Waterfront Wollochet Cottage
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (23)
"A delightful place to stay. My daughter loved the loft and kept talking about the amazing view of the water from up in her nook. Nice and clean and well appointed. I was worried the one heater wouldn’t be enough but we were plenty toasty and had to turn it down eventually. Easy check in and out, fantastic owner communication, and very lovely stay."

Retro-style Home in Ruston: Walkable Location!
3.0 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"We booked this property while taking a trip to the west side to visit family. We originally chose it because it was close to the zoo. The fact that it’s a completely remodeled, period style home was a quirky bonus, until we got there. Every detail was perfect, from the furniture down to music playing when we walked in. We’re already planning our next visit, but without the kids next time. "

"Dont stay here! The place is nice inside, but if you want to sleep, dont stay here. Train tracks are a block away and blare their horns all night long. There were 3 trains alone from 1-1:30am. I asked to cancel my second night stay and get a refund due to the fact that this noise issue is not disclosed in the posting. The management company, Evolve, has been extremely dismissive and will only give me a refund worth 1/4 of the daily total, even though I gave notice, asked for a refund, and...

Private Cottage and Hot Tub, Spectacular Sunset & Mtn Views
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (203)
"This guest house over the owners' garage is exactly as listed. The hot tub is well maintained with love and care, and not overly chlorinated which was a pleasant surprise. That view is everything! Very happy parking was provided too. For the price, I would have appreciated non-Keurig coffee with real half and half, since the shelf stable creamers were chunky and drinking meh coffee in Seattle (or anywhere) feels like sacrilege. More than one bath towel per person (I have long hair) would have...

Sandy Beach Front Cottage with great Sunsets
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (31)
"The overall week we stayed here was very nice! The front door was very hard to open when we first got to the house, but we were able to get it open after some wiggling. Everybody walked the large beach at low tide and we got to see a decent amount of sea creatures! Specifically sea stars, sea snails, a sea slug, anemones, and seals! It was sadly cloudy everyday we were there, but we did get to see the mountain views the day before we left which was a nice surprise. We didn't expect the loft to...
