Summary: This place was so clean, cozy, and in a great location. Check-in and check-out were super easy. We had everything we needed. They thought of everything: coffee bar, extra throw blankets, stacked wood ready to be used inside and for the outdoor firepit. The outdoor patio area was beautiful and private.The beds were very comfortable too!Thank you for a great place to get away!

Summary: Chris and Rick were attentive to every single need of ours to make this the most enjoyable family reunion/vacation ever! They were more than accommodating. We loved every second of our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful cottage with every single thing we needed stocked, and the backyard BBQ, sitting out by the firepit, enjoying conversation with family members. We cannot say enough great things about what a wonderful experience this was. We will definitely return! Pat and Tim

Summary: We had such an amazing time at this peaceful little stay! The pictures don’t do it justice, the home was clean and in such an amazing location! We loved the wrap around patio looking out into the woods and all the lovely touches our host had. Everything was well stocked and everything we needed was stocked in the kitchen! Rick and Chris were great host and even reached out to us when we forgot something from our stay. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Summary: After our stay at Heron Cottage, I tried to find a word to describe our experience there. Shangri-la? Nirvana? Bliss! Heron Cottage is a stunning get-away, a great combination of rustic cabin and modern technology. Kitchen has all the essentials, there is a propane grill on the patio, recommend taking advantage of that. From the wrap-around deck you can watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee, then enjoy a spectacular sunset with a glass of wine. A myriad of wildlife, birds, deer, and much more, towering pines, oaks, shrubs, herbs, and flowers surround the cabin. The interior has gorgeous hardwood floors, splendid wooden cabinets in all rooms, plenty of storage, all the modern comforts of home. Investigate every cabinet and drawer, chances are if you need something, it’s there. I love the lighting, especially the heron lamp–we also saw Great Blue Herons as they flew by! Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, well-stocked laundry, a lovely garden tub, and a big screen TV with all the streaming services completes the package. Above all else, I want to thank our most generous and thoughtful hosts, Chris & Rick, for all the hard work, care, and forethought you put into this extraordinary mountain retreat. It shows how much you want your guests to enjoy every moment. This cottage captures the tranquility that made us feel like we were able to hit the reset button after a long stressful year. Heron Cottage became the destination rather than just the place we were staying. Thanks again!

Like the other reviews, we found the cottage to be very clean with much attention to detail. Heron's Cottage is by far the most enjoyable rental we have stayed in.
