Orca whales, harbor seals, porpoises, and bald eagles are all common visitors in this beautiful high bank waterfront backyard along Colvos Passage in the quiet community of Gig Harbor, Washington!

Everything was perfect. We were visiting to explore the Gig Harbor area and Shannon provided a bunch of great recommendations (food, attractions, even a realtor). The guest home is excellent and we enjoyed several afternoons down by the waterfront with some wine. The weather was beautiful and Shannon and Lorne were terrific!

Beautiful location - European ambience

We just completed a 3 day stay and were delighted about every aspect of the place. The warm message and bottle of wine to greet us, the charming decor, the beautifully appointed rooms and the exquisite gardens made it a perfect 10 VRBO experience. Shannon and Lorne have graciously opened part of their lovely home and gardens and we are thankful for that!

Amazing Gig Harbor getaway

My son and I came stay a couple of days in Gig Harbor and were so very lucky to rent this property. One of the most amazing rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The owners were also very accommodating by offering an additional air mattress for my son. Will definitely be looking forward to staying here again if they will have us.
