Amazing Setting
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the magic of this historical cottage, the surrounding marine life, and awe-inspiring views. I highly recommend going back in time for a few days to savor a more gentle world.

A wonderfully unique experience
This lighthouse cottage is a treasure. It has period furniture, pictures with historical information, so many books on related topics from boats, lighthouses, and how life was experienced in this lighthouse. Watching ships coming and going from the Port of Tacoma, wonderful sunsets. Could not ask for a better experience.

Beautiful Property & Park
We enjoy staying here with family and spending time on the beach. Making meals and playing games. Only 1 bathroom can be challenging with a family, but love the location.

Beautiful and peaceful
We arrived and everything was clean and ready for us. The cottage was the perfect size for 6 of us. The kitchen was well stocked for our basic needs and we were able to purchase milk and other necessities. The host made sure to check in with us throughout the trip to make sure everything was going well and we had everything we needed. The beach was perfect for mornings and evenings of beach combing, watching the fishermen and the boats, or having a picnic. We can't wait to stay here again in the future! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Beautiful Sunsets!
My wife and I spent 4 nights in the cottage. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we had stunning sunsets every night! The Olympic mountains were painted with orange-red from the setting sun. In the early mornings, we saw seals and dolphins out in the water. While we enjoyed it, there were lots of people using the park and some stayed well beyond closing, which was a bit creepy.

WOW! So beautiful - a Rare Find
We absolutely loved our stay at the beautiful lighthouse cottage. The house and grounds are stunning and in excellent condition. We loved the views and watching the sunset at night. Easy parking, very clean, good beds, and good communication with staff. We enjoyed beach walks and watching the tugboats and fisherman. Serene and safe. It was an honor to be able to stay there.
