The Reddish House: 6th Ave, UPS, UW, Ruston

Completely remodeled in 2022! This bright and updated historic home is filled with charm and centered in Tacoma’s newest, most up and coming neighborhood. Tacoma's 6th Avenue district is located between Proctor/UPS, West Slope, and Hilltop, and has the highest concentration of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and shopping in the city. The home is walking distance to most destinations or an easy bus ride on the #1 bus route. UW Tacoma, Tacoma Dome, and JBLM are also in close proximity, with Mt Rainier < 2 hours away.

This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was built in 1896 and exudes rustic charm with tall ceilings, original molding and hardwood floors. The main floor features a family room, dining room and airy kitchen that opens onto a large rear deck. The bathrooms and kitchen have been fully renovated, with many other upgrades throughout the house. Guests may enjoy relaxing on the front porch on summer evenings or from more privacy, enjoy the fully fenced back yard and deck. The home offers premium HD cable (YouTube TV) and high-speed wireless internet. There is off-street parking for 2 vehicles, and ample street parking available. The home sleeps 4 in privacy, and washer/dryer are provided.

Neighborhood:
You are steps away from 10+ bars and restaurants on 6th avenue. Downtown and the Proctor neighborhood are only minutes away. Some of my favorite local places are Half Pint Pizza, Asado, The Red Hot, and Engine House No. 9. In Proctor the Tacos at Brewers Row and fantastic.

The guest manual is located on the kitchen counter.

Please note: For food safety reasons, we do not stock our units with consumables. This includes spices and condiments.

Comfy stay in Tacoma

Excellent 2 bedroom home, spacious rooms with 2 full baths. My wife and I stayed here for our son's wedding this past September. Nice laundry facilities, kitchen, dining and living rooms. Great location, easy to get to restaurants and shopping. Easy drive to Point Defiance Park and the water. We would definitely stay here again when we visit our son.

Great Stay!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was just as described, super clean and comfortable. It was nicely decorated, and there was a detailed information binder. Check-in/out was seamless, and communication with the owner during our stay was quick and easy. The downstairs portable air conditioner didn't really work during our stay, but it was a minor inconvenience. Luckily, the evenings were cool. It would have been nice to have screens on the front windows, but we opened them up anyway and didn't have any bug issues. The neighborhood was fine, though a little noisy early in the morning on the weekend. We felt safe and the location is an easy walking distance to several shops and restaurants.

Cute home in a cute neighborhood

Came to Tacoma as part of a cross country trip, and to visit family. The Reddish house was very close walking distance to my family and offered the additional convenience of shopping and dining places near by.

A little gem in Tacoma

It’s beautifully decorated and redone. The hosts were lovely and very responsive. It’s so close to a lot of restaurants and shops but still very peaceful and quite. It’s well equipped for the exception of condiments and spices. If I had to stay in Tacoma I would definitely stay here again.

Great location & house

We were very happy with our stay overall. The house has personality & it is located in a great part of town. We were able to take short walks to restaurants and stores. The owner provided very clear instructions and communicated well. My only suggestion/request is to please provide more towels!
