The property itself is quite nice and all staff was very nice and helpful. Restaurant and bar and grill are very good. Unfortunately our room had several issues. We were over T- bone's. We had a nice lake view, but hallway carpets and the room carpet was terribly dirty and stained. Upholstered chair in our room was also very dirty. We would not sit on it. There was plastic wrappers on floor on one side of the bed that housekeeping didn't pick up. Lastly, I was showering at about 8 pm and the shower had very low water pressure and actually just stopped twice while showering, and when coming back on the water was very cold. This happened to my husband as well later that night. Seemed to work fine in the morning. Just made for a less than desirable experience.

Older building but renovating. Smaller family run Inn but very cozy. Room ovetlooked the docks and lake. Perfect! Bar and restaurant attached on the boardwalk. And nice walk after dinner at the waterfront park beside the Inn. So happy with this find.

Amazing Time !

Perfect place to stay. The Heron has a feel like staying in a private large beautiful home. The property and the lake are very clean, easily accessible everywhere. I would buy a room at the Blue Heron if I could. One of the best privately owned hotels I’ve stayed in. I’ve stayed in places in England , Scotland , France, Canada & all over the U.S. from Rhode Island to Arizona . We took our well behaved dog and she loved it too. The food is great around the Heron. Bars with food, convenience stores parks all within walking distance.

Service was great at both checkin and in restaurant/bar. Hotel is older so keep that in mind. Perfect location and if you can get a room on lake view its worth the upcharge.
