The yard was absolute serenity, loved curling up in the swing and reading my book at the end of the day. The kubota garden was just half a mile away and so worth a visit. Was nice to get away from the congestion of downtown and just breath after a long day of sights. And you save 30 min driving to mount Rainier which is well worth a visit. Rosie and Stuart were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
