 The Manor at South Bay is luxury in the country, offering a serene getaway for the discerning traveler. Equestrian property provides peaceful surroundings of lilacs, green rolling pastures, walking trails, and wildlife, all just 5 minutes from I-5.

The house sits high on a hill, offering excellent views of Mt. Rainier and surrounding grounds, landscaped and natural.

The Manor is the perfect place for families, since activities are many, and there is endless room for children (and adults) to play. The house itself provides several areas for visiting, eating, relaxing, meeting....so the children can be in one area being children, while the adults can be enjoying wine around the fireplace, in peace. 

Attention vacation rental owners! We love to trade straight across and we belong to Itravex, too!
