Best waterfront cottage near Olympia

Perfect, secluded property with the best view of Mt Rainier imaginable. We loved it and plan to come back next year. Host was awesome and non-intrusive.

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.

Comfort with a view

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!

An incredible house in an incredible place!

The pictures or description do not do this place justice. Here's why my husband and I loved our stay: • The view is amazing from everywhere in the house. • Kayaking is incredible. • It's unbelievably quiet. • Seals pop their heads up to say hello. • Deer run across the lawn • Cooking: The place has everything you need including high quality cookware, a good selection of spices, staples like olive oil, sugar, enough coffee for your first couple mornings, and a collection of other stuff recently renters didn’t finish. • Staples: We were there for ten days and didn’t have to buy anything but paper towels. If you save your shopping bags, you won’t need to buy any extra trash bags. • Sleeping: The bed and pillows are wonderful. We don’t like duvets, but there are lots of blanket alternatives. • Food Shopping: 5 mins…small store with most of what you really need. Ten minutes, more small store stuff. Twenty mins, Trader Joe’s or Safeway. • Activities: Just being. If you need more, visit the farmers market or hike on a nearby trail. • Food…go to the Olympia fish market and buy fresh fish, or stay in town and spend $60 for dinner before you add adult beverages. • Hosts: extremely responsive but in no way visible. Needless to say, we highly recommend this wonderful property!

We absolutely loved our stay and would happily return. There was something magical about waking up each morning to the serene lake view, listening to the birds sing, and hearing the soft wind whisper through the towering pine trees. It was peaceful, relaxing, and exactly the escape we were looking for.

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.

Outstanding stay in Olympia

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

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.

Just Perfect

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.
