Great location on the lake, great views. Clean. Friendly. Love the boardwalk bar & grill - good food, live music on weekends. Down to earth atmosphere and friendly people. And "dog friendly". Can rent a pontoon boat at the front desk.We will be back!

Careless

It's a small place and the service staff was attentive, so I'll give them that. But otherwise, the place was defined by carelessness. The remote control in my room was missing. The inside of the cabinet was dusty. But most of all the curtains and blinds in my room just didn't work. When the air conditioner was on ,they blew them up and out so the first floor window was functionally not private. And they did not keep the sun out whatsoever. The room was bright by 6am and I was unable to get a full night's sleep.

It was a beautiful place to stay. The staff was very nice. Had a problem with losing hot water while I was in the shower. My boyfriend asked how long we would be out of hot water and the response was that it would not be long…… all said and done, an hour later I had to pack up my stuff then go downstairs and up another set of steps to finally finished my shower! Then had to pack everything back up and go back to my room..it took them over 4 hours to get hot water back. The staff was wonderful. It kinda seemed that the staff was not notified about the hot water heater being replaced.

There was a cute outdoor bar. The staff was nice, but the overall property wasn’t as clean as i expected. There was a used bar of soap in shower. The beds were squeaky also.

The patio area facing the Lake View was very nice and a great place for dinner. Two very good restaurant options, and there are boat rentals on site reasonably priced.The staff was very pleasant and the breakfast was good. The only drawback (minor) is there is no elevator. I was very glad we chose to stay here for our softball tournament vs the hotel across the street!

The Blue Heron is in dire need of remodeling and overall upkeep and maintenance if the property. Got the impression that is underway, but very over priced for the rooms in need of an update. Front desk gal on Friday afternoon was distracted by a personal call on her cell phone.
