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!

Lake Conroe Lakefront Home

Very nice house with covered deck, dock and boat lift. Great view of the lake. Nice location on the lake in a quiet neighborhood. I stayed for a month for the second year and hope i can come again next year. Plenty of space for 10 people. Very thoroughly cleaned. The house manager and owners are very friendly and very responsive. I highly recommend this vacation house for one person or for family gatherings.

In town for a reunion so we weren’t at the home much and didn’t spend a lot of time locally but the view was nice and the home was wonderful and cozy.

Conroe Lake Trip

We have been on Conroe many times but this is the first time to rent a house. There are lots of Condo options but we really didn’t want to be “near people”. This was such a great find. Right on the water with boat tie up. Sunset views and good bit of shade. Two things that impressed us the most was the cleanliness and host communication. We hope to be back.

Home away from home!

The house has everything you will need for a getaway (and then some). I felt like the owners went above most VRBO's in what was supplied. I would highly recommend for family gatherings. The house is located in a quiet area (with the exception of one evening where neighbors were a bit rowdy; just bring earplugs). Overall, a great experience!

Mom's 101st Birthday Getaway

My family rented this lakehouse for 4 nights for my mom's 101st birthday celebration. It was just as advertised. The view was the greatest and it was so nice just having coffee out on the covered porch. There were actually 2 tables for eating outside on the back porch which were not in the photos and rails going down the steps to the water which were not pictured. Both were a great surprise. Hosts were very nice and the place was perfect! Would stay here again and recommend to our family and friends.

Comfortable & Cozy

The Blue Heron was perfect for what we had planned. It’s on the water and the kids were able to use the paddle boards that they had at the Blue Heron. If you have a boat you can put in at the Shell gas station right now the street and then it’s a short ride over to the house where we then docked. The beds were comfortable. They had everything we needed there which was very convenient. We will book again when coming to lake Conroe. Thank you Blue Heron!
