About this property

Vintage Cabin on Lake Nahwatzel! Private dock and gorgeous views!

This 2 bedroom one bath cabin is located on the beautiful Lake Nahwatzel in Mason County. Lake Nahwatzel is one of the warmest lakes in western Washington due to the fact that it is partially fed by hot springs, and it is also opened to fishing year-round. This lake is considered to be one of the best bass-fishing lakes in western Washington during the summer months and is also stocked twice a year with rainbow trout. You can ski, jet ski, swim, boat and fish on this lake! This cabin is the perfect place to get away from the cares of the world, relax on the expansive deck, or sit on the private dock with your feet in the warm water. The vintage feel and decor of "Grampy's Cabin" is welcoming, and takes you back to the days of old, less worry and more fishing! Public boat launch is just past the cabin on the right - convenient for your water toys. There is one bedroom on the main level, and the loft above has 2 additional beds. The cabin is stocked with the necessities you will need, and a comfortable place to settle in. Fresh water is pumped into the home from the bottom of the lake for use in the sinks and bathroom, however it is not certified for drinking. Guests are asked to please bring their own drinking water. The home has wifi and a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows on your own account - and is ready for your visit! Come and experience The Cabin on Lake Nahwatzel! Please note that guests are required to complete the rental agreement attached, along with the 2 ID items listed on page 3 of the agreement within 24 hours of booking.

This place was perfect for my family of 5. We have a great time from the moment we arrived. If there was any question or concern the owner would immediately get back to us. Our stay was amazing. The home was exactly as advertised. We spent time outside on the deck grilling some food and time on the dock catching fish like there was no tomorrow. The kids loved playing in the loft and waking up to the great views. This place has given my family great memories. And we’re so thankful. We already can’t wait to come back! Thank you for the amazing service and letting us enjoy your cabin.

First visit to NW

We had a great time at at lake Nahwatzel and the area. We had four beautiful days hiking in the mountains and enjoying the clear clean lake water. The camp was cozy, a throw back in time to my youth.

Family stay at the lake

We had a great stay at the cabin for our anniversary. We love Lake N! We brought the kids with us this year. The kids caught some trout and we all went out on our paddle boards. Such a great weekend!

Sweet Little Cabin

We've been staying at this cabin once a year for a number of years now and have gotten to feel at home there. The additional parking spaces are a much appreciated addition. The view and location can't be beat. Great place to watch the stars at night after a day playing in the water. The property manager is local, and responds promptly to any requests. There is a fun little bar/restaurant just down the road within easy walking distance if you dont feel like cooking. If youre looking for a low key, reasonably priced lakefront stay you cant go wrong.

Beautiful view

We really enjoyed our stay. Beds were very comfortable. Had everything we needed. There were a few drawbacks- wooden stairs down to the lake are a bit slippery when wet, so be careful. Railing to hold onto at the final descent to the dock would be helpful. Also, parking for a boat trailer is not ideal, although it is doable.

Fall birthday with a view

My husband booked this trip for our family and it was probably the best birthday Ever! The view of the lake was amazing, the kids had fun fishing, swimming(even though it was kind of chilly) and we were so relaxed. Our family lives in the area so they were show us around even more! The folks at The Resort were friendly and the food was great! The only thing....is the road can be a bit busy and noisy. If you are pulling out of the driveway be careful, but other than that!? It was Perfect.

Lake Nahwatzel....Great place, wonderf location!!

To summarize the cabin....perfect! My girlfriend and three kids loved it! The loft with two queens was the perfect spot for the kids and the single bedroom downstairs was perfect doe us adults. The view was spectacular, the water was warm but cold at the same time. Perfect to cool you of in the 90° heat we had but not freezing.....there were plenty of fish if you wanted to go fishing. The sunsets were beautiful.....I will definitely go back!!

Perfect cabin for lake fun!

The cabin had everything we needed. We brought our own cooking and drinking water. The property was also clean and indestructible, but it’s really all about wonderful lake nahwatzel the water is clean and warm. We brought our canoe and kayaks but mostly swam off the dock. Our family had an amazing 5 day vacation and we can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Stay

The cabin was exactly as described; cozy, relaxing, clean and perfect for a family get-a-way. The neighbors on each side of the home were very kind and welcoming even though we were just tourists for a week. The lake was great for swimming, paddle boarding, jet skiing and fishing. The communication from the property manager was top notch and overall we couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. We would definitely recommend Grampy's Cabin!

Beautiful Setting

We brought our two grandsons for 4 nights. They had fun swimming and jumping off the dock. We caught enough fish to keep it interesting. The boys each had a full size bed upstairs and we had a room downstairs. We brought our little boat and were able to tie it to the dock for easy access. A great trip for all!!

Nice clean place with a great view.

The only negative things are: The driveway is very steep and it is just off the road, so it was challenging to get in and out of the property. Also there was quite a bit of road noise. And not having potable water was an incovenience.

Not as advertised

We rented a vacation rental on Nawatzel lake for 3 nights which wasn't as advertised. The amenities listed satellite/ cable TV which there was none. We were expected to stream using our accounts. They have changed the amenities since our visit. Contacted the property manager prior to arriving to ask about parking for our 19 foot bass boat and she stated there is room. There is room but the property manager failed to mention the narrowness and angle of the driveway off the road and the result was scrapped paint on the bottom of our 2 month new boat trailer and it didn't have a boat on it... thank God. Low vehicle's beware.The instruction book was not accurate and read take your garbage with you. Instead of listening to our concerns the property manager continued to talk about past guest experience I guess we expected more for the large amount paid. There are better rentals on the lake.
