Romantic Private & Detatched Guest Home behind the gates of a Chateau on the Sea

Your romantic waterfront getaway awaits you in this gorgeous private guest home on one of the most impressive waterfront properties in Washington. Wake up in your king-sized memory foam bed to golden sunrises over the Puget Sound. This guesthouse is detached from the main home and tucked away behind a gated French Chateau style estate in a quiet picturesque neighborhood. One mile from the Harbor and downtown shops, restaurants and breweries.

Guest home has a full-sized kitchen complete with everything you need to make a great cup of coffee or romantic dinner. Comfy living room area perfect for unwinding and snuggling in with a good book or movie. Stunning Italian marble bathroom with double vanity, walk-in-shower and full-sized washer and dryer. Home has 2 electric based wall heating units located in the living room and bedroom and a fireplace in the living room.

Meander around the meticulously kept gardens of the main home and don't forget to catch some "Morning Therapy" by watching the stunning sunrises, complete with Mount Rainier, Vashon Island and Point Defiance Views. 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!

*this is high bank waterfront and there are no stairs down to water.

Winter Getaway
We arrived just after Christmas for a short get away. It was a wonderful, rejuvenating few days. The chateau is beautiful, comfy and well appointed. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is lovely. Shannon and Loren made us feel very welcomed, were flexible and were available when we needed them. Can't wait to come back in the summer months. Definitely happy we chose to stay there and you will be too!

Amazing find
What a wonderful place to rejuvenate. It’s quiet, serene, and beautiful. The chateau is in a quiet neighborhood with access to amazing shopping/restaurants within a short walking distance along the harbor. The host, Shannon, is super personable and lovely. I wasn’t too disappointed when our show was rescheduled since it will give us another opportunity to enjoy another stay.
