Love this house so much! The sunrise view is amazing and worth being up for! The spacious open floor plan is wonderful, the bed is super comfortable, the water view deck is expansive and inviting, the kitchen has top tier cookware and amble counter space. Being so close to the water is magical, we love it here. Hope to be back again soon!
Beautiful, comfortable property with fabulous views. We even saw Mt Ranier! Hosts very accommodating and quickly repaired a broken table for us. Thank you Wendy and Jim for a wonderful stay. Weâll be back.
Wendy and Jim were very gracious offering us a tour on their power boat sharing information about local life. Excellent choice of kayaks. Our stay experience has exceeded our expectations. There is no better place to observe a change between low and high tides. Accomodations were very convenient with thoughtful touches.
This is a lovely property in every respect. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the water, the kitchen is efficient and well equipped, the home is extremely clean, the location is beautiful, and we never wanted to leave. It's perfect for a couple. We appreciated the ease of entry, and the communication with our host was timely and cordial. We highly recommend a stay here and would go back in a heartbeat.
I was looking for a quiet space near the water to have my anniversary at. Everything about the space was perfect. It's tucked just far enough away to be peaceful while also being close enough to town for convenience. The interior is put together nicely, the bed is comfortable. There are enough pots and pans for cooking. We were able to take advantage of the kayaking. Would highly recommend this space.
The property is truly amazing. The views from the living room and deck are stunning. The wildlife walking through the yard made it feel like we were in a nature preserve. Mt. Rainer showed itself and it was absolutely incredible. This was a perfect location and set-up. We have family very close so we will definitely be back.
This place is amazing! Itâs well set up with every detail handled. itâs beautiful, inside and out. The view is gorgeous. Seals swam by as we kayaked in the inlet out front. Wendy was so helpful and easy to reach. She even picked up some groceries since we were coming in late. I canât wait to stay here again!
If you plan to visit the Olympia area, this is where you want to stay. We had a wonderful 4-night stay in Wendy's place. Settled on the shoreline of the Eld Inlet, you can't help but relax on the large deck or indoor window seat, both overlooking the water. Spacious, updated with every convenience, and immaculately clean, the cottage also maintains its classic charm. Check-in and out were easy, thanks to clear communication. We will definitely stay here again.
Gorgeous views from the expansive deck. The kayaks allowed for up close encounters with the seals and sea lions. This small little cottage feels so big with all the windows and open floor plan. And the icing on the cake and critical part of a vacationâŠa super comfortable bed!
The pictures or description do not do this place justice.
Here's why my husband and I loved our stay:
âą The view is amazing from everywhere in the house.
âą Kayaking is incredible.
âą It's unbelievably quiet.
âą Seals pop their heads up to say hello.
âą Deer run across the lawn
âą Cooking: The place has everything you need including high quality cookware, a good selection of spices, staples like olive oil, sugar, enough coffee for your first couple mornings, and a collection of other stuff recently renters didnât finish.
âą Staples: We were there for ten days and didnât have to buy anything but paper towels. If you save your shopping bags, you wonât need to buy any extra trash bags.
âą Sleeping: The bed and pillows are wonderful. We donât like duvets, but there are lots of blanket alternatives.
âą Food Shopping: 5 minsâŠsmall store with most of what you really need. Ten minutes, more small store stuff. Twenty mins, Trader Joeâs or Safeway.
âą Activities: Just being. If you need more, visit the farmers market or hike on a nearby trail.
âą FoodâŠgo to the Olympia fish market and buy fresh fish, or stay in town and spend $60 for dinner before you add adult beverages.
âą Hosts: extremely responsive but in no way visible.
Needless to say, we highly recommend this wonderful property!
Perfect, secluded property with the best view of Mt Rainier imaginable. We loved it and plan to come back next year. Host was awesome and non-intrusive.
The cottage was the perfect getaway for us. The views of the inlet and Mount Rainer were incredible. So quiet and peaceful. We saw a deer, bald eagles and otters. Great communication with the host.
We absolutely loved our stay here. The view is amazing! The house is perfect. Clean. Well stocked. Close enough to town, to go do things. We stayed for about a week to visit with our children. Loved just chilling and enjoying the sights. Canât wait to come.
