Hot Tub! Pets! Green Clean-Walking Distance to Proctor District

Stay at the Mellow Yellow House; walking distance to all the Proctor amenities!

Spacious backyard with an enormous deck, hot tub, and fire pit. 4 large bedrooms, 6 beds, 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchens; this is the perfect space for a family getaway, work trip, etc.

Relax with the whole family in this peaceful retreat right in the heart of N Tacoma


We are available for questions, advice, or emergencies by phone, text or email. We will be happy to respond in person for any emergency with the property.

The Mellow Yellow Guide Book is available in the house. It offers great local recommendations for food and beverages, attractions, or anything you might be seeking. It also gives instructions on how everything in the house operates.


We are nestled in the heart of beautiful North End Tacoma, a ten-minute walk to the popular Proctor District or 20 minute walk to 6th Ave District offering delicious restaurant and beverage options. The neighborhood is very centrally located with quick freeway access. It is an easy commute to nearly every part of Tacoma including the hospitals, Tacoma Dome, University of Puget Sound, downtown and the waterfront. We are close to a major bus line as well.




You will have access to the whole house and yard. We do have a couple locked closets for storage of our supplies, otherwise, the house is completely setup for guest use.

There is plenty of parking on the side of the house as well as 2 parking spaces out front.


You will have access to the entire house. You’ll have use of 4 bedrooms (2 queen beds, 2 twin beds and 2 full beds). There are 2 full bathrooms (1 with a bathtub, 1 with shower). One of the Queen bedrooms and the Twin bedroom (2 twins with trundle bed) and one bathroom are located on the main level. The 2 Full beds can be found upstairs in our "Kids loft" though adults are welcome to stay and find their inner child in this sweet space. The other Queen bedroom is located in the basement.

The upper living room offers a cozy sitting area with books, games and a smart TV for your family’s enjoyment. The kitchen has all the essentials including a gas range/oven, refrigerator, coffee maker (both drip coffee and single coffee pod use available), microwave and toaster. Just off the kitchen is a large dining area that seats 6 and a bar that seats 2. We also have a folding table in the basement that seats 4 that is flexible to move around the house/yard as needed.

The laundry room, kitchenette and "Game Room" are located in the basement with access to the backyard. We have Cornhole boards for you to take out on a sunny day, as well as outdoor dishes you can use for a family dinner in our park-like yard.

The backyard is fully fenced for the kiddos and pups. The large 6 person hot tub is the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

We gladly welcome pets with a flat $120 pet fee used for our stellar allergen-free cleaning protocol.


The house is on a corner with free street parking in front of the house and on the side street, as well as throughout the neighborhood. Please do not park in front of our neighbor's house as that is their only parking area.

Our neighborhood is an enjoyable area to walk in. Everything you might need is within a few minutes of the property. If you don't have a vehicle, there is easy access to public transportation and the Proctor District with grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and Post Office is a 10 minute walk.


In order to provide the best guest experience possible, we will send you a text message with the door code and other check-in details on check-in day. You will be able to reply via text with any questions that come up during your stay and we will reply quickly. You are welcome to opt out of text messages at any time.

The property was perfect for a large family. Several people in the family have chemical allergies and we really appreciated the intentional green cleaning practices. Being able to walk to downtown Proctor was a plus as was the distance to the airport. We highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay at Mellow Yellow on a trip to visit family. The place is very close to Metropolitan market, which is a great grocery store for any home cooking you'd like to do. Point Defiance Park and all its activities are also only fifteen minutes away, making it a convenient stay for anything up that way. The house has great activities for kids and a nice yard for outside play. Host is very communicative and friendly, any questions we had were addressed promptly. We'd recommend it and if we come back to visit would stay again.

Mellow house perfect for family

Our three generation family enjoyed our stay in this charming, comfortable, well organized house in a quiet, walkable neighborhood - walking distance to our favorite grocery store - Metropolitan Market, a short drive to Ruston, Point Defiance and Owen Beach and yet close to downtown museums. The hot tub, large yard and large eating deck were great!

Lovely North End Home Base

We loved our stay at Mellow Yellow with our three adult children. It is a perfect family gathering spot in a lovely neighborhood in North Tacoma. The kitchen was well-organized, well-stocked and helpfully labeled, and there was a great grill on the deck, so we were able to enjoy several outdoor meals during our stay. The ample back yard was very comfortable for our golden retriever and made a lovely suburban oasis. Upstairs and downstairs entertainment spaces made it easy for our group to maintain separate schedules when desired, and the home has a great library of books and games for both adults and children - a perfect family home base walking distance from the delightful Proctor District.

Host profile image
I love meeting and being a host to people from all over the world. It bring me joy to provide top-notch, curated properties for families, friends, and groups to enjoy while they are traveling. It perfectly combines the 30+ years as an entrepreneur and business owner experience in retail, interior design, and customer relations with this exciting aspect of hospitality.

Due to my health journey and having MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities) and my love for nature, all of the properties are Eco-Friendly. We do not use any harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances to help create a healthy environment for all who are staying in one of our homes. EcoFriendlyBnBs welcomes you!
