MANAGED BY NINA DREYER Guest Review: "The Bee Keeper s Cottage is simply ADORABLE, located in a beautiful backyard with private access. Has all the amenities one would need; also very comfortable for two people. Not too far to shopping center. Judy D." $35 Cleaning Fee $250 Refundable Deposit The Beekeeper s Cottage is a short term/vacation rental. Located beside the main home the beekeeper s cottage has friendly, happy bees to right of driveway that provide fresh honey. We have 2 sweet white small ducks that enjoy the back-yard pond/water-fall area. We also have a 12-year old black manx kitty names Gideon, and a small indoor dog named Daisy plus a sweet bunny named Newman. In summer we have a beautiful garden and a wonderful back-yard and relaxing hammock. The cottage is decorated in a beekeepers style, with an antique white iron bed with a new mattress. A small kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower. This property is also ideal for traveling professionals on an out of state project, locals needing a residence while their home is under construction, traveling nurses, graduate college students, people moving into the state and looking for a place to stay while they house shop. \* Private entrance, cottage to side of main home on property \* Cottage opens to beautifully kept garden \* 1 bedroom/1 bath. 175 square feet \* Hot tub-Reserve with owner \* Kitchenette: mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, barbecue upon request \* Wi-Fi available \* Home is part of the 2018 Garden Tour! \* W/D can be arranged as well as full size fridge for those on an extended stay \* Safe neighborhood in Gig Harbor, minutes to Tacoma This beekeeper s cottage is an easy drive to Tacoma, Bremerton, Seattle, Bellevue, Mt. Rainier and the rainforests of the Olympic Mountain range. But first make sure you partake in everything Gig Harbor and nearby areas have to offer. After you've strolled through the quaint downtown and shopped the boutiques and antique stores take your pick from any of the great restaurants and cafes. Seafood is always on the menu. From the ever popular Tides Tavern for casual waterfront dining to Anthony s where the views are as fabulous as the food. You won t be disappointed by the wide variety of culinary choices. Gig Harbor is surrounded by water so you can take your pick of activities. Go whale watching with Destiny Tours, check out the History Museum to learn about Gig Harbor s nautical past, pack a picnic and head to one of the many great state parks for a day of sun and sand. Paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops abound within blocks. Double check the address we are on 64th Ave but Google maps sometimes send people to 86th for some unknown reason. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95550000/95544500/95544498/4f3490a7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sound view retreat with trails, beach access, firepit, grill, scenic deck, & W/D Gig Harbor - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-22&endDate=2026-01-23&selected=95544498&PinnedHotelID=95544498&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32040000/32033900/32033840/e18bca36.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "The Red Door" 1 mile from downtown. 1 bedroom.

I am so glad that I stumbled upon this spot in Gig Harbor. It was such a perfect respite for the weekend, allowing us also to easily explore the Harbor as well as drive into Seattle and take a ferry to Bainbridge Island. We adored the cottage with all of the adorable touches. Nina was the most delightful host that felt like a friend. We loved getting to know all of their furry and feathered friends on the property. The welcome package with the sweet honey touches as well as the delicious coffee and beautiful mugs made for such nice slow mornings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I intend to return with my husband in the future. I highly recommend this gem in Gig Harbor. ##### Jacqueline S.

This was our first time renting a property where the host is also in residence and we were uncertain of how it would go; it turned out to be delightfully easy! Nina made us feel completely welcomed and at home, as did her adorable menagerie of sweet animals (hi River, we miss you already!!). Having the option to relax in the gorgeous backyard/garden or make the short drive to charming downtown Gig Harbor gave us the best of both worlds. We're so glad we found Beekeeper's Cottage and can't wait to go back again. ##### Andrea S.

Close enough to my events, but far away enough from the noises of being directly in town. It is comfortable with a modern cottage look and feel to it. The hot tub was a great bonus just outside the cottage and a part of their beautiful backyard garden space. The owners are wonderful people who obviously care about their guests and the accommodations they provide. Along with getting to know both Nina and Brent, I enjoyed my daily greeting with their beautiful fluffy dog and cats along with their pair of ducks. Everything was great! Thanks so much! ##### Jim & Karin S.

It's a little off-the-beaten track in a residential area about 12-15 minutes drive from Gig Harbor but the second you walk through the back gate you feel the stress drain from your shoulders. The grounds are kept immaculately and we loved sitting on the porch of the cottage with a glass of wine taking in the surroundings. The cottage is tiny but adorable and kept spotlessly clean. If you're looking for a place to clear your head and get out of the rat-race for a while this cottage is for you. ##### Peter C.

Upon arriving, Nina greeted me, introducing herself and showing me amenities of the property. The Beehive Cottage is adorable. Professionally decorated and with all the extras of a five star room. Like cooking appliances, dishware, bottle of wine, fresh honey, toilet paper with handfolded flowers decorating every roll. Plus a week of delicious snacks. The yard had two quiet and clean ducks. Best of all was Nina and River's, her dog, mien of friendliness which greeted me every time I saw them. I travel alot, and the Beehive Cottage is the best place I have stayed at. ##### Candice R.

The hosts are gracious and helpful. The yard and flowers are vibrant colors and the trees are giants! Best of all I feel like I made friends that I will visit again. ##### Darlene Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near British Ironwork Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/British-Ironwork-Centre-Hotels.0-l553248635905801854-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Delhi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delhi-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d180000-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Barcelo Residences Dubai Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Barcelo-Residences-Dubai-Marina.h22561809.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Regina Adelaide](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garda-Hotels-Hotel-Regina-Adelaide.h3782565.Hotel-Information) > > [Citywest Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Citywest-Hotel.h520716.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Great Britain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Britain-Hotels.d553248623451644244.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Karma Salford Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Evesham-Hotels-Karma-Salford-Hall.h14798.Hotel-Information) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Bursa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Bursa-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d553248635458627805-tGayFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [GreeneKing Hotels in Leicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Greene-King.0-0-d7583--bGreeneKing.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [GBH Hotel-Apartamentos Posidonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-GBH-Aparthotel-Posidonia.h51932437.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Hartington Hall - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buxton-Hotels-YHA-Hartington-Hall-Hostel.h11892110.Hotel-Information) > > [GLOBALSTAY Holiday Homes - Sarai Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Simply-ComfortLuxury-Sarai-Apartments.h42074031.Hotel-Information) > > [Alamo Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Alamo-Guest-House.h15740276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Kensal Green Cemetery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kensal-Green-Cemetery-Hotels.0-l6165879-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Wheatlands Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Wheatlands-Lodge-Hotel.h8183878.Hotel-Information) > > [Gillieru Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Pauls-Bay-Hotels-Gillieru-Harbour-Hotel.h2205941.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Denver](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Downtown-Denver-Denver-Hotels.0-n800030-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [KLM Darlington (MME) to Schiphol (AMS) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/klm-from-teesside-intl-to-schiphol/kl/mme/ams) > > [Flights from Barclay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/553248634998993874/flights-from-barclay) > > [Vueling Airlines El Prat de Llobregat (BCN) to Gatwick (LGW) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/vueling-airlines-from-barcelona-intl-to-gatwick/vy/bcn/lgw) ### Packages > [Braies Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Braies.d6306630.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Westgate Gardens and Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Westgate-Gardens-And-Towers-Canterbury.d6091957.Attraction) > > [Black Forest Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Black-Forest.d6034799.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Pianillo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pianillo.dx553248635149838614) ---
