About this house rental
Welcome! Our beautifully remodeled cottage is located on the property where we live, situated in an area first developed by the timber barons of the Northwest. Conveniently located just a mile and half off of Interstate 5, but worlds apart! Close proximity to JBLM, Thornewood Castle, Pacific Lutheran University, Chambers Bay, The Tacoma Country Club, American Lake, Gravelly Lake and Lake Steilacoom. The property is very private and secluded, but is just a mile and a half to Safeway, Starbucks and local restaurants...perfect midway point for travelers wanting to enjoy Seattle and Mt. Rainier...cottage and grounds have been featured in movie scenes, catalogs and commercials...
The cottage is a stand alone building located next door to our main home, but is its own private oasis...safely tucked back behind a gate, with plenty of safe off street security lit parking for our guests. Perfect for single travelers with safety concerns...
The cottage features a Queen sized bed upstairs and a beautiful Restoration Hardware Queen size hide a bed downstairs. Coupled with the memory foam topper provided, it’s pure comfort...the newly remodeled bathroom - with shower, is located upstairs but, can be accessed without seeing the guests in the upstairs bed...there are two smart t.v.’s - one up and one down...
The cottage features a newly remodeled and fully stocked kitchen and your own private patio.
We allow 3 guests for our nightly rate, but can accommodate a fourth guest for an additional $40. per night.

Having stayed at many hotels in the south sound area this was a most welcoming change. A quiet oasis close to everything and everyone needed for our stay. Thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, which totally exceeded our expectations. The cottage is adjacent to the home of the property owners, but you have 100% total privacy. The setting is tranquil, and the grounds are beautifully manicured. We would return in a heartbeat!

The cottage is a little peace of heaven. We hated to leave. Dave and Jen have done a wonderful job of it and the landscaping. Would highly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
We only had time to arrive, peek at the amenities and go to bed. We were impressed. We would have liked to have stayed longer. It is a very welcoming, restful setting. A great place to relax with a friend and recharge with a little quiet one on one, in my opinion. I gave them five stars across the board, because we simply loved the setting. It was a wonderful experience with just one note of caution. If you don't like the fragrance of fabric softener/laundry detergent, bring your own set of sheets. If you're chemically sensitive, you'll likely have an unpleasant sleeping experience. Although, my wife and I found the fragrance annoying, and it did affect our sleep, we didn't deduct points in our review, because these products are commonly used everywhere bedding is maintained for the public. Even so, we would like to return another time and hope that perhaps there will be a fragrance-free option, and if not, we will bring our own sheets.

This cottage is immaculate. It truly feels magical. It’s quiet, surrounded by greenery, and peaceful sounds of the fountain. There are many small touches that the owners have put in that made our stay extra special. I’d recommend to anyone.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I would have to say this cottage was one of the most beautiful Vrbo’s I’ve stayed in. Everything was as described in the listing and then some! I couldn’t recommend this place more.

We had a quick overnight stay, but the Cottage was lovely! The property was beautiful and relaxing. The Cottage was clean and charming with all the amenities we needed. The small touches went a long way. Communication with the host was clear and easy. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, but for more than a night to fully enjoy the Cottage and property, including grilling on the back patio!

The cottage is clean and well stocked but let me rave about the garden. Incredible doesn’t cover it. I fell in love with the fountain and the ferns. I hope to book this location every time I visit. The owner a are incredibly nice and as a solo female traveler I felt safe. I slept so hard in the soft, fluffy bed.

Wonderful stay in a very private setting. Full 2-floor home apartment set in a garden atmosphere in quiet Lakewood neighborhood. All amenities thoughtfully provided by hosts. Felt very welcomed to their home setting. Will stay again next time in town.

We loved our stay at this property! Incredibly clean, beautiful neighborhood, tastefully decorated, and comfy enough to feel homey. My son said it felt like being dropped into a fairy tale, the property is that spectacular. I honestly never wanted to leave, and we will FOR SURE be back. One of my favorite vacation rentals ever.

What a wonderful, quiet retreat with access to big city life! This cottage is very clean and tastefully furnished and decorated. Owners take the time to personalize your visit and provide helpful instructions and snacks. Wished we could have stayed longer.

The property was so peaceful and quiet! Perfect for the alone time I needed. The owners were very communicative before hand so I knew what to expect. I can’t wait to go back and hope I get more time than just one night. So grateful for this experience!

Seattle preview
I would like to.thank Jen & Dave for a great experience at there great little hideway. You would think that your out in the forest, & the quiet was so soothing. But within 3 minutes you have a shopping center with restaurants, theater & general purpose stores. I think this place is a.great location to explore the local area & the train station is only 10 minutes so you can avoid the traffic to Seattle. Once again thank you for your hospitality! Will definitely come back!👌🏿🏌♂️😎

Wedding Night Stopover
We rented the cottage for my daughter and her new husband (a soldier at JBLM) so they had a nice place to stay on their wedding night. It was close enough that they didn't have a long drive after the wedding. Communication with Jennifer was great. She was so kind as to give them a late check-out as they were arriving late after the wedding reception.
The kids said it would be a great place for Grandma to stay next time she's in town for a visit.
Would recommend & would rent again.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
Such an amazing hideaway. Even more beautiful and well-appointed than the fabulous photos suggest. So peaceful. Like staying somewhere in Europe. Huge value for money compared to other places I have stayed in the area. Way more classy. Close to all I needed and some beautiful places to visit. Jenifer and Dave are really lovely people. Really warm. This is definitely now my go-to place whenever I am in the area.

Elegant and tranquil
This lovely cottage and the surrounding grounds are so nice it almost seemed to good to be true. Everything was wonderful. I did find the bed squeaky and the pillows too firm for my preference.

Transported to France at this petite chateau
This cottage, the grounds and the property managers were all exceptional! We felt as if we were actually in France with the maniured gardens and hedges, fabric awnings, fountain and art and decor in the house itself. The owners were wonderful - so welcoming and with attention to every detail - it was treat to learn about the history of this quaint estate.
