Blue Heron Oar’asis - Riverfront Home • Kayaks & Canoe for 8 • Granite Peak

Wake up to water views at Blue Heron Oar’asis, a three-bedroom, two-bath home for up to eight on the Eau Claire River Flowage. Take your coffee out to the deck and watch for the blue herons that inspired its name—along with bald eagles, ducks, otters and other frequent visitors.

When the weather is warm, launch the included kayaks or canoe right from the backyard. After a day on the water, gather around the riverfront fire pit with firewood provided, or head inside to the gas fireplace. With two living rooms, there’s room to spend time together and space to spread out.

Winter brings its own reasons to visit. Snowshoe or cross-country ski from the backyard when conditions allow, or make the short drive to Granite Peak, Nine Mile and Sylvan Hill. The outdoor hot tub is available as a paid add-on by advance request and approval; winter availability cannot be guaranteed.

The home was very nice and had everything we needed. We were a little disappointed to learn that the hot tub was not working. Had we known sooner, we would probably have tried to change our reservations but there wasn't enough time to make that happen.
