Thank You Ann for your kind words. I'm glad that you and your crew had a Great Ky. Derby time at the horse races! I wish that we could see you in your Derby Hat. It is always a Good Time here on the River, with lots of opportunities of things to do. We hope to have you visit us again. Sincerely, Michelle & Bud Colucci.
We love our stay there we were there for I days and they were well worth it! Michelle and Bud are great if we ever had any questions they were there to answer ever question and even told us places we can go!
It was well worth the money and had just a wonderful time with our family. Michelle and Bud are very accommodating and if we ever had any problems or anything they were right there everyrime. It's a beautiful place to be. My family and I loved being there and really didn't want to leave!
The cabin was clean and well stocked with all the necessities! The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. You cannot beat the view or the peacefulness of the location. This is the perfect spot if you want to get away and enjoy the quiet part of life.
Had a wonderful weekend with relaxing views.
Transparency on the pet charges on site is needed as we had to pay extra for pets upon check in that was not stated.
Otherwise, was a great place to stay!
Four retired teachers-some friends and some family- spent four relaxing days at the Blue Herron. We laughed, we cried, we told stories and we took naps. The cabin was immaculate and the beds were great! Thank you for a wonderful get away vacation!

Sincerely, Bud Colucci, Michelles Partner. Builders & Owners. (Mom & Pop)
Breath taking views of Ohio River. Perfect venue for our desires (sibling re-union). Cabin needs some TLC but more than adequate for a "rustic Cabin". Very responsive hosts.
The location is beautiful! Right on the river. We had 7 adults in the cabin and had plenty of room for all of us. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Perfect place to stay for the Kentucky Derby as it’s away from all the crowds, but close enough to get to the track early! If not going into Louisville, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors from the wrap around deck.
My family and I enjoyed this cabin so very much, the only thing I would say and not in a negative way is it needs updating. But the home is still beautiful and accommodating to our family! Wonderful Hosts
Host is communicative and the property is as described. Cabin was very clean and adequately appointed. View is really exceptional as the house is angled to look down the river, not just directly across. Bed was comfortable. We didn’t use the hot tub, but the area provided for it has great privacy and it appeared to be well maintained.
Will likely return with a larger group in the future.
Our party consisted of three elderly siblings and two spouses who try to assemble annually while still possible. Unless you are planning to prepare all meals within the cabin (which is fully equipped to so), dining facilities nearby are few and far between. You should include this factor in you selection of vacation locations. On the bright side, the location is perfect for relaxing with an amazing view.
The place was nice. Read through other reviews about bedrooms and such beforehand. We did so we were not surprised and it fit us fine. There were a lot of little spiders in the house…it may be time to spray. We spent very little time at the cabin but it’s comfortable and a great view. Boat ramp is very close. We ventured to Tell City for breakfast at Julie’s and it was worth the drive.
Our Family REALLY enjoyed the place and the entire weekend. One son said this is the best place we've stayed! My husband said he wished he could have met Bud.
This is the first cabin built in Bud's bunch of rentals, I believe. I think small fixes and deep cleaning are coming when time allows. None of the issues affected how much we really enjoyed our stay! We really hope to come back next year, maybe with a larger family bunch! It was GREAT! Thank you, Bud and Michelle! (8-)

Not as expected
They double booked our cabin. I was asked to move to a different smaller cabin. They told me it would take quite a while to get a refund if I canceled and my trip was just 3 weeks away. So I pretty much had to say yes because I wouldn't have the refund in time to book something else else. The one that they booked me in

Magnet stay
Thought the cabin was ok. Air conditioner is inadequate for the cabin. There were fans throughout the place but were not nearly enough. There were only 3 of us for the weekend. If the cabin was filled with max guests allowed, it would have been very uncomfortable. Cabin was equipped with everything we needed. I don’t believe it is worth what we ended up paying after all the add-ons and fees.
