The Overlook is simply the best place to stay in Olympia. We call it our “home away from home” and we’ve stayed here for the past 4 years! The space, the views, the neighborhood….all are excellent.

This home is one of the nicest vacation rentals we have ever seen. The view from the main bedroom, living room, kitchen and deck just takes your breath away. The owners go way over the top in making the visit perfect.

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!

Beautiful environment around this well decorated and well equipped home on the Puget Sound in Olympia. Super clean and the hosts provided some special items for our comfort. We felt welcome, and would recommend this rental to anyone.

The property is tucked away in a quiet corner of a nice neighborhood. Great views as the pictures reflect. The house has easy access to downtown and West Olympia. Owners were communicative and flexible. We had a great experience.

A great house in a great location. Close to everything but feels secluded. Plenty of space for four adults and three kids. The house more than lives up to the pictures, and no detail is overlooked. I don’t think we would choose to stay anywhere else in the Olympia area.

Our family had a wonderful stay. Chris and Ashlynn were excellent hosts. The place is spacious with wonderful views over the lake and at the state capitol. We especially enjoyed the the well equipped kitchen where we socialized and cooked a lot! We had a family gathering and the space was very conducive to everyone hanging out and relaxing. The fire place is a great touch and the bedroom view is special.

We couldn't have been happier with our rental and it was everything we had hoped for. The home is updated and comfortable, the view & location terrific ,and the hosts were very accommodating to our needs. Sincerely, The VanderKolk family

The pictures don’t do the place justice! Gorgeous house decked out with everything you could need. The space is very family friendly. My girls (4, 1.5) loved the little hidden room beneath the stairs and the giant plush bean bag and the bunk beds. There were also toys, books, highchair and pack and play. There’s even a retractable baby gate on the stairs! The views are amazing. We loved hanging out on the deck and watching the birds. The hosts live next door and are extremely friendly and welcoming. Location is perfect for easily getting around to activities in Olympia. We look forward to booking a time to come back soon!

Beautifully styled and so functional for our family. Games for the adults, toys and books for the littles and every time I wondered “is there a...” there was!!!! Chris and Ashlynn thought of everything. Even Halloween candy to pass out to neighborhood trick or treaters!!! Stunning views maximized by the position of the home and furnishings! We. Love. This. Place. The Overlook is Over the Top amazing

We are a group of four long-time friends who meet annually for a holiday gathering in Olympia. The Overlook more than met our expectations and was the perfect place for us. The view was amazing and the home comfortable, inviting, and sparkling clean. The kitchen was stocked with every necessity. The linens were top quality and there was an abundance of towels and hangers (of which there are often too few in vacation rental homes). The owners had left plenty of wood for us to enjoy our evenings around the fireplace, and they treated us to wonderful chocolates and beverages. Chris and Ashlynn live next door and were welcoming and available for answering questions and providing assistance. All four of us can hardly wait to return to The Overlook!

Foote Street is an adorable home in southwest Olympia which has been completely renovated by the owners, Chris and Ashlynn Strode. It sits on a hill with chamber of commerce views of the lake, State Capitol building and Mt. Ranier. The views are simply breathtaking. What you see in the owner photos is accurate. The renovations of this home include an open floorplan, huge island in the kitchen with lots of room for both cooks and observers, and finished with high end appliances. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cookware and dishes you will need. The comfortable adjacent living room includes an L shaped sofa, comfy leather chair, big tv with access to Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV, a working wood fireplace, and more large windows with THAT VIEW! There are upper and lower decks for good weather days, a gas grill (we used it), and outdoor dining furniture. The beds are comfortable - as are the pillows (the true test of a good home). This home is a little oasis. We didn't have a need to be downstairs much, but there is more room for larger groups and good spot for kids to have their own space. There are thoughtful touches that make it comfortable - for example, there are phone charges around the island and on the microwave, and really cool night lites that softly light up in the ceiling as it senses motion. Don't pack any extras as the house is well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, hairdryers, dish detergent, trashbags, clothes detergent, and a washer and dryer downstairs. The owners deserve the highest of marks for their responsiveness to any question we had - big or small. We were lucky enough to catch them out in the yard one day and they are as friendly and nice in person as they were online in the rental process. We found that there were plenty of nights we just wanted to stay in because the house is so comfortable and relaxing. To that end, there is a great grocery/deli at the bottom of the hill with everything you will need. This home is a winner and I highly recommend it!

Fantastic house. The pictures are great but they don't do the house justice. One of the nicest places we've stayed. The view from the back of the house is amazing. Very comfortable well appointed house. Well stocked kitchen. Close to restaurants and highway access while still being in a quiet neighborhood. Beds were a little firm for our taste but we were still comfortable. Would certainly try to stay here again if we were in the area.

Beautiful house that made our graduation celebration feel like home for out-of-town family members. Great location with beautiful view. We loved the relaxing balcony. A perfect spot to see birds and even barred owls.

Once again our group of four women friends stayed at The Overlook and once again we were warmly welcomed by Chris and Ashlynn and had a perfect stay in their lovely home. The house has everything anyone could need for a comfortable stay, right down to a few treats in the fridge. We had wood for the fire, plenty of towels, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, an excellent conversation area, and an amazing view. We can hardly wait to stay there again next year!

Was an awesome trip to Olympia at The Overlook. My family and friends really enjoyed the space. Plenty of room to stretch out for everyone. Accommodations were comfortable welcoming and everyone felt at home throughout our stay. Chris and Ashlynn were great communicative hosts. They did a lot of little things to make sure we had a great stay from chocolates, to adult beverages in the fridge, nice smelling candles, peanuts for the native bluejays... things felt intentional to make guests feel welcomed. The house had beautiful views off the deck and a less than mile walk you are in town or can walk capital lake. If we are back in Olympia we will likely look to return to The Overlook and would highly recommend for anyone else visiting Olympia.

This is a beautiful home! The pictures don’t really capture the gorgeous views or the spaciousness of the property. The supplies in the kitchen. bathrooms and laundry room are great. The art and books, games, toys are wonderful. Chris and Ashlynn are so responsive and helpful. We want to come back to the area and will want to stay here again!
