Cute Cottage Close To Town and Bike Trails
This cute country cottage is located on Shincke Road in Olympia, Washington. The cottage is located only a few miles from town, but it is in a beautiful rural location with amazing access to the Chehalis Western Trail.
If you are seeking access to women's healthcare options, we have a special rate for you. Please text "healthcare" to 3608193793 prior to making your booking, and we'll help you out.
The 22 mile Chehalis Western Trail runs north-south through Thurston County and connects to the Yelm-Tenino Trail.
Be sure to bring your walking/running shoes or your bikes.
This cottage is a great place to stay when in town for events held at the Capitol, St. Martin's University or the Evergreen State College.
The cottage is clean and bright with a full kitchen, bathroom, vaulted ceilings, and skylights. There is a king sized bed and a couch that folds into a twin bed.
There is easy pull through parking with room for a trailer or RV.

About the host
Hosted by Peter and Bonnie
Our family loves living in Olympia. This is where I was born and the majority of my family resides here. We returned to Olympia after spending time teaching overseas and in Alaska. It is a wonderful place to call home.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property in 2009. We live on the same parcel as the cottage in a large white 90 year old farm house. We knew this property was for us because of its rural, but close to town location.
What makes this property unique
We love the access we have to the Chehalis Western Trail and the pastoral views.
