2 night stay in February

This was the perfect location to rendezvous with family on a recent trip to the area. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you need or want for a comfortable stay. The private yard right on the water was perfect for our Labrador. She gives it a five paw rating as well.

Perfect weekend getaway

The house and location is perfect! It was clean and had everything you could need or want. The views of the water and mountains were gorgeous and the hot tub and deck were very lovely. I look forward to staying again in the summer and utilizing the awesome deck, beach, dock, and kayaks.

We had a wonderful stay at the Blueberry Cottage. There is lots of outdoor space, a wonderful patio deck that is gated throughout and the covered pergola came in handy when it rained. The place was clean, the kitchen well stocked. We'd stay again.

Fantastic

This was our second time staying here and we hope to return again one day. It is great sitting out on the decking watching the ever changing tidal water and evening sunset. We enjoyed using the row boat and the location is so peaceful. Also made a great base for exploring the Tacoma and Olympic areas. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Alma Tramill

Host profile image
This property was owned by our family back in the 1800's bought from William Vaughn himself and sold - (1979). We were able to purchase it back in 2011, 32 years later. Our love for this place is so strong, we wanted to share with others the same opportunities we felt.

Why they chose this property

The Blueberry cottage (Vaughn Bay) A place where freedom is felt and loved. Watching the magical sunsets, never one duplicated! Free roaming wildlife to watch and share with. The beach is filled with its own life. At low tide watch as the clams bask in the warmth of the sand - a song of their own. The small crabs find refuge under the rocks. With tides high or low it's a world of enchantment, hours of fun and relaxing

What makes this property unique

Use the small Dock - launch for your own boat/kayak, or the public launch across the bay.

Available to use: (2) Costco kayaks and rowboat.

Shopping and fine Dining: 10 minutes away, Maritime Gig Harbor offers waterfront shopping. The Blueberry Cottage: offers easy access to the Olympic peninsula, Olympic National Park and Hood canal. It is nearby Belfair - Shelton known for it's ATV trails and nature preserve.

In season: Pick Blueberries and Raspberries
