Older building but renovating. Smaller family run Inn but very cozy. Room ovetlooked the docks and lake. Perfect! Bar and restaurant attached on the boardwalk. And nice walk after dinner at the waterfront park beside the Inn. So happy with this find.

Amazing Time !

Perfect place to stay. The Heron has a feel like staying in a private large beautiful home. The property and the lake are very clean, easily accessible everywhere. I would buy a room at the Blue Heron if I could. One of the best privately owned hotels I’ve stayed in. I’ve stayed in places in England , Scotland , France, Canada & all over the U.S. from Rhode Island to Arizona . We took our well behaved dog and she loved it too. The food is great around the Heron. Bars with food, convenience stores parks all within walking distance.
