Here are just a few commentaries from some of our returning guests:
"A LOVELY PLACE FOR WINTER OR SUMMER GET-AWAY"
Blue Heron is a wonderful place to stay--a beautiful setting in a wonderful location. All the amenities one could ask for and the owners were responsive and accessible in making arrangements, offering suggestions, answering questions, etc. The property itself was very well maintained, very clean, and extremely comfortable. The location is close to ski areas, Huntsville (a charming town), beautiful scenery, and a lake for swimming, etc., during the summer months. All the necessities were provided and in good working order, e.g. a fireplace, a kitchen with every appliance one could want, a large flatscreen TV and Blu-ray player, a large living room with comfortable seating areas, a kitchen with an island for easy food preparation, wood available for fires, etc. I would highly recommend Blue Heron as an outstanding place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Ontario. Plus, the owners have done an excellent job of making Blue Heron feel welcoming and comfortable. We hated to leave Blue Heron! Margaret Hannah
BLUEHERON,PERFECT GETAWAY!
We enjoyed your thoughtful hospitality so much and beautiful decorated accommodations. We just loved canoeing on Walker Lake with its quiet bays and open areas.The underdeveloped area at the end with no cottages makes you feel like you are in the interior of Algonquin. Its only a short drive to arrowhead Provincial Park were swimming and canoeing were also enjoyed - Lots to do in this area. The three beaches are great for small children. The 12 mph speed limit make it perfect for kayakers or canoeists who then don't have to deal with speedboats or jet skis. I love your beautiful evergreens by the lake in front of the cottage yet not blocking the view and the awesome Canadian Shield, God-made rocks which abound in this area. Both Walker lake and Arrowhead are perfect for distance swimming because there are no motorboats to worry about. Biking in the immediate Walker Lake road was fun because of the hills. Well be back, Lord willing! Thank You so much! Ron and Cathy
"HONEYMOON BLISS"
Hello, Susan and Dennis! Thank you so much for your email and for allowing Andrew and I to enjoy your beautiful, lovely lake. We had an absolute lovely honeymoon, and the little extras you gave us made it all the better. The pass to Algonquin park was great - we went twice and got two lovely hikes out of it! We also loved having a bonfire by the lake (thank you so much for the wood supply!) and Andrew enjoyed a superb misty-morning canoe on the lake Monday morning before we left Everything was just perfect and pleasant and we are very much looking forward to making a trip back.It was a lovely, great trip and we really did enjoy it. Thank you so so much for sharing your lovely property with us. Thanks so much again, Susan! Courtney and Andrew xo
"PERFECT GETAWAY"
Hi Susan, thanks for the later checkout today, and for a wonderful stay! Hope we left the place clean and tidy for you. Just fyi, we forgot some DVD's there on the window ledge behind the TV, but no worries... consider them an addition to your collection. Anyhow, we loved our time and will definitely come back for another visit sometime soon. Thank you again for everything!! Sad to be home...
All the best,Damian and Sapna
"SPECTACULAR!"
Susan and Dennis, It was a great trip, the place was great, the arrowhead park was pretty much awesome (tubing was our favorite but we went skating as well). Our first trip to up north was a success. You have done an incredible job, from the information binder you gave us, to the music you had playing when we first walked in and even the thought of including the cream in the fridge.. Truly a spectacular experience. I really couldn't give you any feedback for it was far better than anything we have had in mind.. Before we were leaving, we were already talking about a summer trip up there but we couldn't really decide on dates. I will let you know if we decide anything on that front..Thank you again, we've had a great trip! Tolga and Family

| My husband and I and our little dog had a wonderful, comfortable time at Blue Heron.
We enjoyed the privacy, view, quiet, and the spacious well equipped accommodation.
Susan and Dennis are lovely and thoughtful . After the first intro you don't see them again unless you wish to. Answers to texts or emails are prompt.
It's time to go home and I don't want to go!

| We had an absolutely amazing weekend. The cottage and property was extremely clean, warm and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed the indoor wood fireplace as well as, the dock, and the firepit outside. We loved the peace and quiet of the area. We also enjoyed the chipmunk that lived nearby, he came right up to us and took a snack right out of our hand. :-)

| We have been coming to the Blue Heron for many years in all seasons. Susan and Dennis are really wonderful hosts, and the apartment is the perfect getaway for our family. There's a lot to do in the area - Algonquin, Arrowhead, Lake of Bays, Limberlost etc.- or just hang out lakeside swimming and fishing or inside with a nice fire! It's a special place with special people as your hosts. You will love your time there!

| Our fall stay last September was exceptional! A much needed nature getaway! The free Algonquin park pass was a winner and we managed three forested trails including our favourite, Centennial Ridge. We recommend to start early, take lots water and snacks.
We completed it in just under 4 hours, including a stop for lunch. The final summit view (around the 9km mark) is worth every step.
The host Susan answered all of our questions promptly, both before and throughout our stay. We were especially impressed with the attention to the safety protocols in our new world. Loved that Blue Heron is dog friendly - Nelly, our lab, settled herself in by the fireplace. If she could write a review, she would give it a full five paws!
I happened to leave my Galaxy buds behind and Susan immediately posted them out to me free of charge. Lovely hosts, highly recommend Blue Heron for sure!

| Our family of four returned back home refreshed from our wonderful visit to Huntsville over the Christmas holidays. We skied at Hidden Valley and had ideal conditions to go snowshoeing for the very first time. Our favourite family activity was skating through a forest at Arrowhead Park ? free entrance with our pass provided at our rental, Just a heads up; the park was busy and staff suggested to skate mid week rather than during peak times.
Susan and Dennis's lakefront accommodation was perfect in every way!
