“The Blue Heron Inn genuinely feels like a well-kept secret, with many suites featuring spa tubs and balconies offering truly beautiful lake views, particularly at sunset. It's clear the staff takes pride in making guests feel welcome, and the outdoor bar area proves a definite highlight, especially when the weather allows for enjoying its waterside setting. The property excels in providing a comfortable, dog-friendly atmosphere that makes for a rather inviting stay.”
