From Tumwater Hill to the Capitol Boulevard corridor — premium boarding and training just 22 minutes south on I-5 at our 15-acre family-owned resort.
Tumwater has always been a city of small-town charm with big-city convenience — the historic Olympia Brewery district, the falls and waterfront walk through Tumwater Falls Park, the established neighborhoods up on Tumwater Hill, and the busy Capitol Boulevard commercial strip that connects everyone to Olympia. It's the kind of community where dogs are part of the family, not an afterthought, which is exactly why so many Tumwater residents take the time to find the right boarding and training facility instead of settling.
That's where we come in. EdelHaus Pet Resort is just 22 minutes south of Tumwater, an easy I-5 drive that puts you at the gate of a 15-acre family-owned operation with three decades of experience caring for dogs of every breed and size. Whether your Tumwater Hill golden retriever needs a long weekend stay while you head to the coast, or your new puppy needs serious obedience work before you lose your sanity, we've been doing this longer than most boarding places have been in business.
Tumwater families love that we're a real, hands-on family operation. When you call, you talk to people who actually know your dog. When you drop off, the same people who answered the phone are the ones walking your dog to their kennel. That kind of continuity is rare in the boarding world — and after 30 years, it's exactly why generations of Tumwater customers keep coming back.
Boarding, training, and pick-up & drop-off — all built for Tumwater family schedules.
12 indoor/outdoor kennels and 7 luxury suites with heated floors and ceiling fans. The closest premium dog boarding to most Tumwater neighborhoods — and the only one within 25 minutes that combines a luxury suite option with 15 acres of run space.
Learn About Boarding →Tumwater puppies and young dogs do incredibly well in our board-and-train program. Drop your dog off for a structured stay and pick up a noticeably better-behaved companion. Decades of proven results across every breed and energy level.

"We tried two boarding places in the Olympia/Tumwater area before finding EdelHaus, and the difference is night and day. Our boy actually pulls toward the door now when we pull up. The drive from Tumwater Hill is nothing — well worth it for how relaxed we feel leaving him there."
