Beautiful home with gorgeous views

We loved the privacy of the home, and the amazing views. Our family had a great time, and enjoyed many evenings playing cards at the table enjoying the view. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment to prepare meals for group of eight. The house was clean, and very well maintained.

Fantastic vacation home with stunning views

We loved our stay here! We didn’t want to leave. Stunning views await as you walk through the front door - of the water, the bridge and Mt. Rainer. The house is gorgeous but also feels like home. Beds are very comfortable. You can adjust the temperature in each room. Kitchen is fully stocked, with a built in coffee/espresso maker. The hosts are easy to reach and very responsive. The location is great - close to wonderful spots in both Tacoma and Gig Harbor.

5 Stars – Stunning Views and Unforgettable Stay!We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful chateau! The panoramic views of the Puget Sound, Tacoma, the Narrows Bridge, and Mount Rainier were absolutely breathtaking — it felt like waking up in a postcard every day.The home itself was gorgeous and incredibly comfortable, with a gourmet kitchen that made cooking a joy. We really appreciated all the thoughtful amenities, from the fully stocked kitchen to the laundry setup and even a Bluetooth speaker for setting the perfect vibe.One of our favorite things was simply sitting outside and soaking in the peaceful environment — it was the perfect mix of relaxation and natural beauty.We’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a serene, luxurious getaway in the Pacific Northwest!

Beyond our expectations!

Our group of twelve stayed at this property for Memorial Day weekend and it was truly memorable. The home is so spacious and has so many great features. Truth be told, we spent most of our time outside relaxing in the backyard, watching the boat go by, and looking for hummingbirds at the feeder. The bedrooms are spacious, the bathrooms plentiful, and the three stories make it easy to have a few private moments to yourself or with a loved one. We are considering making this an annual stay. The owner is extremely kind, thoughtful, and responsive!!

Views good, could be cleaner

Overall the place was okay. It did feel scary at night. There were some issues with cleanliness of certain things like the coffee maker there was mold, etc. but overall good. Some people may be a little scared at night just because of the darkness and the feel of the place. Property manager communicated very well and worked with us.

Making Special Memories

Our family group of three generations thoroughly enjoyed our Gig Harbor stay. We felt like royalty. We enjoyed the views from the porch and windows. We put together a puzzle in front of the family room window, looking out in the bridge and Mt. Rainier. It was amazing to see Mt. Rainier in so many different lights during the day. We enjoyed watching the water and the trains on the other side. The home gave us lots of room to spread out. The beds were comfortable. Maryam was very responsive and knowledgeable about restaurants and current activities in the area and respected our privacy. We enjoyed the fancy coffee maker, grilling fresh salmon on the bbq grill, and roasting marshmallows for some mores in the fire pit. We stayed more than a week, but wish we could have stayed longer. We made some very special memories for our family and thank Maryam for sharing her unique chateau with us.

TADA

Sharing a beautiful home with complete strangers takes great faith in mankind. I wish I could include the sounds and faces of our family, especially the young adult grandchildren as they arrived. For them, it was like being inside a fairy tale. Both the house, the location, surrounded by forest, the Sound, and Mt. Rainier as a backdrop for your morning cup of coffee on the balcony, it was difficult to even want to explore!. If you are interested in preparing a dinner, the kitchen is a culinary delight. We always attempt a family photo shoot when we are together, and this site was perfect without having to leave with a forest or water backdrop. Mariyam is the true gem of this experience. She went out of her way to help with our schedule, left amazing suggestions from dining, groceries, to highlights of the area. She is a great communicator that helped add to an extraordinary journey. As an educator, it was an A++ experience for our entire family and it is on the list to return someday. TADA!

Fabulous View

The view is stunning. The common areas look great – clean and modern. In general the property is well maintained. The photos accurately reflect the grounds, exterior, and common areas. We were excited until we arrived and found out the listing was not correct with regards to the sleeping beds and the number of bathrooms. The property was described as 5 bathrooms and 7 sleeping beds. First, there is only 3.5 bathrooms – one of the toilets is not operation during the summer months (we rented in August), and one is only a half bath. One bathroom is in the laundry room and there isn’t enough room to comfortably walk past the W/D to the toilet and shower. The bathroom in the basement (without a working toilet) had a broken shower door with broken glass on the shower floor, and a clogged sink with awful-looking standing water. There is only one (master) bathroom photo but, it doesn't look like that now. With no curtain be prepared to flash anyone standing on the back patio. The other bathrooms are dated and don’t look anything like the one bathroom photo. More and accurate photos would be helpful. The listing described 7 sleeping beds: 1 king, 3 queen, a twin, a futon, and a sofa that converts to a double. There wasn’t a sleeper sofa in the basement. And, the twin is not a full-sized twin – it is a child’s bed. I contacted the owner to let her know of the inaccuracies and since our stay the listing has been updated to accurately reflect the beds and baths.
