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.
Escape to Olympia Lakeside Retreat for a truly special experience—where nature, comfort, and meaningful connections come together to create lasting memories.
