Koi Story Cabin - Lakefront, near Bike Trail
Welcome to Koi Story Cabin, a lakefront rustic retreat only 40 minutes away from Seattle. Located on gorgeous wooded hillside, it sits in the perfect spot to take in the serene views of the water and enjoy the peace and quiet of the non-motorized lake as well as nature and many of it's inhabitants. Watch squirrels, hummingbirds, ducks and koi fish right from your patio. A true nature lover's paradise!
The cabin has a cozy mountain lodge design and beautiful ambient lighting. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and has all basic cooking and dining supplies you may need for a family dinner. While you cook keep the kids busy and in sight by having them play at the train table nearby. Enjoy your meals together in a glass atrium, take it outside for an epic barbecue or make it a date and dine by the water to soak in the views. Bedrooms include a whimsical aspen built queen bed and a twin trundle bed. Sleep two more guests on the queen pull-out couch in the living room.
With 40 feet of lakefront on Lake Wilderness, Koi Story Cabin is the ideal home base for a fun and relaxing getaway - whether it is finding zen by our very own private koi fish pond and reading a book in a glass atrium overlooking the lake, or enjoying the outdoors to the fullest: we have kayaks, floats and bikes for you to use. If you are visiting during the summer the lake is perfect for swimming: the water gets warm and kids will have a blast playing with the blow-up water toys.
While Koi Story Cabin feels just the right amount of secluded, you're still only 4 miles away from local grocery stores and shopping. Lake Wilderness Park is 1.3 miles out and is home to many outdoor adventures like fishing, swimming, kids playground and various events. While you are here, be sure to check out Cedar River Trail that is located just steps away from the cabin. It offers a great nature walk for hikers or a day long adventure if you are up for some cycling. It is one of the best trails in King County as it is completely away from traffic, surrounded by trees with glimpses of river, lake and occasional horses.
After a long day of biking or swimming decamp to the family room for a movie night by the fireplace, looking out the floor-to ceiling windows at the beautiful landscape. Koi Story Cabin is your perfect not-so-distant weekend escape to relax, recharge and feel one with nature.

Excellent customer service
We love the Koi Story Cabin. We were there for the Cyclone Bomb this year. No electricity for 4 days. The staff was amazing! They had us hooked up to a generator and the fire place kept us warm! We communicated with Elena, Ian and Sergei. They were so helpful and worked with our schedule. A delightful place to stay!

Can a house be this perfect?
A beautiful cabin in an amazing location. Meticulously clean.
We had a bit of a rough start. We understood there were steps, however the first 23 steps from parking to the cabin were narrow and a bit steep. The couple we were traveling with chose to stay elsewhere due to mobility and luggage carrying complications. It took us a bit to figured out how to access the kayaks and bikes. By then we were involved with family celebrations so we didn't use them at all.
Beautiful. Comfortable.

Tranquil getaway
Enjoying our stay at Koi Cabin is an understatement. The setting, decor and comfort of the cabin was excellent. The location is perfect for nature walks and quick access to shopping. The view of Lake was equally lovely. This is a perfect place for a couple or small family to enjoy Maple Valley.

Perfection!
This was our second time at the property. We go over Thanksgiving to be with our daughter and family that live close by. We are from the East Coast. We love the fact that it is close to our daughter’s house. The layout of the cottage is perfect for us. Kitchen is well stocked. Unfortunately we never have been there in the summer so can’t avail ourselves to the outdoor activities. We do hike the trail very near and played pickleball. Love Koi Cottage!!

Serent lakeside retreat
Peaceful and beautiful location, and a cozy cabin. My husband and I stayed at the Koi Story Cabin for a weekend away from our kids. This property is a pretty short drive from the Seattle area, but it feels secluded. We found the cabin to be very comfortable and clean, and absolutely loved the views of the lake, especially from the dining room with all of its windows. Would recommend!

Great Place to Stay Overlooking Lake
We checked in on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving for an 8-night stay. The cabin was spacious for 2 and had all the amenities you'd need.
It was near sunset, so we did not get a good view of the lake. The next morning, we were stunned by the view from the dining room (which was a fully enclosed glass room off the living room). The property is set on a hillside with two levels for seating. As it was cold, we did not take advantage of the hammock or fire pit. In season, they have two sit-on kayaks and a motorized platform/floating dock section that you can use to cruise the lake.
The caretakers told us about the steps up to the greenway/rail trail. This trail runs for miles through the woods and connects to a path through the arboretum. In the other direction, it is about a mile walk to a shopping center with a grocery store, a drug store and a pharmacy. There are 3 mountain bikes available for use.
The internet service is fine. There is a TV over the fireplace with many streaming channels.
The fireplace had a remote control can be used to control the room temperature thermostatically. The is baseboard electric heat in the bedroom and wall mounted thermostatically control heaters in the bathroom and sitting room of the kitchen. We were quite comfortable in the cabin even when the temperatures dipped below freezing at night.
If we come back to the area, we would definitely check the availability of Koi Cabin before booking something else.

Perfect ending to a business conference
Elena was very responsive. The housekeepers live right there and helped us with our bags and showed us the kayaks and mountain bikes. We ate dinner on the dock at the lake and ended the evening with a fire and a movie. We enjoyed being able to unwind and relax after a busy week. Very picturesque and very nice. Highly recommend.
