Great Family Getaway
Our family enjoyed a great getaway at Blue Heron. The property was clean and had all of the extras like soap/shampoo, dish soap, trash bags, and even some spices. The owners went the extra mile and even had some bakery goods delivered on our first day! The neighborhood was fun and the kids enjoyed the beach, playground, and lake. I enjoyed watching the deer and relaxing on the screened-in porches. This is definitely a place we would stay again if we returned to the area!

Home away from home
Upon arrival, the check-in process was seamless. We received the access information several hour before check in. The home was very clean and the aesthetics of the home is definitely comfortable and considerate for large groups. The decor was very intentional and felt cozy. Many throws blankets are available throughout the home for comfort. There are a few nooks throughout the home for a quiet reading or work space. There are books and an abundance of games and sporting equipment to be accessed. One of my favor features was a guest book where you can review past visitors experience and a space for you to create your own. That was the perfect touch .

Summer visit
Lot's of bedrooms for a large party to spread out. Very functional kitchen area and lots of space to relax in the dinning room and front porch. Nice easy walk to the swimming area and pool. Great quiet street perfect for kids to play in the yards and to practice riding bikes. Also great area for any one of any age to bike around and enjoy the quiet neighborhoods. Good communication from the host. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location, thoughtful hosts
The cabin was beautifully renovated - comfy beds, spacious, modern decor. A few quirks that come with an older house but overall would recommend! We enjoyed the area - short walk to the beach/pool, quick drive to many attractions, quiet neighborhood, the kids loved seeing the deer wandering around. The hosts were very thoughtful - games for the kids, beach chairs to use, some delicious local baked goods as a welcome gift.
