Incredibly Indulgent
We had a fabulous stay at Woodsy Retreat. The natural surroundings are so incredibly beautiful. Even in the cold and rain, we were able to enjoy them from the hot tub and the wonderful swinging daybed on the covered patio with a heater! Nature therapy is tougher in November in the PNW, but this retreat made it comfortable and accessible. The inside is also beautiful and decadently appointed. To say everything we needed was provided is an understatement. From fresh bread, snacks, and breakfast pastries to luxurious beds and robes - everything was high quality. This did not feel like a typical VRBO - instead, we felt like we were esteemed guests for whom only the best was provided!

Thoughtful hosts and great getaway!
Danica and Phil were very communicative and welcoming hosts! A friend and I stayed at the Woodsy Retreat for two nights and it was a wonderful experience. From the fresh bread, to the continental breakfast, the coffee, it was all so appreciated and all the special touches made the space the perfect spot to stay.

Get ready for a spa like visit to restore & renew !
A friend and I rented the Woodsy Retreat for our stay during a dance workshop and were delighted we did! This was one of the best rentals I have been to, with so much attention to detail. Super comfy beds, yummy breakfast provided, AMAZING hot tub facing the woods, we definitely will be returning. Dancia was so kind in her communication. Five stars and then some !!

Peaceful, relaxing and serene!
The Woodsy Retreat is truly a hidden gem! The home is warm and welcoming with an abundance of amenities. There wasn’t a single thing we could have possibly needed, it was perfect! The fresh bread, pastries, and coffee bar allowed for relaxing mornings. The bedding is superior and inviting. We enjoyed the living/kitchen area, played pool and spent many hours outside. The forest is gorgeous and tranquil. The hot tub was very nice after navigating Seattle traffic, after trips to Gig Harbor and Woodinville. We met Danica and her fur babies, they showed us the trails and their property. This is a very special place and we cannot wait to return. Looking forward to chatting with Danica, she is an amazing woman!

Serenity in the Pacific Northwest!
This property is so beautiful! The photos represent it very well, but the scents and sounds of the forest make it an immersive, unforgettable experience. But the real WOW factor is the extra touches that Danica has imbued into her guest home. We were blown away by the fresh (still warm) loaf of bread that greeted us just inside the door, the wide array of snacks, drinks, and breakfast breads, and the well-stocked kitchen that had anything and everything that we needed. The fluffy cloud beds were incredibly comfy and kept us sleeping in longer than intended. My teen boys loved roaming the outdoor spaces, including a walk to Tolmie (caution - the downhill slopes on the walk there are quiet steep and treacherous if it's rained recently). I can't wait to return to stay again at the Woodsy Retreat! Note: the listing of beds/bedrooms on the VRBO site is misleading. There are two bedrooms, each with a king bed (or maybe California king?) and 2 expandable couches in the living room. The way it's written on the site makes it sound like one bedroom has one king and two queen beds.

Truly a Top Retreat Get-Away!
Danica and Phillip were the best VRBO home owners we have ever met! As soon as we entered the home, I could see and smell the cleanliness- and Danica's special little touches of Artisan bread (sliced) and in the freezer, more bread and Danish pastries in the kitchen, along with a beautiful snack bar and coffee/tea bar! We felt so welcomed, not to mention a bottle of wine with 2 glasses in the fridge. The welcome note on the chalk 'door' was so personalized! My best part - or should I say 'parts'included the hot tub in such a private setting with trees all around us - the swinging patio 'couch' - the bed and pillows were super comfortable - and the shower....I didn't want to get out of it! But the tops, were the chimes outside - I felt so relaxed and that I was at some monk's abbey on top of the mountains! We will definitely return and the only thing I would change is that we would stay for a longer visit! Thank you Danica and Phillip for your hospitality and such a magical homestay!

Great Birthday Getaway!
We came and stayed a few nights for my wife's birthday and had a great stay. There was delicious homemade bread waiting for us along with some other great goodies. The location is amazing with a short trail to the state park, perfect woods-walk location. Communication was amazing. Thanks for the great stay!

I spent 1 night here & it was an amazing relaxing night. I got lost trying to find the entrance because I arrived when it was dark and the hosts answered the phone immediately & directed me to it. It's very quiet , spacious , entertaining & very clean . I would most definitely rent it again!

Lovely!
We had a great stay in this light and very open-feeling basement apartment. It felt very private; although we could occasionally hear muffled sounds from our hosts upstairs, we never saw them. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the amenities were stellar: continental breakfast, coffee/tea bar, trail snacks, cookies, fresh bread, and extensive toiletries available in the bathroom. With the weather so mild, we were able to enjoy the outdoor patio/dining area, outdoor tub, and hot tub. Our 5 year old was able to make the trek to the rocky beach down the well maintained trail. All in all a lovely place to stay.

A Great Get-Away
My wife and I were very impressed by the amount of care that went into making sure that guests felt welcomed by the host. There was a fully stocked coffee bar, some delicious treats for breakfast, and even some neat things in the fridge - none of which I was expecting, but all of which were appreciated. My wife mentioned multiple times how impressed she was by everything. In terms of the actual physical interior: everything was clean, easy to use or figure out, and comfortable. We would certainly recommend anyone visit - it was definitely a woodsy retreat!

New Year Retreat
I cannot say enough about how incredible our stay was. From the moment we drove up, walked down the charming path and saw it open to the forest, to every special touch outside and inside of this beautiful place, we loved it! We walked through the woods down to the beach, hot tubbed under the stars at night overlooked the forest, swung on the porch swing in the morning drinking our coffee and spent hours catching up inside. As many others have said, all of the special touches make this space such a gem. Walking in to a sweet welcome board, snacks and wine with chilled glasses, the morning breakfast, outdoor shower and claw foot tub….I truly can’t wait to rerun in the summer months. Truly one of the best places I have stayed. Thank you

Pretty amazing spot
Everything was perfect. Host even presented a bottle of wine, a couple of beers, and a meat and cheese tray in the fridge, a homemade loaf of bread on the counter, along with a bunch of pastries and treats set out for snacking. My friends enjoyed that stuff a lot, but when I told her I was vegan and wouldnt be partaking, she went out the next morning and picked up some treats from a vegan bakery for me! Definitely the most hospitality I've seen from a VRBO host. Also, property is connected by a trail to a state park with a beach on the Nisqually Reach section of Pugent Sound...great for paddling and hiking! Last but not least, hot tub and outdoor shower for bathing under a starlit night sky was truly special!!!
