About the host
Hosted by Peter and Bonnie
Our family loves living in Olympia. This is where I was born and the majority of my family resides here. We returned to Olympia after spending time teaching overseas and in Alaska. It is a wonderful place to call home.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property in 2009. We live on the same parcel as the cottage in a large white 90 year old farm house. We knew this property was for us because of its rural, but close to town location.
What makes this property unique
We love the access we have to the Chehalis Western Trail and the pastoral views.
