The location can’t be beat. The home is a historic house, so keep that in mind when booking. Old homes have their quirks and this home definitely has some quirks. The bed was very comfortable.

Charming historic retreat

Autumn was wonderful! The home was lovely. The landscape was gorgeous! We enjoyed our stay even though we were in town for my brother’s funeral. Thanks to Autumn for all of her answers to our questions.

Our stay was absolutely incredible—the photos truly don’t capture how beautiful this place is! My favorite spot was definitely the kitchen, with its gorgeous windows framing the stunning scenery outside. Mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee, surrounded by vibrant trees, plants, and flowers, felt so peaceful and refreshing. With nine of us, we never once felt cramped—there was plenty of room for everyone, and the beds were unbelievably soft and cozy. This home made our trip unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for the experience!

The house worked out well, the yard was beautiful and beds were good. The bathroom situation is odd but we were family so worked it out. We will use this house again if needed.

Quaint cottage near the water

We had a great stay at this comfortable and accurately listed home. The location was wonderful—close to the water—and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the backyard porch. The kitchen was bright, spacious, and perfect for our needs. We did notice some ants in the upstairs bathroom, but the host was quick to respond and addressed the situation to ensure it’s resolved for future guests. Overall, it was a great place to rest after busy days exploring Mount Rainier. Thank you!

Home Sweet Home

This home has everything you need to relax, kick back, watch a sunset, bbq on the deck, run around in the gorgeous yard, smell the roses and more. Quiet neighborhood, very close to the water, which has a great boardwalk you can go to at sunset or sunrise. We loved our stay and Autumn and Blythe were so accommodating with all our needs. And there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for folks to stay overnight comfortably. Highly recommend staying here if you need a get away.

Cute and spacious house in a great location. Beautiful views and responsive property management. Beds were comfortable, and loved the backyard. Only real recommendation was for better pillows. Plenty of utensils for cooking, and appliances, plenty of plates and cups and what not. Great and quiet neighborhood. Definitely a bit warm in the summer with no AC, but fans were available to us.

From the Owner: "Thank you for alerting me about the pillows! I’ll be sure to buy new ones. I do replace them regularly, but they must have gotten a lot of use this summer!"
