The house was great. Good view, clean, great location, and host was great. Our only concern was that the bedroom with bunk beds does not have an exterior window or exit, and so it shouldn't be classified as a 5th bedroom. This house is actually a 4 bedroom/4 bath.
We (six adults) had a wonderful stay with family over the holiday. Everything was smooth and well stocked. Lovely home, relaxing area, and great location with grocery and lots to do nearby.

We’re thrilled to hear your family had a wonderful holiday stay. It’s great to know the home was well stocked and that you enjoyed the relaxing area and convenient location. We appreciate your kind feedback and hope to host you all again soon.
This was trip planned by our kids to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The setting was beautiful. The layout of the house was perfect for all of us. The kids enjoyed the swimming and kayaking so much! Cohova was excellent to work with - good communication with us at all times. Our family is already looking forward to another trip to Heron House!

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback! We’re truly honored that you chose Heron House to celebrate such a special milestone. It’s heartwarming to know your family enjoyed the setting, the activities, and the home’s layout. We’re so glad our communication helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable. We’d be delighted to welcome you all back for another memorable family trip!
Beautifully renovated home, with a fantastic lake view! Great location in Bella Vista. We were able to watch so many fireworks on the 4th, right from the dock. The few concerns with the property would be that the trash container outside was completely full the day we checked in. We added our trash on trash day, which made it overflowing. Animals had gotten into it before it was picked up and scattered it all over. The person who stopped by to take the containers out to the street, and then bring them back by the house later in the day, did not pick up any of it. It should have been emptied before our arrival, or picked up by the maintenance team. We did appreciate that they supplied the missing closet rods for the master closet. The master shower curtain was moldy at the bottom and needs to be washed. The kitchen also has a great view of the lake! It is well stocked, except for pot holders and a corkscrew. Quick note that one of the kayaks has a large crack in it. Overall, we loved this house!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We're so glad you loved the home, the beautiful lake views, and the opportunity to enjoy the fireworks right from the dock. It means a lot to hear that you had an overall wonderful stay.
We also truly appreciate you pointing out the areas that need attention. We're sorry about the overflowing trash bin and the inconvenience it caused during your stay. We'll be reviewing our turnover process with the team to help ensure the bins are properly managed before future guest arrivals.
Thank you as well for letting us know about the mold on the shower curtain, the missing kitchen items, and the damaged kayak. We've shared these items with our maintenance and housekeeping teams so they can be addressed as quickly as possible. We're also happy we were able to provide the replacement closet rods during your stay.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and it helps us continue improving the experience for future guests. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another stay in the future.
