Great place to stay and relaxing

This cottage is located in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, with a pond, trees and nice area. Its updated and provides a great space to hang out, but yet separate enough to be in your own space. The host is friendly, helpful and overall a great person. Highly recommend staying here if your in the area. Overall, we loved the place.

Beautiful home and oasis in the middle of Tacoma!

This home is unbelievable! The property it’s on makes you feel like you’re in a private resort! Barb is the host and one of the most delightful women we’ve ever met. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the places to sit and relax and visit or numerous. We would highly recommend and hope to return.

Peaceful getaway, charming cottage and host.

We had such a great time staying at Barbara’s cottage in the Seattle-Tacoma area. The place was absolutely charming—peaceful, cozy, and perfectly located for all the hiking we wanted to do. Barbara was an incredible host—super welcoming, responsive, and thoughtful, but also gave us plenty of space to relax and enjoy our time. After long days exploring the trails, it was such a treat to come back to a quiet, comfortable cottage that felt like home. Can’t recommend it enough—thank you, Barbara!

Super Nice

The host, Barbara, lives in the house next door and is very welcoming and kind. She was baking the day we got there and offered us a mini banana bread loaf which was very moist and delicious. The house was very beautiful, clean, gated, and on a scenic piece of property with streams going through the property and a cute pond. I would stay here again

VRBO adjacent to Pacific Lutheran University

The location was excellent. The size was just right. The grounds were beautiful.However there were quite a few ants which is not something that can be taken care of right away, although they tried. I was also not used to a VRBO owner asking so many detailed questions about our trip and our daily whereabouts..
