3 - Heron House Distinctive Lakefront Lodging w/Deck, Kayaks & Firepits

Welcome to Heron House at Haven on Lake Steilacoom — a distinctive 1920 lakefront home, completely remodeled in 2026 for modern comfort while preserving the character that makes it unforgettable. With three bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms, generous gathering spaces, and a private lake-facing deck, Heron House is designed for families and friends who want to reconnect in a setting that feels both relaxed and exceptional.

Historic character, beautifully renewed.
Shiplap-clad walls and ceilings bring texture, warmth, and a sense of history throughout the home. Thoughtful finishes, natural materials, and an airy, organic palette create a setting that feels elevated but welcoming—never overly polished or precious.

The lake is always part of the experience.
Expansive windows draw the water into the living and dining spaces, while French doors open to the private deck. Watch the light move across Lake Steilacoom, spot eagles overhead, and enjoy the rare feeling of being connected to the outdoors even while curled up beside the fireplace.

Room to gather without feeling crowded.
The light-filled living room offers generous seating for conversation, movie nights, and slow mornings with coffee. The original fireplace adds warmth and character, while the open connection to the dining area allows everyone to spend time together comfortably.

A kitchen with charm—and everything you need.
The beautifully remodeled galley kitchen combines vintage character with modern function. Heated tile flooring adds warmth underfoot, while quality appliances and an abundantly stocked kitchen make cooking a pleasure. You’ll find sharp knives, quality cookware, oils, spices, and a complete coffee and tea setup for everything from easy breakfasts to celebratory lakefront dinners.

Two bathrooms designed as private retreats.
Both remodeled bathrooms feature luxe tilework, heated marble floors, premium towels, and carefully selected toiletries. Oversized rain shower heads and body wands turn an everyday shower into a restorative experience. The primary bedroom enjoys its own private bathroom, while the second full bath includes a tub-and-shower combination.

Three restful bedrooms.
The lake-facing primary suite features a king bed, premium linens, blackout window coverings, a private bathroom, and French doors opening directly to the deck. A peaceful queen bedroom and a charming third bedroom with a trundle provide comfortable, thoughtfully appointed sleeping spaces for families or friends traveling together.

Private outdoor living with a front-row lake view.
Heron House has its own private entrance and expansive private deck with multiple seating areas, outdoor dining, and a BBQ. Begin the morning with coffee overlooking the water, gather for dinner outside, or settle in with a glass of wine as the evening light moves across the lake.

Nearly an acre of lakefront to explore.
Beyond the private deck, Haven’s shared park-like grounds extend to the water. Launch a kayak or paddleboard, swim, fish, relax in a hammock, or gather around a firepit after sunset. The setting offers countless ways to enjoy the lake, with Heron House as your private home base.

Comfortable for weekends, workdays, and longer stays.
Fast, dedicated WiFi provides a dependable connection for remote work and streaming. Central heating and air conditioning, a smart TV, sound system, full-size laundry, plush towels, cozy throws, and thoughtful essentials throughout the home make longer visits every bit as comfortable as a weekend escape.

Heron House is more than beautiful lakefront lodging. It is a gracious, character-filled home for long dinners, slow mornings, laughter by the fire, and days shaped by the water.

Historic soul, modern luxury—and a front-row seat on Lake Steilacoom.
