beautiful setting

we so appreciated the communication prior to arrival by our host. Seamless checking in and out. The view was fabulous, and the cottage is flanked by lovely neighbors. The rooms are small, but it was just fine for my husband and I and our two dogs.

Wonderful stay on the water, Olympia, Washington

We had a wonderful weeklong stay in the cottage on the water in Olympia. It was conveniently located and had all of the amenities that we needed for Comfort. The owners were delightful to deal with. We actually had a wonderful coffee with them and got to meet Patricia and Dana personally.

Beautiful and relaxing!

We stayed at this cozy beach house while waiting for our new house to close. Our kids (3 & 7) loved the little playset and the beach and spent most of the week outside. It was great! Communication with the host when a concern popped up was excellent and they promptly responded and handled the situation. We really enjoyed our stay and the view was amazing. If you want to relax and get away for a bit, this is the spot for you!

What a View!

Due to a very last minute change in our lodging plans (beyond our control)for the Thanksgiving week, we had to scramble and find a place within budget, location, and allowed our dog. Luck was on our side when we came across this rustic waterfront cabin! What a gem! It was perfect for our needs and we were still able to host Thanksgiving dinner. We had the pleasure of meeting a very friendly neighbor, fish nearby and just take in the amazing scenery. Check-in was very easy and communication with our host, Patricia was smooth. She ensured we had the little things that made our stay even more comfortable. Being that this was the first Thanksgiving in three years that our active duty USAF son could be with us, we wanted it to be special in one of his favorite areas of the country. We would definitely recommend staying at this cozy getaway!

Perfect weekend

Just had the most wonderful weekend at this cozy cottage. The host was very generous to provide fruits, a snack, & essential items for coffee. We had a late night arrival so this generosity was very much appreciated for our early wake up the next morning. The property is older but appears well maintained. I enjoyed being greeted by the nostalgic cabin smell that reminded me of my childhood family getaways. Lots of items provided to utilize while enjoying time on the property such as binoculars, beach towels, board games, and kayaks. Beds were comfortable, water hot, towels and linens well stocked, & many pots/pans/baking dishes in the kitchen. Loved the large windows and large decently shaded porch with bbq and propane fire pit to enjoy the view. Bird feeders brought many birds to the porch and a seal visited near the beach. There were more stairs than expected to get down to the beach (spiral style staircase). Less mobile individuals may have a hard time, like my mum did, however there were still many things for her to enjoy next to the cottage such as the porch, hammock, and a swing. Will likely return to enjoy this wonderful property again.

Perfect spot on the water!

Our family truly enjoyed staying at this cozy mid-century cabin right on the water. The view is incomparable. The neighborhood is quiet. It was great to have use of the kayaks, and the location is perfect for exploring the Olympic peninsula or shopping and other activities in the Olympia area. The host is well prepared for guests, readily available by phone or e-mail, and went above and beyond to leave us hospitality gifts. We had just the break we needed and felt very welcome!

Scenic and Serene

What a view!! The cabin opens up to a stunning view of Puget Sound. The quiet serenity of this property is first and foremost. We spent time just sitting out and relaxing while enjoying the breathtaking view. The cabin was well equipped and both the twin and the queen beds were very comfortable. The wildlife was entertaining and kayaking with the seal we named Jeffie was a treat. Our Yorkie was welcomed to stay with us which was important in our rental decision. The property manager was very accommodating and always available to answer any questions. We want to stay here next time when we travel to this area.

Peaceful and enjoyable

Small cottage set on side of a hill overlooking the inlet. Peaceful setting in a close nit neighborhood. Saw lots of different wildlife, native birds on the inlet. It was very interesting that the tide changes and how different the inlet looks at low tide. If you are an older adult with mobility issues, not a good choice for getting down to the bulkhead to the water due to sloping and stairs. But does have a great view from the deck and below out to the inlet and surrounding mountains.

Visiting our Evergreen State College Student

We loved the location of the property and the beautiful views of the sound. We were there visiting our daughter who is a student at The Evergreen State College which is just on the other side of the bay. There are kayaks to use during your stay and if the weather was better we would have rowed across to the beach at the college campus. If is to chilly to enjoy the outdoors you can relax with a book or a puzzle or use the fire pit. They left all the items for us to make smores around the fire pit which we fully enjoyed. The house had everything you need while on vacation, the kitchen was well equipped and there was a bowl of oranges and a few snacks and beverages when we arrived. Stop by the great drive thru coffee stand down the road and go 1 exit over for a wonderful meal at the Shipwreck Café. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Patricia's beach cottage and we will defiantly come back for another visit.

City Escape

This place is a great setting for a peaceful stay away from the hullabaloo of city life (although it's still close enough to access if you need it). If you want all the modern amenities of a modern vacation rental, this place is not for you. If you are seeking the calm respite of nature in a quiet historic cottage, then you won't be disappointed. This place has everything you need with the very basic upgrades keeping it simple so you can enjoy the wonders of the nature that surrounds you. Patricia makes it an easy, carefree and enjoyable stay. We will return again and again!

5 Stars for Gorgeous Waterside Cottage

We adored staying at this cottage on the water. Everything was so comfortable, the instructions from Patricia were easy to follow, and we loved being right on the water. We saw wildlife, we took the kayaks out for a short paddle on the smooth water of the sound, we got cozy in the rain with the provided blankets and played Scrabble. Patricia gifted us with the makings for S'mores and that was an absolute delight. We highly recommend and would certainly stay again.
