MANAGED BY NINA DREYER Guest Review: "The Bee Keeper s Cottage is simply ADORABLE, located in a beautiful backyard with private access. Has all the amenities one would need; also very comfortable for two people. Not too far to shopping center. Judy D." $35 Cleaning Fee $250 Refundable Deposit The Beekeeper s Cottage is a short term/vacation rental. Located beside the main home the beekeeper s cottage has friendly, happy bees to right of driveway that provide fresh honey. We have 2 sweet white small ducks that enjoy the back-yard pond/water-fall area. We also have a 12-year old black manx kitty names Gideon, and a small indoor dog named Daisy plus a sweet bunny named Newman. In summer we have a beautiful garden and a wonderful back-yard and relaxing hammock. The cottage is decorated in a beekeepers style, with an antique white iron bed with a new mattress. A small kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower. This property is also ideal for traveling professionals on an out of state project, locals needing a residence while their home is under construction, traveling nurses, graduate college students, people moving into the state and looking for a place to stay while they house shop. \* Private entrance, cottage to side of main home on property \* Cottage opens to beautifully kept garden \* 1 bedroom/1 bath. 175 square feet \* Hot tub-Reserve with owner \* Kitchenette: mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, barbecue upon request \* Wi-Fi available \* Home is part of the 2018 Garden Tour! \* W/D can be arranged as well as full size fridge for those on an extended stay \* Safe neighborhood in Gig Harbor, minutes to Tacoma This beekeeper s cottage is an easy drive to Tacoma, Bremerton, Seattle, Bellevue, Mt. Rainier and the rainforests of the Olympic Mountain range. But first make sure you partake in everything Gig Harbor and nearby areas have to offer. After you've strolled through the quaint downtown and shopped the boutiques and antique stores take your pick from any of the great restaurants and cafes. Seafood is always on the menu. From the ever popular Tides Tavern for casual waterfront dining to Anthony s where the views are as fabulous as the food. You won t be disappointed by the wide variety of culinary choices. Gig Harbor is surrounded by water so you can take your pick of activities. Go whale watching with Destiny Tours, check out the History Museum to learn about Gig Harbor s nautical past, pack a picnic and head to one of the many great state parks for a day of sun and sand. Paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops abound within blocks. Double check the address we are on 64th Ave but Google maps sometimes send people to 86th for some unknown reason. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103070000/103060600/103060539/eb38490d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Delightful Treehouse Getaway Gig Harbor 9.4 Exceptional 18 reviews CA $210 CA $302 total includes taxes & fees Oct 20 - Oct 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=103060539&PinnedHotelID=103060539&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lobby sitting area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/120000/118600/118506/f5873b2b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The INN at Gig Harbor Gig Harbor - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 1,393 reviews CA $188 CA $214 total includes taxes & fees Oct 20 - Oct 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=118506&PinnedHotelID=118506&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27100000/27097000/27096950/e89abe51.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stand-Alone Studio: Wollochet Bay waterfront access Gig Harbor - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 91 reviews CA $196 CA $375 total includes taxes & fees Oct 27 - Oct 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=27096950&PinnedHotelID=27096950&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99380000/99377400/99377324/w1018h683x3y0-757fa043.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic Charming Boat in Downtown Harbor Gig Harbor - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Fireplace 9.8 Exceptional 32 reviews CA $133 CA $296 total includes taxes & fees Nov 3 - Nov 4 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=99377324&PinnedHotelID=99377324&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32040000/32033900/32033840/8cdc2fd8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "The Red Door" 1 mile from downtown. 1 bedroom.

It was such a perfect respite for the weekend, allowing us also to easily explore the Harbor as well as drive into Seattle and take a ferry to Bainbridge Island. We adored the cottage with all of the adorable touches. Nina was the most delightful host that felt like a friend. We loved getting to know all of their furry and feathered friends on the property. The welcome package with the sweet honey touches as well as the delicious coffee and beautiful mugs made for such nice slow mornings.
