Sleeper gem; right on Pine Lake. Rooms are good size, but decor could use some updating. Terrific service! Incredible value -- next time I'll splurge for a lake view room!

This is a lovely location on the shore of Pine Lake. The staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. The room was large and comfortable, though it is showing its age. Parking was easy and convenient, and T-Bones is an excellent restaurant. The Boardwalk is also nice for lakeside bar dining, though the beverage list is limited. It was very nice to sit out on my room's deck and watch the sunset over the lake.

My fiancé and I loved our stay. Mary, the front desk/shift manager, was a delight and so hospitable. The breakfast had plenty of options. We really enjoyed the live music on Saturday while swimming in the heated pool. The accommodation is fairly dated, but the room was clean, and the bed was comfy. We were disappointed we only booked for one night and will definitely be back!

Beautiful location right on the lake. Loved the heated pool and the fact that there was a fancy restaurant and a more casual pub like restaurant right on the water. Room was large and comfortable. They are a bit dated but i understand all rooms are being updated. Would absolutely stay here again.

This was not our first time at the Blue Heron Inn. We think we have now stayed in at least 10 different rooms in the last few years. Our only problem this stay was mysterious loud noises that occurred between 3 & 5 AM right above our room. Other than that, it was a great stay!
