Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Totally legit listing. Just keep in mind that linens and towels are extra. They do disclose that they do not supply them free of charge but it is near the end of the details. Still highly recommended.

July 2016 Stay

With our growing family, this year we chose Follow the Heron after many years of staying in another home. We found this house to be excellent, comfortable and homey, plenty of space, and had everything we needed. Our vacation was, as always, perfect. We biked, fished, talked, ate, played games, and just enjoyed being together. Thank you for another wonderful vacation on this magical and healing Island!
