About this property

Cozy Cottage On the Puyallup River - Waterfront / Hot Tub

Welcome to our charming riverside retreat in the heart of historic downtown Puyallup. The Cozy Cottage is a modern cabin vibe that is warm and inviting which makes you feel right at home. Whether you're seeking casual luxury or just a place to relax and unwind, this is the perfect spot for you.

Our fully stocked kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with all the essentials and even a gas stove for cooking up delicious meals. Wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and enjoy a light breakfast with provided oatmeal, nuts and brown sugar.

The cozy office space is perfect for catching up on work or checking emails with high-speed internet.

Relax and restore in our newly installed top-of-the-line salt water hot tub (comfortably seats 4) and watch the river stream by while nature envelopes you. Snuggle up next to the warm fire and watch movies on the 55" inch TV with a fantastic soundbar.

Need to stay active? Hit the home gym and break a sweat with the elliptical, weights, and more.

Rest easy in luxurious towels and Turkish robes, and sink into the comfy king/queen beds with premium linens and plenty of pillow options.

Step outside to enjoy the breathtaking river views from two covered patios, or cozy up by the outdoor fireplace with a s'mores kit and cocktail station. Experience the undercurrent of small town Americana with excellent local restaurants, events at the Fairgrounds, or a leisurely stroll through the Farmer's Markets.

Come and explore all that Puyallup has to offer and let the Cozy Cottage on the River be your home away from home. Relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories in this cozy haven by the water.

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed. The setting is spectacular. Right on the river. The home is lovely and well equipped. Nothing is cheap or shabby. It truly was a home away from home. We will plan to come back again.

Recent stay at Cozy Cottage

The cottage was beautiful inside and out. The host thought of every detail. The river view was amazing! We fished and enjoyed the outdoors in the spacious outdoor living area. We visited the Puyallup Farmers Market and Washington State fair. What a wonderful area to explore on the last weekend of summer.

Absolutely Wonderful! Highly Recommend Staying Here

We stayed here when our daughter was getting married at a nearby venue. It was perfect. We were able to relax and feel pampered amid all of the wedding activities. The hot tub was wonderful, as was sitting on the deck by the fire table. Every detail was taken care of and the host was so responsive to questions. I wish we could have stayed longer -- the Cozy Cottage is a little piece of heaven.

Amazing property, wonderful hosts!

Hands down recommend that any traveler stay at the Cozy Cottage. The name is not misleading, it truly is cozy and lovely. It’s beautiful with so many thoughtful touches. It’s very clean, the linens are soft and comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with anything you might need. The outdoor space is amazing with a beautiful view of the river. It’s is very conveniently located for any of your Puyallup/Tacoma adventures. Lisa was incredibly proactive at making sure we had everything that we needed. Lisa, Shane, and Linda have raised the bar, truly the best property we’ve stayed at. You can tell it’s important to them to be good hosts and make guests comfortable. They have thought of everything and put in many fun little surprises.

Wonderful property

This property is beautiful inside and out. You can tell the owners take great pride in making sure all who stay here are happy and comfortable. The beds are super comfy, and so is the furniture. We spent time outside enjoying the peaceful river view and were so glad that even the outdoor furniture was comfy. The yard is quite big and the landscaping is beautiful. There were so many amenities in all rooms - everything and more that you could want in the kitchen; bathrooms also fully stocked with toiletries and bedrooms had lots of blanket and pillow options. The host was super attentive and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be my first choice next time I'm in Puyallup.

Perfect Cottage!

We have stayed at many wonderful places through the years but this one, by far had the nicest touches. First, it was way more spacious than we thought. The layout is perfect and so nice for a family. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nicely appointed. We were greeted with the nicest treats and amenities. It was a perfect way to begin. I can’t rave enough about this home! From booking to check-out, it was amazing and we will be back!

Perfect Location

We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage on the river. The location was in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to downtown Puyallup. Lisa was an excellent host and made sure we had everything to make our stay comfortable. The fresh tulips and croissants where a nice touch when we checked in. The home had everything we needed. We enjoyed the back porch with the fire table and propane bbq watching the river and birds.

Truly Exceptional!

If you’re considering booking this VRBO, do yourself a favor and book immediately. I cannot say enough good things about this cottage or our hosts. Our 10 night stay gave us ample opportunity to develop an informed opinion. The home is spotless, the layout is accommodating and all on one level, the river views are lovely, as are the multiple outdoor gathering areas, complete with everything from an array of comfortable furniture, a propane fire table and a large hot tub. The interior furnishings are incredibly comfortable, with an assortment of cozy seating in the sitting room, enhanced during our winter stay by the gas fire in the den. The mattresses and linens were blissfully comfortable. The kitchen was incredibly well appointed with every appliance, cooking implement or other item we could have wanted. As part of the stellar communication from the hosts, a very detailed information book on the house was provided, which included, among other things, instructions with images on how to use appliances with which we were unfamiliar. From plenty of pillows to a variety of throw blankets to lights, occasional tables and nightstands in all the right places, this was unequivocally the most comfortable, accommodating, well appointed rental house I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. From my initial booking inquiry to our final text after departure, the hosts were prompt, courteous, helpful, considerate and thorough in their communication. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Knows how to do a VRBO. Wish others would learn from these owners.

I usually don’t give a review, but Lisa knows how to do a VRBO. She had an an abundance of everything. Towels/soaps/full kitchen, making sure your stay was a vacation. No stripping of beds/a sign welcoming our party. Just a gem in communication on what to do around the area and the town is so cute with great eating establishments. Thanks Lisa and crew for making it so comfortable.

So perfect, it's hard to properly emphasize just how much! So many little touches (100's) ... awesome communication with host, Lisa. Very tranquil and calm, and just wish we could stay for a few more weeks. Very convenient to everything. We would rate 5++ stars if possible. When back in Seattle, we will definitely book this home, hopefully for a few weeks next time. Reserve this home, and you will not regret your choice. As I said: Perfect++

Hi, we are Lisa and Shane
I (Lisa) moved up to the Pacific Northwest in 2007 from CA and have enjoyed living here in the South Puget Sound area. Love the fast-paced, jam-packed summers and the more relaxed other seasons with my husband, 3 kiddos. We are in real estate and my passion is transforming homes and bringing back their former glory, being outside enjoying the most beautiful place to live. Shane moved here in 1995 and has loved calling it home. Check out www.cozycottageontheriver.com and www.labellanido.com

Why they chose this property

Better than a hotel! So many reasons why this property is the one to choose. If you like being close to the action but feeling like you're in a secluded area/cabin. If you like beautiful view of nature with flowing river in your backyard along with outdoor fireplace. If you like quality and casual luxury in the comfort of the furniture, linens, towels and beautiful yet rustic decor. If you like uber comfortable bedding, rain showers in your bathtub, soaking tub with jets. If you like fishing, walking/running along a river or visiting many sightseeing hotspots along with great independent restaurants. If you like being able to work out while you're away, or working remotely with high speed internet and a desk.... If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the "why this property."

What makes this property unique

This is a single story home that has been remodeled but highlights comfort and home and in decor you don't find in many short term rentals. We have 2.5 bathrooms and one is a walk in shower. There is only one step! We have fishing gear, an elliptical and games along with outdoor dining area for those summer months!
