Sweet cozy cottage in the heart of Proctor
I couldn't rave more about the location of this cottage--walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. But equally private and quiet in the cottage/neighborhood. I loved it and would definitely stay again.

Lovely spot
This is the second time staying at Danny’s cottage. Was just as lovely this time. Perfect location near Procter and UPS. Quiet and cozy. The steps to the upstairs bedroom are steep and quite narrow but this was not an issue for us.

Terrific Family Thanksgiving Cottage
The cottage was absolutely the best ever!! From location to perfectly fitting for my grandson to stay part of the time, to a great kitchen for preparing all my pies and dishes to take to the big Thanksgiving feast a few minutes away. Comfy and cozy, and wonderful peace and neighborhood atmosphere from start to finish. Would stay here anytime family gets together in this area, and maybe even just as a fun, walkable place to spend time exploring this area. Hosts were the best ever!

Perfect Proctor Location
Talk about a great place with a great location- this is it! The house is perfect with every detail attended to- a warm house welcome with snacks, wine, tea and coffee. An immaculate house with an extra comfy bed. Definitely our top place for staying in Tacoma - Proctor specifically with less than a block to downtown. If you need a weekend getaway or a longer stay- this is THE place.

What a gem!
My husband, son, and I rented this cottage for a week while visiting family in the area. It was perfect for us. The location was great for our day trips to Seattle, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor. It’s well-kept, very clean, and in a nice, quiet neighborhood. There are restaurants, shops, and food stores all in walking distance. Outdoor deck area and gated driveway parking is a big plus. Owners are very nice and very accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Millar

Host profile image
Owners, Danny & Teres, are a Scottish / American couple who are teachers (retired), visual artists and savvy travelers. We have created a space that we, ourselves, would enjoy staying in while away from home.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is next door to our 1904 family residence. We bought the house, built in 1908, to create a guest house for friends, family and visitors to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We have preserved the integrity of this post Victorian cottage, while adding modern comforts.

What makes this property unique

Our North End neighborhood is a very desirable area of Tacoma. Our location is quiet and safe, yet only minutes away from the vibrant Proctor District and also the University of Puget Sound. It is perfect for UPS' Parents Weekends, graduations etc. It is an ideal spot for those traveling on business.
It is centrally located to explore the Seattle / Tacoma area, ski slopes, Puget Sound and Pacific Ocean beaches, waterways and islands. All can be day trips.
Tacoma is in the midst of a cultural revival as found in such places as the Tacoma Art Museum, Museum of International Glass, the Washington State Historical Museum and the LeMay Car Museum.
Cottage is ideally located for golfers wishing to play Chambers Bay, home of the 2015 US Open.
