IDYLLIC 'PUGET VIEW COTTAGE'
Welcome to Puget View Cottage--- An historically designated heritage cabin---the only one offered for vacation rental in the south Puget Sound area, tastefully updated for your comfort and convenience while acknowledging the unique classic ambiance that Puget View has to offer.
• Expansive, inspiring marine-mountain vistas
• Private beach/campfire area
• Kayaks - one with buddy seat for small child
• Neighborhood rain forest and saltwater beach park

Puget View Cottage is set gracefully among towering firs and rhododendrons on a promontory above the broad south shore of Puget Sound. From your coffee table inside the cottage, outside on your deck, or in the garden hammock, Puget View --- on the grounds of your host's vintage log home --- welcomes you with peaceful beauty and comfortable hospitality, making Puget View Cottage a great choice for weekend getaways, romantic retreats, and week-long stays of family fun.
Read our years of reviews, then come and experience Puget View!
Savor the best of the Northwest --- BBQ on your deck, get out on the water in a complimentary kayak. Share the company of your favorite people over a campfire cook-out on your beach. Be inspired by the snow-capped peaks of Olympic National Park across the bay.
On winter days, cozy up in the cottage, or collect a few sand dollars. Explore the neighborhood rain forest of gorgeous 100-acre Tolmie State Park, nearly next door.
We have over a dozen guest books of lovely notes from former Puget View guests---and friends! We look forward to adding your name to the list and to hosting you at Puget View!

UNFORGETTABLE
As a couple, my spouse and I have stayed in B&Bs in 45 states. While most of those accommodations were fine, and many were lovely, none come close to this Puget Sound cottage. Where to begin: The view was breathtaking, the grounds impeccably landscaped, and the cottage itself was a small space of perfect design. The owners thought of everything and somehow fit it all in seamlessly. The tiny kitchen was well-stocked, the bed was comfy, there was even great water pressure in the (admittedly small) shower. The owners' sensitivity to the value of little creature comforts--soothing music playing upon arrival, food provisions enough for two breakfasts in the fridge, a goodbye basket on the doorstep upon our departure, complete with snacks and souvenirs--reveals just how deeply invested they are in their guests' TOTAL experience. It is as though caring for this exquisite space, AND for those of us lucky enough to share it for a brief time, is a kind of ministry for them. My spouse and I drove away with great reluctance on our last day, marveling over and over to each other, "We are so lucky."

We spent two nights in this wonderful cottage. It’s a very nice, well maintained and charming place. The hike down to the beach and along the coast was nice. We didn’t kayak because of the wind and tide times, but that is a nice option.

Great little gem
Had a wonderful few days. Accommodations were perfect for the two of us. I showed off some serious toaster oven skills and the two burner stovetop was just right! Sweet bonus of eggs and muffins was just perfect! So much to explore. Path to the beach is steep but just take your time and grab one of the walking poles and you will be fine. Would recommend and already have! Thank you!

Perfect little cabin for two with an amazing view of the water out the front window. I slept so well on the comfy queen bed. Very homey and comfortable with personal, hospitable touches from the owners who clearly love and care for this property. The hike down to the beach was steep but short and easy to navigate and we were able to walk over to the state park with it's wonderful trails both from the beach and from the street. Amazing how the tiny kitchen had everything we needed, and Dick even brought us some ketchup when we forgot condiments for our hotdogs!

Anniversary Trip
This was an amazingly perfect place to stay! We loved the walk down to the beach, which was covered in sand dollars and purple shells. The bed was comfortable, and everything we needed was easy to find. It was a very well-thought out little cottage, and will will happily stay here again in the future.

A week in the Country
We live just outside Washington DC and once a year I find a place that is either in the country or country like. The location could not have been better. Quiet, a view (this year smoke from the fires) so views not so much. Easy to get to I-5 which made traveling to Mt St Helen’s and area attractions very easy. The cottage was comfy, bed excellent, and the yard area a visual delight. Someone has an artists eye with the plantings. Thank you to the Yunkers for sharing your cottage.
