We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Heron. Very clean, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped, we immediately felt comfortable cozy and secure. We loved the king bed in the master bedroom and enjoyed the comforting electric fireplaces’ features. Communication with the host was excellent.

Beautiful and Clean Home!

We stay in VRBO's a lot; this was one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Brand new everything, newly remodeled, extremely clean, very comfortable beds/bedding, great to bring dogs as it is fenced in. We rated this 5 stars across the board and tend to be a bit on the picky side so this says a lot! Fantastic rental - we hope to be back soon!

Clean and nicely furnished. Nice fenced in backyard. Recommend staying here. Wish they would have supplied coffee , that there were more than 2 washcloths per bathroom and the grass hadn’t been mowed.

Perfect Alternative to a hotel stay

We were only in town for one night for a concert at the nearby casino. We were 3 adults, one couple and one single. It gave us each our own space with baths and a common area to hang out together. It was perfect and we would definitely stay here again.

About the host

We live locally and are available if needed in person. Otherwise reach out via text, call or the app. We hope you have a wonderful time in Boyne

Why they chose this property

This home is on a quiet street yet walkable to town, the water, groceries, and more. We love the large fenced back yard, firepit and covered porch- great for summer time dining from the grill.

What makes this property unique

We have 2 bedrooms both with attached baths. This is a great spot for a family with the 4 twin beds and master king bed. The living room is large enough for all to gather and the table has extentions too.
