Green Heron Cottage

Welcome to Green Heron Cottage!

If the cottage is unavailable for your dates or you are interested in a larger home, please consider our other home Kingfisher Cabin, Listing number 2732858.

This home has been recently renovated inside and out. New air conditioning installed upstairs and down for 2022 season. Although in a quiet cove, the private dock has deep water, great views and lots of space to hang. There are 2 paddleboards, wonder noodles and water lounges as well as some water toys and beach towels available to use during your stay. There are lots a places here to relax and enjoy the lake - my favorite is the hanging chair on the top deck! There are rocking chairs on the top deck, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. A love seat and chairs on the lower porch for sipping a beverage with friends. A table and chairs with umbrella on the pier for eating lunch while fishing and swimming. A set of lounge chairs on the dock for reading that neglected stack of magazines. A large patio with dining table and picnic table, perfect for sharing a meal with family while enjoying the sunset. Then flip on the string lights and enjoy those perfect summer nights by the water. The kitchen is fully appointed with dishes, utensils, cookware and small appliances including a blender, coffee maker, toaster and crock pot. There are also some cooking basics such as common spices, flour, sugar, oil and coffee. A 36" Blackstone griddle is located on the upstairs deck, close to the kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms in the home. The first and second bedrooms have queen sized beds and the third is a bunk room with a full sized bed on bottom and twin up. Crib and highchair provided upon request. There is wireless internet available as well as 3 flat screen TV's with Roku, Netflix and Disney+ service. There are also books, board games and cards. A half bath up is located upstairs, and a full bath with deep soaker tub is located on the same level as the bedrooms. We recently added an outdoor lake shower with hot and cold water for rinsing off. The lower level also has the washer and dryer.

We truly want all our guests to enjoy our Green Heron Cottage as much as we do and try to provide everything needed to simply come and relax.

For the protection of the home and the safety those who help maintain it, there are security cameras on the exterior of the cottage viewing the front porch and garage area.

Several lovely gathering places outside! And so many beautiful windows and doors to see it all!

Awesome place to stay!! The house was sitting in a nice quiet cove that was very peaceful. Grandkids enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock after long days tubing on the water. Everyone had a blast!!

Check in was super easy and the interior of the house is very nice, well decorated, and clean. Docked a star because the outside area could use a little work (power wash/plants that aren’t dead). Would still definitely stay here again!!

It was the perfect getaway for me and my best friend. The house and property were better than what I could of imagined. We brought some kitchen items with us so that we could eat in, but we didn’t need them. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the variety of places to hang out on the property and enjoy nature.

The home is beautiful! Just what we needed for our stay! The amount of thought that was put in to every detail from the cute signage, labels, having all of the convenience items you could think of, and more! The lake was quiet and there was so much room for boating, riding jet skis, paddle boarding, kayaking and just floating! The perfect getaway!

We had an absolutely wonderful (and most relaxing) stay at your place! It was a great location and all of the included amenities truly impressed us. Our kids enjoyed fishing and swimming off of your dock, and we loved having our family dinners on your patio (outdoor space with string lights was a bonus). Thanks for sharing your little gem and hopefully we'll be able to visit again!
