Charming Two Herons Cottage, a Puget Sound vacation home 22 minutes from Olympia, Washington:
Quiet, serene, calm, romantic, soothing
Fresh coffee in hand while you watch the fog lifts off the water … Seals splashing in the distance … An afghan thrown over your legs … A heron standing guard on the shore … The tide going out to starfish, spitting clams, and shells. . . Two kayakers drifting with the current … It’s the quiet you remember most. A year ‘round getaway. A refuge from the everyday.
The views of fir, cedar, and madrone trees are backed by the shimmering waters of Puget Sound, jumping salmon, herons, eagle, and ducks to entertain you at.
