Perfect
We were hoping for a place close to town to mostly walk, be in a natural setting, but not in a neighborhood. This fit the bill perfectly!

Amazing views and spacious home
We were two families travelling together and this was a great place for us to stay all together. Loved the view. The yard and toys were perfect for the kids. We forgot about the time change and arrived early and our host was very gracious and allowed us to check in early. Overall a great place to stay in such a beautiful location.

Fantastic house and property surrounded by spectacular waterfront scenery and moutains
Plush modern spacious comfortable home on a beautiful waterfront property with spectacular views of open waterways, mountain ranges, the harbor and town of Haines. This is the perfect location and I greatly enjoyed staying in this wonderful home. This is the Alaskan experience you really want. Watching the sunset into the mountains, building a fire in the pit, and star gazing late into the night. Morning coffee in the sunroom and walk to town. A hike or some fishing or golf. Blue Heron and Haines is the best!!

Amazing view! Excellent location! Cozy Alaskan comfort!
We stayed here for 2 weeks in August. Everything we needed for a family of six was here. Laundry and wi-fi worked great. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor games and most of all the firepit. The water views are fabulous and the fact that the house is between two roads does not detract from that. There is enough vegetation in the back to keep the road from view. The location is excellent , you can walk to downtown and it is still a short drive to the ferry terminal and Chilkoot Lake area (where we saw lots of bears!) One down side is that there are no screens on the back doors. Flys were an extreme nuisance and it would have been nice to be able to keep them out while enjoying the beautiful Alaskan weather. Also, the hot water kept running out when we showered, so we had to space out the showers because of this. Overall, I would recommend staying at this great location to enjoy the beautiful views that Blue Heron has to offer.

Blue Heron Perfection
My family very much enjoyed the Blue Heron House. It was spacious with lots of natural light and plenty of play spaces including yard for the kids. This will be a top pick for our next visit to Haines. It's conveniently located yet private. The property manager was very easy to deal with and had great communication. Highly recommended!
