There was not one thing you would want. Plenty of closet space, beautiful furnishings, walkable to Gig Harbor, and ultra comfortable. Normally we stay at VRBO to reach a location. This is the location. A 5 minute walk to the back yard, and sound views, takes 20 minutes because the gardens are so beautiful. The view is the best in Gig Harbor. End your day with a glass of wine and sitting in the lawn chairs. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/45a8e3d4-4051-4204-ac7c-16b8859393f5-1753026678253.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patrick R.

The warm message and bottle of wine to greet us, the charming decor, the beautifully appointed rooms and the exquisite gardens made it a perfect 10 VRBO experience. Shannon and Lorne have graciously opened part of their lovely home and gardens and we are thankful for that! ##### Mark J. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Drew A.

This was one of the prettiest VRBOs we have ever stayed in. The guest house, which is located by the main house, is clean, cute, and comfortable. The owners also have an area that you can access in the backyard that has a great view of Seattle, Mount Rainier, and the water. We ate breakfast out there every morning and saw a lot of marine life. Speaking of the owners, they are both incredibly nice and gave us a lot of great information about the surrounding area and cool spots to check out. Overall, we had an amazing time staying here and hope to come back in the future. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bfbc7834-3d2b-4346-b854-8ffe6e7079b7-1750796976442.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/84e38c5c-96b2-4802-9349-3e8a753a3eba-1750796983062.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Drew A.
