Right on the lake and beautiful views from first and second story! Great place for somewhat of a staycation for Houston area residents for sure. Highly likely to make this an annual stay.

We enjoyed our stay and this house is our favorite out of all the houses we have rented through the years. But, would you please consider new lounge/recliners? The ones at the house are difficult to work and uncomfortable. Thx

Fantastic Fourth with Family and Friends

We stayed at the Blue Heron with a few families and their kids to celebrate my late dad’s birthday. Each family was able to have their own space, and the back patio was perfect for the babies to have a kiddie pool, and the lake was perfect for the older kids to swim. We loved the lily pad, and yard for family relay races. Would love to come back to the Blue Heron!

Cozy home with lots of attention to details! Great for my elderly parents, 1 requiring a walker.

In town for a reunion so we weren’t at the home much and didn’t spend a lot of time locally but the view was nice and the home was wonderful and cozy.

Family had a great time.

The house lived up to expectations. The location was great, right on the water. The family got good use out of the paddle boards, had a friend bring his jet ski and also rented a boat for one day. The patio was great during the morning and evening and we spent most of the time outside. Will definitely consider renting this house again.

Conroe Lake Trip

We have been on Conroe many times but this is the first time to rent a house. There are lots of Condo options but we really didn’t want to be “near people”. This was such a great find. Right on the water with boat tie up. Sunset views and good bit of shade. Two things that impressed us the most was the cleanliness and host communication. We hope to be back.

Mom's 101st Birthday Getaway

My family rented this lakehouse for 4 nights for my mom's 101st birthday celebration. It was just as advertised. The view was the greatest and it was so nice just having coffee out on the covered porch. There were actually 2 tables for eating outside on the back porch which were not in the photos and rails going down the steps to the water which were not pictured. Both were a great surprise. Hosts were very nice and the place was perfect! Would stay here again and recommend to our family and friends.
