Amazing stay!!

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.

Cozy Log Cabin

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.
Catherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting. Helpful owner left thoughtful snacks and extra toiletries. I would definitely come back!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable stay! The Heron house is a quiet cottage with plenty of room for a couple seeking a getaway. Continental breakfast was a nice touch, and the cabin had all the modern amenities one could need. Short walk to lakeside access, ran into Chris (owner) and he was a gracious host who welcomed us to the grounds. Would definitely stay again if we come visit the Shelton, WA area!
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place really was a gem of a find. It was way better than we expected. We seriously considered looking into to changing our plans to stay longer, but decided there were too many other dependencies on our schedule to move forward with that idea. We WILL, however, be booking a longer visit on a future trip to the area... no doubt! Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay!
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My husband, my son and I stayed at the cabin for 2 nights. We were amazed at how beautiful the cabin is and so comfortable. The air up mattress we did not know until arrival, but my teen age son had no issues sleeping on it except it kept going somewhat flat. Really enjoyed the continental breakfast, muffin, orange juice, cereal, and fruit. Loved the view of the water from the cabin just not within walking distance as we hoped. Would stay at the Heron House again if we are in Washington.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Heron House is a wonderful place to stay. A couple of clarifications to the Expedia listing for this property: it says two queen beds but one of the queen beds is a blowup bed on the living room floor. You should also know that there are steep steps to the front door and also steep stairs to the loft queen bed. Bathroom is on the main floor. If stairs or blowup beds are a problem this will not be the best choice for you. We had a wonderful stay. The continental breakfast in the fridge is a nice touch. Fully equipped kitchen is well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.
Jane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Beautiful Cabin!

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

Hidden Gem Near the Water — Feels Like Home

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.

Work/Life BALANCE

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!
