Cute, clean, and quiet
This house was so cute. It is in a nice neighborhood. It’s clean, quiet, the beds are comfortable. Everything was great. Only one very small complaint, the kitchen is not stocked with any spices, or staples, but we weren’t staying long.

The house is lovely; everything was clean and clearly marked for use. The beds were very comfortable . We had a 12 and 14 year old with us who absolutely loved the upstairs loft. The property and the neighborhood were beautiful. Thank you !

Stay at Tacoma House
The property was spacious, clean and comfortable and being an old house it had it's delightful quirks. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful and it was nice sitting on the porch and relaxing. It's close to many restaurants with some in walking distance. The only drawback is that the stairs in the basement (where the washer & dryer are located) and the backyard are steep and uneven so you need to be careful walking down them.

Very cute house in a great location, not great for kids
We really loved this house and the location. I am originally from Tacoma and it is tough to beat this location and these gorgeous craftsman houses. A few cons: We had our 2.5 and 5 year old with us and there were no conveniences for them (pack and play, high chair, reusable plastic cups/plates, etc). I loved this property as an adult and think maybe it’d be better suited for families with older kids. There was no water filtration system like a Brita or filter on the fridge so we had to buy endless bottles of water during our stay because the tap water didn’t taste great (this obviously isn’t the most environmentally-friendly option). I shared some feedback about some challenges that we had with the garbage disposal and didn’t find the response to be very friendly. Overall, the communication was satisfactory. We enjoyed our stay—Nice house, great location, just a few items that could have made it a 5 star review.

Very stingy with supplies. Otherwise, great location, cleanliness and communication.
For a family of 4, staying for 6 nights, we were given 6 Keurig K-cups and ONE extra roll of toilet paper (other supplies were also strictly rationed). I emailed twice to ask for extra supplies and both times was told, “we only supply you enough to get started.” I can understand purchasing your own coffee, but there a should be standard coffee maker if people don’t want to purchase expensive, wasteful K-cups. In my opinion, not supplying enough toilet paper is inexcusable. At the very least, there should be a warning that says this is your one and only roll of toilet paper. Our 7-year-old had to wait in the bathroom while I ran to the store to buy more toilet paper. Ridiculous.

This was a wonderful property. Great for a family with littles. Only one bathroom but for a few days that was fine with us. The washer and dryer in the basement was a great amenity to have! Would definitely stay there again!

Fantastic location! We were able to walk most anywhere we needed to go. Great proximity to restaurants and shopping. Safe residential neighborhood. Home was comfortable for a family of 4 to eat and hang out together. Only complaint was that the upstairs loft area was lacking headroom, it might work for children or small adults but the ceilings were too short for tall folks.

Family Reunion
Stayed two nights in the Proctor House on a quiet, tree lined street in North Tacoma. There is ample street parking and a big dining room which fit six adults comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and serving items and lots of dishes. Only complaint is they only have a Kurig which, for coffee snobs, means you need to head out to Valhalla, Anthem, Bluebeard, Olympia or Campfire. None of those local roasters have pods for this contraption. Great nook to plug in, and robust WiFi for working when I needed. This sensitivity remodeled bungalow had easy to use lighting and heating controls and a west-facing porch. The place was warm and welcoming through the full range of fall weather from bright sunny mornings to periods of dark downpours.

This is our third stay here - I guess that speaks for itself. The house is very clean, convenient to Proctor, Metro Market, and UPS. Owners are very responsive and answer any questions in a very timely manner. This is a a great place to stay in Proctor.
