We loved our stay. The woods, the beach, the driveway in…it’s all divine! The house is cozy and the bed is comfortable! We enjoyed having family out to play badminton. I highly recommend staying here. We didn’t want to leave!
Convenient home close to beautiful inlets and nature
Very nice owners and a home conveniently located to accessing the water, beaches, and tidelands nearby. Home has all the basics, including nice beds and a large TV with all the apps for movies. Coffee and wine were on the counter when we arrived, which was a lovely touch.
Stay was very good. Nice place for a dog. Quiet and clean. Only suggestions are to provide more kitchen items..I.e cheese grater, colander and cooking/salad bowls.
We stayed at this home for a month in between selling our home and buying our next one. We really enjoyed Shelton—nice people, fun restaurants.
Our host, Robert, was extremely nice and was very responsive to our questions. He also welcomed our two pets!
Had a wonderful month living right on the Puget Sound. The house had everything we needed to make it feel like home. We enjoyed seeing Mount Rainier from the backyard on clear days, going out in our kayak, and harvesting our own oysters from the beach walkable from the house. We were so sad to go and would definitely come back!
Robert's guest house was a great choice for our 6 weeks stay in the Olympia area. The house was comfortable, tastefully decorated and uncluttered, with tons of storage. Additional perks were the Weber grill and LG Bluetooth sound bar. The location is a lovely private setting about 15 minutes from Shelton and 30 to Olympia. We were lucky to catch the Lavender and Dahlia farms in full bloom! If well water is not to your taste, you may want to buy filtered. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. Thanks for everything Robert!
Wanted a house on the water for a few days before our Alaska cruise. The house was just what we wanted. The black berrys and hummingbird show was an unexpected bonus. The drive to the ferry was very scenic and the ferry got us within a few blocks of our ship and parking. Thank you for being a great part of our adventure.

We had a great stay, everything was as described, so nice to see the sun on the water (July visit) in the late afternoon. For us, as a getaway, it was perfect.
It was a joy to stay at this property. The driveway to the house was beautiful if a little steep. It made for a great morning hike. Very quiet and peaceful. We even had a deer visit us in the yard a few times.
Chose this property because it was a bit more remote BUT still close enough for a 1+ hour drive to the coast, national park and Seattle. Clean, well kept, plenty of room and quiet. The owner was very responsive on directions and instructions.
We had a very relaxing long weekend staying at this house. It was extremely clean and felt very comfortable. Our kids and dog especially had a great time!
The house is three bedrooms: (1) queen bed with upholstered headboard from the pictures and (2) bunk bed are on the same floor as the bathroom, each accessible down one step from the main living area. Bedroom (3) with the wood bedframe is up a flight of stairs and is the only room in the upstairs.
The beach is only accessible around low tide. At high tide the entire beach is under water. The path to the beach is very narrow and next to a step cliff - after our first visit we left our elderly dog and toddler at the house because we worried about the two of them making it down safely. The house is also next to a steep cliff, which only worried us in regards to our fearless toddler, who views running away from us towards danger as her favorite pastime.
Robert, the property owner, was very kind and welcoming. The house is also a 10ish minute drive from u-pick farms and Taylor’s Shellfish, which was the highlight of our trip. Loved our stay and would highly recommend to others!
The three-bedroom house was in great shape. Peek-a-boo views of Totten inlet from the first floor. The electronic lock was a little tricky to use and would get stuck, but always opened after various attempts. The only complaint is that it is a 20-30 minute drive to downtown Olympia.
The property was beautiful! Other than a couple of minor complaints, the place was great. I'm used to seeing a few more things in the kitchen, like a rudimentary spice collection, condiments, and ice, but none of these were available. The house next door to the property is quite close, which normally wouldn't be a big deal, but they happened to be doing renovations when we stayed here, so there was often someone in the yard working with a table saw. Other than these minor complaints, the stay was great and I would recommend this property to anyone.
Great south sound view property. Trail to the beach, lots of grass to play, and all amenities needed for a great stay. We loved the bbq, beach and outdoors while staying here. Host had great communication, thank you! We will definitely look to stay here again.
