Perks for the Parents
This architect-designed Silver Lake home, surrounded by nature, is the ideal family getaway spot in the mountains, with floor-to-ceiling views of the woods and valleys from the bathtub. It is in Maple Falls, Washington. Along with stunning interiors (as pictured) there are landscaped stairs leading down the embankment to an attached dock and swim ladder. The dock is great for fishing and swimming. Fantastic for outdoorsy families. Every room has a view of Silver Lake.
Why Kids Love it
Nightly baths have never been this much fun - toddlers can have playtime in the evening in master bathroom tub with a lake view. There is plenty of water-based fun for older kids too: including fishing and swimming from the dock and a hot tub. The open floor plan provides a space that is welcoming and relaxing, and allows everyone to gather in the same space with ease. Nearby attractions include Silver Lake Park, which has a kid-friendly bike trail, playground, museum, horseshoes and boat, canoe and paddleboard rentals.

It is 15 miles east on Highway 542 of the Snoqualmie National Forest, rich with history and outdoor opportunities. Mt.

There is also a bedroom with queensize bed and full bathroom on this level.

Style Notes
This vacation home received the 2014 Best Residential Wood Design Award, as presented annually by the Canadian Wood Council. With floor-to-ceiling windows and views of Silver Lake from every room, plus luxurious fittings and beautiful carpentry, it makes the most of its natural surroundings while adding a touch of comfort. We love the staircase, the deck and the hot tub.
