Top Fort Nisqually Living History Museum Hotel Reviews

Luxury 3 Bed/3 Bath NEW Home in Ruston

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, excellent description, nice area"

Stay near Point Defiance Park in our charming 1-bedroom cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely delightful! Highly recommend, and would be thrilled if it was available next time we’re in Tacoma! The listing is accurate, water pressure is great, very clean, thoughtful touches, great location, and the host is easy to communicate with before, during, and after the day."

Cute as Hell! 2-bedroom building in adorable North Tacoma with cool AC comfort!

10/10 Excellent

"As cute as advertised, and a terrific host!"

Walk to the waterfront - Charmwood House in Tacoma

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful house! Thank you for accommodating such a last minute booking situation!"

Walk to the waterfront! The Cozy Cottag

8/10 Good

"The cottage was nice but the description is misleading. You share the building with another unit and the waterfront is more than a 20 minute walk. Otherwise it was a wonderful little place to stay!"

Bodur's Nest Whispering Garden

10/10 Excellent

"I would give our host 10 stars for communication if I could. He replied promptly to my questions and was very helpful. The house was immaculately clean and very comfortable. The neighbor is quiet and close to the Sound. I enjoyed just relaxing there and would definitely stay again."

The Blue Ruby - nestled in Point Defiance

10/10 Excellent

"Best kitchen we’ve ever had and we’ve stayed in some bougie houses"

Ruston Retreat: Sauna, ice bath, Modern 4B 4BA & Stunning Water View

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice house and great location. Was clean with comfortable beds. Highly recommend."

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."
