Shelton, Washington
Welcome to Sunrise Cabin at beautiful Lake Nahwatzel in Mason County, Washington. Lake Nahwatzel is a unique gem that is nestled at the base of the foothills of the Olympic Mountains. The Lake is located in the middle of vast timberlands on the edge of the Olympic National Forest and was an integral part of the early days of logging. We who are lucky enough to live here feel blessed that our piece of paradise is far enough away from the bustle of the state capital Olympia, but close enough to take advantage of the many amenities available in the more urban areas.
Lake Nahwatzel is home to eagles and osprey, deer and elk, beavers and otters and everything in between. Though summer is the time most people think of summer activities like swimming, kayaking and fishing, winter has it's own charm when the swans, shorebirds and other migrating birds arrive. Winter is quiet, serene and peaceful, you can imagine the rest of the world no longer exists. In the spring, if you are lucky, you will hear the haunting call of the loon.

We are extra fortunate, because we are the last house at the end of the road; and nothing and no one are beyond us for many miles. If you are looking for solitude, or fun on the water, look here! Read a book, take out a canoe, plunk a fishing lure into the water off the cabins private pier, or explore the many sights of the Olympic Peninsula, using this as a starting or stopping point. You can take the ferry to Seattle, visit Mt. Rainier, discover our state capital, or snuggle in and hide from the world.
This is a generational family owned home, with good potable water, bordered by private forest without traffic and plenty of peace!
We look forward to sharing our special space with you. We have tried to make the cabin inviting, comfortable and up to date for you. Enjoy!
Sunrise cabin was exactly what we were looking for to spend our child-free anniversary weekend away! (Although our kids would have loved it too) It was an absolute gem. We loved being able to just wake up and go fishing off the dock or go out on our paddle board and the kayaks. We enjoyed hiking in the area too. The hosts, Dave and Betsy, are so sweet and accommodating. We definitely plan to visit again!
We rented this cabin with our two grandsons, 12 and 13. They had a blast canoeing and kyaking. The hosts Dave and Betsy were on site to assist with any needs or questions we had. The cabin was top notch-- very clean and well stocked with so many items we needed. The boys enjoyed fishing and caught a few too. I highly recommend this vacation cabin.
This was the best get away we have had. We like to just get away for a weekend every couple of months just to unplug and this was perfect!
The huge deck is what sold me! The view and the sounds of the water on the shore were so relaxing. We enjoyed a lap around the lake on the kayaks, a game of scrabble on the deck followed by a glass of wine at sunset. The movies we watched at night with some of the treats supplied were a blast from the past! The only thing we missed out on was a day hike because it was bear cub season and a nighttime fire because of dry conditions which they had no control over. Dave and Betsy were very friendly and made us feel welcome.
Had a great time away from the city. I was able to fish off the dock. My partner and I also were able to use the canoe that was available. It actually inspired us to look into getting one of our own. Overall had a relaxing time on the lake and look forward to another visit in the future.
Very helpful and friendly hosts and a lovely property. We plan to return.
From the moment we walked in, we were grinning. Everything about it met or exceeded or expectation. And the host (as well as the owners) could not have been more helpful. Wish I could have boxed it up and brought it home with me.
We had an amazing week at Sunrise Cabin on Lake Nahwatzel. The cabin is nicely furnished, supplies were plentiful, and the owners were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe, fishing off the dock, swimming, hiking on the road through the woods, eating our meals on the deck, and day trips to a local fish hatchery and Olympic National Park. Everything was well maintained and clean, ready for our wonderful vacation. We'd definitely like to stay here again.
Wonderful spot on the lake for our small family.
We (myself, spouse, and 2 kids ages 10 and 6) had a wonderful week. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe and the peacefulness of the lake. We will definitely return. One of our favorite weeks away from home in years.
As listed, a beautiful retreat on the lake. We enjoyed the views, the peace and tranquility of a few days away to disconnect from day to day life.
