This is a great cottage that was perfect for my daughter, her two children, and myself for a 3-day getaway. It was really clean, and while not child-proofed (which we knew), it was really easy to put up the things we didn't want the kids to get into. So we had a great stay! Good location with nice low-key activities, which was just what we wanted. Carla, the owner, was really nice and helpful - thank you!
Farm to Fancy was all we needed and more. Our daughter was graduating from the local University and due to the pandemic spectators were not allowed.
We needed this to be an amazing day for her and this location was better than perfect.
My husband, myself and mother-in-law stayed Friday night and my son and his girlfriend visited until midnight helping decorate the inside of the house and food prep for the party the next day.
We ended up having to move our original plan of eating outside to inside. We brought our own folding tables and chairs and EASILY fit all of our 10 family members inside (we have all had our Covid vaccine) and comfortable ate with plenty of room. We all watched our daughter's virtual graduation on in the living room TV.
The home had everything we needed except for a few larger serving utensils, but the dollar tree is right around the corner so we grabbed what we needed from there.
Speaking of shopping... This home feels like you're out in the country, but it's seriously within walking distance of great restaurants and shopping.
We went to the restaurant pictured in the VRBO listing and we so surprised with the quality of food and service, we highly recommend it as well.
Carla, the host was amazing. She communicated well and responded quickly to any question I had.
The horses around the property were and added bonus. They helped bring peace to what could have been a very high stress celebration.
I highly recommend Carla's home. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you Carla and family!!
The property owner is always wonderful to work with and the place is always clean and comfortable, something very important to me. I am always grateful for a close place to stay to get away with friends to work on things important in life.. a great work away from home location!!!
P.S. Love the bunnies and horses too... beautiful setting.
We loved staying here. It was great to have our own guest house and the place is beautiful. Very charming and the perfect size. Easy walking to several restaurants and the best part is that you can see Mt Rainier from the porch! We are already talking about staying here again next year 🙂
