Two Herons Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Framed by the effortless beauty of the Puget Sound and fir, cedar, and madrone trees, sits Two Herons Cottage. Offering a quintessential beach cottage within quick driving distance of West Olympia, this property is about 275 feet from the water, boasts shared beach access, and offers an idyllic landing pad for your next family trip, romantic getaway, or business trip.
During your stay, enjoy the large grassy lawn and comfortable sitting areas overlooking the sound. Kayaks are available for gleaming rides across the water, and the gas grill ensures inevitable cookouts. The outdoor living extends to the two spacious decks and firepit. When you aren't enjoying the peace and quiet of your stay, take a quick day trip to the Washington Beaches, downtown Olympia, or even Olympic National Park. A ferry ride to Seattle is easily achievable when you want to indulge in big-city living!
Well-adorned for a comfortable stay, the interior of Two Herons Cottage boasts warm wood finishes and modern appliances. The living room presents a cozy spot to sit back and stream your favorite TV shows and movies. When you aren't indulging in the surrounding area's culinary scene, the well-equipped kitchen boasts granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Taylor Shellfish is just down the road and offers a great spot to pick up fresh seafood to prepare at home!
Additional interior amenities you'll appreciate include partial air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, internet access, and an EV charger.
