Amazing views of water, wildlife, and Mt Rainier!
Terrific house to celebrate our anniversary with memorable views of the Sound and Mt Rainier at sunrise and sunset from the windows and deck. We were fortunate to have clear and sunny weather during most of our short stay in this quiet, clean, and comfortable home. We enjoyed the space, hot tub, and beach area with lots of wildlife, including seals and herons, to view. The house included most everything one would need for a relaxing stay. Wendy was a gracious host and we enjoyed our time here very much!

Very nice house on the water
We really enjoyed our time at this well-appointed home on the water. The hot tub with a view was a particular treat. AC is a listed amenity which we found a bit misleading since there is only one wall unit and it is in the second bedroom. It was in the upper 80's when we were there so the house got a little warm. Overall a very nice stay.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Click

Host profile image
I grew up in Olympia, graduating from Olympia High. My parents and family live across Eld Inlet. I now live in San Francisco and run an interior design firm. I like to come to Olympia often for family visits and to enjoy the Great Northwest.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because of the fabulous Mt Rainier views and the waterfront location. It is amazing to watch the water change with the seasons and the time of day. It is amazing to wake up looking across Eld Inlet to Mt Rainier! I often kayak across the bay to visit my parents who live on Cooper Point. Or, it is a short drive.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful Pickering is an amazing retreat! It is a great place to decompress and relax. It is very romantic! One can take walks on the beach and enjoy the views. There are lots of outdoor activities available nearby.
