We enjoyed our stay! The owners have put a lot of thoughts to make this place a great home away from home. Well stocked kitchen to make quick meals, enjoy morning coffee, and our favorite spot is to sit next to the fireplace during the cold evenings. We will be back!

Perfect pet-friendly spot Clean, well maintained property with communicative owners. Furthermore, clear, posted instructions for everything in the house from the washer/dryer to check in/out. Hottub is a total bonus. Grateful for the pet friendly accommodations. Well worth it.

Excellent property in a great location This property was perfect for my family. It is in an excellent location within walking distance to Point Defiance Park and the Vashon ferry. There are really good restaurants all around. The property is clean and well appointed. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone going to Tacoma.

Great location! Stayed here for 3 nights so we could take the kids to the zoo. Point Defiance is only a few minutes away. The property had everything we needed and was very clean. There were toys, games, and books for the children. The hot tub was a nice perk!
