About this property
Historic Beautiful 4-bedroom mansion house in Stadium District of Tacoma
Once owned by the famous Weyerhaeuser family, the historic 1906 Gower Mansion sleeps up to 11 guests. At over 5,000 sq ft, the mansion features historic Italian golden mirrors, grand staircases, & hand-carved stone fireplaces. It blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Situated on nearly half an acre, this rare gem offers the charm of a bygone era with room to relax, gather, and create lasting memories. A true piece of Washington history—you’ll really feel like a lumber baron of the past!
Welcome to the historic Gower Mansion, nestled in Tacoma’s highly sought-after Stadium District—one of the Pacific Northwest’s most charming neighborhoods. Built as the inspiration for the Washington Governor’s Mansion in Olympia, this one-of-a-kind home offers a rich blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort.
With over 5,000 sq ft of living space, the mansion accommodates up to 13 guests across various sleeping arrangements: 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, 1 high quality sofa bed and 5 twin beds (two are extra long twins). Inside, you’ll find a chef’s dream kitchen featuring a Wolf Range with griddle, a formal living and dining room, a cozy breakfast/tea room, a dedicated media room, and five fireplaces (for decorative use only).
Step outside to enjoy five spacious decks, a large patio, and a lush yard complete with a tree fort—perfect for kids! A basketball hoop, expansive front lawn, and off-street parking for 5+ cars make the outdoor space just as inviting. Guests have use of the entire main home and all exterior areas.
Architectural highlights include hand-carved stone details, intricate dentil molding, grand columns, and beautiful views of Commencement Bay. Every corner of the home tells a story—inviting you to relax, entertain, and make unforgettable memories in this remarkable setting.
Important Notes:
• A live-in caretaker resides in a private second-floor studio apartment, completely separate from your living space.
• Two single VRBOapartments are located on the third floor, accessible via a separate staircase.
• All guests (including those in the apartments) share a common lobby and single main entrance.
• Your group will enjoy full and private access to the entire main home and surrounding outdoor areas.
Come experience the grandeur, history, and warmth of Tacoma’s Gower Mansion—a true gem of the Pacific Northwest!
