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.

Splendid Retreat

My adult daughters and I planned a week long vacation. We truly enjoyed the cottage and can only describe it as a tranquil retreat. It was immaculately clean. The layout was perfect to come together and visit while enjoying the view of picturesque grounds that were beautifully landscaped. We had everything we could possibly need from the kitchen to the bath. The owner was an absolute delight and made sure to make us feel welcome.

Absolutely Wonderful

Such a great location. Very quiet even with other rentals on the property. Super clean, very comfortable, and our host Barbara was available if needed the entire time. She accommodated my need for a box fan immediately, responded to all messages immediately. Definitely one of my best stays!

The pictures don't do this place justice. It was beautiful and so peaceful. There isn't a bad view from any spot in the house. The owner, Barbara makes it even better. She went above and beyond for us during out stay. We look forward to visiting here again very soon!

Short stay for move

We had a lovely stay at this property. It met our basic needs and the hostess is a doll. I missed that it really had no area to sit and hang out and that effected us greatly at the end of a each day. We also wanted to cook in more and it was a challenge but we made it work.The area is beautiful and very close to the JBLM area.

Amazing house and hostess

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The house is set in a beautiful location and is very nice. It would have easily accomodated 4 people and had room to visit with other family. Our hostess, Barbara, is a wonderful person and was super helpful. We can't recommend this rental enough - in fact we've already suggested our daughters book this house for their upcoming visit to the Tacoma area.

Welcoming and Clean

Barbara is an amazing hostess - available to answer any questions, very accessible. The cottage is beautiful, well designed, and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. Love the kitchen island and outdoor decks on two sides. Ample room for parking. Absolutely lovely visit, we will be back.

Simply amazing

This is a lovely cottage located in a serene place with beautiful wildlife and your own pond. It has open space, chic, comfortable, and with all the amenities you wish for (heated floor, ergonomic bed, open kitchen). We feel rested after 3 nights here. The hostess is super nice and helpful. You just want to retire here.

Beautiful Setting

Overall our stay went well…there were things that I would like to see different. The main living area to sit and visit in was just the big island and dining table. No couch or chairs available which wasn’t a huge issue but just something I was not use to.

Cosy Cottage - An Oasis Not to Be Missed!

Our stay began with a delightful conversation with our host, Barbara. During our stay she checked in with us periodically to ensure our stay was comfortable. The cottage has lots of amenities and great views of the property. Large trees, several ponds, and birds. Our first morning while sipping my coffee a large bird landed in a tree just outside. My guess it was a golden eagle or an immature bald. It was fantastic!Close to several stores and restaurants, this is an ideal location for venturing around Tacoma.

An Eden Within An Oasis

We enjoyed delightful views of small bodies of water from every window, and an expansive, well-appointed, well-stocked kitchen. Even though our stay was in the depths of winter, the house is so well situated and the grounds so nicely designed, that it was a pleasure beyond expectations. Barbara was even kind enough to allow us to reschedule to a later time after our Christmas Eve Eve flight was cancelled due to a deep freeze. Highly recommended!

My family and I stayed at this property for four nights and enjoyed the beautifully designed cottage, spacious kitchen, large bathrooms, and peaceful views of the pond from the porch. We also appreciated the full-size washer and dryer. Barbara, the owner, made us feel welcome to her cottage which is in a private family compound. The main section of the guest cottage is the large open kitchen and eating area. Our family didn't miss having a living area (couch, television, etc) because there were televisions in the bedrooms, and we spent most of the time on the porch during our stay. We would return.

Serenity

This place is amazing. Loved, loved, loved it. It was so relaxing and Barbara was very precious. We honestly did not want to leave. I would definitely stay there again if I am ever in Parkland. However, if you are a chef or love to cook the kitchen was definitely lacking appliances. No blender, no mixer, no proper cutting knives, no measuring cups, no graters etc. If you love to eat out instead of cooking then you would have no problem finding good places to eat. The kitchen situation was the only drawback for me.

Comfortable stay with beautiful views

My sons and I stayed in Barbara's beautifully designed cottage over Memorial Day weekend for PLU's graduation ceremony. The kitchen has great appliances, the beds are good, and the bathrooms are spacious. (The primary bathroom feels as large as the bedroom.) There are plenty of cabinets and counterspace. Light streams in from every direction. We also appreciated the laundry room. Barbara's warm welcome and the gorgeous views were the icing on our stay. We enjoyed sitting on the porch observing the birds and gorgeous flowers around the pond. (We could hear some traffic noise from the nearby road, but it wasn't obtrusive.) There are plenty of chairs, inside and out, but no couch to sit on, since there is no living or family room. The kitchen-dining area is the main part of the guest cottage. That wasn't an issue for us, but may affect some visitors. We recommend the Tacoma Cottage--especially if you want a beautiful kitchen for cooking or eating in, or enjoy relaxing on a porch which has great views.
