The Space:

Welcome to our spacious and comfortable 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home in Olympia, WA, complete with an added den for extra comfort and convenience. As you enter the front door, you'll be greeted by a large living room with vaulted ceilings, known as the Mt. Rainier room, providing an airy and open atmosphere perfect for relaxing after a long day.

The fully equipped kitchen, adjacent to the living room, has everything you need to prepare delicious meals or bake your favorite dessert. A list of additional items, like a Vitamix, KitchenAid, and numerous other kitchen gadgets, is available upon request. A half bathroom off the kitchen doubles as a laundry room, complete with a washer and dryer.

Off the kitchen, you'll find the cozy den, themed after the historic Olympia Beer Company, and aptly named the Oly room. This inviting space features a Lazy Boy, a bean bag chair, and a 42" Roku Smart TV, providing a comfortable atmosphere to relax, read, or enjoy your favorite movie or show. The futon also provides additional sleeping space for guests.

Upstairs, the North Cascades room features a comfortable queen-size bed and a twin bed, making it ideal for families or friends traveling together. The master bedroom, the ONP room (short for Olympic National Park), boasts a cozy memory foam queen mattress and an adjustable workstation desk for guests who need to work during their stay.

Both bedrooms come with ample closet space, allowing guests to unpack and feel at home during their stay. A full bathroom with a shower and bathtub is located upstairs, adjacent to the bedrooms.

Our home is located in the peaceful Indian Creek neighborhood, known for its tranquility and close proximity to the beautiful Woodland Creek Trail.
This popular trail offers a scenic and relaxing outdoor activity for all ages and skill levels.

We are less than two and a half miles from the state capitol building and campus, as well as all the attractions that downtown Olympia has to offer, including access to Puget Sound along Percival Landing Park, restaurants, shops, and much more.

We take pride in providing our guests with a clean and comfortable home away from home, and we look forward to hosting you during your stay in Olympia, WA!

Guest Access:

We would like our guests to be aware that the house behind their accommodation is occupied by their hosts. Although the units are attached, rest assured that your space is 100% private with no shared areas. The entire front and side yards are exclusively yours to enjoy during your stay! Our goal is to make your visit as comfortable and relaxing as possible while respecting your privacy.

Other Things to Note:

We are delighted to welcome up to 2 well-behaved dogs at our dog-friendly home. Please note that no other animals are allowed without specific host approval. Dogs should not be left alone at any time unless they are crate trained and can remain inside the crate without causing noise disturbances. We do charge a small pet fee to cover the cost of additional cleaning; however, this fee is not meant to cover any damage caused by guests' dogs. In the event of any damage, a separate charge will be applied to cover the cost of repairing or replacing the affected items.

Speaking of pets, we have three lovable furry friends of our own. Amber Rose is an incredibly affectionate chocolate lab, and you might see us strolling by during our evening walks. Khaleesi (also known as Chica) and Reny are our adorable long-haired teacup chihuahuas. You probably won't see them, as they're not fans of going on walks. Rest assured, our pets are well-behaved and won't interfere with your stay, but do feel free to give Amber Rose a friendly pat if you happen to cross paths!

Family Reunion

The cottage was perfect for us and our two dogs. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Loved sitting on the porch, even with the rain, wrapped in a blanket and a cup of coffee, it was heaven since I live in the desert. I would definitely recommend this rental to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful 4 days.

Wonderful Place To Stay

We enjoyed our week at the Trail House. It was cozy, clean and the well-equipped. The hosts have an online brochure that helped us discover places around town, which was very helpful. The neighborhood was nice for evening walks and the beds were comfy. Thank you, will visit again!

One of the better ones

I stay with my family in vacation rentals often. This one is particularly good. Aside from the usual expectations, comfy beds, clean, nice layout - it was very generously supplied with anything we could possibly need. And I appreciated the labels on the drawers in the kitchen. The neighborhood also checks out. Its a nice residential neighborhood that is close to most of what you might want to do in Olympia. A great stay.

Extremely well run house not too far from capitol/downtown

This is one of those VRBO houses that should be an example for how to do it. Every drawer was labeled, everything was considered. Also extremely child and dog friendly with a pack-and-play, kids dishes, dog supplies, and a fully fenced yard. If you have both a child and a dog as we do then this is your house :-)

Home in Olympia

The Trail House was perfect for our family reunion and stay. Our adult child just relocated to Olympia and this will be our home there when our family visits her. Located in a quiet neighborhood near the Woodland Trail, the home has everything you need from clean and comfortable sheets and towels to main staples (laundry detergent, coffee, oils and spices). Everything you need is within a 7 to 10 minute drive (farmers market, downtown Olympia, Trader Joe’s ) and within an hour or so from Olympic National Park (Staircase Trailhead) and 15 minutes from the trails at Evergreen State University. Jen and Jordan live at the rear of the property and could not have been more friendly, responsive and welcoming while still giving us privacy and space. We are looking forward to returning to the Trail House.

Cozy retreat

This was a great place for our family to stay while celebrating a milestone birthday with local family. Didn’t realize the A/C wasn’t central air going in, but the separate air conditioners kept everything cool on a very hot weekend. Close to the grocery and a nice vibe.

Great house, great communication, dog and family friendly!

We had a great experience at this home. The owners were prompt to help find solutions if there was a minor problem, and it is close to everything within 10 minutes of a drive. We had one issue, the garbages inside were not taken out, but they helped resolve it quickly. There isn’t much of a place to walk the dog right here - but it’s a short drive to good sidewalk places.

Excellent hosts.

There was a small issue with checking in. But the host went above and beyond to help make our stay an excellent experience. The house was very comfortable and clean. It was just 3 of us that stayed there but a larger group would also be comfortable. I couldnt find the towels (my fault didnt look in the closet.) But they brought more over right away and helped with any other concerns we hand and checked to make sure we happy and to see if everything else was good. It was my first booking in VRBO and I am impressed so far. Thanks again Jennifer and Jordan! Host

Lovely clean home with little extras

We stayed here for 8 days in June. The property is beautifully kept and the owners have thought of so many things (like a cooler backpack for picnics and filtered water). The parking and access was great. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The owner answered our questions promptly. The only drawbacks, I hesitate to mention as they may well be no problem at all for most, but we had two young grandchildren visit quite often and I was always nervous of the steep stairs and the fact that the only places to sit and eat were on high stools. As I say, not a problem for most people but feel I should mention for families.On the other hand, there were games available both inside and outside which we used and were fun to have. I would stay here again.

You will be watched

So the hosts either live in a back part of the house that is locked off or they live in the house behind it. But they are definitely there and watching what you are doing so it’s not private. I had a couple friends stop by to say hi for like half an hour and I know they got weird looks going into the house and I was contacted with them wanting to know why there were so many vehicles in the driveway (both of these things are how I know they are on the property). And to clarify there is nothing wrong with that I just wouldn’t have booked had I known, it just feels a lot less relaxing. And I don’t think it was clarified in the ad that they would be there observing.
