We had a great time staying here. It was clean, modern and cozy. Perfect for our family of four. Close enough to the downtown area, but also nice and quiet. Pet friendly too, our dog loved joining us on our trip!
Beautiful property, close walk to everything in town, comfortable beds, wonderful hosts, and very friendly/respectful of my service dog!! We would definitely stay here again!

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.
I took my 3 adult daughters for the holiday weekend. The cabin/house was in a great location/easy access to Boyne City and all the little shops and restaurants. Beds were comfortable. Owner was very responsive to all of my questions.

Was a great location, close to town. The home was clean, modern and well maintained. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again if the opportunity arose.
Blue Heron is comfortable and beautifully decorated. There is plenty of space. Well equipped kitchen.
Fenced back yard was great for our 2 dogs.
Great place to stay and we will again. Highly recommend!!
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!
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.

Really nice week that we stayed and the host’s recommendations for activities, dinners, etc were spot on.
The house is superb and super clean even though they host pets which is a positive rating as well.
Kitchen is very well stocked and beds are super comfortable and backyard is nice with a built in fire pit and chairs which we didn’t use but would have next time which there will be.
Thanks!!

Our vacation stay was good. The house was generally as advertised. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware and all cooking utensils, as were the laundry facilities. We appreciated the small touches such as treats for our dog. The house, linens and towels were clean. Location was good as well. There were a few items that could have been better, however. The backyard connects via a chain link fence to the next-door neighbors, so there is minimal privacy outback. On our second morning, we were awakened from a sound sleep at 7:30 am (Saturday) by a knocking at the front door. A maintenance man was scheduled to winterize the irrigation system and had to access the crawl space. The noise this generated for the next 30-45 min caused our dog to bark the entire time. There was no chance of any of us returning to sleep afterwards. When reporting this interruption to the host and relaying our dismay, the response was "I'm not sure we knew that was going to happen either...I will speak to them to make sure we know ahead of time." Just a disappointing way to start one of our only two days of rest. Lastly, although the house was clean, there were quite a few spiders, ants and stray bugs throughout.
This home was clean, close to the downtown area and had a very welcoming feel. I would stay again and recommend it to others.

We really enjoyed our time at Blue Heron. The backyard was fully fenced and it gave us peace of mind while we had our pup there. We would gladly come back and hope to soon!
