Perfect for our family.
Very nice place and perfect for our family get together. Had everything we needed and even the perfect toys for our little ones that came to visit for a night. Located close by for all our wants and needs, and only a 5 minute drive to my grandson’s house.

Quaint, well-loved home in a beautiful location....
This home is fun, quirky, well-loved, and magical. The garden is like an old English garden - beautiful and comforting! The home has the feel of years of well-loved moments and created memories. It is minutes from anything that you may need from groceries, to fast food places, to the marine biology center with an aquarium. And it's not too far from Seattle.

Adorable home
The house worked out well, the yard was beautiful and beds were good. The bathroom situation is odd but we were family so worked it out. We will use this house again if needed.

Great Grandma’s House
This is a beautiful, small home in a beautiful neighborhood that felt like visiting great grandma’s house. It’s full of antiques, quaint wallpaper, toys for our little girls, and even a grand piano. We loved the location of this home and the grandkids enjoyed picking fruit from the various fruit trees in the amazing yard. The only drawback was the arrangement of bathrooms. It was a bit tight for 6 adults and 4 kids but it satisfied our needs. Lovely kitchen!

Amazing!
The grounds are beautiful. The grandkids ages 1-11 played in the yard and trees. It was like the secret Garden. It was close proximity to all the things we wanted to do. Communication with the owner was superb. Would stay again if the opportunity arose. Thank you.

Old house filled with happy memories
We needed a place to hide out while repairs were completed on our home. Staying in this historic home felt like staying with a relative. The hosts were easily some of the nicest people we have met and were willing to share their knowledge of the house as it was where they grew up. Make no mistake this is a 100-year-plus home and a bit quirky but that said it is also full of happy memories. We enjoyed staying here.

Great house and location
We were very pleased with this stay. There were 6 adults, and we used 4 of the 5 bedrooms. The house is super charming, filled with antique/old furniture and pieces. The decorating was spot on. And the icing on the cake was the yard. This house occupies and very large lot, and it is very nicely landscaped. Even though the weather was cold and overcast for most of our stay, we still appreciated the beauty of the yard. It helps that the kitchen is so airy with all those windows. And even though there is a street and a row of houses between this house and Puget Sound, the houses are down on an embankment. So, we had an unobstructed view of the water. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy get away.
Great communication with owner especially with the boiler repair. The local host was very kind and apologetic for interrupting our stay with plumbers. This location fit our needs for a team retreat. Very clean and cozy. I thought our bed was great. Well equipped kitchen.
