Your Fall Getaway at Blue Heron Lakehouse
Slow mornings, peaceful lake views, and golden-hour sunsets—fall is a wonderful time to settle into lake life at Blue Heron.
Escape to your private waterfront retreat on Lake Hernando, part of Florida’s Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes. This single-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to 8 guests and offers comfortable spaces for family vacations, fishing trips, couples getaways, and multigenerational gatherings. Pets are welcome, too!
Enjoy coffee in the sunroom, spend the afternoon fishing or paddling from your private dock, then gather for a grilled dinner, games, and sunset views.
THE HOME & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The open living areas bring everyone together, while the split-bedroom layout offers privacy when it’s time to unwind.

WATERFRONT LIVING—EQUIPMENT INCLUDED
Your private dock is included with your stay. Cast a line, watch the birds, launch a kayak, or simply relax beside the water.

A step-free boardwalk connects the patio outside the sunroom to the dock. One section is steep, so please use caution.
COFFEE, COOKING & TIME TOGETHER
Start the morning at the coffee bar and take your cup into the bright sunroom overlooking the lake.
Large kitchen windows keep the water in view while you prepare meals. Quality cookware, a Wonder Oven Pro, blender, and crockpot make cooking easy, whether you’re preparing breakfast or setting dinner to cook before a day of exploring.
The propane grill is ready for relaxed dinners at home. Gather around the dining table, then settle into the spacious living room for a movie or conversation.
