Thank you for your kind words! The place was left spotless! I appreciated the care taken to make sure the check out instructions were followed.

I am so glad you chose my place for your special visit. We'd be happy to host you again in the future.

Wonderful time! Beautiful spot, nice sourdough loaf, comfy beds, good access to Olympia. Composting toilet was a little weird to get used to, but the property was overall lovely. We stayed for 5 days and would recommend. Good internet for remote work.

I appreciate that the toilet is different that what you were used to, and hope it did not detract from your overall enjoyment.

Thank you, Jill, for choosing Owls Nest Lofts to host your dad. I'm glad to hear the place worked so well. I really appreciated his attention to detail on the check out list.
Kind regards,

This charming vacation home is a gem! Very clean with a fully-equipped kitchen and everything you need for feeling right at home. The location is perfect - very close to Olympia with a remote "middle in the woods" feel and deer and rabbits coming around. Very welcoming host who fully respects privacy. Would definitely come again!

Thank you for your kind review, Renate. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay.
Thank you to you and Michael for leaving it so clean, doing your dishes and putting all the dirty laundry in the dressing room was a big help.
I appreciated how well you cared for the place.
We would be happy to host you once again.
It was comfortable and relaxing, getting around will be easier with a vehicle. The host was very friendly, helpful and accommodating while giving a lot of privacy.

Dave was a model guest. The place was left spotless and very well cared for. Any communication needed was completed respectfully and with prompt responses.
I was up front about how far we were from a bus stop and the conditions of our rural roads for walking, but Dave is right, it would be easier with a car for this location. I'm glad to hear a comfortable and relaxing stay was had despite any hardship this may have caused.
We absolutely loved our stay at Owls Nest! It was so comfortable and clean! We immediately felt at home away from home. The apartment itself has everything you need and is super comfortable. Rosemary is fantastic and makes sure that you are set for the stay. The yard of the apartment is incredible! We loved seeing all the deer and other wildlife. We saw so many baby deer! We really enjoyed the location, it was a quick drive anywhere we needed to go- but very quiet once at the apartment. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend!
The property is in a quiet, green setting. The unit was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The listing is accurate, and the host is very helpful and friendly.

About the host
Hosted by Rosemary Spyhalsky
I enjoy gardening, baking, and otherwise puttering around the place. I like to harvest from nature and make a culinary delight, art, or bath/ body product with it. I've taken up baking sourdough bread and enjoy sharing with guests as able; my gluten free repertoire is expanding as well.
What makes this property unique
The tall ceilings and natural light. The space has a very open feel with lots of natural light. It is private and nature views are just outside the windows.
