About this cottage rental
A modern, recently built (2023) 3 bd/2 ba cottage offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway. It sits at the top of our 4.5 acre property with great views overlooking the lake and cove sides of the property. Enjoy your private yard with a cozy fire pit & relaxing hammock, perfect for evenings under the stars. You’ll have shared access to a beautiful beach, kayaks for lake adventures & fishing opportunities. The primary bedroom has a king size bed, the second bedroom has a king size bed and can be used as a secondary primary bedroom as it also has its own private access to the covered porch. The third bedroom has a super comfortable king size bed plus there is a fold out couch in the living room for extra guests.
Need less space or more beds? Check out our nearby Blue Heron Guesthouse, 2bd/1ba just 30 yards away, offering the same great amenities and serene surroundings. The Blue Heron and Green Heron can be rented individually or together for a larger gathering.
If the weather is less than ideal, enjoy some sports or movies with YouTube TV and free wi-fi or play one of the many board or card games that are available. The kitchen is ideal with a dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove top and refrigerator as well as a full kitchen including pots, pans, blender and more. The dining room accommodates 8 and after a day on the lake come back to a spacious comfortable living room with fantastic water views or choose to grill and chill with the gas grill and covered outdoor dining area also with an awesome water view.
The outdoor space is the key to the home and makes this the perfect lake retreat! If you want to fish or just watch the sunset, enjoy the shared long pier with a gazebo and floating dock to tie up your water toys. You don’t even have to find a boat launch, just use the one on the property to start your lake fun. If you just want to relax, enjoy the shared sandy beach with a swimming area or just lounge away soaking up the sun. If you just want to hang out in the shade and read a book or take a nap, jump into the hammock and just relax or sit at the covered picnic table and enjoy food and the lake views. Top the evening off, by having a bonfire in the fire pit area making s’mores and memories.

Best host family! So kind and personable and helpful! Responsiveness rate is seconds. Property was amazing, clean, scenery was so serene. The water toys like kayaks and paddle boat was a huge hit.

This property is beautiful!!! The house is beautifully decorated, clean and very inviting. The owner lives minutes from the property and very accommodating. The kitchen is well stocked, as well as the bathrooms. They had a welcome book complete with necessary instructions and even smores for an outside fire pit treat. We were there for a wedding my only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy this property!!! I also had a metal ,13 x 9 pan that I mistakenly left and Howard the owner returned it to my granddaughter @ 15 miles away!! He also allowed us access to the property earlier than the posted check-in time.

The Green Heron exceeded our expectations. The hosts were extremely accommodating, fast to respond, and maintain their property with lots of care and love. The property was extremely clean, beautiful, comfortable, and fully equipped to cover fun activities and daily necessities. I would definitely recommend!

Overall the stay at the green heron house was great! Be sure to read the property details closely for the shared beach in the shared dock. They are also across the street from the house. There is a closer dock, but is still a good distance from the house. The house itself was really clean and stocked with anything you could need for a weekend getaway or a full week stay. From Play to a well equipped kitchen as well as tons of games, indoors and outdoors to keep us entertained.
