Cottage in the Gardens
This place is truly a special experience. Just check out all our reviews. Many love to connect with the friendly farm animals. The BNB is very comfortable & private. The exceptional Gardens give the impression we are miles away from the city, but all services are within 2 miles. Just a mile off the freeway, its easy access to the salt water, walking paths & parks, restaurants, museums, stores. Only a couple hours(or less) to Rainier & Olympic National parks, the ocean, zoo, wildlife parks.
