Historic. Very comfortable beds, incredible view. Very clean. My cousins visited from Mora, Sweden and thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. They loved the neighborhood and the friendly faces they met during their stay. Thank you Browns Point

I booked over a year in advance to return to the Keepers Cottage. My nieces asked me if we could go again. I love old things so this place is right up my alley. The first thing I do is open all the windows and let the salt air breeze through and flap the lace curtains.

Unique experience. Incredible location at the lighthouse park. Comfortable historic cottage. Great hosts. Of course, there are people visiting the park, but that's part of the charm. Loved staying here.

First things first. This is an absolute gem!! We arrived just as the sun was going down and the ensueing golden hour was our first glimpse at the cottage. The gardens! We literally gasped in delight. On the inside, it is obvious that this cottage was lovingly maintained and restored with care. The beds were soft, we slept deeply and were awakened by the honk of geese overhead. That afternoon, there was a small party enjoying the shade of the willow tree out front and having a baby shower

We are four friends of a certain age. This is the third lighthouse where we have stayed. The location was perfect. We enjoyed walking on the beach, cooking meals, reading, and relaxing. The house had everything we needed.

This lighthouse cottage is a treasure. It has period furniture, pictures with historical information, so many books on related topics from boats, lighthouses, and how life was experienced in this lighthouse. Watching ships coming and going from the Port of Tacoma, wonderful sunsets. Could not ask for a better experience.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the magic of this historical cottage, the surrounding marine life, and awe-inspiring views. I highly recommend going back in time for a few days to savor a more gentle world.

We enjoy staying here with family and spending time on the beach. Making meals and playing games. Only 1 bathroom can be challenging with a family, but love the location.
