Bunco Babe Stay!!

All the reviews were spot on, a peaceful, lovely location, house very clean, cupboards abundant with all necessities and more, plenty of seating.A few suggestions: **master lamp (lake side of room) would go on and off; changing bulb did not help**Pillows were very stained; we'd suggest pillow covers with zippers (and replacement of pillows)**Extra face cloths and hand towels**Front porch could use a railing in the middle, so it would be accessible going up or down the few stairsIt was a great find for us, and Gig Harbor has grown so much since we've been here. That means another trip for us!!Thank you!!

Annual Sisters Getaway

Stay was great, loved the fireplace as made it cozy. Love the NO SHOES policy as made for the place staying extra clean, with carpet there is nothing worse than having everyone where shoes in the house. The dock makes perfect for fishing or lounging.

Wonderful home on the lake!

Our family of four (two kids 10 and 12) loved our stay here! The home is clean, well-stocked and so well taken care of. We loved fishing off the dock and using the pedal boat! The owners are so easy to be in touch with and very helpful. It was the perfect place for us to base our vacation from as we explored the area!

Quick graduation trip

The house is well maintained, in a great location, and offers a chance to relax and rest. We had a busy weekend with graduations, but were able to get back and rest after all the activities. Plenty of room for family of 5 to stretch out.

Very Cute & Quiet

Our stay in Gig Harbor was wonderful. The house was spotless and well-equipped with all the kitchen essentials. The heated floors in the primary bathroom were a lovely touch, especially since the weather was cooler during our visit. The area is stunning, with plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. We had a fantastic time taking the kids to a drive-in movie theater for a double feature under the stars. It was a perfect family getaway!

Wonderful stay!

Very nice, convenient location! Clean, well-stocked, and nicely laid out home. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck looking at the water and backyard critters. Close to shops, food, and gas stations but still a very quiet setting. Can’t say enough positive things. We definitely would recommend it and will stay again if we’re ever in the area. Thanks!

It was a short stay for a family member’s funeral. It was nice to be able to visit with other out of town relatives in a home setting. The house was perfect for that!

Host profile image
Our family loves to travel in comfort so we wanted to offer that to others too. We owned an oceanfront vacation rental (Rago's Oceanfront Retreat) on Washington's Long Beach Peninsula for 12 years before purchasing this fun lakefront Gig Harbor home in 2017 and turning it into another relaxing home for guests to enjoy. Thank you for considering our beautiful home!

We love & live in Gig Harbor so why not have our business here too so we can share this fabulous community with others. We are happy to point out Gig Harbor gems for guests to enjoy.
