Tacoma Cottage
We enjoyed our peaceful stay. The cottage is cute and offers a nice layout with 2 bedrooms separated by a kitchen/dining area. We loved all the window lines, view of the pond, fireplaces, etc.

Absolutely Wonderful
Such a great location. Very quiet even with other rentals on the property. Super clean, very comfortable, and our host Barbara was available if needed the entire time. She accommodated my need for a box fan immediately, responded to all messages immediately. Definitely one of my best stays!

The pictures don't do this place justice. It was beautiful and so peaceful. There isn't a bad view from any spot in the house. The owner, Barbara makes it even better. She went above and beyond for us during out stay. We look forward to visiting here again very soon!

Short stay for move
We had a lovely stay at this property. It met our basic needs and the hostess is a doll. I missed that it really had no area to sit and hang out and that effected us greatly at the end of a each day. We also wanted to cook in more and it was a challenge but we made it work.The area is beautiful and very close to the JBLM area.

Amazing house and hostess
This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The house is set in a beautiful location and is very nice. It would have easily accomodated 4 people and had room to visit with other family. Our hostess, Barbara, is a wonderful person and was super helpful. We can't recommend this rental enough - in fact we've already suggested our daughters book this house for their upcoming visit to the Tacoma area.

Barbara was a great host liked having her on the property. Very responsive in taking care of all our needs. Blinds on the windows in the common areas would be nice for privacy.

Welcoming and Clean
Barbara is an amazing hostess - available to answer any questions, very accessible. The cottage is beautiful, well designed, and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. Love the kitchen island and outdoor decks on two sides. Ample room for parking. Absolutely lovely visit, we will be back.

Great place to stay!
This was a great place to stay that has everything you need. It was close enough to go and see the surrounding attractions but yet it still felt peaceful and secluded. The only thing I can say that would have made it better is if there had been a living room/sitting area besides a dining room table to visit with the individuals we shared the cottage with. The dining room table was not the most comfortable area for that. The homeowner was very nice and willing to help if we needed anything. Would recommend it if you are looking for somewhere in the area.

Simply amazing
This is a lovely cottage located in a serene place with beautiful wildlife and your own pond. It has open space, chic, comfortable, and with all the amenities you wish for (heated floor, ergonomic bed, open kitchen). We feel rested after 3 nights here. The hostess is super nice and helpful. You just want to retire here.

Beautiful Setting
Overall our stay went well…there were things that I would like to see different. The main living area to sit and visit in was just the big island and dining table. No couch or chairs available which wasn’t a huge issue but just something I was not use to.
