Country Cottage Apartment - Entire 2nd Floor (UPS District - N Tacoma)

This completely renovated home is located in a quiet tree-lined Jo neighborhood just two blocks from the beautiful University of Puget Sound campus. Guests share the entrance with hosts who live on the first floor. Up one flight of stairs and through a doorway to the second floor, guests have exclusive use of the second floor in this spotless home. This entire floor was added 10 years ago and features two large bedrooms (air conditioning), bathroom with shower, sitting room, and fully equipped kitchen. There is a door at the top of the stairs into the sitting room, which closes off from the downstairs, allowing total privacy.
There is a laundry room located on the first floor, which guests are welcome to share with the hosts.

No minimum night stay requirement. Ample free parking.
No pets or smoking please.
Easy access to local amenities, waterfront restaurants and downtown Tacoma.

This home has undergone a very long and extensive, COMPLETE remodel. All work has been done by us. "This Old House" enthusiasts would be proud. We have striven for an English country cottage look - down to the numerous gardens and hand-planed white picket fence.

To reiterate above information: Guests will have use of the entire second floor where two bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchenette , and sitting room are located.
Hosts live downstairs and share the front door/entrance with guests.
The sitting room has an HD TV and small dining area. There is a fully equipped kitchenette; and a huge master bedroom (queen bed) with HD TV, sitting and desk areas; a bathroom with shower and small tub, fully furnished kitchenette and a second bedroom (queen bed). Guests have full use of the front porch with old fashioned porch swing and wicker furniture - reminiscent of days gone by. There is also a private brick patio with gardens, a water feature, firepit and patio string lights. You have complete access and use of these areas. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or afternoon cocktails overlooking our lovely gardens either on the front porch or patio.

Parents visiting their student(s) at UPS are always welcome. We are literally two blocks from the main entrance of the Administration Building from our property.
We designed our renovations with the intention of offering UPS parents a welcoming place to stay when visiting their children at the University.

Our downstairs dining room (seats 8) (and full kitchen) can be available upon request for a special meal/occasion. (Parents of UPS students can prepare their favorite meal and/or have them bring a few friends over for dinner). With notice, hosts will make themselves scarce for the evening.

Location: Two blocks from the beautiful University of Puget Sound campus; within one half mile of the waterfront; within walking distance to the charming Proctor District (and STARBUCKS); one mile to Old Town; two miles to the waterfront restaurants and walking trails; and, three miles to downtown Tacoma; 30 miles south of Seattle.

Logistics:
* 45 minute straight shot on I-5 South from SeaTac Airport

We look forward to sharing our home with you.

This was a beautiful, comfortable haven! It was well-stocked with everything we needed, the space was quiet and homey, and the hosts were incredibly kind. It was our first time staying in a place with a shared entrance, and I was a bit nervous, but the hosts made us feel incredibly welcome without ever imposing on our personal space. As a bonus, the beds were the most comfortable any of our family has ever slept in! We will definitely stay here again soon!

Kathleen and David are the perfect hosts! Very friendly and hospitable, helped in any way they could to make our stay most comfortable. The upstairs apartment is luxurious and in good taste, very private, clean and with all amenities provided! Kathleen had food in the fridge in case we hadn't made it to the store, but the cottage location is conveniently located near stores and restaurants.

Best hosts EVER!! From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by our hosts andinstantly felt welcomed. Kathleen took us upstairs and took us on a tour of ouraccommodations, offering explanations to our questions. They say love is in the details and, ifthis is true, we felt well loved. Anything we needed or wanted was provided by our thoughtfulhosts. The accommodations were beautifully decorated, giving us the feeling of being in atranquil cottage. Dave and Kathleen’s green thumbs gave us a beautiful yard filled with thriving,colorful landscaping and a quiet, peaceful patio with a waterfall fountain and more plants,creating the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy pastries and mimosas! We will DEFINTELY beback on our next trip to Tacoma!

Quiet retreat in the North End

I stayed for 6 days to visit friends and relax. The space is very large for 1 person and can easily accommodate more. No noise from downstairs at all. Very close to dining and shopping.There are a couple of windows in each room without curtains. If you are light sensitive, especially in the summer, you may want to bring an eye mask.The window air conditioners in each bedroom are excellent. You can set a temperature and set it to auto. There is also a great breeze if it isn't super hot Would definitely stay again!

Spacious, well-appointed and quiet. Beautiful neighborhood with historic homes and mature trees. Downside for me was too firm of a mattress in the larger bedroom. Super hospitable owners, although we rarely saw them.
