Lighthouse Property on Puget Sound 'One of Finest in U.S.'

The location at Browns Point on the Pudget Sound provides fantistac views, especially sunsets. The accommodations at the house include a full kitchen and three comfortable bedrooms. It was like stepping back into the early 19th century but with all the 20th century’s conviencies. There are nice restaurants close by and Tacoma is 15 minutes away with many good restaurants too. I will stay here again when visiting the Seattle Tacoma area.

The cottage is lovingly maintained by a group of volunteers. Our check in process was also an educational tour. There was a dedicated group of women tending the gorgeous flowers blooming all around the property. The views cannot be surpassed anywhere. In one sense it feels like you are staying in a museum exhibit and yet it is quite workable and comfortable. We sat on the front porch one night eating dinner and watching the spectacular sunset. One little drawback - a new gate has been installed in the parking lot just outside the cottage and it closes after dark. Some one's car was stuck in the lot and they knocked on our door after we'd gone to bed asking us to let them out. The cottage has a key for that. We would highly recommend staying here.

We are returning members who love the cottage and all it contains. It has a vintage feel with a fairly modern kitchen to enable people to enjoy the stayover experience. The area has much to offer and Tacoma is a great city --- check out the great used book store on 26th!

The only downside was the construction (which will be completed by August 2018) and one bathroom. The stunning views and sunsets made it an idyllic setting!

This property is one of the most wonderful that we have ever stayed in - and we stay in at least 1-2 per year in various locations around the United States. The location on Puget sound is absolutely beautiful - sunsets are amazing and access to the water is so easy. The grounds are beautifully maintained. The furnishings in the house are so interesting and we loved going down to the museum in the basement to learn more about the history of the area and the lighthouse. All of the beds are comfortable. We had some difficulty with having only one bathroom for the six of us (myself, my husband and our four grandchildren ages 9-15) but we worked it out and everything else made up for it. There was construction going on at the time which made it a little difficult to park but once that is complete, everything will be perfect! There were plenty of supplies and our contact person, Nancy, was so attentive - she even helped us to make the beds when we arrived! I would recommend this cottage to anyone!
