Cozy, fun and always super clean! The Bungalow is the perfect resting spot for your trip to Olympia. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, but close to everything.

Conveniently located midway between the Washington State Capitol and The Evergreen State College. A 10 minute walk to our vibrant downtown and lake trails.

The space:

The Bungalow is a 450 sq. ft. 1 bedroom guesthouse just above downtown Olympia. This guesthouse shares the property with our gorgeous 2 BR, 2 BA house, The Laurels, that we also offer for short term rentals. Each rental has its own separate outdoor entrance and private yard. Super easy self check-in and 24 hour access.

Whether you are here on business, or for pleasure, The Bungalow is perfect.
In addition to the comfy private bedroom, you have a living room with a large futon that can sleep 1 person while in the couch position and 2 people when pulled out. Full kitchen with fridge, stove, toaster oven, coffee maker (coffee included), blender, dishes, utensils, pots/pans. Bedroom with memory foam mattress and pillows (heaven), dresser, full length mirror, iron and ironing board. Full bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower. Air conditioning units in both rooms.

The Bungalow has a nice TV with basic cable and an Amazon Firestick, which allows you to log-in to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.

Easy 24 hour access through your own outdoor, private entrance to the apartment. The code for the keypad lock will be provided 1-2 days prior to arrival. Super easy self check-in.

Interaction With Guests:

We allow you to enjoy your space un-interrupted. However, we live nearby if you need us. We respond almost immediately to any requests.

The Lovely Neighborhood:

Safe and friendly, the historic South Westside offers nice strolls through its eclectic homes and gardens. Be sure to grab an espresso from award winning Olympia Coffee Roasters, a few blocks away. Enjoy farm-fresh produce just down the street during our seasonal farmer's market. Kids love the nearby 'sprayground' at Woodruff Park during warm summer days! Hugely popular city pickleball courts two blocks away. We love how everything is walkable here, including downtown, West Bay waterfront and the Capitol Lake trails.

Ten minute walk to our vibrant waterfront downtown, to Capitol Lake or West Bay saltwater park. Ten minute walk to Capital Mall and the cinemas. Ten minute drive to the Evergreen State College or the State Capitol. We are one block from the bus line. Uber and Lyft respond super quickly to our neighborhood.

    The rooms and bathroom was very clean and the neighborhood was in walking distance of good restaurants downtown. I would recommend staying here to anyone. The location has great access to getting to places south and east of Seattle.

    A super convenient and cozy spot. It was our first time using VRBO but we were trying to get away from the other site. I’d say it was a great experience. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and the space had everything we needed. Easy walk to downtown or even closer to a variety of restaurants.

    My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. It was the perfect size for us and the location was great. We were able to walk into downtown everyday. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Definitely would recommend to others

    We loved the little bungalow! It was exactly like the pictures and we felt right at home. The location is perfect since it was close to many restaurants and stores. We will definitely stay there again since my daughter and grandson lives up here.

    l enjoyed my stay at the bungalow-- it is a really cute spot and I loved the private backyard area especially! I appreciated that the house is allergen and scent free. The bedroom wall does share a wall with the other unit attached to the house and if you're both in the bedroom at the same time you can hear phone alarms or talking--though none were an issue. Recommend as a place to stay!
