    Hilltop Haven is in an excellent location for easy access to great coffee shops, parks, and restaurants. The room was comfortable and the added bonus of being able to cook was cost-saving and homey.

    Je suis venue pour une conférence. Honnêtement, j'ai eu une belle expérience. La procédure pour le check-in n'était pas compliquée. C'était une maison qui avait plusieurs étages. Moi, j'étais située au sous-sol. Chaque étage avait une cuisine...

Private room in a vintage 1920's classic home. Enjoy easy access to everything from this centrally located home in the heart of Tacoma. Private, secured room with an abundance of shared space, 2 kitchens and much more. This newly remodeled home faces east across from the Bezos Academy and Edna Travis Park. Enjoy the sunrise above the Cascade Mountains from the front porch. A mile from the Tacoma Dome, Tacoma Waterfront, Restaurants, Museums, Medical District and so much more! Quiet, peaceful and perfect for a short stay.
Hi there! I’m a long-time Pacific Northwest resident, originally born in Texas, who grew up just north of Tacoma and raised my family in the beautiful NE Tacoma/Browns Point area. With two Bachelor of Science degrees in Molecular Biology and Neural Psychology from the University of Washington, my journey took an exciting turn when I discovered my passion for real estate after getting married. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built a career in mortgage lending, commercial lending, real estate sales, and home remodeling. My true love, though, lies in revitalizing older homes and giving them a fresh lease on life. There’s something magical about blending the charm of the past with the comforts of the present. One of the greatest joys of hosting is meeting incredible people from all walks of life. I cherish the opportunity to connect with guests from diverse cultural, educational, and ethnic backgrounds. Every interaction is a chance to learn, share stories, and create lasting memories. I’m so grateful for this journey and the wonderful friendships that grow along the way. I look forward to welcoming you to our space and helping you feel right at home during your stay!
The hilltop was named for its location nestled atop a scenic bluff overlooking Commencement Bay and the Port of Tacoma, Hilltop is a vibrant neighborhood brimming with history, culture, and connectivity. Perfectly positioned for travelers, this area offers proximity to local landmarks like the historic Tacoma Public Library main branch, Bates Technical College, and the Evergreen State College Tacoma campus. For a touch of elegance, Hilltop is just steps away from the charming and upscale Stadium District. With seamless transportation options, the T Line streetcar glides through Hilltop along Martin Luther King Jr. Way from 19th St, linking the neighborhood to Downtown Tacoma and the Stadium District. This recent extension, opened in September 2023, makes exploring Tacoma's gems easier than ever. Whether you’re here for business, education, or leisure, Hilltop offers the perfect mix of convenience and character. Book your stay in our cozy short-term rentals and experience the best of Tacoma at your doorstep!
