Hands down recommend that any traveler stay at the Cozy Cottage. The name is not misleading, it truly is cozy and lovely. It’s beautiful with so many thoughtful touches. It’s very clean, the linens are soft and comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with anything you might need. The outdoor space is amazing with a beautiful view of the river. It’s is very conveniently located for any of your Puyallup/Tacoma adventures. Lisa was incredibly proactive at making sure we had everything that we needed. Lisa, Shane, and Linda have raised the bar, truly the best property we’ve stayed at. You can tell it’s important to them to be good hosts and make guests comfortable. They have thought of everything and put in many fun little surprises.

The cottage was beautiful inside and out. The host thought of every detail. The river view was amazing! We fished and enjoyed the outdoors in the spacious outdoor living area. We visited the Puyallup Farmers Market and Washington State fair. What a wonderful area to explore on the last weekend of summer.

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed. The setting is spectacular. Right on the river. The home is lovely and well equipped. Nothing is cheap or shabby. It truly was a home away from home. We will plan to come back again.

We stayed here when our daughter was getting married at a nearby venue. It was perfect. We were able to relax and feel pampered amid all of the wedding activities. The hot tub was wonderful, as was sitting on the deck by the fire table. Every detail was taken care of and the host was so responsive to questions. I wish we could have stayed longer -- the Cozy Cottage is a little piece of heaven.

This property is beautiful inside and out. You can tell the owners take great pride in making sure all who stay here are happy and comfortable. The beds are super comfy, and so is the furniture. We spent time outside enjoying the peaceful river view and were so glad that even the outdoor furniture was comfy. The yard is quite big and the landscaping is beautiful. There were so many amenities in all rooms - everything and more that you could want in the kitchen; bathrooms also fully stocked with toiletries and bedrooms had lots of blanket and pillow options. The host was super attentive and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be my first choice next time I'm in Puyallup.

Each and every single detail has been paid attention to by the hosts of this extraordinary property. From the very second you walk in the door you are awe struck by this gorgeous, spotlessly clean, well cared for property.
The river views out the back windows are absolutely stunning and can be enjoyed from a variety of carefully placed outdoor furniture or the absolutely incredible hot tub area. The hot tub itself was the true icing on the cake and we enjoyed it day and night.
The bedrooms are well appointed and the bedding, mattress, right down to the pillows were absolute perfection. We got the best nights sleep ever!
The kitchen is well stocked with every single amenity you could ask for in addition to fabulous coffee beans and a variety of ways to prepare it. If you love coffee this location is a coffee lovers dream. There’s even a full on espresso maker! For the outdoor fire table at night they provide you with a s’mores package as well, which we absolutely had to partake in every night.
The laundry and gym area were also a nice to have as we were able to clean clothes and get a workout in which is rare for many locations.
The hosts that care for this property are top notch and attentive to any and all questions that we had and truly went out of their way to make our experience incredible. You can tell that they take great pride in this property from top to bottom.
We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if fate brings us to the area once more.

This place deserves bonus stars, 5++! The house was amazing. We fell in love with it right away. I could sit and watch the river flow all day. So peaceful. This wonderful home had so many thoughtful amenities; so many comfy spots with lots of pillows and warm blankies. It really made our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. I would love to stay here again.

We have stayed at many wonderful places through the years but this one, by far had the nicest touches. First, it was way more spacious than we thought. The layout is perfect and so nice for a family. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nicely appointed. We were greeted with the nicest treats and amenities. It was a perfect way to begin. I can’t rave enough about this home! From booking to check-out, it was amazing and we will be back!

The Cozy Cottage is THE BEST home I have ever stayed in. I travel a lot for business and have stayed in many places, but this home is top notch!! Lisa has made this house into a welcoming home that is just wonderful. She did not forget a single thing that someone would need while staying there. Wine and fresh pasties displayed beautifully on the counter for our arrival and the fresh flowers in every room made me happy and smile. Popcorn, smores, snacks, multiple coffee makers and the list goes on. The bathrooms have every essential that you could possibly need. The beds and pillows are amazing and I slept soooo good! I usually find myself wiping things down, vacuuming and moping when I first arrive at a rental, but not at the Cozy Cottage, the home is immaculate and so clean. I plan on going back in a couple of months for business and I'm staying at Lisa's, because nothing else can hold a candle to her home.

