This was the perfect cabin get away for my 14 year old Grandson and I. We had so much fun enjoying the deer, kayaking at the beach, riding our scooters, and exploring the Island. We brought my 2 Havenese pups and they had so much fun also. The cabin was very dog friendly. We had everything we needed. It you want peace and quiet this is the place. I will definitely go back again.

We have stayed here during the summer before but never in the off season. We were able to join the island when the weather was nice, otherwise we enjoyed the cabin and the wonderful fireplace.

Delightful and relaxing spot

This was our first visit to Herron Island and we'll be back. Maple Grove retreat had everything we needed, from two kayaks to outdoor yard games, to CDs, and comfortable beds. Really appreciated the communication about the property in advance and we're grateful to the owners for sharing this special place!

Bucolic and restful

Diane’s cabin is in a truly lovely setting and I am going to miss those hammocks! The cabin is charming and very personal. The deer are very friendly and at home on the island which adds to the natural charm. Beaches are both wonderful and incredibly quiet. Great place for a quiet get away and Diane was incredibly gracious.

Great getaway

We love coming back to this place for relaxation during the summer. The hammocks are great for relaxing in the shade and reading a book after a trip in the provided kayaks. The house has been upgraded during the past couple of years and gets better each time.

Celebrating on Island Time

Our family met on Herron Island for a long reunion weekend, and we landed in the best possible location. The cabin is cozy and yet the layout is spacious, offered every possible necessary amenity (plus things we'd never think of!), and the owner is exceptional about communication. We made some wonderful memories and we hope to return again soon.

Idyllic

Diane is an extremely responsive and thoughtful host. Minor little issues were fixed immediately and the cabin itself was spotless and very comfortable. The wood stove was a welcome boon to our Florida bones on chilly mornings. We had a great time.

Beautiful surroundings both beach and forrest in one place

This was the perfect place to unplug. The house is wonderful, great floor plan with many amentities. Everything you could want. Minutes to the beach, lots of places to walk to, kayaking hiking on South Beach to the most secluded beach ever. Its a hike worth taking, Breath taking water that looks like glass and fresh air all around. We will be back

Peaceful getaway

Diane’s home on Herron Island is a wonderful place to disconnect and recharge. The house is fairly secluded with lots of privacy, the yard is great for dogs to play. The host’s responsiveness is excellent. She answered all questions I had within minutes. The neighbors have dogs and there are no fences, but if your dog can stay within the confines of the yard that shouldn’t be a problem. The island is a wonderful place for long strolls with two absolutely beautiful beaches. During my visit I had the beaches completely to myself most of the time. This was my second time staying at Diane’s house, I look forward to my next visit!

Perfect off the grid get away.

My husband and I spent 5 days here for our 30th wedding anniversary. We had nothing but time to talk and hang out together and spend just comfortable quality time. We played Skip-Bo that we found in the upstair living room cabinet, watched a few DVD's that were provided, sat out on the decks and sipped some wine and just chilled. We lite up the fire pit and relaxed there for awhile one quiet evening. We went on some short walks with our dog and enjoyed the views of nature and the sound. Everything about the cabin was wonderful...the beds were comfortable as well as the couches. The kitchen was adequately stocked with what we needed. Communication with Diane was easy and quick. The neighbors were really nice and accommodating...everyone waves as they drive by to say "hi". Overall this was a really nice stay. Thank you to the Rohrbachs for allowing us to stay at their cabin.

We had a great time at the Herron Island retreat! It's a great place to disconnect and enjoy time at the beach, play pickleball in the communal park, or grill and relax on the balcony or hammocks. Everything was clean and in order when we arrived. The description was mostly accurate, but note that the property does not have WiFi or any internet service (not a big deal) but it does have a microwave. Day trips away from the island are doable but the ferry is a large inconvenience and has a tight schedule. Cell service is spotty so I recommend downloading the guest instructions prior to taking the ferry to the island.

A great place to decompress.

Spending time on Herron Island for our family was a good way to decompress. With terrible cell reception, no broadcast, cable or satellite television, no internet, no easy to access restaurants, stores or other services, it was a great place to "unplug" from our regular lives. We found it quite relaxing to just wander the beaches, stretch out on the hammocks, prepare all our meals (no food delivery here, and going to a restaurant would have to require significant planning with ferry schedules),and to feed and interact with the local deer population (all very used to people). Diane, our host, was very responsive to the minor issues that did arise during our stay. There are some maintenance needs with the property that will probably need to be dealt with in the near future, but nothing that kept our stay from being enjoyable.

Wonderful place for a retreat

This place is a gem. Not only is it a dog friendly place, but clearly a place where dogs are loved. They have nice little touches like a food/water dish, and even a little emergency stash of extra dog food in the cupboard and a stack of dog towels. It’s a very relaxing place to unwind, get a digital detox. Numerous great places to nap or read. Games, art supplies, lawn games. Nice artful touches throughout. A great retreat. It was better than in the description. The locals were friendly, too. Encountered few people, but those we did were nice and waved.

This is our second time here. This is a perfect place to relax during the summer either reading a book in the hammocks or taking the kayaks for a trip around the island. The kids love the beach and feeding the local deer. Remember to bring popcorn for the airpoper

We had a fantastic time on Herron Isalnd. Diane’s place was perfect for what we were seeking. Make sure to bring plenty of fruit and vegetables - you will see (and be able to feed) lots of deers during your stay!

A Magical Retreat on Herron Island

This quaint and homey cabin-home-getaway is the perfect place to completely disassociate yourself from the rat race for a few days. Carefully and lovingly decorated interior. Comfy couches on multi-levels, two beds that were like clouds to sleep on. Fully equipt kitchen, a couple coal BBQ's on an expansive deck. Both the front deck with great lighting for after-hours fun and the fire pit and hammock areas are lovely places to spend time. We curled up on the couches upstairs with books and music on the stereo upstairs. Deer were present a lot, bring extra fruits and veggies - they eat out of your hands! The public beaches are completely unique, the marina offers a boat launch and swimming dock, a good place to launch your inflatable as we did. The south beach requires some effort to get to and back - a fairly steep trail from upper road to beach - but it is stunning. (Most) of the locals were friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this cabin and Herron Island as a place to go where nobody knows your name.
