Heron Haus was just what we needed! Waking up to the sunrise over the water was magical. The home was cozy, clean and well appointed. We would stay here again!

Beach house

Overall it was pretty good. Check in was easy. The house itself and the property was really good atmosphere. You have everything you need for cooking and eating. I wish there was one more bathroom but we managed.

Look forward to our return!

Hosts were great at staying in touch with anything we needed. First morning my son and I went fishing and while on the water my wife texted "seriously this place could not be any more perfect!" The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and we loved the views and layout of the home. Cant wait to return!

PNW Oasis

It was stunning! It felt very soul healing! So many herons, sea lions, ferries and eagles! I could sit on the deck all day! The hot tub was delightful! The hosts thought of everything! 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful weekend

Spent a long weekend with my wife at Heron Haus. It was a beautiful home with amazing views. Alex and Colleen were kind and helpful and responsive. Had no issues at all. Highly recommend booking a massage from Salt and Sage, Taryn was incredible. Can't wait to go back and stay at Heron Haus again sometime soon!

Incredibly relaxing and close to so much!

We flew all the way across the country to see something new, relax, and experience Seattle. We found the Heron Haus to be the perfect place for us! The cottage is lovely through and through and Alex and Colleen shared many thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. When we needed recommendations for where to get great seafood, they were quick to reply. There were incredible woods walks within a short walking distance from the house, the ferry to Seattle was easy to catch, and the truth is we would have been happy sitting on the deck watching seals and eagles and the ferries for the whole time. It exceeded our expectations!

Delightful!

If anything, the lovely photos of Heron Haus don't do justice to how beautiful it is there. You can tell how thoughtfully the owners decorated and provided all the essentials for a relaxing stay. The house has been updated so nicely but keeps some of that vintage charm. Watching the ferries never gets old and when the sun came out, hello, Mt. Rainier! We were happy to have a good grill onsite and grilled up dinner for friends. Took a soak in the hot tub one night. We'll be back!

Beautiful waterfront spot

This property is beautiful and very unique. It's right on the water, it's very modern and Scandinavian looking. We visited in the Winter, and the hot tub was amazing. Lots of stars, and sea life. Otters, sea lions, birds and more. The area is very quiet. About 15 minute drive to restaurants. Loved the area. Only issues we had-ran out of hot tub cleaning powder on our first day...surprised they wouldn't have a back up. And both coffee makers hadn't been cleaned. Other than those two small hiccups, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Great linens and towels. Loved the shower. And a quick response from the owner. We'll def return!

Thank you for the feedback, we greatly appreciate it. Since your stay, we've changed cleaning companies for better consistency with the coffee pot and espresso maker, and we've stockpiled the spa shock. We hope to host you again in the future.

Amazing Getaway!

Absolutely beautiful property - Colleen & Alex were super responsive the entire stay, and went out of their way to make sure me and my family were comfortable. If you're visiting Seattle during your stay definitely recommend coordinating with the Ferry schedule vs driving all the way around, but would absolutely stay at this property again!
