It was a delightful getaway. Felt we had chosen well and we were rewarded. We even stayed home an entire day between the special events we were there for followed the sun around the deck and enjoyed the geese and squirrels. Have already booked another event for Autumn.

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.

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.

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.

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.
