Nestled in the suburbs of Puyallup, this cozy retreat is perfect for up to ten adults and two dogs. Conveniently located a short drive from the Washington State Fair, our stylish suite is built for groups who want to be together. Start a tournament for pool, darts, arcade games, and more. Outside, 3/4 of an acre gives everyone room to spread out—frisbee, soccer, or basketball on the dedicated court. Bring your dogs to run in the fully fenced yard. This is a place to hang out and create memories.
Step into this newly remodeled, spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit where fun meets ample storage. Experience the seamless blend of entertainment and relaxation. Located in Puyallup’s South Hill neighborhood, The Brownie offers the perfect balance between city life and mountain escapes. Within a short drive, you can explore Mount Rainier National Park, Crystal Mountain Resort, JBLM, and the Washington State Fair. For those craving culinary adventures, the local food scene in downtown Puyallup awaits. Enjoy the seasonal farmers' markets, offering lush produce, fresh flowers, and unique local goods.
Inside, you'll be greeted by a vintage bar, a relaxing living area, and amenities designed to help you unwind. The space is also dog-friendly, ensuring a comfortable stay for your furry friends. The upstairs kitchen is perfect for morning coffee, and two included desk workspaces support productivity. The well-appointed bedrooms, complete with blackout shades, guarantee a perfect night’s sleep.
The real gem of The Brownie is its central location, just five minutes from the main thoroughfare, offering every type of shop and experience you could want. This private oasis on 3/4 of an acre allows you to forget that you’re in the midst of everything. Enjoy the park-like setting with provided sports equipment, including frisbee, soccer ball, and football. Play your own tournament at our dedicated basketball court! And if the weather gets unpredictable, you'll never be bored. The indoor amenities invite you to indulge in nostalgia and relive the joy of your favorite arcade games.

We store our RV on the property. During the summer, there may be occasions when you'll see us hooking up or returning from a trip. We will always give you advance notice before coming onto the property. Please park only in the designated areas so we can easily access the RV when needed.
