Welcome to your own Pacific Northwest retreat. This beautifully renovated A-frame tiny home is nestled on a peaceful cul-de-sac in Olympia, Washington, and offers a rare blend of rustic cabin charm and modern, move-in-ready comfort. Whether you are drawn to the minimalist lifestyle, love unique architecture, or simply want a cozy place to call home, this one of a kind 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom rental delivers on every front. Step through the eye catching yellow front door and you will immediately feel the warmth of the stunning tongue-and-groove knotty pine walls and soaring A-frame ceilings. Three oversized skylights flood the interior with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that belies the home's compact footprint. The open-concept main level features brand-new laminate flooring and flows seamlessly from the living area into a fully updated kitchen, complete with new quartz countertops, new cabinetry, a stainless steel sink, and a black range and stove. A stylish sliding barn door with matte black hardware leads to the tiled bathroom, which includes a beautifully tiled walk in shower. A full staircase with a sturdy railing not a ladder leads up to the spacious loft bedroom, finished in gorgeous tongue-and-groove wood with a window and skylight for natural ventilation and light. This is a loft that feels like a true bedroom, not an afterthought. Comfort is guaranteed year-round thanks to the energy-efficient ductless mini-split system, which provides both heating and air conditioning. The home also includes an in-unit washer and dryer, so there is no need to leave home for laundry day. Recessed lighting throughout the interior adds a clean, modern touch. Step outside to enjoy the brand-new wood deck off the rear of the home perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or simply soaking in the quiet, wooded surroundings. The nearly quarter-acre lot (10,580 sq ft) provides a surprisingly large, grassy backyard with a stone retaining wall, plus a separate storage shed for bikes, tools, or seasonal gear. Mature evergreen and deciduous trees surround the property, creating a private, nature-filled setting that feels worlds away from the city yet you are just minutes from everything you need. As part of the Evergreen Shores community, residents enjoy exclusive access to a private 11-acre lakefront park on beautiful Black Lake, featuring a clubhouse, seasonal swimming pool, basketball court, playground, covered cook shed and picnic area, boat launch, fishing dock, and lake swimming access. Whether you love kayaking, fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water, Black Lake is right at your doorstep. The location is equally convenient for commuters and daily errands. Interstate 5 is just minutes away, providing quick access to downtown Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping are all nearby along Black Lake Boulevard. Tenant pays all utilities and garbage. Do not miss this rare opportunity to rent a truly unique A-frame tiny home in one of Olympia's most charming lakeside communities. Schedule your showing today.
