About this property

"Awesome View: very nice, cozy, complete... waterview is amazing." Feb 2021 K.H.

35 steps lead you to the peace and quiet of this shore cabin on the southern tip of the Salish Sea.

Wake to the waves at the bulkhead below on Budd Inlet and, on clear days, the sun rising over Mt. Rainier. Or, turn over, hit the switch for the gas fireplace and pull the feather duvet up and relax in the golden glow of cedar.

Enjoy the quiet and serenity of the sound while sipping coffee on the deck and watching marine life, cormorants and other shorebirds nearby.

There are 35 steps from the parking space to your front door.

Comfortable queen sized bed, bathtub with shower, fully equipped kitchen with stove and oven, washer and dryer, microwave, coffeepot, and small refrigerator.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Very cozy little cottage

Right on the beach - when the tide comes in, it laps against the foundation. The gas fireplace heats the whole place up in minutes, and the kitchen is good enough to cook in. Loved my short stay!

Thanks for staying, Manek and glad you had a good visit. For the hydrologists who may be reading this... we do have a breaker wall and the foundation is built on top of that wall. Everything is all up to code!

About the host

Hosted by Meagan Murphy Ross

Host profile image
Meagan and Pete Ross appreciate the need for quiet relaxation. Meagan, a native of Olympia and Pete, from Glasgow, Scotland, decided to return to her hometown to raise their family. Until they can fulfill their ultimate dream of sailing around the world, they happily make do with this stunning view of Mt. Rainier across Budd Inlet.

Why they chose this property

When choosing a location to reside in Olympia, the east side of Budd Inlet was an easy one. The best of the morning sun, quick access to downtown and the freeways, and the quiet seclusion of the point, is an amazing combination. Learning the history of this area, we nod to the Steh Chass people who first resided on the shores of Budd Inlet.

What makes this property unique

Watching the tide coming and going with all its treasure, the marine life at low tide and seals, great heron and other sea birds throughout the day are all an absolute pleasure to observe. The stairs lead straight from the cabin door to the beach. Though high tide leaves little beach below, the deck is the perfect spot to enjoy the waves lapping the shore or, in stormy weather, crashing against the breaker wall.
