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.

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.

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.

Lovely cabin but description stated two queen size beds. The second bed is a blowup bed in living room which should have been clearly stated in description. Owners should consider getting a queen hideabed sofa instead. Pulling out and inflating an inflatable bed is akward in the small area which is what we had to do with 3 adults.

The most amazing little cabin next to the Sound. Continental breakfast for two with the most amazing conscientious touches throughout. Will hopefully stay here again in the future!

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

Thank you for everything! The cabin was amazing in every way. There was plenty of space for my family of 3, great breakfast selection waiting in the refrigerator, and if was overall just a comfortable place to spend a weekend. We loved it.

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.

Amazing place to stay, the area is amazing, you have beach access down the drive, the hosts were amazing. We wish we would have had more time to explore the inlet and use some of the amenities that The Heron House had to offer. We will be back next time we are in Olympia.
