The Heron House

We enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and very clean with beautiful views. We had no trouble finding it and it was very well lit at night. The host called me 2 days before arrival which I appreciated.

Lovely property.

Beautiful cabin in the woods! Very clean, comfy beds. It was perfect for a family getaway!

Highly recommend this cabin. Well appointed and beautiful location.

This cabin was a great overnight stay on our road trip. Everything went very smoothly, with excellent communication from the host! Cabin was comfortable and well appointed with many unique touches.

The place is absolutely charming—beautiful, spotless, and perfectly located near the water. Everything you need is there to feel right at home. A big bonus: the kayaks are free to use and just a few steps away! Jennifer is incredibly kind and welcoming—be sure to say hi, even though self check-in is available. If you need anything before your arrival, it's best to call her directly, as she doesn’t check her email regularly. I’ll happily stay at her place again if I’m in the area, and I 100% recommend this little gem!

We loved staying at this beautiful property. We were very comfortable and enjoyed exploring the grounds a bit, too. I would definitely stay here upon a return to the area.

Beautiful property. Wonderful stay. Host were super generous with amenities and even provided guides and resources for us tourists!

Really an exceptionally beautiful little spot on the water with easy proximity to downtown Olympia by car - about 15 minutes. This cabin made a one-night business trip into a nice little respite away. Leave even time in between meetings for a beach walk!

Very nice place. Cozy cabin on the lake.

Peaceful. Charming. Lovely host.

Wunderschönes Häuschen im Wald direkt am See (eigentlich Meer). Super Bett.

We loved this beautiful and tastefully appointed cabin in Olympia. It was a great stopping point en route to the Oregon Coast for a camping trip, and our young kids enjoyed seeing the lake. It was very safe which was fantastic as we didnt see the need to unload our hitch and cargo box which made it much faster to carry on with our journey the next day. The hosts are fantastic and communicative; I would stay here again!

It's a lovely little log cabin in the woods. It is not right on the water, (you need to walk down a paved and well lit, albeit steep driveway) but there is a nice area to hang out by the water - they even have kayaks that you could use. My only 2 complaints are that A) it's really dark in the cabin and it would be well served by having more lamps (that work) and better bulbs. B) While there is a sink, full refrigerator, toaster oven and microwave. There's no range or oven, hence don't go buy expensive fresh fish and expect to cook it here.... Overall, it was quiet and private and set right in the woods. There is limited walking around the area as there are no sidewalks.

A beautiful place to stay. Really appreciated all the little extras in the cabin. Communication about check-in was given early and worked perfectly. We loved staying here!

The cabin shows pictures of water and a hammock along the shore. In reality the cabin sits up on a hill with 2 homes blocking the view. Through the trees you can see a little bit of the bay. Not good for ADA. We were there 4 nights and was only stocked with some muffins and old looking cereal. There was some fresh cherries and grapes. The toilet is very small, not standard size. Be prepared to back up on steep driveway to drive uphill from the cabin. It is a pretty cabin and it is in a nice location out of Olympia.

We had such a nice stay in the Heron House! The bed was very comfy, and both bathroom and kitchen were well stocked. We really enjoyed the view and appreciated how supportive they were with our check-in. This was the best stay of our trip and we will absolutely seek it out again for future trips to Shelton.

One of the most wonderful places we have ever stayed!

Very quiet and clean! We had a wonderful stay here.

This was a lovely, cozy log cabin near the water in Olympia. There were charming touches throughout the cabin that helped make the stay memorable. From a tiny carved wooden gnome face staring out from the stairs near the kitchen - to yummy fresh muffins in the fridge - all served to make a short stay enjoyable.
