A friend and I stayed here for a long weekend. The property was exquisitely renovated and maintained, well located only a short walk from Port Defiance park, and exactly what we needed. Parking was conveniently located right next to the cottage. The location was quiet. The owner was responsive to the few minor questions we had while also respecting our privacy. I would definitely consider staying here again!

An amazing house. As soon as you open the door it brings you into the 1940's era, yet all the furniture and amenities are comfortable and modern. The house was located in a nice and quiet neighberhood as well, just 1 minute walk away from a great breakfast spot. Overall, an A+ experience...

This is an amazing property!! Wish we had more time just to stay and lounge, the interior is that fabulous! If you love the 1940 time period, this is your place. The decor is so cute, location is amazing and owners very nice and friendly. We will definitely stay here again!

You do have to really appreciate the theme of the 40s. Its an incredible replica of the time yet an extremely comfortable, clean and well thought out cottage. All the details and antiques of the time period.

What a wonderful little house! So clean and well kept. It felt like staying at my grandmothers house. It was a surprise house for our soon to be daughter in law and our son who is in the army. We all had a great stay. We will be back! Thank you!

This place is a GEM. Mom lives at Franke Tobey Jones, and this place was ideal for proximity. The house itself is simply charming! I've never stayed at a place that was even better than the pictures. The hosts are warm, friendly, and available. The building on the street side of N. Pearl is great: features a gluten-free bakery (with yummy items), with cozy spots for relaxing out of the house. There is a great bar just down the alley, and a really nice Italian restaurant as well. The Guest Book is a great resource. Check out is a cinch. Two tiny wishes: more coasters and a way to buy the cookbook that the hosts published. (Oh, and maybe an upgrade to the TP.) This property is better suited to adults and older children, I think. This will be our Go To spot in Tacoma!

This cottage is a beautiful period piece in a fantastic location and was exceptionally clean and neat. Booking it again for sure!

Well stocked and such fun decorating! The location behind a building in an alley was a little odd, but it was quiet and so close to all the things we wanted to do for fun family weekend. Thank you!

We loved the location of this house, walking distance to the zoo and Ruston Boardwalk! Also we were able to bike to Point Defiance from the house. The house is well stocked and very clean! Beds were super comfortable! We all slept well, including our little girls. What more could a parent want on vacation!
