The cabin was as expected. Clean, the beds were comfortable. I was surprised the kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and dishes. We enjoyed the fire ring (even though it rained). It was pretty quiet, and was exactly what we wanted. Ann was very nice and attentive. We plan to rent again.

Thank you so very much. I sure enjoyed your kindness, as this summer had some challenges and one guest who has plummeted my rating matrix after they had been abusive, misleading and cridically condicending in their review. I wish everyone could be like you. The majority of our guests are great and I feel blessed! Thank you so very much. Ann

Thank you for choosing our property and I look forward to serving you again. Summer is special at our Tacoma Beach Cottage. Fishing is great too. It was nice to meet the ice fishing men in your group and to see the impressive ice transport machine for the trek onto the ice! Serious fun seekers! I love it.

Great location on the water!

We loved the location of the house and the fire pit/dock/views. The house is sufficient but small, with a lot of furniture/decorations that make it feel cluttered. Overall a great stay and experience!

Thank you for making me aware of your opinion. Sometimes it is difficult to keep up with guests needs for more seating options than others. Just before your stay we had damage to our wooden chairs with cane seats. In order to make a quick replacement, my options were limited. I thought comfortable upholstered chairs worked. I will look into smaller chairs or removing two of the six dinner table chairs. I did my best in case you expanded the table. I apologize for your displeasure. I hope our cleanliness and the upscale comfort of our towels and bedding impressed you equally. I am grateful you had joy in your stay and overall satisfaction. Thank you.
