Guest suite in Olympia

Goats and Gardens

Welcome! Located only 5 minutes from I-5, and 1.7 miles from the state capitol building, this accommodation is quiet and cozy. I have two goats and four cats who are often in the catio and are working on their people skills. *The cats do not enter the studio, so if you have allergies - no worries there.* The catio is attached to the main house. Let me know if you’d like to visit them there for coffee, homework, Zoom calls, or just a visit. The goats will often come to the fence to say hello.