We returned home from our stay yesterday. I already have a list of things I want for my house that I found at the Cozy Cottage.
We were in Puyallup to visit my son and his family. My grandkids LOVED the Cozy Cottage and asked if we were going to live there. I told them no but when we come back to visit, we'll be staying here.
To start, amazing communication with the hosts. After we checked in they contacted us to make sure we were good and to see if we had questions. At the Cottage, they have the book of everything: how to work the remotes (that were LABELED, thank God), the heating - we come from a central air area so it was great to have that info handy, how to work the fire pit...everything was covered.
First impression: neat and clean. The inside smells wonderful: calming, soothing. They aren't kidding when they say Cozy - lots of pillows and blankets. A basket of socks near the front door (LOVED the no shoes policy). Comfy robes, the towels were soft, the beds are very comfortable, and the sheets are soft. There were alarm clocks and sound machines, there were sprays for the pillows to aid in restful sleep. Thoughtful touches everywhere.
Board games, eco friendly laundry detergent, and a well equipped kitchen with sharp knives.
The bathrooms had lots of towels, a hamper, specific wash cloths for make-up removal, wipes, and a period station.
It was like being embraced in a warm and soothing hug. That's the best way I can describe our stay.

What an amazing property and such amazing hosts. Many thoughtful extras (gym set up, coffee and creamer choices, very nice lines and very clean property). Really enjoyed the patio and sitting around fire while enjoying the river! Great communication by the hosts. I highly recommend this home and I would stay again!

Every element of our stay at the Cozy Cottage on the River was absolutely beautiful. Comfortable beds and pillows, relaxing colors, lavish textiles throughout, the kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need to cook real meals. Don't miss the farmer's markets at Pioneer Park. And the Riverwalk Trail is close and great for a long walk. The neighborhood is quiet and feels friendly (very nice long-time neighbor that tipped us off as we were leaving about a two-hour backup on the freeway..thanks so much!). We spent most of our five days on the back porch watching the river and birds, and enjoying the glorious yard and gardens. That hammock...! The crowning jewel of this property is for sure it's owners. The amount of love and care they put into every little detail shows, and is felt. Lisa's communication was excellent and so appreciated. We can't wait to come back.

Our stay at the river cottage was just perfect. I personally felt like the pictures did not do the property justice. The river was just breathtaking. The beds were beyond comfortable. I have never slept on softer sheets- So much to the point where I was disappointed to come back to my own bed. Lisa was a great host and made sure to check in on us.

Perfection++, tranquility, and more ...
So perfect, it's hard to properly emphasize just how much! So many little touches (100's) ... awesome communication with host, Lisa. Very tranquil and calm, and just wish we could stay for a few more weeks. Very convenient to everything. We would rate 5++ stars if possible. When back in Seattle, we will definitely book this home, hopefully for a few weeks next time. Reserve this home, and you will not regret your choice. As I said: Perfect++

Knows how to do a VRBO. Wish others would learn from these owners.
I usually don’t give a review, but Lisa knows how to do a VRBO. She had an an abundance of everything. Towels/soaps/full kitchen, making sure your stay was a vacation. No stripping of beds/a sign welcoming our party. Just a gem in communication on what to do around the area and the town is so cute with great eating establishments. Thanks Lisa and crew for making it so comfortable.

Perfect Location
We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage on the river. The location was in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to downtown Puyallup. Lisa was an excellent host and made sure we had everything to make our stay comfortable. The fresh tulips and croissants where a nice touch when we checked in. The home had everything we needed. We enjoyed the back porch with the fire table and propane bbq watching the river and birds.
10.0 / 10.0
Quite Cozy
This cottage was just as cozy and welcoming as advertised. My partner and I stayed here for a week, and it was a beautiful and relaxing experience. The view of the river is amazing and the time I spent outside watching the river rush by, ducks learning to swim, and the ever-elusive hummingbirds search for food was some of the best of my vacation.
I'm unable to walk up more than a few steps, so for me the cottage was quite accessible, with just one small step in and out of the various doors. If you use a wheelchair, the main parts of the house are very wide open, but down the hall/in the bedrooms it might be a little bit of a tight squeeze.
Finally, the hosts seem to have thought of everything you might need! The beds had the most amazing and comfy pillows you can imagine, but my partner usually needs a firmer memory foam pillow, and he found some available in the closet! When we had a small problem with the thermostat, the host responded right away and it was taken care of. She even moved the time that the landscapers were coming so we would be able to rest when we first arrived at the cottage.
I absolutely recommend this property to anybody looking for a beautiful and relaxing stay with wonderful and helpful hosts.
