Very nice. Maybe warn about driveway.
My partner and I have been wanting a place away from chaos, noise and the waves of an anxious desperation to survive. This place was exactly that. Peaceful, clean, calm, and beautiful. Our hosts Carla and Howard were very hospitable, generous and kind! Thank you for making our stay an even more positive experience.
Was quiet and peaceful. Great view of the river.
Was a great stay, house is very well decorated and property is very nice and peaceful. Owners are very kind and prompt.
Beautiful property
We chose Blue Heron Retreat for the prospect of seeing fireflies (lighting bugs). By luck we managed to book the week the fireflies came out. We may have come solely for our first time seeing fireflies, but we came back with so much more : ) Our group of four needed a quiet retreat from our busy lives. When we travelled up the winding, lush canopied road to our lodging we knew we had picked the location perfectly. The accommodations were beautiful! The view amazing! Favourite things; sitting in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake while having morning coffees. Birdsong! Our “Merlin Bird ID” app had a hard time keeping up! Sitting on the porch watching the yard light up with fireflies - breathtaking : ) Having late night hot tub dips in the quiet was incredible…. I could go on and on. Most of all though, it was meeting the amazing couple who own Blue Heron, Carla and Howard; Ever respectful of our space, we were the ones who begged to spend time with them… even to the point of making “appointments” to have a bit of their time. We were wanting to hear about their incredible lives and experiences. We appreciated their wisdom and kindness so very much. It ended up being a really life changing experience for my daughter. If you need a quiet retreat, enveloped in the beauty of nature, and hosted by lovely people, this is the place! -holly, Alberta, Canada.
Just what we needed, the views were spectacular. It was peaceful and a break from reality. We will definitely stay here again.
Out trip was fantastic! The home was very clean and ready on time for us. The antique decor was lovely and interesting to view. It was so quiet and peaceful, with an amazing view! The owners were very nice also, and very quick to respond to messages. We would absolutely stay here again in the future!
Well worth the drive up the mountain in order to enjoy the gorgeous view. Several nearby small communities provided reasons to drive through the countryside full of fall foliage. Definitely recommend for a getaway retreat.
This was a wonderful property with amazing views. We needed a quiet and peaceful getaway that wasn’t too far from home. This was worth the three hour drive. I suggest getting your groceries on the way in and you don’t have to leave till checkout! Harold and Carla were amazing host. You have plenty of privacy even though they are next door. We would love to come again!
Howard & Carla are fabulous overall & easy to reach if needed. Looking to stay in a private area…look no further! The Barn is a great getaway from home with an amazing view. My wife and I stayed here for the weekend and did not venture out to the lake, walking trails or let alone to a nearby city. Between the peacefulness, wildlife & scenery it is exactly what we needed!!!! Total relaxation and serenity at best!
The view was beautiful! It had a great kitchen and really comfortable bed. Way back off beaten path so it was quiet and restful
A beautiful cabin with a beautiful view. So peaceful and relaxing. The owners were wonderful and we couldn’t ask for it to be any better.
Beautiful property, inside and out. Super clean and comfy. Hosts helped navigate us there after we got lost, lol. Quiet, scenic and restful.
Adorable
Awesome view, lovely cabin with plenty of fishing nearby!
This was our second visit. It was as enjoyable as the first visit, even with the extreme heat and humidity. When cool enough, the front porch and 2nd bedroom deck provide a wonderful spot to enjoy the scenery, read and relax. When it was hot, we could go inside and cool off and continue. Next visit we would like to come in the fall or spring.
Our stay was the perfect get away from the business of the world. We enjoyed to solitude there. Everything was perfect. The hosts were wonderful people. I would highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to get away from it all
The kindest people I’ve ever rented from. The cabin is beautiful it has everything you could ever need and the views are to die for. Howard and Karla are the best we wouldn’t have had nearly as much fun without their recommended activities!
Impeccably decorated and cozy cabin with wonderful views. Abundant beauty and wildlife. Highly recommend!
This place was perfect for my wife and I to spend our mini moon at! The house was amazing and the view was spectacular! Carla and Howard were the most amazing hosts and we would go back in a second!!
