10/10 Exceptional

We arrived late afternoon. Walked down to the water to check out the view. The owners live on the water at this location. Kayaks available to use but we did not. Drove into town and ate at the Iron Rabbit. Delicious. Picked up a couple snacks at the grocery store across the street. Enjoyed a movie in bed back at the house. Great view of the water from the window upstairs from laying in bed. Really nothing to complain about but just to mention. Couldn’t find the lights or bug zapper switch for the porch. Had to manual flush the toilet every time, Breakfast was cereal in jars. We really enjoyed this spot and would definitely stay again.

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.

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!

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!

8/10 Very good

Cabin not on the water.

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.

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.

Definitely booking a return stay!!

On arrival check in was a breeze, contactless and well communicated. We arrived at night and had our own illuminated parking lot feet from the cabin where we could easily back in and pull directly out of the driveway without intruding on anybody. The cabin itself sits at the top of the driveway from the main home and in a beautifully wooded property with privacy and a view. Inside the cabin was something to behold, a real log cabin with a kitchen stocked with all the plates, glasses, mugs and utensils needed for your stay. Jennifer left fresh fruits, muffins and a few refreshments in the fridge as well as a mixture of breakfast cereals on the counter. The private full bathroom downstairs was large and complete with a shower, mirror, shaving / makeup mirror, toilet and laundry room. Family and Dining room allowed us to put our feet up and enjoy our favorite streaming service on the tv. Upstairs loft offers a King Size soft bed that gave us an amazing sleep. In the morning we enjoyed our coffee on the porch with nature all around us, peaceful and a great way to start the morning. Our minds were blown when we walked inside this cozy A framed log cabin and we were already talking about booking longer stays for next time. Definitely booking a return stay!! Thank you to our hosts for their hospitality, professionalism and kindness! A+ stay

The place was excellent, my only complaint was the fact we could only stay 1 day. We were headed to Seattle to catch a cruise, and didn’t want to deal with the high prices, plus the World Cup was going on. This was only about a hour drive to Seattle, so it was perfect. The place was wonderfully kept, quiet location next to a lake, It had all the amenities you’d expect, and the owner Jennifer lives very near, so if you have any issues or questions she’s happy to help. Excellent accommodations we’d highly recommend A++
