About this property

Cozy Riverfront Cottage | Salt Hot Tub & Firepit

Welcome to our charming riverside retreat in the heart of historic downtown Puyallup. The Cozy Cottage is a modern cabin vibe that is warm and inviting which makes you feel right at home. Whether you're seeking casual luxury or just a place to relax and unwind, this is the perfect spot for you.

Our fully stocked kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with all the essentials and even a gas stove for cooking up delicious meals. Wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and enjoy a light breakfast with provided oatmeal, nuts and brown sugar.

The cozy office space is perfect for catching up on work or checking emails with high-speed internet.

Relax and restore in our newly installed top-of-the-line salt water hot tub (comfortably seats 4) and watch the river stream by while nature envelopes you. Snuggle up next to the warm fire and watch movies on the 55" inch TV with a fantastic soundbar.

Need to stay active? Hit the home gym and break a sweat with the elliptical, weights, and more.

Rest easy in luxurious towels and Turkish robes, and sink into the comfy king/queen beds with premium linens and plenty of pillow options.

Step outside to enjoy the breathtaking river views from two covered patios, or cozy up by the outdoor fireplace with a s'mores kit and cocktail station. Experience the undercurrent of small town Americana with excellent local restaurants, events at the Fairgrounds, or a leisurely stroll through the Farmer's Markets.

Come and explore all that Puyallup has to offer and let the Cozy Cottage on the River be your home away from home. Relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories in this cozy haven by the water.

Absolutely Wonderful! Highly Recommend Staying Here

We stayed here when our daughter was getting married at a nearby venue. It was perfect. We were able to relax and feel pampered amid all of the wedding activities. The hot tub was wonderful, as was sitting on the deck by the fire table. Every detail was taken care of and the host was so responsive to questions. I wish we could have stayed longer -- the Cozy Cottage is a little piece of heaven.

Recent stay at Cozy Cottage

The cottage was beautiful inside and out. The host thought of every detail. The river view was amazing! We fished and enjoyed the outdoors in the spacious outdoor living area. We visited the Puyallup Farmers Market and Washington State fair. What a wonderful area to explore on the last weekend of summer.

Perfect Location

We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage on the river. The location was in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to downtown Puyallup. Lisa was an excellent host and made sure we had everything to make our stay comfortable. The fresh tulips and croissants where a nice touch when we checked in. The home had everything we needed. We enjoyed the back porch with the fire table and propane bbq watching the river and birds.

Perfect Cottage!

We have stayed at many wonderful places through the years but this one, by far had the nicest touches. First, it was way more spacious than we thought. The layout is perfect and so nice for a family. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nicely appointed. We were greeted with the nicest treats and amenities. It was a perfect way to begin. I can’t rave enough about this home! From booking to check-out, it was amazing and we will be back!

Hi, we are Lisa and Shane
I (Lisa) moved up to the Pacific Northwest in 2007 from CA and have enjoyed living here in the South Puget Sound area. Love the fast-paced, jam-packed summers and the more relaxed other seasons with my husband, 3 kiddos. We are in real estate and my passion is transforming homes and bringing back their former glory, being outside enjoying the most beautiful place to live. Shane moved here in 1995 and has loved calling it home. Check out www.cozycottageontheriver.com and www.labellanido.com

Why they chose this property

Better than a hotel! So many reasons why this property is the one to choose. If you like being close to the action but feeling like you're in a secluded area/cabin. If you like beautiful view of nature with flowing river in your backyard along with outdoor fireplace. If you like quality and casual luxury in the comfort of the furniture, linens, towels and beautiful yet rustic decor. If you like uber comfortable bedding, rain showers in your bathtub, soaking tub with jets. If you like fishing, walking/running along a river or visiting many sightseeing hotspots along with great independent restaurants. If you like being able to work out while you're away, or working remotely with high speed internet and a desk.... If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the "why this property."

What makes this property unique

This is a single story home that has been remodeled but highlights comfort and home and in decor you don't find in many short term rentals. We have 2.5 bathrooms and one is a walk in shower. There is only one step! We have fishing gear, an elliptical and games along with outdoor dining area for those summer months!
