Great Location and Excellent Hosts
The property was very nice in a quiet neighbourhood and in a great location near Olympia’s downtown. The view from the deck was also spectacular. The house is very modern with all the amenities we could ask for. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us to stay comfortably together. The complementary beers were also a great touch! Chris and Ashlynn were very responsive for any questions we had and were able to help us quickly gain entry to the place when we were having trouble with the door code. Overall, we had a great experience and only wish to have been able to stay longer. Hopefully we will be back sometime soon! Thanks for a great experience! Liam

Another Great Stay at The Overlook
This was the third or fourth time our siblings have enjoyed staying at The Overlook. The kitchen and dining room are a great space for gathering, playing games, etc. We love it so much that we have already booked for next year!

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Ashlynn Strode

Host profile image
We work and live in Olympia, both employed by the local hospital at Providence St Peter. We enjoy travel, birding, and at least one of us really likes mountain trail running! Being with family is important too.

Why they chose this property

TheOverlook has been our dream to purchase and remodel for the better part of a decade. We enjoy watching others enjoy this phenomenal location with stunning natural beauty and we believe you will be thrilled to be here.

What makes this property unique

Less than a dozen homes in all of Olympia have the amenities this property encompasses. The views, the solitude, the old-growth forest, proximity to downtown, the Puget Sound, Capitol mall, multiple restaurants and breweries - TheOverlook cannot be beat.
