Lovely Tacoma Cottage w/ Fire Pit, Near Dtwn!

10/10 Excellent

"While the cottage is small, it didn't feel small. I was able to make a roast in the small oven with no problem and loved the convenience of the washer and dryer in the cottage. The bed was very comfortable and the two ceiling fans offered enough air that, even without an air conditioner (I'm from Texas so the fact that there was no AC was worrisome) I was very comfortable in the cottage. There was parking in the back and side of the cottage which was very convenient. I would definitely"
