Great stay at this huge & beautiful home
Stayed here with family, grandparents, aunties and uncles and cousins over winter holidays. The mansion was just like its pictures on Vrbo, very clean. We enjoyed a comfortable stay with lots of convos in comfy living room and enjoyed many meals with many relatives at the long dining table. Kids enjoyed a muddy romp and exploration on the farm fields on the property Property mgrs were very available and helpful, when I had a few ?s Recommend if you’re traveling with a crowd!

Sanders Estate
My 4th time at Sanders Estate. Great experience as always. All family and friends enjoyed their stay and the tranquil park like setting. Peaceful and quiet yet only 30 minutes from Seattle or Bellevue and 10 minutes from major grocery stores and shops at the Kent station mall. I highly recommend this place for a family or friends getaway or reunion.

Wonderful Stay at Sanders Estate
What a gorgeous property and house! We had such a fun time and had plenty of room for everyone visiting from different states. The kids and teens enjoyed talking walks around the property and hanging out by the lake. Thank you Virginia and Mike for your hospitality and for making our stay so memorable and special!

Best family reunion we've ever had
Held a family reunion here in Oct 2019 and it was magical. We had 9 guests and 3 dogs. It was the perfect venue for us. The rooms were lovely. The dining area was more than ample. We had lots of activities in the house. We carved pumpkins. We cooked meals. We ate together in the lovely dining room. We watched movies. But mostly we just enjoyed each other’s company, chatting-it-up until the wee hours of the morning. Mike and Virginia were wonderful. They were very attentive from the get-go and more than willing to assist us with whatever we needed. Their cheerful disposition made everyone feel right at home. They are very lovely people, very kind. My mother (grandma) said that she hadn’t such a good time in many years. I think everyone will cherish the memories made in this lovely home (more like a mansion). I brought an Intel NUC and hooked it up to the TV and we had a blast playing Jackbox games. The house already had an Xfinity box. My (strong) suggestion to Mike & Virginia: Buy all 6 Jackbox Party Pack games (along with Drawful 2) via the Xfinity cable box and promote it to your guests! I promise it will be a huge hit! (The kids loved it and grandma was laughing so hard that she cried.) Steve’s favorite Jackbox games for a family reunion (ranked from worst to best): 7) You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream (Party Pack 5) 1-8 players 6) Tee K. O. (Party Pack 3) [3-8 players] Best played with 5 players 5) Push the Button (Party Pack 6) [4-10 players] – Note: This game is very different from the others listed here. It’s a bit like “Mafia-in-Space”: Players need to deceive each other. This game is very different from the others listed here.] 4) Patently Stupid (Party Pack 5) [3-8 players] 3) Fibbage 3 (Party Pack 4) [2-8 players] 2) Quiplash 2 (Party Pack 3) [3-8 players] 1) Drawful 2 (Standalone game) [3-8 players] Thanks so much to Mike & Virginia for making our trip one that we’ll carry with us for a lifetime!

I thought I was staying alone
If I’m paying that amount per night I would like to know that somebody will be staying directly under me. and that I can’t actually use the 37 acres. I feel like It was false advertisement

Great Property for family reunion
Very much enjoyed this property. eight of us stayed and we had 10 others over for dinner. The room were well appointed clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as a TRAGER smoker and barbeque to use if needed. The grounds were wonderful with lots of area to explore as well as a private lake with swans and a small to use if requested. Property is 10 min from many restaurant's in the Kent WA area and about 45 min from downtown Seattle.

We absolutely fell in love with this place!
My wife and I rented this Sanders Estate for our wedding weekend for the space and the house. It was absolutely perfect! The grounds are gorgeous, as well as the house. I couldn’t count how many times every one from our wedding party wanted to buy this house. Mike, the owner, was on the grounds and checking in on us throughout the stay just to make sure we were comfortable, as well as the property manager Tara. I HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway for family and friends.

My stay was great!
We used this house for our wedding weekend for our people to stay at. House was lovely, owners were great and went out of their way for us. Thanks, Mike & Virginia. Nice touches, a great room for makeup to be done and plenty of spots for people to make a little sleeping spot. Notes: There isn't a good coffee pot. I would suggest getting a nice big one so people can bring coffee as opposed to pods. The owners were so sweet and brought us some, but we would have liked to use the coffee we got. Blue Ribbon has some crazy rules.... but all in all, I was happy with the level of service and stay.

Stunning
The Venue was perfect for my Grandmothers 84th Birthday! She enjoyed her stay and that’s all that matters and count! Above all, the place was stunning, starting from entrance point. The garden was beautiful with a swan that caught the attention on the private lake! Amazing! Virginia was great as well the husband who was always there in case of emergency! I will definitely return same date next year and planning on to this annually! Thank you! Cora A Afalava

Fabulous!!!
Our family, 3 couples and one single, stayed at this paradise property from July 9, 2016 to July 16, 2016 for our annual family vacation . We experienced the best time of our lives both on the property and out and about Seattle. The house is very clean and spacious with four large bedrooms, a large dinning room and table that seated all 7 of us. We also took full advantage of kicking back and relaxing in the Seattle sun on the incredibly large deck. The outdoors are breath taking with manicured grounds. It is surrounded by breath-taking flower gardens and a pond with a swan name Curtis. The management and owners were just awesome! The property owner (Mike) took the time to surprise us with a home made Blackberry pie of which he personally pick the berries and baked the pie and provided a gallon of vanilla ice cream, my favorite, to go along with it. The property manager gave us a warm welcome with a great smile and tasty snacks upon our arrival. They all went our of their way to make us feel welcome and like family. We are planning to visit there again next year. We just want to say “Thank You!!!” to the management and property owner for making our stay relaxing and fabulous. Again, Thank You for your outstanding customer service.
