Romantic Private & Detatched Guest Home behind the gates of a Chateau on the Sea

Romantic Private & Detatched Guest Home behind the gates of a Chateau on the Sea

10/10 Excellent
"For us this was a near perfect place to stay in the Seattle area. Whilst the chateau or guesthouse has no water views from inside it does offer several patio areas to sit and one does give you truly a million dollar view. The interior is comfortable, clean and well supplied. The hosts were very friendly and extremely communicative. Gig Harbor proper is literally just around the corner and hosts shopping and eateries abound. Do not miss an early visit to Sussane’s bakery. Being outdoor enthusiasts we were able to spot eagles every day were we there as well one viewing of a pod of orcas (we were notified by our host they might show that morning)."

Walk to the waterfront The Cozy Cottage

Walk to the waterfront The Cozy Cottage

8/10 Good
"The cozy cottage is the perfect place to stay for 1-2 people when visiting the Ruston area in Tacoma. There’s a small convenience store a couple blocks away with coffee, beers, etc. Wifi on site was fast and easy to connect to (once we did a little troubleshooting). Towels and basic toiletries are provided as well as dishes, a Brita water filter, and Keurig coffee maker. The bed is comfy, but the bedroom does get warm in the summer. There’s a large fan in the bedroom to keep cool. Overall, I would recommend this place of looking for a place to stay in Ruston / Tacoma."

"Communication, was great. Location great and with a view. Everything was clean and decor nice. The only slight complaint was that the Internet was not working, I was only there for an overnight stay so was not a big issue. Otherwise I would stay there again! Thank you"
