Just a fabulous stay all around. The location of The Blue Heron was spectacular, located directly on the lake. Your back yard is the lake and it was so very beautiful. The home itself was immaculately clean and well stocked with any items one would want for cooking as well as ample bedding for any situation you would need. Air conditioning worked great as well as Wi Fi , washer and dryer. The parking is generous and the neighborhood is safe and friendly. Everyone was so friendly in Texas. We will definitely be back if possible. We stay in a lot of vacation homes and this ranks right up there with the best.

Fantastic Fourth with Family and Friends

We stayed at the Blue Heron with a few families and their kids to celebrate my late dad’s birthday. Each family was able to have their own space, and the back patio was perfect for the babies to have a kiddie pool, and the lake was perfect for the older kids to swim. We loved the lily pad, and yard for family relay races. Would love to come back to the Blue Heron!
