Moving aboard a boat is similar to tiny house living, so Scott and I decided to rent a tiny house for four days to test our survival. We found the tiny house on AirBnB, which is located on Henderson Inlet down by Olympia, WA.
Exploring Olympia
Scott and I arrived a few hours before check-in, so we spent part of the day exploring Olympia, including the Capital and the Port of Olympia.
From the capital, we headed over to Percival Landing to check out a seafood shop and the restaurants along the pier. The Olympia Seafood Co reminded us of Wild Salmon Seafood at Fisherman’s Terminal and they have a wonderful selection of fresh seafood!
Tiny House
The tiny house is just off of Slater-Keeney Road and you follow a long gravel driveway down to the property. The place was very serene and peaceful, which we desperately needed. In addition, this tiny house comes with a large hot tub! We estimate this tiny house was about 150sq feet!
It also came with three cats and Scott is allergic to cats. They belonged to the neighbor, but they were at our door the entire weekend.
The host has appointed this tiny home with everything you might need, from spices, pots and pans to robes and slippers! We even received a welcome basket with a bottle of bubbly.
Everything in the tiny house didn’t seem tiny. The bathroom was full size, along with the refrigerator and oven.
The living area was cozy with a comfy couch and an electric fireplace. For the best tour, be sure to check out the video below.
Best Part of the Tiny House
Above the bathroom, there is a loft that you access with a ladder. Thank God, that is not where you sleep. Instead, the bedroom is located at the end of the tiny house on the main floor.
The bedroom also had a very large closet, which is where we stored our suitcase.
Enjoying the evening
We put all of our food away and relaxed on the deck with a bottle of bubbly. The view is amazing and birds flock to the inlet. It was a very relaxing and peaceful afternoon.
Just around the corner from the tiny house is another airbnb in the form of a trailer!
That evening, we cooked up my homemade spaghetti sauce and enjoyed dinner with a great bottle of wine.
Tune in next week, as we kayak on Henderson Inlet, explore local trails and check out Swantown Marina. As always, thank you for following our journey!
