Old Pine is our family’s humble waterfront cabin; a perfect getaway.

Once you are on Sandy Point Beach Road, keep an eye out for herons, ducks and eagles in the marsh before heading up the hill to our property. This is a bird-watcher's paradise!

Additional Information
Look for the big red mailbox with the row-boat-flower-bed marking our driveway! Parking is available anywhere on the gravel parts of the driveway or under the carport. The lockbox code will be sent with your confirmed reservation.
Once you settle in, watch for bald eagles flying by daily over the Puget Sound, or an occasional seal or river otter.
With newly improved beach access and a meditation deck --- you can enjoy coffee with a view or keep track of the tide charts for beachcombing. At low tide, you may see geoduck farmers working the farms on the neighboring beach properties -- in case you are wondering what all the nets or pipes are, it's just some local shellfish farming! Enjoy walking along the beach on low tides, and you may catch a glimpse of the majestic volcano Mt. Tahoma (Mt. Rainier) out to the right.
While the house does not have any stairs for entry, is not super accessible for wheelchairs, with narrow hallways. We do not have wheelchair-accessible beach access, but Tolmie state park nearby does.
Your host, Jess, is available by phone to help with anything when needed, or can come in person for emergencies.
It's best to have a car in order to stay here, since there are no amenities within short walking distance. There is (newly) Uber/Lyft to and from Lacey or Olympia.
- Shoes off inside please :) this helps so much with keeping the Sandy Beach soil outside. There is a shoe rack outside and in the hallway.
-Phone service is spotty
- WiFi is available
- We run on a well so please be conscious with water, especially in the dry summer months.
- Septic System in use, so please only flush bodily waste. We appreciate throwing all toilet paper away, when you remember!
- Use caution near the bank and on the beach, supervise your children (and yourself, especially late at night), the bank steps are steep and deck can occasionally be slippery.
- Please obey local burn bans in summer.
- Please bring your own wood for the fire pit (please do not burn wood from the property.)
- Please report all spills, accidents, breaks, etc so we can be sure to clean or replace items properly.
- Please treat our home as if it were your own, leaving it as you found it. <3

The old Pine cabin was everything I needed this week. The serene surroundings, access to the beach, office space and cozy bedroom were so welcoming and warm. It was so fun to spend a work from home week at this cabin. The thoughtfulness that Jessica put into this home was incredible.

I have lived in Seattle (born and raised), San Francisco (SF State), New York, San Diego, and Olympia, WA. I love the outdoors and traveling. I'm most happy when I'm in the woods hiking, exploring, rowing, listening to music, and hanging with people I love. I am a food lover, dig local/sustainable farm to table, and enjoy a local farmer's market. An appreciator of art and design, I have my own quirky little style. I always try to leave the places I stay a little bit neater than when I got there (my mom taught me that's the way to be invited back!) All people are welcome at my little cabin // I'm a queer (queer + trans loving) host :) . It's so very nice to meet you!

Kayak In Dogfish Bight
Walk down the stairs to the bay called Dogfish Bight, a wonderful area for Kayaking with harbor seals, river otters, jellyfish, bald eagles fishing for their meals, cormorants, sea gulls, and other waterfowl. Enjoy the salty air and sunshine; inexperienced kayakers make efforts to stay to left (against the current.)

Tolmie State Park Beach Hike And Exploration
After grabbing a coffee, a short hike along the beach sounded like the perfect idea and Tolmie State Park delivered. The hikes around Tolmie go in various directions, all with gorgeous views of the islands, and there was plenty of wildlife too. Definitely an essential stop while in the area.
Juniper Coffee House
I love me a coffee and pastry when on an adventure! The green-eggs-and-ham croissant was the go-to that day, along with a caramel macchiato for my adventure energy boost.
Complete The Day With A Whitewood Cider Co Tasting Flight
The tiniest taproom I have ever seen, but the biggest flavours. Yes, I left with a bottle because I had to! This little tasting room is great for cider lovers. The flight was huge, so thank goodness there were food trucks around with amazing food. The friendly atmosphere and amazing cider were just what I wanted to finish off the day.
Stroll The Wa State Capital Building
While in town for lunch and drinks, I decided to stop for a walk through the Capital of Washington State. The building is open to the public and full of beautiful marble and chandeliers. It's a quick stop, but pretty cool if you're interested in Washington State's history.
Fishing At Harts Lake
Harts Lake is open year-round and offers good harvest opportunity for stocked rainbow trout. The lake also supports naturally reproducing populations of largemouth bass, yellow perch, black crappie, brown bullhead catfish, bluegill sunfish, and pumpkinseed sunfish.
Hood Canal Sunsets
Hood Canal is known for its spectacular sunsets, Olympic Mountain views, and rainbows.
