Lakefront rental
We loved this property! We rented this beautiful home because we were in town for a wedding. The home was beautiful, waterfront and in a nice neighborhood. It was stocked with anything we'd need and nicely decorated and very clean. Communication with the owner was timely and efficient. Highly, highly recommend!!! Thank you!

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.

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.

Great house for a wedding weekend
We wanted our immediate family to be able to stay together for a wedding weekend and this was the perfect house for it. Great communication! There was a bad storm that came through and knocked out power to the area and the owners were super accommodating. Thank you!

Worth a return stay.
A beautiful home wrapped on two sides with a covered deck stocked with tables, chairs, umbrella, grill, and an outside rinsing shower. The kitchen is well stocked making it easy to prepare large meals and the dining table sits 8-10 people. A half bath is conveniently located by the kitchen. Master bedroom and bath are on the main floor and sleeping accommodations for 8-10 others are on the second floor (three separate bedrooms and an open area with trundle and murphy beds) with two full bathrooms and a laundry closet. There are plenty of towels in the bathrooms and kitchen linen, too. Two areas on the second floor offer lovely sunset and full moon vistas. The owners and neighbor are personable, helpful, and thoughtful. One would be cheating themselves out of a great, relaxing vacation home. We are returning!

Family Graduation Trip
We traveled to The Blue Heron for our daughter’s college graduation from Sam Houston State. The house is beautiful and was perfect for our extended family! It is exactly as it is listed on the site. The house is huge, with plenty of room for everyone! You can’t get a better view. You are right on the lake, with a HUGE back porch for watching the sunset! We can’t wait to go back this summer and take our boat!

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!

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!

Our family of ten, ages 1-68, had a wonderful weekend. Communication was quick and helpful, the property was beautifully furnished, and the access to the water was great. That deck, though! The back porch/deck was a favorite hangout, even in late July heat. Terrific hosts, great property.
