About this property

Dog-Friendly 2-Bedroom MIL on Cushman Trail in Gig Harbor

So much space in this apartment! And just around the corner from our local paved exercise path, the Cushman Trail. A large laundry room to yourself, and covered patio to enjoy the nice days. The location is convenient to get to all of Gig Harbor, with amenities just around the corner from the house. The famous Hangar Clinic and downtown Gig Harbor are 1.5 miles down the street.
Enjoy 1000sq ft of living space! Located in a safe neighborhood, the space is the lower floor of a house converted into a mother in law apartment, isolated from the main living area upstairs with separate entrance- perfectly private and no shared spaces! It has everything a hotel provides, in addition to the comforts of home.

Includes:
-Full sized kitchen with full fridge, oven and microwave
-Full sized laundry room
-Variety of tea and whole quality Arabica bean coffee
-Essentials for cooking in your kitchen.
-Full sized bathroom with shampoo, soap, and hair dryer
-Smart TV with Fire TV streaming device and Amazon Prime.

There is no thermostat in the apartment. We usually keep the space at 70F (+\- 2F). If you get chilly there is a space heater in the apartment for your use.

We have plenty of parking: you are free to park anywhere along the street in front of the house.

Small adult dogs are welcome, as long as they get along with other dogs, cats, and children. They are not welcome if they have fleas, are overly noisy (barking), and are not fully potty trained. My dog and cat use the back yard and patio, so be prepared to say hi. Not more than 2 dogs allowed per booking. Water and food bowls are provided at the property. Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds/bedding. Backyard is not fully fenced, and dogs must be supervised and never left alone at any time when inside or outside. Please be prepared to pick up after your dog.
I do not accept the following breeds or mixes thereof at my home:
Pit bull
Rottweiler
Chow Chow
Wolf dogs and hybrid
Presa Canario (canary dog)
Akita
Mastiff
Alaskan Malamute
If bringing your furry friend, please state in your introduction what breed they are and that they meet the above criteria.
The apartment is easy to reach and has its own entrance on its own patio. The pathway to get to the patio is all paved. Just beyond the patio is the back yard, which guests are welcome to use.
If bringing a dog, please plan to pick up after your dog.
-We live on the upper floor, and although we are typically very quiet, there is a chance you may hear overhead noise or footsteps. It is our intention to keep quiet hours between 11pm - 9am and try to be as courteous as possible throughout the day and night. If you are in any way sensitive to overhead noise, this may not be the ideal space for you.
Other things to note:
-There are 6 stairs that must be climbed to and from your apartment, between the carport and patio.
-The driveway is on a slope.
-We have a cat and a small dog that lives upstairs. The cat is often found in the back yard and on the patio, but is not allowed in the apartment.

We enjoyed our two days in Gig Harbor. My pet traveled with me and the accommodations were perfect and the hosts pets were adorable.. The space was as presented in the pictures and the private entrance was greatly appreciated since we got in a little bit later our first night than we anticipated. This is a basement apartment so there is some noise from above. They do however, furnish earplugs should you need them.

Fit our needs perfectly. The host does note that it’s a basement apartment, so we were prepared for that. A little bit of noise from upstairs, but overall a great experience! Would book again if we need a place to stay in Gig Harbor.Excellent location!

We are mid 70’s ladies. It was a bit of a challenge getting our luggage from the street parking down the driveway and stairs to the unit. The unit was nice and as described

The details of the listing are accurate as for as they go but you may want to consider some things that were not mentioned.• There are no shelves or drawers for clothes storage in the bedrooms. The closets only have luggage racks, no hangers. The bedrooms are only big enough to fit the bed and a nightstand (the second bedroom does have a small desk though). • The bedding is nothing special. I slept well, but my wife ended up with sore back for the first time in her life. • The bathroom has very little counter space and no cupboard space, so you'llfind it hard to fit in a lot of beauty products.• The host has provided earplugs, a sure clue that you might hear some overhead noise. We heard a baby and pets mornings and evenings, with some running around by the latter. The noise wasn't constant and we did not find it too objectionable, but you may be more sensitive.• The kitchen is fairly well stocked, but there is not much counter space. That just means that you'll be pulling appliances out of the cupboards when you need to use them.ON THE PLUS SIDE the location is excellent. The street is very quiet, and the house is less than a mile away from groceries like the fancy Metropolitan Market and other essential shopping and restaurant sites. We never had to drive more than ten minutes to get to anywhere we wanted to go in Gig Harbor. We enjoyed our stay very much despite the slight inconveniences.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 September 2026
Hi Sheldon, thank you for your thorough and honest review. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, despite some grievances about the space. I would like to mention that there are hangars in the closets actually, although I agree that there’s not much counter space in the bathroom. However, there is plenty of space to store things in the bathroom, including a vanity, cabinet on the wall over the toilet, and large closet with many shelves. I’ve done my best to depict exactly what you’re getting out of the space in the listing photos. I have never claimed to supply any kind of luxury bedding items. I just wanted to clarify those couple of points. Thank you! Bethany

Because I booked through Expedia and not directly through VRBO, the owner and I were struggling to connect. She was updating VRBO, but I couldn’t see it there. I had finally called VRBO to get her information to try to contact her when I hadn’t heard anything. It was difficult to start our communication, and there was no secure communication location for us.

Very nice place to stay. Description and pictures are accurate and quite neighborhood. Close to stores and other attractions. Very comfortable place to stay and well stocked kitchen to cook in.Only downside was the first night there. Hearing a man’s voice and laughter coming from the second floor. Otherwise, any noise coming from the second floor was minimal.
