This was my second stay at this wonderful cottage, beautiful views, everything you need, and Wendy the host is amazing! I will definitely stay there again in the future.
The place was perfect. We had a wonderful stay over valentines and it was so cozy and relaxing. It has everything you could need and was the perfect size for me and my partner. We would 100% come back and highly recommend. Secluded and quiet. The property is gorgeous. We loved it.
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. We’ll be back.

It is always a pleasure to host such gracious guests!! We look forward to your return visit!
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!
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.
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.
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.

It was such a pleasure hosting you!! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for leaving our home in great shape!
This place is amazing! It’s well set up with every detail handled. it’s 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 can’t 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.

It was a pleasure to host you! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay.
This place was well described in the listing, clean, charming and beautiful setting. The attentiveness of the family was outstanding. It is a strong 25 min drive to Olympia so best for those wanting solicitude and can plan ahead for food, etc. We hope to stay here again

It was such a pleasure hosting you, Michelle!
I wanted to clarify for future guests: There is a mini mart just 1.5 miles from our home, & another little market just 6 miles. Haggen Grocery Store is 12 miles, 17 minutes away. My favorite seafood restaurant, in downtown Olympia, is 17 miles, 23 minutes from our home. This is definitely a destination home. It's all about enjoying a respite from the busyness of life.
We look forward to your return visit Michelle!
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 vacation…a super comfortable bed!
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. Can’t wait to come.
