My husband and I have lived in Olympia for many years, and we are a professional couple. We have looked for a waterfront retreat for over 15 years. We are absolutely delighted with this beautiful cottage. Once we purchased it, we spent months remodeling it, leaving the interesting parts and maintaining and updating the plumbing, electricity and other features that make it very comfortable and simply fun to stay here!

It was one of 4 cottages on the point, with each cottage standing on 1.3 private acres. The point of land on which the cottage sit (Rocky Point, for tidelands research!) had been owned by Native Americans, whose tribes came together to winter each year. Two of the cottages over time became very grand houses, and two of the cottages, including ours, have been remodeled and enjoyed in their simple state! It is hard to describe the beauty, pristine nature of this cottage. We also have a very large deck with fire pit, large fire pit overlooking the water (by lawn swing in photos) and a large bulkhead at water's edge with another strong fire pit. Few steps take you from cottage to beach, or just lay in the hammock and watch eagles, herons, and other wildlife. Also canoe, kayak, fish, beach walk for miles, shell, .l..

Cottage sits at water's edge - from the deck it feels as if one is standing on the prow of a ship! When you are at the cottage it seems as if you have been transported to another peaceful, simple and fun world. But very comfortable - fine linens, towels, everything you need to cook and serve food and beverages, sit on bulkhead and beach, treat yourself! If you're a kayaker, we have 2 new REI single kayaks (one sit-on-top), and one Hobie double kayak w/ removable pedals, all sitting on the bulkhead for your use. If you bring your own it is easy to bring it down to the water.
