Amazing home. Was like a little slice of heaven! Loved the outdoor garden. So peaceful in morning to enjoy our coffee. Had everything you needed. Comfortable beds; very clean; everything we needed in the kitchen plus some; very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room to park in driveway for several cars if needed. It felt like we were at home while there. We visit family in the area so will be back!

Quiet retreat, Near everything

We really enjoyed our stay. Home is in a quiet neighborhood, but within minutes of freeways that allow you to reach all the nearby cities (Tacoma, Renton, Sumner, Puyallup) in minutes. Seattle is 60-90 minutes.

Nice home with restrictions

Owner has used light colors to make home appealing but that puts an onus on renters for no shoes in the house. Beds comfortable, ample towels and linens. Kitchen is well stocked but disorganised. Refrigerator has many stable items but some seem fairly old. Loud party across street on Saturday nite and three train’s horns at night. Grocery shopping over 5 miles away. Borders on three stars. Have rented multiple VRBO properties. Suggest you bring slippers if you rent. .

About the host

Hosted by Steve Sherman

Host profile image
Thank you for choosing our family home. Our parents purchased this home in the late 1990’s as both their adult children had moved south of Seattle and they did not want to miss seeing their grandchildren grow up without having them close. For almost 20 years our mom and dad traveled in their motorhome back and forth to Arizona using this home as their convenient base of operations. You will find that we have left items that will make your stay feel more like you are at home. The back yard flower gardens and bird feeders are expressions of our mom’s love of the outdoors and our native birds, we hope you have a chance to enjoy. We will try to feed our winged guests during the summer months and hope you see one’s you’ve never seen before. We have shared many family events here in this home and want you to share in the joy we have had. Please let us know if we can assist in any way to make your stay more enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We are a large rambler so getting around for our older guests is very easy. We sleep six (6) people in regular beds but also have an inflatable queen bed for those extra two people who didn't want to stay home. The location of our home is also ideal with Seattle to the north, Tacoma and Gig Harbor to the South and Mt. Rainier to the East. All short drives from the driveway of our house.

What makes this property unique

You will find every little thing in our house since our parents used to live there. From all the nick knacks that your may have in your kitchen to a beautiful back yard, you'll never know your at a rental. It will feel like your home!!
