Shooting stars are a frequent sight in late summer. Property backs to acreage with lovely landscaping, tall trees and abundant nature.

A scenic stop between Olympic National Forest & Seattle. Barbecue on the deck and make s'mores in the outdoor fire pit while you enjoy some fantastic star gazing! Deck has seating for 4. The cottage is 480 square feet including a living room with tv, kitchen with bar seating for 2, two smaller bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. (Please note we do not have a formal dining table.) Master bedroom has a full size bed & a closet with shelves and space to hang clothes. Second bedroom is right across the hall and has a twin bunk bed, dresser & closet. The living room has a futon that converts to a queen bed for an alternative sleeping space. The chair converts to a twin. There is only space for one to be used at a time. Twin ottoman is provided standard. If guests want to use the queen futon, they may request for the larger ottoman to be provided. We will provide linens and extra blankets. Flat screen TV with BlueRay DVD player for streaming Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. with a selection of DVDs for you to enjoy. You will have access through a driveway that shares access to our garage area, the entire cottage, the deck & the grass lawn directly behind the cottage. Behind the cottage & lawn is another large grassy area that you may also use. Off limits to guests are the main house and garage. We respect our guest's privacy and want you to feel as carefree and comfortable as possible! You likely won't see us much (if at all), but you can always reach us by messaging through Airbnb, or by phone or text. The owners live in the main home which is separated from the cottage by a detached garage. You may see them from time to time working around the property or entering the garage. The cottage is in a great country location, close and convenient to Port Orchard, Bremerton and Gig Harbor. There is parking for 3 cars in the driveway. There isn't much within walking distance, so a car will be needed to get around the area. There are several nearby restaurants & grocery stores. 15 minutes from scenic downtown Gig Harbor and 6 minutes to bus lines. The number of guests in the reservation is the maximum number of guests allowed on the property at any time, not just overnight. No additional guests are allowed on the property without prior approval. NO PETS ARE ALLOWED AT THIS LISTING! If you plan to use the queen futon in the living room, please let us know so that we can provide the larger ottoman & extra bedding. Being in the country, our next door neighbors have some farm animals that you may hear during your stay. We provide one fan and a sound machine. Additional fans are available by request.
