Cozy Cottage - 2nd visit
We found this Ruston cottage to be clean, inviting and stocked with everything a person (or their dog) could need, again! This was our 2nd time renting this cute little house and last time was our very 1st vacation rental by owner, of any sort. We've rented several in the past year and I can now say, with some authority, this one is top notch!! Easy and accommodating communication with Nora. She takes her business seriously, you can tell and it shows. The house both times has been clean, clean, sparkling clean. The backyard has been wonderf for our pooch and our friends slept again on the sofa bed. Worked out great for all of us attending the Daffodil Festival!

Perfection
My daughter lives in Tacoma with her husband, two littles and a dog, so there isn't much room left at their house. I found this on VRBO and it was absolute perfection. It is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood and has a large back yard. Nora is so thoughtful; this place has everything that you could need; small jars of q-tips, cotton balls, tea, hot chocolate, etc., etc. It is immaculately clean and beautifully set up. I have found a home away from home and will not look for anywhere else to stay when I am in Tacoma.

Great spot— extra love for our dog.
It was perfect. My parents live in Ruston, and we needed a spot to stay with our dog. Excellent accommodations, great fenced in backyard, and amazing attention given for every need for people and dog.

Nice quiet spot perfect for a single or couple
Nice clean and comfy spot near point defiance park in Tacoma or not far from University of Puget Sound Nice living room kitchen bedroom and bath set up. Was perfect for me traveling alone or would be great for two people sharing the bedroom. The kitchen was modern, the laundry room was nice to have although I didn’t use it. Very nice spot in Tacoma I’ll definitely book it again next time work takes me to Tacoma.
