Testimonials
“Alaina and Brendan’s wedding at Larkin Place was a truly stunning event. The venue’s natural beauty and rustic charm provided the perfect setting for the couple’s special day. As a wedding photographer, I feel lucky to have been able to capture the love and joy of this beautiful couple at such a unique and beautiful venue. And can we just take a moment to appreciate how cute those tree houses were? I’m a big fan.” - Jason Goldfarb, Seattle photographer.
“Everything about it - the artistry, craftsmanship, location, etc., is just glorious. I felt like I was somewhere in Middle Earth relishing in my surroundings. I also caught awesome footage of a barred owl that was casually hanging out during daylight, on the land. When an elusive, wild creature like an owl feels comfortable and safe enough to be within a few feet of you, it tells you everything you need to know about the stewards of such a place. Must see, must experience, just exceptional.”
-Mary from Crockett, CA
“This was a truly magical place that the owners have put a lot of time, sweat and heart into. Consider it an honor to be able to enjoy such a gem. Larkins are very hospitable hosts and the accommodations and setting are a dream.”
- Vanessa from Santa Barbara, CA
“A perfect place to celebrate my partner’s 40th birthday. It was so nice strolling the grounds... and just being peaceful. The space was quiet, secluded and BEAUTIFUL. We can't wait to return and have already recommended the place to many others!”
-Reid from Seattle, WA

Larkin Place is located in the Nisqually Valley east of Olympia, Washington. We are a husband and wife team specializing in creating harmonious spaces within our small, protected forest of 14 acres. Our aim is to preserve this land and share it with those who value nature and the healing benefits it delivers. We hope our work inspire others to renew and protect what we have left and find ways to leave a better world behind. Proceeds help us care for this land with future plantings, forest maintenance, and creating a magical place for our guests to celebrate love and feel rejuvenated.
We hope to meet you some day! - Sean & Michelle Larkin
