A beautiful rental with all the comforts of home. No detail was overlooked, from snacks and toiletries, to games and puzzles. They thought of everything you could possibly need. Walkable to great restaraunts, convenient to Seattle and an easy drive to some remarkable hiking trails.

I had an emergency and couldn't stay. The house is beautiful and exactly what it promises. A bit far from downtown if you don't have a car. We really wish we could have stayed.

The space we rented from Marcy, family exceeded expectations which unfortunately does not happen often enough. The home, the location and the gardens were all wonderful! Can’t wait to stay there again.

Amazing place in a prime location

Marcy and the Blue Heron Manor were top notch! Marcy was very responsive and made us feel right at home during our stay. The space overall is beautiful and finds a striking balance between being curated and comfortable. We especially loved the historical notes on the area, the very supportive and comfortable beds, and brief walking distance to the best of Columbia City. Couldn't recommend this space highly enough!
