"Outstanding place to stay very clean very quiet and all the amenities that we needed. Would definitely stay here again."

Dog-Friendly 2-Bedroom MIL on Cushman Trail in Gig Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful daylight basement with private patio in a pretty wooded area. No view of the water, and a bit of street noise outside, but quiet inside except for the putter-patter of little feet from upstairs sometimes. The resident small dog and cat were friendly and happy to welcome us. Shopping was just minutes away. Watch for deer if you drive the area at dusk/dark! At the corner where you turn into the neighborhood, there are tons of wild blackberries."
