Beautiful Getaway

Beautiful Getaway, 15 minutes from everything but away from it all. This cozy studio is all a perfect getaway from it all. Fall asleep and wake again to the stunning views of budd inlet. Cozy up next to the fireplace or lounge above high tide on the deck.

Cute, cozy and quiet

This thoughtfully furnished and decorated cabin has everything you might need during your stay including a compact but very efficient full kitchen. Although the space is small, it never felt that way because of the many windows and glass doors that look out onto Budd Inlet. It was great sitting on the big deck and enjoying the view. Lots of stairs but worth the the workout!

Peaceful retreat

What a wonderful place to recharge. We spent 4 nights here with our 3 yr old mini Bernedoodle and enjoyed every minute. The cabin is small and space is definitely at a premium but you have everything you need. Kitchen has ample tools and supplies should you want to cook, which we did a few times. Can we talk about the deck?! Wow. Our last day, the sun was shining and it was a beautiful 70 degrees outside. We spent the entire day reading and dozing on the deck with just the sound of the water and the birds. Simply a perfect way to end our stay. Meagan was the perfect host. Checking in after our arrival and responding to our questions timely. Thanks Meagan for sharing your little slice of heaven with us! W & T

Great cabin

My husband and I visited for our anniversary. We both wanted a serene escape. This was definitely it! The cabin feels extremely secluded and is extremely quiet. I highly enjoyed just watching the water and wildlife. Just beware of parking. We have a large pickup and almost got stuck because we couldnt make the turnaround.

Very cozy little cottage

Right on the beach - when the tide comes in, it laps against the foundation. The gas fireplace heats the whole place up in minutes, and the kitchen is good enough to cook in. Loved my short stay!

The second time around

What a wonderful location and perfect cottage--even better then last year. The better, I saw the mountain more and it was warm enough to sit on the deck. I think this is my last year traveling to Washington State but after this stay--maybe one more year! Thanks Meagan

Lovely Weekend Stay

This was such a lovely place to explore Olympia from. Very peaceful. We loved having access to the paddleboards - my daughter and I made use of them for an afternoon out on the water, which was a mini vacation in and of itself. We loved watching the tide come in -- it felt like we were on our own little boat/treehouse. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Little slice of heaven

I came to Olympia to do some consulting work with a local agency. I found this property to stay at and couldn't have been more thrilled. Meagan was fantastic to work with and very responsive. The view from the deck is unparalleled and the only sounds you hear are those of nature. I kept the doors open on the deck to constantly hear the waves against the shore. It was heavenly and I will absolutely be back again. Thank you for a great stay!

Spent 2 days here leading into our anniversary date. Needless to say, this was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Talk about unwinding. The cabin is perfect with everything you could possibly need.

Relaxing Getaway

Quiet sanctuary with beautiful views. Enjoyed hearing the water under the porch during high tide, walking along the beach, and the feeling of peaceful isolation (there are houses surrounding the cabin, but the trees provide privacy). The many windows overlooking the inlet provide unobstructed views of the surrounding area. Although the cabin is a studio with a private bathroom, my husband and I found it quite comfortable and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed are stay.

If you are looking for paradise, This is the place.

I looked to rebook before I even left this place. It was absolutely quiet. The views are spectacular. Proximity to activities was spot on. If I ever get married again, this is where I would honeymoon! The host was very gracious. The space was well appointed with everything I needed for a perfect stay. I had the perfect view of Mount Rainier while I sat on the back deck. I would absolutely, 100% recommend this to everyone. All my friends wanted to know where I was staying after I sent pictures. I was hesitant to tell them because I wanted to keep this as my secret and get away. I

About the host

Hosted by Meagan Murphy Ross

Meagan and Pete Ross appreciate the need for quiet relaxation. Meagan, a native of Olympia and Pete, from Glasgow, Scotland, decided to return to her hometown to raise their family. Until they can fulfill their ultimate dream of sailing around the world, they happily make do with this stunning view of Mt. Rainier across Budd Inlet.

Why they chose this property

When choosing a location to reside in Olympia, the east side of Budd Inlet was an easy one. The best of the morning sun, quick access to downtown and the freeways, and the quiet seclusion of the point, is an amazing combination. Learning the history of this area, we nod to the Steh Chass people who first resided on the shores of Budd Inlet.

What makes this property unique

Watching the tide coming and going with all its treasure, the marine life at low tide and seals, great heron and other sea birds throughout the day are all an absolute pleasure to observe. The stairs lead straight from the cabin door to the beach. Though high tide leaves little beach below, the deck is the perfect spot to enjoy the waves lapping the shore or, in stormy weather, crashing against the breaker wall.
