Guest Review:
"The Bee Keeper s Cottage is simply ADORABLE, located in a beautiful backyard with private access. Has all the amenities one would need; also very comfortable for two people. Not too far to shopping center.

The Beekeeper s Cottage is a short term/vacation rental. Located beside the main home the beekeeper s cottage has friendly, happy bees to right of driveway that provide fresh honey. We have 2 sweet white small ducks that enjoy the back-yard pond/water-fall area. We also have a 12-year old black manx kitty names Gideon, and a small indoor dog named Daisy plus a sweet bunny named Newman.
In summer we have a beautiful garden and a wonderful back-yard and relaxing hammock.
The cottage is decorated in a beekeepers style, with an antique white iron bed with a new mattress. A small kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower.
This property is also ideal for traveling professionals on an out of state project, locals needing a residence while their home is under construction, traveling nurses, graduate college students, people moving into the state and looking for a place to stay while they house shop.
* Private entrance, cottage to side of main home on property
* Cottage opens to beautifully kept garden
* 1 bedroom/1 bath. 175 square feet
* Hot tub-Reserve with owner
* Kitchenette: mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, barbecue upon request
* Wi-Fi available
* Home is part of the 2018 Garden Tour!
* W/D can be arranged as well as full size fridge for those on an extended stay
* Safe neighborhood in Gig Harbor, minutes to Tacoma
This beekeeper s cottage is an easy drive to Tacoma, Bremerton, Seattle, Bellevue, Mt. Rainier and the rainforests of the Olympic Mountain range.
But first make sure you partake in everything Gig Harbor and nearby areas have to offer. After you've strolled through the quaint downtown and shopped the boutiques and antique stores take your pick from any of the great restaurants and cafes. Seafood is always on the menu.
From the ever popular Tides Tavern for casual waterfront dining to Anthony s where the views are as fabulous as the food. You won t be disappointed by the wide variety of culinary choices.
Gig Harbor is surrounded by water so you can take your pick of activities. Go whale watching with Destiny Tours, check out the History Museum to learn about Gig Harbor s nautical past, pack a picnic and head to one of the many great state parks for a day of sun and sand.
Paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops abound within blocks.
Double check the address we are on 64th Ave but Google maps sometimes send people to 86th for some unknown reason.

This property was amazing!! I told the host it should be featured in Better Home and Gardens magazine! The cottage and grounds were lovely. Their 2 cats, dog and ducks were a delight to have around the yard, and well mannered. The host was very kind, friendly and attentive! Thank you for everything. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

Beautiful garden retreat
Thank you Nina, for the best vacation rental experience we've had! This was our first time renting a property where the host is also in residence and we were uncertain of how it would go; it turned out to be delightfully easy! Nina made us feel completely welcomed and at home, as did her adorable menagerie of sweet animals (hi River, we miss you already!!). Having the option to relax in the gorgeous backyard/garden or make the short drive to charming downtown Gig Harbor gave us the best of both worlds. We're so glad we found Beekeeper's Cottage and can't wait to go back again.

Cozy, private cottage with easy commute to nearby holiday family gatherings.
Mostly stayed here to rest, explore Gig Harbor, and use as a convenient launch pad for commuting to family holiday events. Perfect for all of this, and the cottage also provided a cozy space with welcoming holiday decorations. Loved strolling along the waterfront area with a gorgeous decorated tree, reading local historical signs posted here and there, plus eating delicious “from scratch” meals at quaint local diners along the historic pathways.

Restful Cottage
I stayed here while commuting into Tacoma for some dates and it was so very relaxing to come back to each day! The backyard was a garden oasis (with a guard duck 😂). It was great to do morning yoga on the front porch and then wind down in the evening. Would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect Weekend Stay
The Beekeepers Cottage was perfect for the weekend while attending my class reunion. Close enough to my events, but far away enough from the noises of being directly in town. It is comfortable with a modern cottage look and feel to it. The hot tub was a great bonus just outside the cottage and a part of their beautiful backyard garden space. The owners are wonderful people who obviously care about their guests and the accommodations they provide. Along with getting to know both Nina and Brent, I enjoyed my daily greeting with their beautiful fluffy dog and cats along with their pair of ducks. Everything was great! Thanks so much!

Beautiful quaint getaway!
This place is adorable! The owners are lovely and take great care to make sure you have everything you need- including homemade beeswax products, honey and fresh eggs from their chickens! Perfect for one or two people - very romantic little cottage. I will definitely go again!

Highly recommend this charming cottage
Wonderful stay in this adorable cottage. This cottage is tiny but so welcoming and comfy. I went to Gig Harbor for a women's retreat and this was the perfect compliment to a weekend away. They have thought of all the details to make you feel welcome from the bottle of wine and treats to the coffee and relaxing decor.
