An elegantly-decorated traditional colonial home overlooking scenic north end Tacoma, just 30 miles south of Seattle. Guests can enjoy breathtaking bay & mountain views from guest rooms and the common areas.

Guestrooms are quite large and each has different, comfortable decor with top quality queen-size beds, private baths, lots of closet or dresser space, as well as bedside reading lights. Guests can relax in our bayview fireside reading area, a secluded outdoor hot tub in a lovely garden, (after enjoying a spin on our mountain bicycles) or the casual game room with large-screen tv, microwave, and refrigerator.

Massages, limos, and boat charters can be arranged also. An office area for business travellers (with a fax and modem data port) is even available. Select rooms include cable TV, VCRs, and telephones. We offer an early businessman's breakfast on weekdays, and free transportation to nearby universities or downtown business areas.

The home is close to several nice waterfront parks, jogging/hiking trails, great restaurants, quaint shops (including antiques), and easy freeway access. Rates include a delicious full breakfast and different gourmet coffees or teas served daily!
