This was the perfect place to drop anchor for several days in Olympia. The attention to detail was evident every step of our stay from check in to departure. Breakfast was also amazing as they inquired about any allergies (we are Gluten Free) and they took great care of us. Nice job guys!

Trad B&B in a historic home.

The inn is conveniently located on a quiet side street just minutes from the downtown area. The hosts were super—friendly and welcoming. Gave recommendations for where to have dinner, and local sights.

Best bed and breakfast in Olympia!

We came here for our wedding night and had an exceptional time. The owners Nathan and Casey went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The hotel is a a late 19th Century masterpiece. Blending Victorian and craftsman style architecture perfectly. Absolutely will be staying here again in the future. Highly recommend booking through their website though instead of here because they have better rates direct!

I interacted with Nathan during my stay here, and he was a fantastic host, especially with regard to my unpredictable work schedule. Thanks to him I was treated to warm, delicious scones before the set breakfast time, and he was able to accommodate my last minute changes with ease and ever-present amiability. The inn itself is a wonderful Victorian property with great architecture and plenty of charm. I'd definitely stay again, and would love to come back to take advantage of the full breakfast!
