The space:

"The Bungalow" is a 450 sq. ft. 1 bedroom guesthouse just above downtown Olympia.

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.

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.

Holiday convenience

This was a great place for my husband and I to stay while visiting and spending the holidays with family in Olympia. It had everything we needed. There is a step up into the shower and where the toilet is; we didn't notice that in the description. It was not a problem for us though. The entrance is private and there is a private patio. We'd love to stay again.

Quaint little house

This is the perfect quaint little house. Two air condition units so temperature was very comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Beds were clean and comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Lovely one-bedroom in residential neighborhood.

This is a very nice one-bedroom a short and easy drive from downtown. Owners provided lots of information about local coffee shops, restaurants and other places that one could walk to as well. Very clean, cozy and comfortable. Only draw back is that the bedroom shares a common wall with rental space next door, and voices could be heard. Not a problem on this visit, since they were in bed and settled down at a reasonable hour.

Lovely getaway

Thank you for providing such a serene and cozy place to stay. It was also refreshing to find a place that was fragrance free. We hope to be able to come again someday soon, maybe in warmer (and drier) weather.
