The Space:r>Welcome to our spacious and comfortable 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home in Olympia, WA, complete with a full kitchen. As you enter the front door, you'll be greeted by a large living room with vaulted ceilings, known as the Mt. Rainier room, providing an airy and open atmosphere perfect for relaxing after a long day.

The fully equipped kitchen, adjacent to the living room, has everything you need to prepare delicious meals or bake your favorite dessert. A list of additional items, like a Vitamix, KitchenAid, and numerous other kitchen gadgets, are available upon request. A half bathroom off the kitchen doubles as a laundry room, complete with a washer and dryer.

Off the kitchen, you'll find the cozy downstairs bedroom, themed after the historic Olympia Beer Company, and aptly named the Olympia room. This inviting space features a queen size, memory foam mattress and a 42 Roku Smart TV, providing a space separate from the other bedroom, perfect for night owls or early risers.

Upstairs, the North Cascades room features a comfortable queen-size memory foam mattress and an extra long twin bed, making it ideal for families or friends traveling together. The master bedroom, the ONP room (short for Olympic National Park), boasts a cozy memory foam king mattress and an adjustable workstation desk for guests who need to work during their stay.

Both bedrooms come with ample closet space, allowing guests to unpack and feel at home during their stay. A full bathroom with a shower and bathtub is located upstairs, adjacent to the bedrooms.

Our home is located in the peaceful Indian Creek neighborhood, known for its tranquility and close proximity to the beautiful Woodland Creek Trail. This popular trail offers a scenic and relaxing outdoor activity for all ages and skill levels.

We are less than two and a half miles from the state capitol building and campus, as well as all the attractions that downtown Olympia has to offer, including access to Puget Sound along Percival Landing Park, restaurants, shops, and much more.

We take pride in providing our guests with a clean and comfortable home away from home, and we look forward to hosting you during your stay in Olympia, WA!

Guest Access:
We would like our guests to be aware that the house behind their accommodation is occupied by their hosts part-time and is seasonally offered as another short-term rental. Although the units are attached, rest assured that your space is 100% private with no shared areas. The entire fenced front and side yards are exclusively yours to enjoy during your stay! Our goal is to make your visit as comfortable and relaxing as possible while respecting your privacy.

The Neighborhood:
Tucked away in the Indian Creek Neighborhood, our house offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of being minutes from downtown Olympia and the tranquility of feeling like you're on the town's edge. Situated on a quiet, dead-end road with minimal traffic, our location promises serene walks and peaceful moments. Just steps away, you'll find multiple entrances to the Woodland Creek Trail—a lush, picturesque path that meanders alongside Indian Creek, inviting you to explore the natural beauty of the area.

Getting Around:
While The Trail House is conveniently located minutes from downtown Olympia, guests should note that essentials like groceries and dining options require a short drive, given the house is just a tad beyond comfortable walking distance. However, for those who love to bike or enjoy a leisurely stroll, the Woodland Creek Trail offers a scenic route connecting to several main roads, making many attractions and necessities accessible on foot or by bicycle. This unique blend of seclusion and accessibility ensures that whether you're venturing out for supplies or exploring the area's natural beauty, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Other Things to Note:
We are delighted to welcome up to 2 well-behaved dogs at our dog-friendly home. Please note that no other animals are allowed without specific host approval. Dogs should not be left alone at any time unless they are crate trained and can remain inside the crate without causing noise disturbances. We do charge a small pet fee to cover the cost of additional cleaning; however, this fee is not meant to cover any damage caused by guests' dogs. In the event of any damage, a separate charge will be applied to cover the cost of repairing or replacing the affected items.

Speaking of pets, we have three lovable furry friends of our own. Amber Rose is an incredibly affectionate chocolate lab, and you might see us strolling by during our evening walks. Khaleesi (also known as Chica) and Reny are our adorable long-haired teacup chihuahuas. You probably won't see them, as they're not fans of going on walks. Rest assured, our pets are well-behaved and won't interfere with your stay, but do feel free to give Amber Rose a friendly pat if you happen to cross paths!

To ensure a seamless check-in, all guests must complete a quick pre-check-in verification through our secure guest portal; a link will be sent after your booking is confirmed.

Interaction with Guests:
At our property, we strive to achieve the perfect balance between providing our guests with the privacy they desire while remaining accessible for any questions or needs that may arise. We respect your space and ensure that your stay is as comfortable as possible. However, if you have any inquiries, require assistance, or simply want some local tips and recommendations, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're always more than happy to help make your stay a memorable and enjoyable experience.

    I stay with my family in vacation rentals often. This one is particularly good. Aside from the usual expectations, comfy beds, clean, nice layout - it was very generously supplied with anything we could possibly need. And I appreciated the labels on the drawers in the kitchen. The neighborhood also checks out. Its a nice residential neighborhood that is close to most of what you might want to do in Olympia. A great stay.

    The cottage was perfect for us and our two dogs. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Loved sitting on the porch, even with the rain, wrapped in a blanket and a cup of coffee, it was heaven since I live in the desert. I would definitely recommend this rental to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful 4 days.

    This was a great place for our family to stay while celebrating a milestone birthday with local family. Didn’t realize the A/C wasn’t central air going in, but the separate air conditioners kept everything cool on a very hot weekend. Close to the grocery and a nice vibe.

    We had a great experience at this home. The owners were prompt to help find solutions if there was a minor problem, and it is close to everything within 10 minutes of a drive. We had one issue, the garbages inside were not taken out, but they helped resolve it quickly. There isn’t much of a place to walk the dog right here - but it’s a short drive to good sidewalk places.

    We enjoyed our week at the Trail House. It was cozy, clean and the well-equipped. The hosts have an online brochure that helped us discover places around town, which was very helpful. The neighborhood was nice for evening walks and the beds were comfy. Thank you, will visit again!

    There was a small issue with checking in. But the host went above and beyond to help make our stay an excellent experience. The house was very comfortable and clean. It was just 3 of us that stayed there but a larger group would also be comfortable. I couldnt find the towels (my fault didnt look in the closet.) But they brought more over right away and helped with any other concerns we hand and checked to make sure we happy and to see if everything else was good. It was my first booking in VRBO and I am impressed so far. Thanks again Jennifer and Jordan! Host

    The house was perfect with three bedrooms to accommodate us. It was so sweet that the host had extra toothpaste or toothbrush if you needed it. Olympia is beautiful and there’s a terrific trail right nearby the house that’s paved. Everything was close by. We enjoyed our stay.

    Home renovations have made this house a gem in the Olympia area. The house was clean and well decorated. We felt welcomed by our hosts. Property is shared with the owners, but we did not feel privacy was lacking. Thank you for a lovely stay!

    We stayed here for 8 days in June. The property is beautifully kept and the owners have thought of so many things (like a cooler backpack for picnics and filtered water). The parking and access was great. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The owner answered our questions promptly. The only drawbacks, I hesitate to mention as they may well be no problem at all for most, but we had two young grandchildren visit quite often and I was always nervous of the steep stairs and the fact that the only places to sit and eat were on high stools. As I say, not a problem for most people but feel I should mention for families.On the other hand, there were games available both inside and outside which we used and were fun to have. I would stay here again.

    The Trail House was a great base for our three day stay in Olympia. The house is very well organized with lots of thoughtful touches. Our dog was very happy with the yard, access to walking trails, and dog paraphernalia supplied by the house. We were very happy with the kitchen, especially the labeling and supplies. Overall a thoughtful, attractive, clean, and quiet place to stay!
