If the homeowners knew exactly how this place is being managed, they would, or I'd hope, would be very upset. ##### Jason M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caitlin D. 16 Jul 2025 #### Relaxing lakefront getaway My family loved our time at Heron's Watch - it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. The private dock was fantastic and gave us easy access to the lake, and the outdoor spaces and screened in porch were beautiful! The listing was very much as advertised and the pictures online are accurate. There were lots of thoughtful touches and the house has lots of games and fun things to do. The waterslide into the lake was a huge hit with our kids, and we all enjoyed having access to the kayaks. We brought our own paddleboards and tubes, which were also really nice to have, and we brought fishing rods and enjoyed catch and release off the dock. We would highly recommend this listing and would definitely return! ##### Caitlin D. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jason M. 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness Inside of the home was clean. Plenty of room for our family. Lots of games, puzzles etc to do inside. Lake access and boat dock was a short walk from the house. Boat dock was covered with spider webs upon arrival, umbrellas that were there for shade are cheap ( slight breeze will close them up). On the back deck of the home, the Traeger Blackstone would not light. Plugged it in, changed propane tank, still nothing. Regular propane grill on the back deck after hooking up new propane tank and turning on all burners, would not even reach 300 degrees with lid closed. The back deck furniture was not usable due to the overflow of debris from the gutters when it rains ( gutters need cleaned out bad). Windows on the back deck were covered in spider webs and filth. Doesn't look like the outside of the house windows and frames have been cleaned in a very long time. The big cooling mist fan on the back deck does not work as well. The plug to hold the water in for the mist is missing, so only the fan itself will work. ![Debris in gutter](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27eacec0-edbb-47a1-95d9-a73553ce1487-1752869037141.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Debris in gutter](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c75d11e-9fbf-4276-b87c-bfd309606907-1752869037797.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Back deck windows are covered in spider webs and debris](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c863335e-97ee-47d2-bbcf-4e7a6f7a390c-1752869038255.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Filthy windows ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cdd01ac5-05d2-4d05-8f9f-9ff3570fbf24-1752869038361.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jason M.
