Exceptional home!
My close friends and family enjoyed our stay here so much that everyone requested I share the information so they could bring their family and friends for another visit. Home was clean, property was stunning, and the hospitality of the home was one filled with kindness and trust. Everything was what anyone would want and appreciate when exploring a beautiful area. Highly recommend this home and thankful for our wonderful stay here!

Outstanding view. Since we come from the midwest we enjoyed watching the tides come in and out!
Your home was perfect for our stay in Olympia! Kitchen was well stocked for any occasion. Perfect Dining room. Windows and decks provided us with the feeling we were close to nature. Would certainly like to come back again. Thank You.

Gorgeous home with a gorgeous view
This house was booked by Vacasa for us after our original home booking was taken off the website. This home was a beautiful surprise! So spacious and comfy. Breath taking views. And we were even visited by a jelly fish by the dock!
We will be keeping this home on our list of homes for family gatherings!

Gorgeous, comfy place on the water
The space is so nicely laid out - a comfy, cozy space around the fireplace with several other sitting areas around the living room. And the large kitchen is perfect for cooking up a delicious meal to share while chatting with those who opt out of the cooking enjoy a glass of wine at the other side the peninsula. Each of the bedrooms is spacious and comfortable. We loved going for a paddle and kayak at high tide to explore. And the grounds are gorgeous! Such a fantastic space to gather with friends!

Eaglenook Staycation
This was my first girls trip with my girl cousins and we have chose to stay at Eaglenook. Although there were some issues with communication from the Vacasa team, the stay overall was good. The home itself is beautiful. There were enough beds for all of us and I love how open, clean, and spacious the home is. There were some dirty dishes we found, but nothing too concerning to us that needed to be reported to Vacasa immediately. I would definitely come back to Eaglenook for another vacation.

The Perfect Retreat
I came up to stay for a long weekend by myself to work on my dissertation. There was a deadline looming near and I was extremely stressed out and anxious. As I drove toward my retreat along the water on a winding road flanked by tall evergreens, I began to feel my blood pressure ratchet down a little. I pulled up the drive to the house to find beautiful natural landscaping and hear the sound of water. It wasn't until I walked into the house and saw the view from the huge windows in the living room, however, that I truly felt I began to relax for the first time in many many weeks. I spent my days perched in front of the big windows with my laptop in a big comfy chair. My evenings were spent in front of the large stone fireplace typing away in tune with the sounds of a crackling fire. My writing retreat was just what I needed and I cannot imagine a better, more beautiful, tranquil location than Eaglenook!

Great stay in Olympia
We had a great week at Eaglenook to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Evergreen. The property was roomy with a great view of the inlet and we enjoyed the firepit. The property felt very private, but it was also quite easy to access shopping as needed in Olympia!
House was clean, fun games and kayaks. Kitchen amenities and grill were clean! Views were great!

Beautiful house and garden for a visit to Olympia
The house was clean and comfortable, with great kitchen supplies, comfortable beds and furniture, and lots of room for everyone. The garden is lovely and worth a walk by itself. The view from the house of the inlet is beautiful and peaceful.

Getaway
this house has the most beautiful view and the living space is excellent. There were 6 of us staying but we also had 2 friends come in for dinner and drinks and there was plenty of space in the livingroom for everyone to sit comfortably. Just a great layout. We would stay again if we are in the area.
This home is absolutely beautiful and the location is as well! Very peaceful and lovely views!!! Pretty sure we saw sea lions swimming off the shoreline from the house. We had plenty of room for 3 couples and my mom. So many places to hang out and space for separation. The only serious problems were mouse droppings and you can tell a cat has lived or stayed there (in the house). The droppings were addressed and the response to inquiries were very fast. For aging adults or individuals with bad balance, the walkway to the water deck is a hard no when the water is low or the tide is out. Plus, the gulls have made a mess on the deck at the water. Overall, we loved the house and location.
