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!

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.

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!

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.

Quaint, well-loved home in a beautiful location....

This home is fun, quirky, well-loved, and magical. The garden is like an old English garden - beautiful and comforting! The home has the feel of years of well-loved moments and created memories. It is minutes from anything that you may need from groceries, to fast food places, to the marine biology center with an aquarium. And it's not too far from Seattle.
