About this property

Woodsy Retreat has the trail to the temperate rain forest, and outdoor spa.

#WoodsyRetreat is a daylight walk-out suite- apartment- a prime example that nature's basic drive is not competition, as supposedly 'class' evolutionary theory maintains - its connection to our environment, home, where we choose to stay- staycation. You certainly understood this, with your play pool, hike, and soak! Woodsy Retreat is a private spa atmosphere that we keep enhancing.

Relaxing reunion.

I have never stayed at a VRBO property that gave me so much peace and quiet. The amenities were above par. One thing we noted was the amazing snacks and continental breakfast provided by the owner. We had gotten in late and had not eaten, so this was a welcome surprise. I would definitely prefer to stay here than anywhere I researched.

Lovely secluded peaceful place

My friend and I stayed here for two nights. It was very comfortable, clean and Danica had stocked it with loads of tempting treats as well as lots lovely things for breakfast. There were also more coffee and tea choices than I think I have ever seen in similar properties. The hot tub was a real delight and we enjoyed using it both nights. Unfortunately, we used all of our energy up walking around downtown Olympia and the Farmer's Market so didn't explore the lovely forest and beach behind the property. A good reason to return.

Mother/ Daughter trip

The property was amazing. The host had snacks next to the pool table. Also, there was a continental breakfast setup on the coffee bar along with cheeses and drinks in the refrigerator. There were plush robes and slippers to wear out to the hot tub, which was really nice since it was cool out. The trail out the backdoor to the state park trail was amazing. We had such an enjoyable time!

Peaceful spot in the forest

Such a sweet place surrounded by forest. Everything was clean and spotless. The kitchen was very well stocked and fun to cook in. The beds were so comfortable. We heard a Great Horned Owl in the trees one night and the frogs symphony.

Charming Intimate and beautiful.

Woodsy Retreat, was absolutely perfect for us. The owners really go above and beyond with the little details. I particularly enjoyed their little coffee station. So many choices and delights. It had all the convienence of home with a freling if camping outside. Sleeping with the windows open listening to the frogs and the the rain come down in very vomfortable beds gave us the ability to get some real needed dwep rest. Highly recommend Woodsy retreat for a small family or a couples get away

Danica and Phil were very communicative and welcoming hosts! A friend and I stayed at the Woodsy Retreat for two nights and it was a wonderful experience. From the fresh bread, to the continental breakfast, the coffee, it was all so appreciated and all the special touches made the space the perfect spot to stay.

Woodsy Retreat plus hot tub!

We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it to others! The outside hot tub was a big hit, very private, and located adjacent to the forest, which is right outside the entrance, and offered easy access to trails. Inside was very spacious, with an open floor plan and two couches in the main room for group conversation. The gas stove in the corner provided a warm ambience. The generous host left a variety of snacks and breaded treats. It's in a quiet, rural neighborhood, but feels like you are miles away from civilization. Great getaway!
