READ ALL before inquiring.

Stunning in-law house. Massive! (1682 sq ft) Guests must be friendly and communicative. I'm a Super Host on another platform, so my way works for me and for my (carefully selected) guests!**

Private, quiet, yet walking distance (1.5 mi.) to downtown. Peaceful! Views of the trees and organic gardens in the back yard, which you share with the owner. Private garage & entrance; large library, board games, craft supplies, yoga mats (plenty of room), even an easel! Full-size new washer/dryer, a nice large kitchen (including a brand new Instant Pot (does pressure cooking and lots of other great cooking functions) and Instant Ace hot and cold blender), two induction burners, a convection oven and a microwave, all for your exclusive use!

No pets, no children under 6. Non-negotiable. There are hard floors downstairs, as well as breakables, and the bedroom with the Tempur-Pedic bed is as far away from the room you'd want to use for children as it could be. Pets are also non-negotiable, sorry!

2 Large Bedrooms: King-size Tempur-Pedic bed upstairs and 2 twin beds downstairs..

Elegant and spacious, yet cozy!

Fall & Winter 22/23: Due to exposure concerns, no extra visitors are allowed unless you've gotten clearance first with me - at the time of booking. Sorry!

Your Orientation / Meet and Greet will occur several days before you arrive - in a Zoom meeting - so keep up with your emails at daily in the week before your arrival so that we can schedule it together All renters 12 and over are required to attend. :~] This in advance meeting helps me to customize the space to best suit you!

**To be considered for a stay, tell me who your party consists of and what brings you to Olympia.

The space
This is a perfect spot to relax and unwind, a peaceful place to relax, or to work - or from which to enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Northwest! A healing space, for sure! Come, writers! Dancers, gardeners, yoga practitioners, and those in need of a creative or healing retreat, you are in for a treat!

You're in close proximity to the culture of Olympia's downtown, with its art walks, theaters, and the political hub that is the capitol of our state, though you'd never know it when you're here. A gorgeous 2-block park right on the corner offers basketball and tennis - and I have 2 rackets, tennis balls and a basketball for your use. A large grocery store and a popular, unique fast food restaurant are both a few blocks away, as are spas, a juice bar, and a bicycle shop. It's super nice to have a park nearby for getting out for a walk! And it's a great neighborhood to walk in.

Garage parking just for you, as well as easy street parking for an additional car if needed. Note: Though the garage is spacious, the angle of access is awkward, making it best for smaller rigs - SUVs and trucks are usually more comfortable parking out front, where I reserve a spot behind my car for guests.

Bedding: Super comfortable King-size Tempur-Pedic Mattress upstairs and two comfy twin beds in the huge downstairs bedroom.

There's a dedicated office area and plenty of room for your paperwork, if you need it, and high speed internet for those of you who will be working from home while you're here.

As we share a wall (my kitchen/dining/living area on my side, the stairs between your 2 floors for you) as well as a driveway and yard -

- it's important to me to feel that I know who is sharing my place with me. So - this wonderful space is perfect for those who are open and friendly with the host. We'll be communicative, neighborly. :~] That's an essential house rule.

It's just awkward, otherwise! I'm friendly, helpful, and very respectful of your privacy. Don't want to have an unfriendly or standoffish neighbor for a month or more! There are loads of short term rentals where you never need (or get to) interact with your host. Rent there, if that's your preference! Otherwise, let me know who you all are and what brings you to "Oly". :~]

I prefer to only book 3 - 4 months in advance, though that is not an option available for me to select here on VRBO. As we all know, we have no way of knowing what we'll be dealing with around the corner! :~]
