Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tumwater

Very clean. Peaceful and relaxing. Good bed, slept well. Beautiful setting and view of the lake. Steve and his wife were very helpful, friendly, and responsive. Felt at home. Thank you both very much!

We had to get emergency work on our home and Tom responded right away when we messaged him and answered my questions around my pets. We were able to book quickly and throughout our stay Tom was super responsive. The cabin was beautiful and we enjoyed staying for a couple nights. Thanks Tom for everything and if we could give 10 stars we would!

Our stay Angela‘s Aphrodite Airbnb was fabulous! Angela is a gem! You can tell from her home that she cares about her guests’ comfort. Every request we had was met with friendliness and responsiveness. I highly recommend her place. :)

We loved our stay at this wonderful cabin right on the water and would definitely return!

This was a great place to stay at for a weekend! Beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, hot tub, grill, fire pit. Gorgeous views. Only thing I wish was more clear before was that there is no door to the master. The front door opens into the master bedroom and there are stairs that go down to the kitchen and living area that also gives access to the back porch and dock area. Overall great spot for a getaway! Will definitely come back.

This was my second time at the Woodsy Retreat and it was wonderful, again. Enjoyed a hike through the State Forest, the hot tub, and all the goodies and snacks! Perfect place to relax and get away from it all!

Our family of 12 had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront home! The space was more than enough for everyone to be comfortable, with plenty of beds and room to spread out. Even our grandmother, who uses a walker, was able to get around the house with ease, which made the stay even more enjoyable. We absolutely loved the fire pit and used it every night—such a cozy spot to relax and unwind after a day of activities. The location was also perfect for attending St. Martin’s Graduation, just a short and easy drive away. The house was clean, well-equipped, and full of great amenities like the hot tub, sports court, and private dock. The hosts have clearly put thought into creating a fun yet peaceful getaway, and we really appreciated the care they put into the home. Highly recommend for large families or groups looking for a relaxing lakeside retreat!

This home is an absolute gem, do not pass up the opportunity to book here. Tranquility abounds in this neighborhood, and you can see the sparkle on the water and water fowl from your bed, or watch from the hot tub! My partner and I loved this place, not only for the natural beauty surrounding, but found the amenities and the home to be super clean, thoughtful and welcoming. The bed is like sleeping on a cloud, super comfortable pillows and linens. To preface - we both have slightly different sleep - preferences and found we both had incredible sleep here. The hosts were so kind to text us when a pod of orca whales were out front - what a dream! Their recommendations were excellent and I highly suggest checking out Via Rosa 11 if you can, and walking Grand Forest ( on their list ).

Marcell is a great host, friendly and communicative. Very helpful with local suggestions and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if the listing is available the next time I’m in Seattle.

We had a great stay while visiting family in the area. The home was clean and comfortable, and included nice touches like wifi and a guitar on the wall. The hosts were proactive and helpful in their communication. Location is near a Fred Meyer and the Tacoma Mall, but still on a quiet street. Also, quite easy to get up to downtown, Ruston Way, and Point Defiance.

This is such a gem here in the north west. Hosts like Linda are what make stays so much better. We will definitely be back again as this was just the perfect quiet getaway. The oysters and clams are amazing and was one of the highlights of our stay. I can not recommend this little hideaway enough. It’s simply perfection.

This place is so cozy! We got sick after our cruise and recovered at this little home. You have everything you need plus a great view. Super child friendly too!

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!

Linda is such a gracious hostess, and the cottage is so bright and homey. It was a delightful stay!

I had a wonderful stay at Cheree’s place! I brought my dog along and it was perfect for us both; spacious interior and yard, nicely decorated, spotless, beautiful kitchen. I really could not have asked for better. Cheree even left a lovely gift basket and handwritten note which was so thoughtful! The bed was so comfy, I slept really well my entire stay. The house is accessible to grocery stores, parks and freeways. Our favorite was Titlow beach. I hope to visit again!

Lisa was a very generous host which I had no issues with communicating or trying to get to the airbnb. I really love the book where she leaves for guests to write in to share their experience and life which was a pleasure to read. The house instruction/manual was very clear and resourceful which was awesome because the place offered a lot of amenities and comfort. The place was very nice and it is definitely a family type style which I recommend to families who are looking for a place to stay for the night or weekend! Thanks again Lisa for the stay!

This home is located in one of the most beautiful locations -- gorgeous Harstine Island! The home is decked out (not to mention the wrap around deck is amazing!), spacious and as comfy as home in a fabulous beach community with trails for hiking through the old growth forest and beaches with firepits and excellent beachcombing. We absolutely give this property 5 stars and we'd give 6 if we could.

The home is gorgeous. So tranquil and peaceful -- my family took a week-long vacation on Vashon and Brita's was the perfect jumping-off point. The location is super private, the home architecture is extraordinary, and the backyard garden is expansive. If you're looking for a great place to rest and recharge, this is it. There is a lot of great dishware, artistic elements in the home, and incredible views throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

Great place. The location was perfect for us. Extremely walkable. No issues at all. I would definitely stay here again!

The pictures did not show how beautiful the place is, and how big the place is, I would just add few items here and there and it would be great for those looking for an antique house on a farm to spend few days at and get away from our busy life. The pool was great, but I wish it was cleaner and warmer if possible. There was no hair dryer in any of the bathrooms. If there was foil, parchment paper in the kitchen would be nice. Anything else looked fantastic and perfect for my two day vacation. Thanks to you, Misti.

Amazing views and clean place. We enjoyed our stay here!!

The place was perfect for our vacation stay in Seattle! Excellent central location for walking to the most commonly visited tourist spots. We took full advantage of the courtyard and gym. My son said he slept "way better" on the pull-out sofa than he did in our earlier hotel stay. The place was clean and comfortable. Being met and provided instructions at check-in was helpful and checkout was a breeze.

We had a wonderful time. Had such amazing views. We loved the outside area. The bed was soft just as we like! So many amazing things to explore on the island. We had a memorable stay!

Gayle was very quick to respond. Her condo is in a secure building. It was spotless. Great location - walkable to all attractions. She let us drop off our luggage prior to check in ( we were coming straight from Alaska Cruise). She called us as soon as the unit was clean and told us we could return. I would stay at Gayles Place again.
