Excellent stay, we will be back!! Very secluded, peaceful and relaxing. Exceptional hospitality and they did their best to accommodate my dairy allergy.
From the freshly baked cookies to the opportunity for our kids to feed the goats on the farm, Ms. Liz and Ms. Connie made our brief stay at the Blue Heron quite memorable.
An exceptional accommodation . The inn keepers are very hospitable and made us feel very welcome in their home. The surroundings are quiet, peaceful , beautiful. And the goats--like putting the cherry on an ice cream sundae.
