Highly recommend this cabin. Well appointed and beautiful location.
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.
We were thrilled to stay in this gorgeous little cabin - decorated with such amazing detail - a real treat for this Aussie family of 4. So quiet and secluded. Loved the position overlooking the lake. A fantastic experience thank you.
We enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and very clean with beautiful views. We had no trouble finding it and it was very well lit at night. The host called me 2 days before arrival which I appreciated.
This cabin was a great overnight stay on our road trip. Everything went very smoothly, with excellent communication from the host! Cabin was comfortable and well appointed with many unique touches.
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.
A beautiful place to stay. Really appreciated all the little extras in the cabin. Communication about check-in was given early and worked perfectly. We loved staying here!
This place was worth every cent. It was beautiful and so well stocked with anything you might need or want. We will be back so many more times, for sure!
