The house is right on a creek so you can hear the bubbling water from the deck. It was a rainy weekend so we didn't get to spend much time on the deck, but it would be a perfect place to sit in nicer weather. The bed was comfortable and the house had everything we needed.

Great layer back pizza place within walking distance called Vinal pies. We watched friendly little squirrels play on the deck railings. We drank morning and evening coffee on the porch listening to the river flowing. We went for mineral jacuzzi soak at the Hot Springs spa, which was about 11 minutes away walking. The soak was absolutely amazing Larry enjoyable and relaxing. We will definitely be back again. Best little weekend weekend getaway.

The view is spectacular. The house itself was very cute and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The only thing that I would say is that if you go when it's hot realize it might be warmer in the house than you like. The AC worked excellent but it is a ductless type AC and you need to use fans to move the cool air into the bedroom. But when we went it was in that load a mid-90s so it was very hot. I would absolutely stay here again. It was very very clean.We enjoyed it so much. They really did think of everything. It was a wonderful experience. ##### Pamela C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S. 10 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy Little Getaway The Blue Heron was even better than expected. The cottage is well appointed and very clean and cozy. Arriving we walked in to find a vase of daffodils and a kind welcoming note on the kitchen table. It was a bit rainy and chilly that day, the gas log fireplace was on and the warmth of the cottage was just wonderful. The loveseat in the living room faces sliding glass doors which offer a view of the Spring Creek and the surrounding wooded area. Just to the right of the doors is the cozy gas log fireplace. The next day we walked into Hot Springs and strolled through the shops and downtown before "taking the waters" in a very nice private hot tub at The Hot Springs Spa. A bit of backstory, the week of our original scheduled stay the weather forecast was for a high of 17\* Saturday and 5\* Saturday night. The hosts were very understanding and accommodating in letting us reschedule our stay a few weeks later for a small rescheduling fee. Blue Heron provided us with a very relaxing weekend get away and we would definitely stay again. ##### David S.

It’s perfectly furnished. It overlooks a bend in Spring Creek which I could look at for hours. Our Cockapoo loved the fenced in deck where she could view all the nature safely contained. It’s right in town and fully equipped. We walked by it for years while we were camping, and now we had the joy of experiencing it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7de75477-c1b5-4c82-b5b4-630569ef7a0f-1761175095099.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/694ef2bc-f792-4450-8f34-8126b50edc3b-1761175099912.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Spring Creek view from deck.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a71873e3-b40d-48b2-94dc-f96c902ce92d-1761175104508.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b7e463a0-96db-4b87-a07f-1879750647d9-1761175104937.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mrtrumpet44 Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith T. 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great property.

Perfect getaway for my spouse and I while we were in town for a wedding. I loved that restaurants/stores/brewery were all a short walk away. The sound of the creek behind the house was also so relaxing. ##### Rose M.
