Host profile image
I'm a hands-off host who believes in giving guests their privacy, but I'm never far away. I live just 15 minutes from the property, so if anything comes up during your stay — a question, a need, or just something you're unsure about — I'm happy to help and can be there quickly if needed.
Feel free to reach out anytime by message or phone. I want your stay at The Blue Heron Retreat to be relaxing and easy from start to finish, so don't hesitate to contact me with anything at all.

Two comfortable bedrooms and two beautifully updated bathrooms with walk-in showers make this home as relaxing as it is functional.

Indoor Living: Flat screen TV with streaming services, lots of seating for family and friends, and a desk area - just in case (though, we fully support the "no work on vacation" mentality).

Outdoor Living: Large wooded backyard, spacious landscape area, gas grill, dining table, and a huge "Party Perch" covered deck.

Kitchen: Well-equipped, center island, cooking appliances, crockpot, toaster, coffee station, dining table for 6 and 2 barstools.

General: Central heating, cooling, a mini-split unit in the living room, fans in each room, washer / dryer in laundry room, complimentary toiletries, self check-in, lots of parking and easy access to boat dock/ boat parking. Motion camera outside between the house and the deck that will light up when motion detected in the dark hours. Pets welcome (dogs only) with an additional pet fee.
