House is comfortable and beautiful! Beds comfortable, roomy kitchen and beautiful views. Everything went almost well. Luckily, I contacted Carla to inquire if I could leave some of our things outside a couple of hours early because we needed the vehicle space and wouldn't be back till later. For some reason she did not remember we were coming, so be sure and double-check before you arrive. Part of the house and property seemed to be in the middle of a renovation, and I am sure it will be more amazing when done! The hand soap in the bathroom was empty, and Carla's husband graciously came to install a thermostat so we could have central heat instead of portable heaters. I'm sure these things won't happen to others, though. I think our visit was just a surprise. All things considering, we would definitely come back and stay if we were ever in the area.
By the way, we LOVED the Masonry Cafe at the Old Firehouse in Yelm. Great ambience, service, food, homemade desserts/pastries, and coffee!
