About this property

The Blue Heron on False River

This waterfront lakehouse blends rustic design with modern day amenities. Open floorplan: downstairs bedroom and upstairs open loft with direct views of the river. Includes a wrap-around upper deck with rockers, table/chairs, and a grill to enjoy a meal or just soak up the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If fishing is your thing, the lower deck provides ample shade to reel 'em in! So if you're ready to sit back and relax, fish, go boating or paddle the lake, look no further. Liability Waiver:

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Heron. It was very clean and had some comfy recliners. The large deck with the rocking chairs was a nice place to drink our morning coffee while viewing the ducks on the river.

Great time, Very relaxing

Nice house, put together very nicely and very clean. We had a great time fishing, kayaking, and swimming! We caught a fresh drum, alligator gar, catfish, and bluegill. You have to really grind out the fishing, but if you stay committed youll kill it. We had a blast, and would recommend this to anyone!

Clean and cozy caabin

Our stay was great. The cabin was clean, and very well stocked. The views are beautiful and did not disappoint. The a/c was the star of the show for this hotter than heck summer, kept the cabin very comfortable. The kayak and fishing poles were fun too! The neighbors are pretty close, but everyone was quiet and respectful. It's a nice little spot if you are looking for lake fun.

Perfect sisters weekend

Everything was exactly as promised or better. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities and the outdoor area was perfect for lounging around, watching the sunrise and enjoying being on a peaceful waterway. I had very quick responses from the host for questions before and during our stay. I highly recommend it.

The view won us over! Whether in the kitchen, living room or the loft bedroom! Fireworks were going off across the lake and it was fantastic to watch as well. Loved the deck in the morning for coffee with curtains to block the sun from encroaching. Went swimming and had just the best overall time!

The Blue Heron is an excellent quiet property with a great ambiance to steal away to. The views are gorgeous. The property correlates with internet advertising. Very clean and we were returning guest. No problems, so we didn’t need to bother the host, who we are sure was staying at the ready to assist!

Cozy cabin with picturesque view of the river. Nice big TV, fully stocked kitchen! Conveniently located... 10 minutes to New Roads and 20 minutes to St Francisville. We would stay here again!
