About this property

The Laurels: Elegant Craftsman Perfectly Located

The Laurels is a complete home away from home, with exquisite touches of craftsmanship. Fully remodeled kitchen, soak tub, view deck and private patio all for you. King size bed in each bedroom. Can sleep 6 people, but is a cozy retreat for 2 people, or even 1.

Super easy self check-in. Quiet, safe residential neighborhood. Short walk to charming downtown, quick drive to Evergreen State College or the Washington State Capitol.

Clean, bright and spacious, the Laurels sits atop West Olympia's 4th Avenue hill. Kitchen remodeled with new cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counter-tops. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout plus architectural touches from the era.

Two tranquil bedrooms with a brand new king bed and memory foam mattress in each.

Large, comfy living room with huge couch and TV with basic cable and an Amazon Firestick. The Firestick allows you to log-in to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu. Also books and games for the analog inclined :-)

Centrally located, this quiet residential neighborhood is a short walk from our charming downtown, and a short drive to either The Evergreen State College or the State Capitol.

The whole house is yours during your visit. That includes the deck with Mt. Rainier view and a fenced yard with patio table set.

This home shares the property with our charming 1 BR 1 BA guesthouse, "The Bungalow," that we also offer for short term rentals. Each rental has its own separate outdoor entrance and private yard.

We are responsive hosts, but not intrusive. We live across the street and respond swiftly to any needs you may have.

Coffee 3 Ways! We value our coffee very highly here in the Pacific Northwest. And so, we offer you three different ways to brew your morning cup: "pour-over," French Press or by the pot. We supply the beans and grinder!

Our 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.

This home was perfect for our stay in Olympia. We could walk to downtown and leave the car behind. The home was very clean and if we needed anything Hannah and Ryan were quick to help. If we ever need a place in Olympia again, this property is at the top of our list.

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay. The house was in a very good location just up the hill from downtown. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The television was easy to use, and my mom liked having Comcast cable. The kitchen was well stocked and updated. The showers are small but functional. We will stay again when we visit Olympia.

Westside Charm

Hannah and Ryan have made a very cozy home to stay at. There are lots of inviting little touches and the needs of a vacationer have been well thought out. The kitchen is well equipped. All instructions are very clear. The home is conveniently located close to downtown, as well as the West side. We enjoyed our stay!

Great experience near downtown Olympia

The Laurels was a perfect spot for us to meet up with our adult children. Kitchen was well appointed and beds were comfortable. Both a necessity for us! Our hosts were also very responsive with answers to questions. We enjoyed the neighborhood and runs from the house to the capitol and downtown areas. I highly recommend!

Communication with owners including check-in was excellent. We loved the location near the Capitol and Percival Landing. We liked the front and side patios. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of towels and washcloths, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel. I appreciated that everything, including laundry detergent was fragrance free as I have allergies to scented products. I always recommend sleep masks as days are long in Pacific Northwest in summer. Beds have a center post so watch your toes. Excellent stay overall and loved our first visit to Olympia.

Cute & Cozy quiet in Olympia

House was great size for just one traveler working in the area for the week. It is on a quiet street. Loved the soaking tub. The house was clean, I did not have to do any extra cleaning upon arrival. The house was hot when I first arrived but I found the fans and the ceiling fans helped cool the place off. Hosts were quick and responsive when I had a wifi question. The kitchen is nice and looks new. The ice maker and filtered water was not working or water not installed. I travel with my own supplies for common kitchen items (peeler, scissors, pitcher for water) which I did need, sparse supplies aside from pots/pans and dinnerware. They provided coffee but no coffee filters. I would stay here again when my travels lead me back to the area.

Relaxing and convenient!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this vacation home while in the Olympia area visiting family. It Was easy to get to and had all of the amenities we need on hand. Much more spacious than it appears in the photos. The only thing they could add to make it even better would be a grill. Wonderful stay for our family of 5. 😊
