IDYLLIC, QUIET LOG CABIN LAKE HOUSE - on the water (Lizard Creek). 3BR, 2bath ranch. Two bedrooms and living room walkout onto the deck with Adirondack chairs, swing bench and dining table. Bring bocci set or relax in our hammock. Boat dock with two kayaks. Seasonal jet ski rentals just across Lizard Creek from our house. Or bring your boat to the Marina and dock it at boathouse. House cleaning fee includes Covid-compliant sanitizing, and fresh sheets, pillow cases and towels. The space A few things to note: - What made us fall in love with this house and property is the privacy and quiet. We don't get boat traffic like you would on the main lake. - This is a rural area, so while we have WIFI, it's limited bandwidth. But hey, you're on vacation, so no work. - If you bring your own boat or rent one from the marina, you'll need to navigate through a very short tunnel underneath Lizard Creek Road to access Lizard Creek. - We're at the end of the cove, which is great for fishing, bird and wildlife watching and privacy. That being said, the water level at our dock is regulated by Dominion Power, generally between 2 and 3 feet depth. So V-hulls may have difficulty. Pontoon boats, jet skis, bass boats and Boston Whalers do best. - We have a charcoal grill for your use (stored underneath the deck), so bring your charcoal and please grill only on the ground and not on the deck. Guest access The whole house is yours. Enjoy! Other things to note We follow VRBO's enhanced cleaning process, which is based on Covid-19 protocols that were developed in partnership with experts. Here are a few highlights: - Sanitize high-touch surfaces, down to the doorknob - Use cleaners and disinfectants approved by global health agencies, and wear protective gear to help prevent cross-contamination - Refer to cleaning checklists to thoroughly clean each room - Provide extra cleaning supplies, so you can clean as you stay - Comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines

Enjoyed staying at Blue Heron. Quite, off the grid location, which is what we needed. Water is shallow by the dock but was nice for little kids. Saw wild life, a water snake, turtles, beaver and fish. Owner was responsive and helpful. Hoping to return in the future.

The property is as advertised. The setting and location are great. The cabin was very spacious. I did not have to reach out to owners or property managers as they provided detailed information about location. I would give a 4.5 stars if possible instead of 4 but it was not quite as clean as I would prefer on check in. The property overall is very well taken care of and even the beds are comfortable. The floors,kitchen, living area were all clean; however there was pet hair on seating areas and the bathrooms had hair in the shower and toilets needed an extra wipe down before use.

My friend and I from college get together a few times a year to have a girls weekend. This home was perfect for the weekend. The space was ideal. Private and cozy. Very clean and spacious. Amenities beyond what we could have imagined. Truly a great place to stay. We highly recommend this lovely home.

A fun getaway at the lake for our family Thanksgiving this year! The large kitchen worked perfectly for all of the cooking. We had the *whole* bar covered in food! Good weather so we spent time outside by the lake and on the back porch. Great vacation!

Elliot was wonderful! The home is beautiful, although most of our time was spent outside! We LOVED the deck! Best part of the house for us!!! We loved sitting by the lake enjoying morning coffee! We will definitely stay again!!

House was very clean and comfortable, nice size and location. Only drawback was shallow water but that is good if you have young children. We easily got a pontoon boat in and out for deeper water. Would stay again.

Summer lake vacation
House was great! Very Clean. Very private. Large living room and kitchen combined. The water is very low 3 ft, with muddy bottom. We used water shoes and lots of floats, kayaks, and paddle board. Need additional trash cans (need 2+ with only 1 p/u day) and pick up day needs to be specified. We missed the Monday p/u day and had to go to the dump during our stay. This was an inconvenience. But there was no charge at the dump. Over all the staff was relaxing, quite, and beautiful!

The house is very nice and the property is quiet and peaceful. The wildlife was fun to watch - two baby deer on the lawn everyday, birds, squirrels, and fish, all a delight.

Location on the lake was nice and quiet. The house is nice inside and out. The water level was shallower than expected but we made it work with our Jetski. Owner replied quickly each time I messaged him before and during the stay.

What a memorable, tranquil, restorative stay at the cozy cabin lake house! Susan and Elliot made this retreat house a home away from home in a private place! We loved all of the many interior and exterior details to make our stay and lake retreat so memorable! This place was so majestic and scenic that we didn’t want to leave! We cannot wait to return again to beautiful Blue Heron!

Great Weekend with Friends
We stayed at the house for a weekend getaway with friends. The house was beautiful and we had a great time. Our son had fun in the lake - the water came to his waist, he's 43" tall. We did do a little fishing off the dock but they were very small bait fish. I will say the comforters on the bed are heavy so I would bring a blanket if you don't want the heavy weight. We would definitely book again.

From the moment we all arrived, we had so much fun at this cabin. We enjoyed meals outside on the deck, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and just being together. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the grandchildren loved taking a bath in the jetted tub! Thank you for a wonderful long weekend❤️

Overall it was very nice. The house looked just like the pictures. We really enjoyed using the kayaks in the calm cove. The fishing was not good off the dock due to the lack of water in the end of the cove, only 15 inches deep at the dock. We did not use the fire pit because the grass was extremely high in the yard. The dock was very nice and we enjoyed sitting there at sunset.

This is a charming cabin-style home that offers plenty of room to stretch out. The covered deck runs across the entire length of the back of the house overlooking the cove. The dock makes for easy access to the shallow water for swimming or kayaking. The open concept kitchen & living space allows you & your family & friends to all hang out together. The kitchen has everything you’ll need for preparing your family favorites. We actually made every meal during our long Anniversary weekend with our family. And it’s all wrapped up with plenty of privacy for a relaxing getaway. 👍👍

The house was beautiful, clean, and the kitchen well-stocked with everything we needed. The shallow water was great for the young kids, and it is a short kayak ride to deeper waters. There was only one other group a few docks up in the cove, so it was totally quiet. One thing to be aware of, which didn't affect us because we had three kids in our group, is that one of the top bunks does not have a safety rail that we found. If you have four children in your group you may want to check on that.
We really enjoyed our stay!
