This was just what we were looking for. Quiet, relaxing, and a view of the lake. We took advantage of the fire pit (bring a lighter or matches, we couldn't locate any and purchased a lighter while we were out) and the outside area could use some lighting. When it gets dark it's difficult to see going back to the apt. Went for a late afternoon kayak ride that was just lovely! I think the upper deck and lawn furniture could be cleaned before guests arrive as it had spider webs and bird droppings. Also, the propane ran out on the gas grill before we were done cooking, but we were able to finish it in the oven. If you plan on using the grill, maybe ask if the propane tank has been replaced or how often it was used before your stay. Overall it was a nice stay and we would stay there again.

Quiet, clean and comfortable. On-site hosts available for any questions. Waterfront access to Lake Claytor and close proximity to the New River Trail Park system at Hiawasee and Draper (rental bikes available at Draper Mercantile). Gas and charcoal grill available with a nice kitchen (no staples other than salt and pepper) made dinners in quite easy with a little pre-planning as suggested by the hosts, as there are no eating options within 20+ minutes. Plan your getaway!

We had a fabulous visit! My son graduated from VaTech. We stayed here for peaceful retreat from the busy campus! Close enough to campus (45 min) to make it a good fit. We did a small hike at the New River trail close by and relaxed when we were away from campus.

Roomy and comfortable apartment with beautiful lake views. We were there in November so could not take advantage of swimming or kayaking, but thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Loads of peace and tranquility, just what we needed! Thank you

We had a lot of fun here. Storms limited lake water use, but deck was fun for hanging out, and generator kept power, heat, hot water during brief power outage.

What a wonderful, peaceful getaway! Our hosts were so friendly and helpful. We spent a couple of days here and wish we had longer. Just sitting on the rockers, looking out at the lake, was just what we needed after the college move! Thank you for having us as we so enjoyed meeting our hosts including Minnie :-)

Wonderful

The only complaint we have is that we didn't stay longer. The apartment was perfect for my husband and I and our daughter ended up staying with us for the weekend. The primary room bed was so comfortable and it was nice to have the pull out bed in the living room for our daughter. We did enjoy the hot tub and that was very relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked and there is a Kuerig and a drip coffee maker. Bring basket filters for the drip coffee. The roads to get to the unit were so much fun, you really are secluded. At night look up to the sky to see how many stars there are!!! My last thing is that the VIEW is incredible especially from the rocking Adirondack chairs right outside the unit. We WILL be back!

I think my daughter's exact response to our week-end at the Blue Heron was "EPIC!" We were celebrating her birthday with three of her best friends and couldn't have been happier. Such special childhood memories we will always cherish in every way!

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was clean and well furnished. The rooms, with their many windows, gave us a view of the lake from the inside. The patio, with its lake view, provided a relaxing spot for morning coffee or afternoon conversation. We enjoyed our hosts and appreciated their kindness. We would definitely return if we had the chance

We loved staying here- beautiful property with lots to enjoy including swimming in the lake, kayaking, taking walks around the property. There are so many beautiful spots to sit and relax. My husband was able to take advantage of the nearby mountains and go hiking/camping for a night. Herman and Theresa were very hospitable and made sure we had everything we wanted/needed. They also were so kind to show our daughter their chickens and also put up an outdoor movie one night for us. It was a very relaxing, beautiful stay!

Had an amazing time on the water. Very clean! Can’t wait to come back!!

Extremely clean, everything provided, lovely property, good fishing, very quiet. Couldn't ask for nicer getaway!

Such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the serene waterfront views. The apartment/lodge was furnished lovely and clean. Many options to sit and relax outside from the patio to the many decks by the water. A paddle boat that my grandson’s really enjoyed is available to use as well as kayaks and life jackets. Absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Heron!

The place was immaculate, owners were very accommodating & a joy to talk to & there was a great view of the lake. We will definitely return

Very clean and well appointed property.Hosts, Theresa & Herman were exceptionally nice and helpful.Lots of outdoors activities very close by.Plan on returning. Thanks T&H.

It was an enjoyable stay... kids and daddy swam in the lake almost everyday. The hot tub was a bonus. Caught 2 small catfish and brought them home. The view was beautiful and I had an amazing sunrise view the day after the storm. We had a campfire on our last night and we enjoyed it as well even if it was just for a couple of hours. The couple who owned the place, Theresa and Herman are friendly. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

We really enjoyed our peaceful getway weekend. Kind, friendly atmosphere. Very clean accommodations. Would have liked to have wifi, but if wifi is not important to you, this is a little a wonderfully quiet getaway spot.

We had a good stay. Wish the weather had been better but nothing can control that. Property was as described in the liating. If you're looking for a quiet getaway this is nice.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The owners were super friendly and the house and location were wonderful - it had everything you could possibly need!!

It was a very relaxing beautiful place to spend the weekend.

Fantastic! Everything included! Fully stocked kitchen. Theresa was available anytime I called! Booked a summer vaca for my birthday already!

I enjoyed the peace and quiet look forward to staying again I would suggest this rental

Beautiful setting! Peaceful and relaxing.

We LOVED our time here and this property. Wonderful! Clean, welcoming, well furnished, comfortable, great views, great extras

Wonderful experience-. Would stop by again if traveling past that location,

Our stay was simply awesome on the Lake. Teresa was great. Highly recommend!

I needed a place to meet up with my parents as they drove from OH to NC. The host was fabulous - - -she got back to me very quickly and was able to make a last-minute accommodation. The setting is beautiful: secluded waterfront in S. VA. My parents are elderly and I'm immune compromised, so I was extremely concerned about cleanliness. This place was SPOTLESS and very well-equipped. LOTS of places to sit outdoors and enjoy the water/quiet. My only regret is we only stayed one night and I didn't have a chance to really enjoy all of the amenities, particularly the water. I look forward to coming back for a longer stay!

We had a great time . Owners were very helpful and accommodating. House was very clean and had everything. We will certainly return .

Beautiful place to unwind and enjoy nature! Polite, friendly, and kind owners; they would make wonderful neighbors. Kayaking for several hours, sitting by the fire into the night, and enjoying the star-filled night sky with the Space Station zipping - the special get-a-away we needed.

My wife and I found the perfect spot to get away from everydaying and just relax. We found the property to be just as described. Although it said there were dogs and chickens on the property we never say or heard them. We will definitely recommend to our family and friends.
