Absolutely loved the Blue Heron for my husband and I's stay! It was such a peaceful property with so much to do to relax and reset all within the same property! We loved the area, Schindy's has the best pizza, atmosphere, and people working! We were able to go kayaking one day down the Muskegon, and take in the beauty from local parks! We can't wait to bring our kids up to stay to enjoy the area!

Water Overlook

Our visit to MI was pleasant, with gorgeous views. The host was very helpful and responsive. We were missing a TV remote and, within 10 minutes, had a new one. The bed view overlooked the lake. I can't wait to go back.

Even better than the pictures

We have a lovely little Thanksgiving getaway (we brought food with as the kitchenette, while very well stocked for such a small space wasn’t up to cooking a feast). The room was actually a fair amount larger than I was expecting based on the photos and there were screens available so we could make our 14 his own “room” with the sofa bed in it. Christine was great and super responsive even on a holiday. Highly recommended.

A secret oasis! Exceptional experience.

So closet to the NCT trail! Really comfortable sleep - and accessible room! - Former event space turned into a really cool space! Each room is so different - it was refreshing. We got in really late - so first impressions of the property during sunrise was incredible. The deck/lake view is amazing. Christine went above and beyond our expectations as a host showing great grace and care when we expereinced a hiking emergency. There are so many hidden 'secret' areas tucked away on the property - we wish we had longer to enjoy every space! The firepit - the beach - the grotto - the hot tub(s!)! The hot tubs and shower were incredible after a long day on the trail. I look forward to bringing my family back! (checking out Schindys general store and shopping in Newago was a fun thing to do too)
