Perfect for Retreat
Hosts were amazing! It was a perfect stay.It was quiet and peaceful, beds were very comfortable and slept great! The bathroom was immaculate! So many little things that made it outstanding. Perfect space for working remotely. Loved the coffee and a few goodies that hit the spot late at night and early in the morning. Definitely staying here again and would highly recommend the Woodsy!!!

Lovely secluded peaceful place
My friend and I stayed here for two nights. It was very comfortable, clean and Danica had stocked it with loads of tempting treats as well as lots lovely things for breakfast. There were also more coffee and tea choices than I think I have ever seen in similar properties. The hot tub was a real delight and we enjoyed using it both nights. Unfortunately, we used all of our energy up walking around downtown Olympia and the Farmer's Market so didn't explore the lovely forest and beach behind the property. A good reason to return.

Relaxing reunion.
I have never stayed at a VRBO property that gave me so much peace and quiet. The amenities were above par. One thing we noted was the amazing snacks and continental breakfast provided by the owner. We had gotten in late and had not eaten, so this was a welcome surprise. I would definitely prefer to stay here than anywhere I researched.

Mother/ Daughter trip
The property was amazing. The host had snacks next to the pool table. Also, there was a continental breakfast setup on the coffee bar along with cheeses and drinks in the refrigerator. There were plush robes and slippers to wear out to the hot tub, which was really nice since it was cool out. The trail out the backdoor to the state park trail was amazing. We had such an enjoyable time!

Charming Intimate and beautiful.
Woodsy Retreat, was absolutely perfect for us. The owners really go above and beyond with the little details. I particularly enjoyed their little coffee station. So many choices and delights. It had all the convienence of home with a freling if camping outside. Sleeping with the windows open listening to the frogs and the the rain come down in very vomfortable beds gave us the ability to get some real needed dwep rest. Highly recommend Woodsy retreat for a small family or a couples get away

Peaceful spot in the forest
Such a sweet place surrounded by forest. Everything was clean and spotless. The kitchen was very well stocked and fun to cook in. The beds were so comfortable. We heard a Great Horned Owl in the trees one night and the frogs symphony.

Best Retreat in the Pacific Northwest!
This is our first family stay in a "Retreat" like area and I have to say ... the pictures alone does not do this place justice! We were guided by a lighted pathway to the downstairs of a home and then opened the door with a lot of welcome-ness to our home for the next 2 nights! There is a sign with a beautiful message, continental breakfast and treats everywhere! The home was relaxing and all items in them was carefully picked out to make our stay a pleasant one! We did do the trail to the entrance of Tolmie State Park (30 minute trail for us) and the spa was already on and ready to go! It was too cold for us to use the outdoor shower but we would definitely use it when we book again in warmer weather!! Towels were plushy and heavy (felt nice on skin!) and shower very clean! Host communication was beyond phenomenal! Home was spotless, from the floors to the walls to the beds. It was soothing and nice to be hanging out in such a comfortable home! I wish I can say MORE about this place yet, my words are limited on my review! Thank you Host for being so gracious and wonderful and thank you for your astonishing home you have shared with the world!

Woodsy Retreat plus hot tub!
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it to others! The outside hot tub was a big hit, very private, and located adjacent to the forest, which is right outside the entrance, and offered easy access to trails. Inside was very spacious, with an open floor plan and two couches in the main room for group conversation. The gas stove in the corner provided a warm ambience. The generous host left a variety of snacks and breaded treats. It's in a quiet, rural neighborhood, but feels like you are miles away from civilization. Great getaway!
Awesome trail to the beach. After a hike the hot tub provided us with just the relaxation we needed.

Wonderful location in the woods
If you’re looking for nature, this is the place. You can literally walk out the door and be on a hiking trail. The hosts were communicative throughout our stay. We were surprised by a number of unexpected treats, including continental breakfast, wine, cheese, bread and sweets. It was a nice surprise!
The hosts are upstairs, but they're really quiet. We heard them moving around occasionally, but it wasn't a problem at all.
The only slight negative was the pool table. Most of the cues didn't have tips, and the table isn't very level. I told the host and based on everything else we experienced, I'm guessing they weren't aware and will rectify it quickly. Again, not a huge deal, but if the pool table is a big draw for you, you might want to make sure it's been taken care of before you rent.
Overall, I would 100% recommend the Woodsy Retreat!
