MANAGED BY NINA DREYER Guest Review: "The Bee Keeper s Cottage is simply ADORABLE, located in a beautiful backyard with private access. Has all the amenities one would need; also very comfortable for two people. Not too far to shopping center. Judy D."
$35 Cleaning Fee $250 Refundable Deposit The Beekeeper s Cottage is a short term/vacation rental. Located beside the main home the beekeeper s cottage has friendly, happy bees to right of driveway that provide fresh honey. We have 2 sweet white small ducks that enjoy the back-yard pond/water-fall area. We also have a 12-year old black manx kitty names Gideon, and a small indoor dog named Daisy plus a sweet bunny named Newman. In summer we have a beautiful garden and a wonderful back-yard and relaxing hammock. The cottage is decorated in a beekeepers style, with an antique white iron bed with a new mattress. A small kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower. This property is also ideal for traveling professionals on an out of state project, locals needing a residence while their home is under construction, traveling nurses, graduate college students, people moving into the state and looking for a place to stay while they house shop. * Private entrance, cottage to side of main home on property * Cottage opens to beautifully kept garden * 1 bedroom/1 bath. 175 square feet * Hot tub-Reserve with owner * Kitchenette: mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, barbecue upon request * Wi-Fi available * Home is part of the 2018 Garden Tour! * W/D can be arranged as well as full size fridge for those on an extended stay * Safe neighborhood in Gig Harbor, minutes to Tacoma This beekeeper s cottage is an easy drive to Tacoma, Bremerton, Seattle, Bellevue, Mt. Rainier and the rainforests of the Olympic Mountain range. But first make sure you partake in everything Gig Harbor and nearby areas have to offer. After you've strolled through the quaint downtown and shopped the boutiques and antique stores take your pick from any of the great restaurants and cafes. Seafood is always on the menu. From the ever popular Tides Tavern for casual waterfront dining to Anthony s where the views are as fabulous as the food. You won t be disappointed by the wide variety of culinary choices. Gig Harbor is surrounded by water so you can take your pick of activities. Go whale watching with Destiny Tours, check out the History Museum to learn about Gig Harbor s nautical past, pack a picnic and head to one of the many great state parks for a day of sun and sand. Paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops abound within blocks. Double check the address we are on 64th Ave but Google maps sometimes send people to 86th for some unknown reason.

Absolutely loved staying with Nina and Brent! They are so accommodating and very giving, your comfortability is in their best interest! I hope to stay here again in the future!
The host was very welcoming! This little cottage is the perfect space for two people. So many little details; they have supplied every thing you need for a comfortable stay.
Everything was absolutely perfect! The hosts were delightful, but also had anticipated everything we could have needed in advance. We enjoyed talking with them during our stay, loved the cottage, the quiet, the pets too!
Nina and Brent are always so accommodating and make the stay amazing. We look forward to our stay every year. Thank you and see you next year.

Very peacefull and quiet. Beautiful yard and gardens.. Nina was a joy to visit with. She is a very nice and interesting person. I hope that I can return for another visit with my wife so she can see how nice it is.

We absolutely thoroughly enjoyed your stay John. I can’t wait to meet your wife as well and visit with her. Blessings to you both.
The property was beautiful. Nicely landscaped. Our only downside was the room was smaller than expected. Unable to exit/enter the bed from both sides. Other than that it was great!! Nina and Brent were perfect hosts!
Thank you for the wonderful stay - everything was perfect!

Quiet and peaceful setting on a beautiful property
I enjoyed staying in the cozy cottage. It’s very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The downtown area is not far from the vrbo and there are many things to do and see there. Gig harbor is quite nice with great restaurants On the harbor. Brent and Nina are wonderful hosts.
My name is nina, I started saving for this property when I was 11 years old. I bought the property right out of High School. In 1991 the house was purchased from Tacoma and moved onto the property. It was originally built in 1940. In 2016 the Beekeepers Cottage moved onto the property.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this property when I was 18yrs old. I just love the big trees and all the birds and wildlife. The property is very close to the water and to beautiful Gig Harbor.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is located in a beautiful garden with a waterfall and a large open patio. There is a wonderful hot tub that makes star gazing and relaxing a year round event. In the summer there is a big Hammock for taking a afternoon nap. The two adirondack chairs on the porch is a perfect place to share a fresh brewed pot of coffee. From the deck you have a perfect view for watching the ducks play in the pond. The Harbor is just 7 minutes away, making grabbing a bite to eat and a movie a easy task.
