1940s cottage with oak flooring, grill, hammock, & water views - dog-friendly
Commencement Bayview Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Start each day gazing out at lovely views of the Puget Sound from this charmer's floor-to-ceiling windows. An idyllic stay in urban Tacoma, this 1948 cottage boasts an effortless indoor/outdoor living flow amidst the area's many attractions. When you aren't soaking up the sun from the private backyard patio, visit the Museum of Glass, Tacoma Dome, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, Chambers Bay Golf Course, or Titlow Park. You're also less than two miles from the Point Defiance Ferry Terminal, where you can take the ferry across to explore Vashon Island.
Oak hardwood flooring and cove ceilings compose the cozy interior of the cottage. The living room lends itself to pleasant reading or streaming sessions, whereas the kitchen's solid wood cabinetry and updated appliances make cooking a breeze! When you want to elevate your cooking, fire up the gas grill.
Full and content, completely unwind in the backyard hammock, or take a moment to yourself in one of the sizable bedrooms. A private washer/dryer and internet access round out the interior amenities at your fingertips.
