The photos do not do this place justice. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the cottage is well appointed and very nice. We loved hearing the tinkling of the fountain on our way in and out. We loved sitting on the darling little patio out back. So cute all around. We had such a nice stay. Highly recommend!

The Cottage is magical! The setting is serene, comfortable, and absolutely gorgeous. It is very easy to get to restaurants and shops and the water. They have some local recommendations printed out, and I followed a notional itinerary suggested going through Steilacoom, Ruston, and Gig Harbor, these did not dissapoint. Great place to stay and a great host!

What a great place to stay! We didn’t have a lot of time to really enjoy it, but will be booking again into spring so we can take in the full experience with the beautifully manicured gardens. Clean, well appointed and great service- excellent!

Dawn is the best guest ever! Dawn, I quickly gave you 5 stars in all categories, and it appears the cleanliness accidentally was 4 stars! I’m panicking trying to figure out how to make it right as you deserve 10 stars in all categories - especially cleanliness!! Calling VRBO now!

Quaint and relaxing

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I would have to say this cottage was one of the most beautiful Vrbo’s I’ve stayed in. Everything was as described in the listing and then some! I couldn’t recommend this place more.
