My stay couldn't have been more wonderful! Julie was so pleasant & down to earth. She really knew the ins and outs of Colombia city. It was a Staycation for me being a new mom and the hot tub, quiet atmosphere, walking up to the beautiful birds and we'll kept garden was exactly what I needed to work on music, relax, and pamper myself. I will for site be back! Julie was even so nice to invite me to a 4th of July party with her and some friends! I had other plans arranged but she truly made me feel welcome. She also has a very nice and eclectic book and movie collection. I started reading 3 cups of tea on my down time and truly enjoyed it. Upon my arrival Julie had some breakfast snacks in the refrigerator that I enjoyed and offered me some fresh veggies from her garden. I can't say enough great things about my stay at the cottage! Julie has truly been thoughtful about all of the hard work she has put into the cottage to make it the most relaxing & unassuming getaway! I would go back any day vs. Getting an overrated hotel. Not to mention is located in the PERFECT spot in Seattle. I'll be keeping in touch as I'm local to pierce County, any time I need a little getaway!
