We stayed 2 nights in the bottom unit of the property. Lovely views (as promised), convenient location (we walked to a live Blues band, right down the street at the Spar Bar). Would recommend to anyone looking to experience a nice weekend out in Tacoma!

Family Vacation over the 4th

This was a great location to spend our time in the Tacoma–Seattle area. We picked the spot because of its location between Seattle and Mount Rainier National Park. The house was a great size for a family of four. It was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated that the location is a short walk to food and coffee shops. Parking was also very easy. There is a decent amount of train and traffic noise, but if that’s not an issue for you, this is a fantastic spot.

Awesomeness

The home is amazing. It would be even better with a sheer curtain for some privacy by the kitchen or some blinds in the living room to deflect some of the sun at 0500.

Old Tacoma Gem

The facility was very clean and well kept. There were a lot of steps to get to it but once there it was worth climbing the steps. The view was very very nice. We had one issue with the air conditioning and it was fixed promptly. Communicating with the host was easy. We would not hesitate renting this place again.
