The Blue Heron Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Welcome home to your next lakefront adventure, where everything you need for an expedition is already provided. Feel free to pack light as you'll have access to a canoe, two stand-up paddleboards, two adult kayaks, and one child-size kayak. On-site, you will also find life vests available for your safety. With ample space for a large group or multigenerational family, a game room with full-size game tables, and even an old-fashioned record player, this two-level home can serve as a private resort for your next getaway. Dogs are welcome, so nobody gets left behind, and your furry companions will love having a private beach to traverse. Once you've stocked the kitchens, the group chefs will have no trouble preparing the family meals, and with two full kitchens, there will be no need for disputes over what to make! If you prefer to host a cookout, use the private gas grill and dine al fresco on the oversized furnished deck or covered patio. After a long day of lakeside entertainment, come back to the main living area, stream YouTube TV on the wall-mounted flatscreen, or host a friendly gaming tournament on the pool or foosball tables. The younger kids can amuse themselves with the home's toys and children's books.
Lake views greet you from across the room the moment you enter the home. The picture windows and deck-access sliding glass doors light the giant open living area, where you'll also find a dining table for six and a well-equipped kitchen with a six-seater breakfast bar. Just past the kitchen to the right is a set of two bedrooms - one with its own deck access - and a shared full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. On the other side of the home is the primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a work desk and chair, a reading nook, and an additional deck access door. Directly to the left of the front door is a staircase that leads to the bottom floor, where you'll find the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, the game room and additional TV lounge area, and the second kitchen. Three sliding glass doors lead to the lower-level covered patio. The last two bedrooms are on the far side of the downstairs area, one of which has a patio door and the other four-sleeper bunk room.
