Ruston Cottage
Wonderful! Beautiful accomodations. Very centrally located. Within walking distance to Point Defiance Park, a must see while in Tacoma. Host was wonderful. I would highly recommend her cottage to all, and I hope to return here in the future.

Best stay ever
Nora is absolutely amazing! This was my first Verbo and it absolutely did not disappoint! We came to Seattle for my daughter’s appointment and needed a nice place to stay and close to everything! This place is so clean and beautiful!! Nora really thought of everything!! Definitely will be staying here again!! The kids enjoyed the back yard and the games she provided for when it rained!

Cozy Cottage - 2nd visit
We found this Ruston cottage to be clean, inviting and stocked with everything a person (or their dog) could need, again! This was our 2nd time renting this cute little house and last time was our very 1st vacation rental by owner, of any sort. We've rented several in the past year and I can now say, with some authority, this one is top notch!! Easy and accommodating communication with Nora. She takes her business seriously, you can tell and it shows. The house both times has been clean, clean, sparkling clean. The backyard has been wonderf for our pooch and our friends slept again on the sofa bed. Worked out great for all of us attending the Daffodil Festival!

Perfection
My daughter lives in Tacoma with her husband, two littles and a dog, so there isn't much room left at their house. I found this on VRBO and it was absolute perfection. It is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood and has a large back yard. Nora is so thoughtful; this place has everything that you could need; small jars of q-tips, cotton balls, tea, hot chocolate, etc., etc. It is immaculately clean and beautifully set up. I have found a home away from home and will not look for anywhere else to stay when I am in Tacoma.

Great spot— extra love for our dog.

Nice quiet spot perfect for a single or couple
Nice clean and comfy spot near point defiance park in Tacoma or not far from University of Puget Sound Nice living room kitchen bedroom and bath set up. Was perfect for me traveling alone or would be great for two people sharing the bedroom. The kitchen was modern, the laundry room was nice to have although I didn’t use it. Very nice spot in Tacoma I’ll definitely book it again next time work takes me to Tacoma.

Oh my gosh, where to begin! This was an amazing find in every way! The owner, Nora, was wonderful—she communicated clearly and quickly. The cottage was beautiful and extremely clean! The bed was cozy, the kitchen was great, the backyard was a nice surprise too… and even had lawn darts! Nora thought of everything! I just can’t rate this high enough, so we will definitely be back!

This cozy Ruston Cottage was amazing!!
This was our first VRBO experience and I can't imagine a better intro. This cute little place was just as advertised but had so many thoughtful extras. Nora seemed to think of everything! She was easy to communicate with and very accomodating. If you stay here you won't be sorry. Check out the Antique Sandwich shop around the corner. It's got a hippy throwback vibe and wonderful food.
