We have stayed at The Blue Heron several times. The breakfast is not impressive and the coffee is terrible. When are they going to upgrade to larger TVs? You can hardly see the TV because it is small and mounted up high. The staff is great and the restaurant is very nice with good food, great environment and wonderful staff!

Room was beautiful but did not have hot water at all in the st room i was put in. Then staff says oh we have been having an issue with that side for a while. Them why allow people to book it??? Then you can hear everything from another room and i mean everything. They end up giving me a discount and changed rooms on the very end of the last day. Breakfast selection was small but ok. I wouldnt recommend booking any rooms by 203.

A friendly staff, good breakfasts and a steak restaurant with excellent food. It was snowy and cold, so I didn't get to enjoy the lakeside much but a lovely location on the lake.

We liked the lakeside location & park located next to the property. We thought the breakfast was minimal and some things were empty ie coffee, etc.
