About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Woodsy Retreat has the trail to the temperate rain forest, and outdoor spa.
#WoodsyRetreat is a daylight walk-out suite- apartment- a prime example that nature's basic drive is not competition, as supposedly 'class' evolutionary theory maintains - its connection to our environment, home, where we choose to stay- staycation. You certainly understood this, with your play pool, hike, and soak! Woodsy Retreat is a private spa atmosphere that we keep enhancing.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

This is our third visit! We are two teacher friends who stay for a creative retreat, time away from home and obligations to write. This place is so warm and welcoming and has everything you need and more. Tucked in the beautiful woods, there is a trail to Tolmie SP. However you brew your coffee, you will be happy. The hot tub is nestled in trees with a view of the stars.

Absolutely love this place! Woodsy Retreat is much much more than just a retreat. It is a place of respite and refuge! My wife and I came back again in less than one year for another stay because of how special this place is. The level of hospitality shown by the hosts is unrivaled and unparalleled by any other vacation rental that we have stayed. We never left once during our stay and didn’t need to because of all the amenities, snacks and an astonishing coffee/tea bar. The intentionality in there hospitality was very unique and specific to our individual wants/likes such as “what drinks do you prefer?” Who does that! Private hot tub in a rainforest, fireplace, pool table, crisp and clean down feather comforters that make you sleep like a baby…. If you want a break from the world this is the place. Our hearts are full and spirits renewed . Looking forward to next time already. Wish I could rate more than 5 stars

What an incredible stay. Every tiny detail was carefully curated and thoughtful. I wish I had taken more/better photos, but the pictures do not do it justice anyway. It was very clean and the kingsize bed with the mattress topper was incredible. The snacks, pastries, fresh bread, and endless tea and coffee bar was so much more than expected and so deeply enjoyed. We hope to come back to experience other seasons. It was very quiet, private, and secluded, but the Danica was easy to reach if we needed anything. Thank you for an amazing escape.

The place was beautiful and very peaceful. Phil and Danica were so nice, and all the extras in the kitchen were outstanding! I was also a fan of the water. It was so pure and tasted great. The trails behind the house to the sound were so beautiful, and the outdoor living space was so comfortable and quiet. I would definitely stay here again!

Lovely secluded peaceful place
My friend and I stayed here for two nights. It was very comfortable, clean and Danica had stocked it with loads of tempting treats as well as lots lovely things for breakfast. There were also more coffee and tea choices than I think I have ever seen in similar properties. The hot tub was a real delight and we enjoyed using it both nights. Unfortunately, we used all of our energy up walking around downtown Olympia and the Farmer's Market so didn't explore the lovely forest and beach behind the property. A good reason to return.

Relaxing reunion.
I have never stayed at a VRBO property that gave me so much peace and quiet. The amenities were above par. One thing we noted was the amazing snacks and continental breakfast provided by the owner. We had gotten in late and had not eaten, so this was a welcome surprise. I would definitely prefer to stay here than anywhere I researched.
