We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property and I would highly recommend it to others. The farmhouse was ideal for our needs (layout, amenities, privacy) and we really enjoyed the historic feel of the place. Everything was beautifully restored and the host was pleasant and very helpful. This is an amazing place and we will definitely be back the next time we visit Olympia.
Beautiful house! We stayed here three nights with our three small children. Only wish we could've stayed longer. We would definitely stay here again. The home was very clean and, obviously, well taken care of. Karl was a very hospitable host and made our stay even more enjoyable by providing children's items that were very much appreciated.
This is one of the best VRBO accommodations I've ever stayed in. It was thoroughly and beautifully appointed. The beds and pillows were comfortable. There are plenty of outlets, which I think is unusual in a vintage home. It looked like everything had been thoroughly and tastefully restored to blend vintage character with modern convenience. Three of us were there for a digital scrapbook workshop over Zoom and it went beautifuuly. Check-in was simple with the code sent to us. And best of all, communication with our host Karl was excellent from pre-booking to check-out.
I really wanted to like this place. It was a nice setting just outside of town but within 5-10 minutes of pretty much everything youâd need. The house was decorated nicely and was nicely constructed unlike many of the new cookie cutter cheap properties that are out there. So that was the good, but then things started to come up short from there. The kitchen was sparely appointed. For example, only 4 spoons. The pans had lost all semblance of being non-stick and were a huge pain to use/clean. The oven and fridge were ok. Itâs not a kitchen for more than a couple people. The shades were nice looking but blocked zero sunlight which is an issue during PNW summers. The biggest drawback was the lack of a gathering place for more than 3 people. At one point in time, it looks like there was a nice big family room right as you walked in; however, this was turned into a bedroom. I donât know who would want to pick that as a bedroom seeing how it is right next to the front door, dining table, the small sitting room, and kitchen. There is a small room with a couch and chair with a tv, but you canât comfortably fit more than 3 people in it. The two bedrooms upstairs are nicely appointed, but they do share a bath. For some reason there is a small kitchen and dining table upstairs. I donât know who would ever use that? It would make a nice third bedroom. In summary, the layout is lacking except for a very small family or a couple, but the property and location is very nice.
This house was absolutely perfect. We couldnât have asked for anything more. The host was so kind and communicative. Helpful and kind. I wish I could move to this house. Out in the county and the landscape was phenomenal. We wish we could give 100 stars!!! Thank you for the most amazing stay.
Beautiful home, gorgeous property close to everything you need. Nice yard with fire pit for relaxing. easy access excellent communication. Will definitely stay again.
Old updated farmhouse was perfect for three couples. House was filled with interesting antiques and location was serene and private. Deer and rabbits in the yard daily.
What a delightful place to stay. Large open property with lovely landscaping. The house has all of the amenities you need and the Host is very accessible. Will definitely stay again.
We all loved staying in this old farmhouse. Itâs been updated tastefully and having a second kitchen upstairs really helps when you have some that like to get up early and are eager to get the coffee going!
This home is in the perfect location to explore Olympia and the cities surrounding it. The home is beautiful as well as the property. We will definitely return and stay here again. I loved the front porch and rocking chairs. Great way to start and end your day.
That is what our auntie said, when she and her daughter and grandkids stayed for a few days. They wanted to stay longer and spend more time at the Hands On children's museum, and relax in the beautiful and comfortable house we rented for them. The host was great, and readily available for questions.
Our family of 6 stayed comfortably at the Farmhouse. Host Karl was very responsive and accommodating. The property is very clean and had all we needed provided. Nicely kept outside. We stayed for a week and visited Mt. Rainier, Olympic and Seattle. Thanks again Karl
House was old and charming. Great stay for the money. Laundry facilities were in the detached garage and shared with a separate house, which was surprising but worked. Also surprised to have a trailer home about 30 ft away but it didnât look like anyone was staying there. Bathroom doors do not lock. I would stay there again
An old farmhouse updated out of the city noise. We met Karl on arrival. Friendly, responsive and competent, he said the washer was broken and would be replaced in the morning by 8:00. As promised, it was.
Clean and well kept we had everything we wanted in quiet comfort. We will return someday!.
It was a joy to stay in this gem of a historic farmhouse. Every room is beautifully decorated and exceedingly comfortable. The garden and surrounding areas are quiet. Parking in the roundabout driveway was safe and secure. I look forward to visiting again.
The house is wonderful, it's old and there are several older historical things in it. The gardens are stunning and I love the neighborhood. What really makes this property great though is the owner. Carl is super kind and friendly. This is one of the first homes I have stayed in where I didn't feel it was missing anything. I got injured during our trip and he even had a gel ice pack in the freezer. It's a fully stocked kitchen we were easily able to cook and clean up after ourselves. The bathrooms had shampoo conditioner and body wash we were also able to do laundry throughout the trip.
Be aware the doors have original doorknobs and they don't work very well so I wouldn't stay here with people you aren't comfortable if the bathroom door accidentally swings open lol
Also the floorboards are original but there are gaps in them so make sure you all have a pair of slippers. I thought socks would be fine and I ended up getting my toe caught on a crack and got injured. If I had slippers on this wouldn't be a problem.
Overall this is an amazing house that added a historical element to our trip and the house itself was a perfect place to show up and make a home for a while. Just be careful that your kids don't break anything (particularly rowdy kids should stay away) and that you bring slippers to protect your feet.
Should anything happen Carl is very attentive and accommodating which was refreshing. He has done an excellent job of anticipating needs and making us feel welcome.
Beautifully restored property. We came to experience the winter in Olympia and were even treated to some snow! We had a great time in Karl was a wonderful host.
