Wooded enclave close to it all

JeannieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Cassie's place is even more magical and beautiful than in the description. The entire stay was absolutely delightful. The guest suite was not only incredibly cosy but truly had the feeling of being amongst the trees! The unit was perfectly equipped and perfect in the quietness and privacy. My week there was serene and sublime, and I could have stayed forever ;-) Cassie was extremely kind, accommodating, and helpful. I recommended the place to my colleagues in the local area. They visited the unit before I checked out and plan to book it again for other visiting lecturers traveling to Olympia. I hope to come back some day with my partner!

Magical Puget Sound Beach Cottage+Kayaks+View!

CarolynRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Barb and Dick are wonderful hosts, so kind and friendly, giving a comfort level of being at home. The cottage is perfect and in a great location with a beautifully maintained yard of flowers, trees, bushes, a hammock, chairs, picnic table and a great view of Puget Sound with the tide going in and out. Loved the view and being able to walk on the beach and finding treasures. The breakfast was so nice seeing we got in later than planned, so we had something for the next morning. Absolutely fantastic all the way around and I highly recommend. We picked a good one and will definitely return. Thank you 😊Barb & Dick

Charming 1930s vintage duplex close to Downtown.

ChristineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I loved Anne and David’s vintage style apartment! The location was perfect, close to downtown and walking distance to anything one might want to enjoy. Upon arrival, entry was easy with a keypad. To my delight, fresh flowers were in each room. The place was extra clean and the kitchen was generously stocked with snacks, coffee, tea and even some eggs and butter in the fridge. There is modern heater units as well as air conditioning. The bathroom is stocked with toiletries and plenty of clean towels. I can’t wait to return and in fact have already booked my next stay here for July!

Great little house right at the end of the Olympia downtown area. walkable to a bunch of cool stuff. Good to be away from the more crowded areas and the house itself is really really cute. The interior is like staying in a ship.
