What a delightful place to stay. Large open property with lovely landscaping. The house has all of the amenities you need and the Host is very accessible. Will definitely stay again.
We all loved staying in this old farmhouse. It’s been updated tastefully and having a second kitchen upstairs really helps when you have some that like to get up early and are eager to get the coffee going!
This home is in the perfect location to explore Olympia and the cities surrounding it. The home is beautiful as well as the property. We will definitely return and stay here again. I loved the front porch and rocking chairs. Great way to start and end your day.
That is what our auntie said, when she and her daughter and grandkids stayed for a few days. They wanted to stay longer and spend more time at the Hands On children's museum, and relax in the beautiful and comfortable house we rented for them. The host was great, and readily available for questions.
Our family of 6 stayed comfortably at the Farmhouse. Host Karl was very responsive and accommodating. The property is very clean and had all we needed provided. Nicely kept outside. We stayed for a week and visited Mt. Rainier, Olympic and Seattle. Thanks again Karl
It was a joy to stay in this gem of a historic farmhouse. Every room is beautifully decorated and exceedingly comfortable. The garden and surrounding areas are quiet. Parking in the roundabout driveway was safe and secure. I look forward to visiting again.
Beautifully restored property. We came to experience the winter in Olympia and were even treated to some snow! We had a great time in Karl was a wonderful host.
House was old and charming. Great stay for the money. Laundry facilities were in the detached garage and shared with a separate house, which was surprising but worked. Also surprised to have a trailer home about 30 ft away but it didn’t look like anyone was staying there. Bathroom doors do not lock. I would stay there again
An old farmhouse updated out of the city noise. We met Karl on arrival. Friendly, responsive and competent, he said the washer was broken and would be replaced in the morning by 8:00. As promised, it was.
Clean and well kept we had everything we wanted in quiet comfort. We will return someday!.
My family enjoyed staying at this location while our home was under some minor construction during the week. This allowed us to keep tabs on our contractors progress (we live 15 minutes away); and get our rest in the evenings until our project was complete. The check-in and out process is simple and it was neat to stay in a 1906 two-story home too! We made the right decision booking this location and will do so again in the future when we have more projects! :-)
The farm house is so perfect. Like going back in time but with indoor plumbing.
We had such a wonderful experience that we are going to book again.
We have lots of extended family in the area we could have stayed with but it is so nice not to worry about invading their space. It makes a trip so much more enjoyable.
The youngsters found the birdbath so that became a project. Making sure the birds had water everyday.
For me it was the rocking chairs on the porch with coffee early in the morning. Full on sun.
The last evening we gathered around the firepit and just enjoyed each others company.
The house is wonderful, it's old and there are several older historical things in it. The gardens are stunning and I love the neighborhood. What really makes this property great though is the owner. Carl is super kind and friendly. This is one of the first homes I have stayed in where I didn't feel it was missing anything. I got injured during our trip and he even had a gel ice pack in the freezer. It's a fully stocked kitchen we were easily able to cook and clean up after ourselves. The bathrooms had shampoo conditioner and body wash we were also able to do laundry throughout the trip.
Be aware the doors have original doorknobs and they don't work very well so I wouldn't stay here with people you aren't comfortable if the bathroom door accidentally swings open lol
Also the floorboards are original but there are gaps in them so make sure you all have a pair of slippers. I thought socks would be fine and I ended up getting my toe caught on a crack and got injured. If I had slippers on this wouldn't be a problem.
Overall this is an amazing house that added a historical element to our trip and the house itself was a perfect place to show up and make a home for a while. Just be careful that your kids don't break anything (particularly rowdy kids should stay away) and that you bring slippers to protect your feet.
Should anything happen Carl is very attentive and accommodating which was refreshing. He has done an excellent job of anticipating needs and making us feel welcome.
Property is set in an area that gives you the feel of being out in the woods all alone. Great place to sit on the porch and enjoy nature with beautiful trees and wildlife in abundance
Well-appointed, comfortable home in a safe and central location. Had everything we needed. We enjoyed playing some of the games. Traveled to town for a family wedding with three adult children and one teen. There was plenty of space for us to spread out. Would have loved to spend some time outside on the porch, or walking the property, but it was unseasonably cold. I would not hesitate to come back or refer others!
Tastefully rehabbed farmhouse. Host was responsive and easy to contact.
We really liked the home and amenities. Highly recommend. Comfortable beds, 2kitchen areas, and well stocked kitchen.
Reasonably priced
Amazing property with lots of character and modern amenities. Renovated farmhouse was skillfully updated with a well-equipped kitchen and tasteful vintage furnishings. Several family cooks were able to work together on a big batch of clam chowder with a fresh haul of razor clams. The front porch was a wonderful place to enjoy our morning coffee and take in the peace of the Northwest. Karl was a great host. Will definitely be back to enjoy this homestead.
