Lots of extras
The property is very serene. The use of a private firepit and hot tub is super special. There are thoughtful extras, including a sound machine for sound sleep, two coffee makers, and trash & recycling options. It was very quick and easy to get to Seattle without staying in Seattle. We highly recommend the waterview suite.

Great jumping off place.
We choose this place for the location being close to the airport. The extra bonus is in the place itself with view of the sound in a neat neighborhood perched on the shores. This is not a quiet place with it being in the glide slope of SeaTac. It seemed the busiest times were early in the morning and about 9 in the evening. The place was very clean a full of supplies. There's a Trader Joes a couple of miles away so we bought drinks and a couple of microwave dinners. The owners would kind enough to bake a batch of croissants that we had purchased at TJs as there is no oven. Overall a very nice place to stay while in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Ruth Cogzell

Host profile image
We enjoy hosting guests from all over the world. We have designed all our houses with many comforts of a home and vacation combined.

We have both worked in hospitality for many years and we try to provide excellent customer service in all circumstances. We have lived and travelled all over the world and love the sights and sounds of the sea, rivers, mountains, wildlife and nature around us in the Pacific Northwest. We have travelled extensively in Washington and can share the hidden gems or where to visit and places to eat at that will make your visit that much more unique.

During the winter we love how accessible both our homes are to the snow resorts and mountains for sledding, snowboarding, skiing and hiking.

In spring and summer our homes are central to a myriad of state parks and idyllic waterfront towns. Come explore the beauty of the many lakes or the beaches of the Puget sound, waterfalls and lazy days on the river to paddle, tube and raft.

We enjoy making your stay in our homes a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Come stay awhile with us at either Mountain View House, The Little Barn at Mountain View or at Water View House.

Water View home was built in the early 1900’s and we are delighted that you can experience the history and charm of our driftwood and boutique Water View Puget Sound Getaway.

Mountain View House is a farmhouse conversion with sweeping views over the valley and ‘take your breath away’ views of the valley, Mt Ranier and the cascade mountains.

The Little Barn is our original farm barn at Mountain View. It is red and white and "farmhouse-ish". It has all the looks and rustic charm of the farm minus the animals.

We look forward to meeting and hosting you.
