Luxury Lakeside Retreat-S`mores Hot tub Watersports
Escape to Olympia Lakeside Retreat, a thoughtfully designed 600-sq-ft guest house on the lower level of the main home. Enjoy a cozy living area, well-equipped kitchen, spa-like bath, private patio with hot tub, fire table & S`mores kit, plus shared dock for SUP, kayaking or fishing. The king bed offers restful sleep, sofa suits one adult—or two if cozy. Stairs & ramps lead to the unit, and dock access is via stairs, so not ideal for mobility challenges. Perfect for a romantic or peaceful escape.
Welcome to Olympia Lakeside Retreat – A Sanctuary for Connection and Renewal
Nestled along the tranquil shores of Pattison Lake, Olympia Lakeside Retreat is crafted to help you disconnect from the daily bustle and reconnect with loved ones in a serene environment.
Your Private Retreat This secluded 600 sq. ft. ground-level unit offers a private entrance and one dedicated drive way parking space and additional street parking. Thoughtfully sound-insulated, you may occasionally hear light footsteps above. While I reside in the unit above, I travel frequently. I`m available if you need anything or have questions. I love meeting guests from around the world, so feel free to reach out. Otherwise, enjoy your stay with complete privacy!
A Cozy Haven Welcome to a thoughtfully designed guest house nestled on the lower level of the main home. The warm and inviting living area is perfect for movie nights or board games, while ample natural light creates an uplifting ambiance—ideal for both joyful gatherings and quiet relaxation.
Culinary Delights Await The well-equipped kitchen is stocked with chef spices, coffee essentials, and fine Pacific Northwest teas. For seafood lovers, Olympia offers fresh local oysters and shellfish, and there are also wide variety of cuisines available. Indoors or outdoors, each meal becomes a cherished memory.
Serene Bedroom Retreat The bedroom is your personal oasis, featuring a plush king bed, soft linens, and a peaceful ambiance to recharge. A dedicated workspace provides a quiet area for reflection or creativity, enhancing your restful stay.
Spa-Like Escape In the spa-inspired bathroom, unwind under a rain shower and use the provided yoga mats to enjoy mindful relaxation. Plush towels and essential toiletries complete this soothing retreat.
Outdoor Amenities for Connection Your private patio includes a hot tub for stargazing, while the shared dock invites you to explore the lake with a paddle boat, kayak, or SUP. Pattison Lake’s quiet waters with 5 mph limit are a haven for kayakers and paddleboarders, and fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the bass and trout-rich waters.
Wildlife Watching Immerse yourself in the natural beauty with sightings of migratory birds, nearby eagles, and occasional deer. Take in the lake views with Mt. Rainier in the distance and enjoy the nostalgia of the passing train crossing the lake.
A Sustainable Retreat With a focus on sustainability, Olympia Lakeside Retreat minimizes chemical use to protect the lake and its surrounding habitat. Expect occasional spiders and insects as part of this natural setting.
Additional Notes While we conduct regular pest control, we prioritize protecting the lake’s natural habitat by minimizing chemical use. Due to the property’s proximity to the water, some presence of spiders and insects is normal and expected.
Please also note that a train track crosses the lake, and you may occasionally hear the train horn, including at night. Most guests find it adds to the retreat’s charm, though we provide complimentary earplugs for those sensitive to sound.
Additionally, this property is not a flat site; there are steps to the house and a staircase to the dock, so it may not be suitable for guests with mobility challenges.

What a lovely place to stay! On the water with a dock, kayaks, peddle boat and another small boat. Great kitchen and bathroom. So relaxing! Laney is a fabulous host!
What a lovely stay. The lake is gorgeous, host is kind and helpful, and the space has everything you need for a nice weekend away. Took my spouse here for their birthday and we enjoyed the hotub and visiting some South Sound Native-owned distilleries. Do recommend!
Could not have asked for anything better!! Location was great, very clean and updated! Christmas tree and hot tub were what sold me and made Christmas that much better while visiting my son! Would definitely stay again!
Highly recommend! Everything was great! Perfect for couples, small families, or solo traveling. There are kayaks and paddle boards for hanging out on the water . Life jackets are provided too. And you can see the peak of Mount Rainier on clear days. Or just relax on the patio with your favorite beverage and make some s'mores
Staying here gave us a wonderful weekend away from everything! The ever-changing view of the lake is amazing, and I often wandered down the steps just to sit on the dock. The hot tub felt like an infinity pool; and I could watch birds on the lake forever! The space feels private, restful, luxurious, and also modest. Highly recommend for people who want to get closer to someone they love.
Lake access was easy. Lake was clean and refresh for middle of September. Hot tub was fantastic with lake view especially at night. Bed was super comfortable. Loved the bathroom. Very modern updated functional furniture and appliances. Would definitely stay again. Host was responsive with questions we had. The only thing distracting you from the quietness and calm of the setting is the train that is very close and the blaring of the horn. When inside with all windows and doors closed it’s not quite as loud but we did enjoy the place.
I travel quite a bit and generally try to stay in nicer resorts. Tumwater didn't have too much to choose from when it came to hotels for my father's 70th birthday. I cannot tell you how incredibly pleased I am with this VRBO. Way better then many luxury hotels I've visited. The small details and thoughtfulness made it feel very welcoming and peaceful. Yes, there's a train but I was easily able to sleep through it. The view was so relaxing. I could've sat on that back porch for hours. I wish I could've stayed longer to take advantage of the kayaks and hot tub. The location is exactly as pictured and more. I will certainly be staying here again when I visit family in Tumwater. Also....I need your decorator's number please ;)
The bed felt like sleeping in a cloud. The whole place felt new and very well done and thought through. We took the kayak and the rowboat out on the lake. We were a little surprised to find that the unit was below a residence, but there may as well have been no one above us. The bathroom was so luxurious feeling. The property owner was very accommodating and quick to communicate. We arrived to find a bottle of wine in the fridge to congratulate us on our new baby who we brought with us. We had a wonderful weekend and hope it will be the first of many at this beautiful property. The only downside was the occasional passing train but that doesn’t have much to do with the property itself and it was very muffled and faint in the bedroom with the door shut. There were also some convenient earplugs in the bathroom along with many amenities I didn’t even think of needing.
