Mt Rainier park is a 40 min. drive with multiple hikes or view spots for picnicking. Several lakes within 20 minutes. Northwest trek is 30 mins. Town of Yelm with many fabulous dining options is just a 5 minute walk. There is a movie theater 5 minute walk with good food and cocktails in their lounge for 21 and over. Wonderful environment.

We have set up The home like a condo with board games.. and a home away from home feel, so you will be as comfortable as possible and are willing to help with anything you may need.

We also truly enjoy getting away on dates and have many recommendations for couples as well. If you are from out of state, Seattle is 1 hour and 15 minute drive. Portland is 1 hour 30 min.

We loved staying here. It was great to have our own guest house and the place is beautiful. Very charming and the perfect size. Easy walking to several restaurants and the best part is that you can see Mt Rainier from the porch! We are already talking about staying here again next year 🙂

the house and the landscaping project are really beautiful; It is very well located a few steps from the main street of Yelm, but upon arriving you feel a very pleasant country atmosphere; 100% recommended

The property owner is always wonderful to work with and the place is always clean and comfortable, something very important to me. I am always grateful for a close place to stay to get away with friends to work on things important in life.. a great work away from home location!!!
P.S. Love the bunnies and horses too... beautiful setting.

This is a great cottage that was perfect for my daughter, her two children, and myself for a 3-day getaway. It was really clean, and while not child-proofed (which we knew), it was really easy to put up the things we didn't want the kids to get into. So we had a great stay! Good location with nice low-key activities, which was just what we wanted. Carla, the owner, was really nice and helpful - thank you!

Farm to Fancy was all we needed and more. Our daughter was graduating from the local University and due to the pandemic spectators were not allowed.
We needed this to be an amazing day for her and this location was better than perfect.
My husband, myself and mother-in-law stayed Friday night and my son and his girlfriend visited until midnight helping decorate the inside of the house and food prep for the party the next day.
We ended up having to move our original plan of eating outside to inside. We brought our own folding tables and chairs and EASILY fit all of our 10 family members inside (we have all had our Covid vaccine) and comfortable ate with plenty of room. We all watched our daughter's virtual graduation on in the living room TV.
The home had everything we needed except for a few larger serving utensils, but the dollar tree is right around the corner so we grabbed what we needed from there.
Speaking of shopping... This home feels like you're out in the country, but it's seriously within walking distance of great restaurants and shopping.
We went to the restaurant pictured in the VRBO listing and we so surprised with the quality of food and service, we highly recommend it as well.
Carla, the host was amazing. She communicated well and responded quickly to any question I had.
The horses around the property were and added bonus. They helped bring peace to what could have been a very high stress celebration.
I highly recommend Carla's home. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you Carla and family!!

This home has nice open design with very tall ceilings in the living room area. There is plenty of room for activities. The air conditioner is one of the rooms and we went on the hostess day of the year and made it our icebox. The home felt pretty private, there are trees around it on one side, no windows facing the main home, and nothing but empty fields and horse pasture between you and the city.

We have now stayed at this location 3 times for a ministry retreat/planning meeting. The hosts are wonderful and give you great privacy, yet are available when needed. I am a country girl... and this gives me that feel even though it is close to home. I highly recommend this for anyone.

Overall our stay was quite nice and the home is decorated very nicely. We were 6 people though and it is more appropriate for 4-5 people as the fold down bed is quite small. Carla was very responsive and reliable.

We needed a quiet, secluded place to do some long hours of work and this was a wonderful place. It is close to town, but you feel quiet and isolated and that was a blessing. It is a beautiful home with everything we needed. Thank you so much Carla for the blessing you were to us.

Overall, it was perfect for our needs. Minor plumbing problem with slow draining sinks and a dishwasher that leaked out some water. Other than that, it was clean and close to where we needed to be. I would stay there again.
