This house was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed from comfortable beds, pool towels, cooking utensils, games, seating, and lovely porch swings. <br/>My family loved the saltwater pools, and the transportation to the lake was A++ Renting a boat was made super convenient.

Lovely home, full of amenities
Reviewed on 2024-07-18 by Elisabeth R. , Seattle, WA United StatesMy family had a lovely stay at Bighorn & Bluebell. The home is truly lovely, full of wonderful amenities and lovely outdoor spaces. My children loved the two separate game rooms and the proximity to the lower pool. The adults enjoyed cooking in the fantastic kitchen. The house is well laid out to offer private spaces to a large group of people. The only complaint, which will eventually go away, was the constant stream of very large and loud trucks coming up from the new development area and driving right past the front porch. Overall, we highly recommend this home!
Perfect for Family Reunions
Reviewed on 2024-07-02 by Jo P. , Seattle, WA United StatesSuch a lovely home. The home is beautifully appointed with everything you would need for family entertainment and large meals. We were especially pleased with the fully stocked spice rack and bonus rooms!

Works well for a group of women!
Reviewed on 2024-06-07 by Barb A. , Edgewood, WA United StatesGreat location steps from a community pool and a stroll away from Vin Du Lac Winery/Bistro. Room for us all in the living room, at the dining table and outside around the fire pit. Completely stocked and spotlessly clean.
Weekend Stay
Reviewed on 2024-05-28 by Shannon L. , Seattle, WA United StatesWe had a great stay at Bighorn & Bluebell! Beautiful modern home and ideal location close to pool. We can't wait to come back!
Second time staying - marvelous house for families to share
Reviewed on 2024-02-26 by Ryan R. , Kenmore, WA United StatesThis is our second time staying in Bighorn & Bluebell. The family that owns the home and designed the experience were really thoughtful. Every room was spotless and comfortable. We brought along our 3 kids (6, 4, 1.5) and grandparents. The first time we had two families with 5 kids (6, 5, 4, 3, 1.5).
The garage play space and proximity to the heated pool were major highlights. The kitchen had everything you need, and the beds were very comfortable.
There were some issues with the HVAC system both times we stayed. The kids bunkroom drops down to ~50 F at night, when the rest of the house is set at 69-71. The other bedrooms upstairs also drop in temperature, but none as severe as the kids room.
Luckily there are plenty of blankets. We informed the lookout staff during both stays. During our first visit the low temperature was -20F - they sent an HVAC crew that looked at it, but they only changed the filter. We were surprised the issue was still present during our second stay. The low temps were ~35F. This time the thermostat showed a pressurization error. The lookout staff decided to not call an HVAC crew since it was the weekend. Hopefully this gets address before your stay. Its a premium to rent the home and a lot to manage at night.
Second challenge was the advertised EV charger did not work either visit. We brought two EVs, so this was important for us in selecting the home. Fortunately, the staff allowed us to use the neighbors EV charger since it wasn't busy / reserved.
We've stayed in a number of lookout homes over the years. This is among our favorite. Being at the entrance, it is very convenient for the pool and playground. The tradeoff is you see every car that comes in an out of the neighborhood. Didn't bother us, but if you want more privacy you might select a different home.
TLDR: premium rental filled with amenities. New home with some HVAC and EV charger issues to solve. Still recommend to others.<br/><br/>This is our second time staying in Bighorn & Bluebell.

No better place to be stuck inside!
Reviewed on 2024-02-01 by Niki L. , Kenmore, WA United StatesKids and adults all loved the arcade games in the two game rooms, the bean bags to play video games and watch a movie, the comfy sectional where we could all fit to chat and play games.
The kids were smitten with the outer space bunk room with so many cool touches like the galaxy lights. The huge kitchen had more than everything we needed to make all our meals.
We were there during Winter Fest and got to see the fireworks from the yard while bundled up and making s’mores over the fire pit.
Not a negative thing to say. Loved it all and our friends already have a second stay booked :)
We stayed at Bighorn & Bluebell for 3 nights during the super cold spell (-5°!) in January. We have 5 kids ranging from 1 to 6 years old between our two families and it was the perfect place to spend time indoors! <br/>Kids and adults all loved the arcade games in the two game rooms, the bean bags to play video games and watch a movie, the comfy sectional where we could all fit to chat and play games. <br/>The kids were smitten with the outer space bunk room with so many cool touches like the galaxy lights.

Best staycation!
Reviewed on 2023-09-02 by Samantha H. , Snohomish, WA United StatesBighorn and bluebell was a perfect spot for a family vacation close to home! They have put so much thought into just about everything there. Plenty of things to keep us busy at the house if we weren't at the lake or pool. Everything in the community is in walking distance or had transportation to get to where you wanted to go. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back, making it a summer tradition.
