My sons and I stayed in Barbara's beautifully designed cottage over Memorial Day weekend for PLU's graduation ceremony.
The kitchen has great appliances, the beds are good, and the bathrooms are spacious. (The primary bathroom feels as large as the bedroom.) There are plenty of cabinets and counterspace. Light streams in from every direction. We also appreciated the laundry room. Barbara's warm welcome and the gorgeous views were the icing on our stay. We enjoyed sitting on the porch observing the birds and gorgeous flowers around the pond. (We could hear some traffic noise from the nearby road, but it wasn't obtrusive.)
There are plenty of chairs, inside and out, but no couch to sit on, since there is no living or family room. The kitchen-dining area is the main part of the guest cottage. That wasn't an issue for us, but may affect some visitors.
We recommend the Tacoma Cottage--especially if you want a beautiful kitchen for cooking or eating in, or enjoy relaxing on a porch which has great views.
This property is amazing: spacious layout, calm, surrounded by nature and wild life, gated and safe, clean, and friendly hostess. After spending 3 nights here we feel well rested. Simply beautiful!

This is a lovely cottage located in a serene place with beautiful wildlife and your own pond. It has open space, chic, comfortable, and with all the amenities you wish for (heated floor, ergonomic bed, open kitchen). We feel rested after 3 nights here. The hostess is super nice and helpful. You just want to retire here.
We enjoyed delightful views of small bodies of water from every window, and an expansive, well-appointed, well-stocked kitchen. Even though our stay was in the depths of winter, the house is so well situated and the grounds so nicely designed, that it was a pleasure beyond expectations. Barbara was even kind enough to allow us to reschedule to a later time after our Christmas Eve Eve flight was cancelled due to a deep freeze. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure staying at the Tacoma Cottage. Our host Barbara was fantastic and very accommodating. Her hospitality was great and I look forward to coming back. The cottage was very clean, contemporary, and in a great location.
We will be planning on staying here again in the future.
