It was a beautiful place to stay. The staff was very nice. Had a problem with losing hot water while I was in the shower. My boyfriend asked how long we would be out of hot water and the response was that it would not be long…… all said and done, an hour later I had to pack up my stuff then go downstairs and up another set of steps to finally finished my shower! Then had to pack everything back up and go back to my room..it took them over 4 hours to get hot water back. The staff was wonderful. It kinda seemed that the staff was not notified about the hot water heater being replaced.

There was a cute outdoor bar. The staff was nice, but the overall property wasn’t as clean as i expected. There was a used bar of soap in shower. The beds were squeaky also.

The patio area facing the Lake View was very nice and a great place for dinner. Two very good restaurant options, and there are boat rentals on site reasonably priced.The staff was very pleasant and the breakfast was good. The only drawback (minor) is there is no elevator. I was very glad we chose to stay here for our softball tournament vs the hotel across the street!

The Blue Heron is in dire need of remodeling and overall upkeep and maintenance if the property. Got the impression that is underway, but very over priced for the rooms in need of an update. Front desk gal on Friday afternoon was distracted by a personal call on her cell phone.

The property itself is quite nice and all staff was very nice and helpful. Restaurant and bar and grill are very good. Unfortunately our room had several issues. We were over T- bone's. We had a nice lake view, but hallway carpets and the room carpet was terribly dirty and stained. Upholstered chair in our room was also very dirty. We would not sit on it. There was plastic wrappers on floor on one side of the bed that housekeeping didn't pick up. Lastly, I was showering at about 8 pm and the shower had very low water pressure and actually just stopped twice while showering, and when coming back on the water was very cold. This happened to my husband as well later that night. Seemed to work fine in the morning. Just made for a less than desirable experience.
