Nice cabin with pretty lake access

We enjoyed our stay here. The home provided the perfect space for our family to relax and enjoy the local trails. The listing stated laundry access was nearby, which I took to mean somewhere on site. We ended up having to drive 40 minutes each way because the one 20-25 minutes away closed earlier. Make sure to plan for that.

Lake Stay

We had a great experience at the cabins at Nahwatzel Lake. Kids and adults all had fun together with lots of water activities. The cabin was perfect for cooking and feeding our crew. The owners were immediate in their response to questions which helped us have a carefree relaxing stay!!

The property is beautiful and well maintained. We used it for a weekend getaway from Seattle and it was perfect for it. The only slight criticism I have is that there wasn't clear communication about some details of the property. I'm used to places like these having a binder of printout with basic information like the Wi-Fi password, the checkout procedure, how the heating works etc. The only information here was the Wi-Fi password, and that was so well hidden that I eventually gave up and contacted the owner, only to find it a few minutes later.

Nice Home by the Water

We enjoyed our time here. Very quiet. The public dock was steps away. The restaurant close by was closed, so we had to go into town for food as we thought we’d just eat there. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Shelton has some cute places to visit. The Wilde Irish Pub had excellent fish and chips and a full bar. But a lot of shops and restaurants are also closed Monday and Tuesdays. The bathtub in the primary bedroom didn’t have a water spout for a bath, which was odd. But the shower worked fine. Everything was very clean and comfortable!

Disliked: Communication
We selected this property because it is pet-friendly, though ended up not bringing our dogs after all. The cabin was roomy enough for four adults and cleanish. Given we were only there one night, and arrived late after Thanksgiving with friends in the area, we did not take advantage of the location, which I'm sure is fantastic in the summer.Unfortunately, it did not make for the best winter stay. When we arrived, the heat was not on - it was colder than 60 degrees, and it took a while for us to figure out the wall heating units. This is the first time I've ever arrived to a VRBO that did not already have the temperature set at a comfortable level. There is also no binder for guests (as noted in another review). Which made the heating confusion a bit more challenging. We were ultimately able to get the place heated, but the bathroom in the primary bedroom never warmed up, making the prospect of a shower quite unappetizing.Again - if we were traveling in summer and enjoying the lake, I'm sure we would have appreciated our stay more. As it was, the cabin felt a bit like an off-season afterthought, like nobody had been by in a while. Compared to the VRBO we stayed in last year at the same time, which was heated and well-equipped, this felt rustic.

A pleasant surprise to find the accommodation was actually as nice as the photos (which is sadly rare in a lot of holiday homes). Very clean, nice, and comfortable, And roomier than expected. Pip and Tanya, at the pub restaurant next door, were welcoming and helpful when we arrived and friendly throughout our stay. Plus the pizzas were huge and tasty. There was a great little band playing to about 6pm on the Sunday evening we arrived, and it was quiet and peaceful for the rest of our stay. It's a 1minute walk from the front door to water, and the lake was great for paddleboarding. My only complaint is that it was advertised as having Wi-Fi, but half the time it wouldn't connect, and when it did it constantly disconnected within minutes. Which was frustrating and did ruin plans as we had arranged a family video call and I missed out on income as I was unable to work the few hours a day I had planned to do. I did message the owner about it being an issue but it didn't improve. So, if you need Wi-Fi, this isn't the place. But if you don't, this is a great little getaway!

Cabin 3

We took a quick 2 night stay. I grew up playing at the lake, and wanted to get to come back with my kids. Cabin 3 was cute, comfortable and had more than enough space for my family of five & 2 dogs. We took our little drift boat at did some fishing. First day was too windy for much success but the second morning we got two beautiful trout for breakfast. We swam all day & soaked in the view. Going on a Sunday night/early in the week is a great option if you want some quiet- the lake can get really busy on weekends. Communication with the host was easy and pleasant. The cabin was stocked with pretty much everything you need except food and a phone charger. They even have a basket with microwave popcorn, cider, & cocoa besides supplying coffee. The cabin was very clean, and the beds are very comfortable! It was a great stay & lovely mini vacation.

Great jumping off point to the Oly Pen

Cabin 3 was quite spacious, with everything needed for a relaxing stay. We booked for our wedding anniversary with plans to explore the Olympic Peninsula and have some down time. Lake Nahwatzel was a great pick, since it allowed us to explore both the Pacific side of the park/forest, as well as the eastern side. The restaurant was also a nice surprise. They had a great variety of options and the service was very friendly. Unlike a lot of small towns, the staff didn't make you feel like an outsider. On the contrary, Tanya, Warren, and the rest of the team were incredibly accommodating. One thing to note: Lake access is extremely limited. There's a very narrow path down to the dock (between two private properties) and a public access area that's no bigger than a boat launch and another small dock. If you plan on fishing, you'll probably want to bring/rent a boat. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great time. Just a few things. Not enough towels for 6 people, only 4 towels. There were no extra garbage bags and we didnt know where to throw it away. The towel seat in the master was cracked and broken, hurt to use it. Outside had harbage and broken glass. Only 4 rolls of toliet paper, need more for guessed of 6. Please replace all light bulbs, alot missing. Under kitchen sink, leaked water. It would be nice for the property to be cleaned up with no weeds. The beds were very nice amd soft. The kitchen was big and was able to have family over for big dinners. Loved the sunsets, you can never put a price on that. We will be coming back next year. Thank you so much.
