About the host
Hosted by Brook Jorgensen
Hi, I’m Brook, and welcome to Blue Heron Oar’asis!
Originally from Wisconsin, I now split my time between Arizona and the Midwest, but this riverfront home will always have a special place in my heart. I created Blue Heron Oar’asis to be a place where families and friends can slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories together.
One of my favorite things about the property is watching the sunrise over the Eau Claire River with a cup of coffee in hand. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot bald eagles, great blue herons, pelicans, deer, turtles, and other wildlife right from the backyard. Every season brings something special, from vibrant fall colors and snowy winter mornings to long summer evenings around the fire pit.
As your host, I believe the little details matter. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, thoughtfully equipped home where you can truly relax. Whether you’re paddling the river in the kayaks or canoe, fishing from the dock, enjoying a family game night, exploring the Wausau area, or simply unwinding by the water, I hope your stay feels like a true getaway.
I also love sharing my favorite local spots. I’ve created a guidebook with recommendations for restaurants, breweries, wineries, parks, hiking trails, family activities, and a few hidden gems to help you experience the area like a local.
Thank you for considering Blue Heron Oar’asis for your getaway. I hope you’ll love this peaceful little slice of Wisconsin as much as I do, and I look forward to hosting you!
P.S. If you’re an early riser, bring your binoculars! Morning is my favorite time on the river, and the birdwatching can be incredible.

It’s the perfect balance of nature and convenience.
