roberta & Dan's paddle boat. It is an experience you will not forget.

The house, the lake and the surrounding was simply awesome. The pictures in the profile do not do justice to the actual beauty of the place. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. Roberta and Dan were also very nice and also very helpful. You can tell that alot of effort and heart has been put in to make he place beautiful. This place is highly recommended for any party of 6 who wants a nice place away from the city. I'm giving it a 5 stars because if was simply beautiful and cozy!

Paradise in the center of the city!! This home was beautiful and quiet. It was also very special in the way it has been remodeled. Roberta and Dan were friendly and helpful.

We came over from the UK and had a wonderful but hectic holiday in Seattle. We stayed in a hotel for a couple of nights to start with before moving to the lake house. The house was lovely and relaxing from the start and a really nice place to come home to after doing all the 'touristy' things. It was cold at first (we agree about the warm clothes) but then we got some sunshine and it warmed up and the lake looked even lovelier. We enjoyed walking down to the jetty which is just at the bottom of the garden, and even got the paddle boats out. Our two girls, aged 8 and 11 thought it was great. The house had everything we needed - much more relaxing than staying in a hotel. Roberta was really flexible and helpful about checking in and out times - and had lots of information about what's around. Thank you for being such great hosts.

The house was lovely. It was so nice to sit in front of the fire and look at the lake. We had a wonderful time. Our girls really enjoyed all the cubbies during our nightly rounds of hide-n-seek. There is plenty of space for a big group to spread out and have some privacy.

We had a very pleasant stay in this beautiful house. The place was really great and so was Roberta. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook, rooms were comfortable and the location is very convenient, as it is very quiet but close to downtown. The view down to the lake is amazing. Hope we will have the chance to come back during summer time!

We spent a really nice time in the house.....and Roberta and Dann were excelent !!.....Seattle is fun and the house is great!!!

Nice house and great hosts. The house was exactly as described and a nice quiet place to stay.

We really enjoyed our time in your beautiful home! The beds were comfortable, the rooms warm and inviting. We hope to be back! Thank you for your warm hospitality! Celestia and family
