This was my second stay and was like visiting old friends as Jan and Bill are so warm in welcoming and accommodating to visitors. They made us feel so comfortable even when requesting our breakfast be served a little later when we saw the light of the sunrise was just too good to miss. Rooms are comfortable (great sheets and more than enough pillows without having to ask),and cozy with fantastic views over the marsh (sunrises spectacular). This is a perfect place for plein air artists or photographers as the grounds have all sorts of photo ops and particularly the fresh water pond a short walk away. Birds galore and you are able to get close enough that they don't spook at the first site of movement. It is THE best place to stay for so many see and do things in the area. We will plan another trip back to the Georgia Coast and next time plan to stay a week at The Blue Heron Inn.

The birds are everywhere and are so interesting to watch. The breakfasts were all delicious and were the best we have had in our many stays at a B&B. The rooms also overlook the marsh and you can see forever including the ferry going to Sapelo Island. The rooms have fine linens and are very plush. We will return as soon as possible.

We stayed at the Blue Heron Inn for a couple of nights end of April 2009 and had a wonderful time. This was also the first trip with our 4-month old son. The innkeepers even had a pack-and play bed set-up in the room for him. The B&B is very clean with beautiful rooms. Our room on the 3rd floor had an excellent view and a large balcony, but as far as we could tell all rooms have a prime view. We felt very welcome and the service was great. You have to try their breakfast. A place to kick-back, read, bird watching, walking, island touring, and great dining nearby. We will come back!

Our plan was to find the most remote place in order to relax and unwind. Because our family lives in both SE FL and NC, we wanted to plan our family reunion in GA. The first day we took the ferry to Sapelo Island. The unspoiled beach was ours alone. We had our picnic in the covered pavilion. At night, our view of the tidal marsh was illuminated by the full moon. In the morning, the breakfasts were superb. There were so many birds to discover, hummingbirds and painted buntings among others. Jan and Bill let us take over their Inn and barbecue grill for our big Easter Sunday family barbecue. We enjoyed the nicest reunion, relaxed, casual and undisturbed. I would particularly recommend this Inn for weddings, family reunions and for those who need to get away to paradise for some time to unwind.

They were super-helpful, providing us with a suggested itinerary and making tour and dinner reservations as well as helpful information about the area. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed and all have gorgeous views of marsh, coastal waterways and a variety of birds such as herons, wood storks, egrets and hummingbirds. We can't wait to return next Spring! Of all the B&B's on the east coast we've visited(Vermont to Florida), The Blue Heron Inn in Darien GA is definitely the best.

It's VERY easy to like and appreciate the Blue Heron Inn in Meridian, Georgia (just 11 miles north of Darien)! Its setting on a Georgia marsh is relaxing and tranquil; the hospitality of the owners/innkeepers is terrific (thanks to Bill and Jan - very nice people!); the breakfasts are scrumptious (my girlfriend and I had sweet potato pancakes and lime French toast); and the inn is laid-back and quite comfortable. In particular, the Blue Heron Room where we stayed is noteworthy in itself - it's HUGE and an excellent value! The bedroom is extremely spacious with a king-sized bed, sofa, antique desk, and other furniture. In addition, it has a wonderful connecting outdoor patio with chairs overlooking the marsh; and the bathroom is one of the largest I've seen (two sinks with plenty of space, a separate double shower area, and a giant bath tub with jets). There are only two things I could consider that would this excellent room even better - a true closet area/closet stand and bath robes. During our two nights there, Bill made some suggestions for two local restaurants; and we ate dinner our first evening at Skipper's in the heart of "downtown" Darien (an excellent place, especially for seafood and local cuisine!). Jan and Bill provided us with directions to the only Catholic church in Darien for Sunday Mass (a nice little active parish). There is plenty of parking on the grounds of the Blue Heron Inn for visitors (though the Inn is a little off the beaten path, it's fairly easy to get to if you follow their directions - preferably during daylight hours so as to read the signs more clearly). Cell phone reception is also good at the inn as well. Great place!

The Blue Heron Inn is truly the place you would want to stay so you can spend time with the ones you love. If you stay on the 3rd floor make sure to read our story in the notebook that is provided and inside is a detailed description of our whole stay. I want to thank Bill and Jan for their hospitality and making us the delicious breakfast. Carlos and I truly loved our visit and when I get back from Iraq we will be visiting again.

It was truly a serene respite for Atlanta folks like us. We never experience the "quiet" quite (pardon the pun) like that here in the suburbs of the city. It was nice to be so close to the Sapelo Island ferry, and to really good seafood restaurants. And then there were Jan and Bill's marvelous breakfasts. We will be returning, and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a truly relaxing and serene getaway. Jack and Dotty

My husband and I recently spent a long week-end at the Blue Heron. I made our reservations through the inn's web site without any difficulty. I received a prompt response, along with an e-mail providing information on local activities, along with an offer from the innkeepers to assist with any necessary reservations for tours, etc. Upon arrival, the innkeepers were preparing a low-country boil for some friends, and invited all the guests to join them. What a nice surprise! Great food, great company, and lots of laughter. We stayed in the Savannah Room - the smallest room. It was pleasant and comfortable, although I'd probably choose a larger room for an extended stay. All rooms have a private bath and a balcony overlooking the tidal marsh. We had an opportunity to see all of the rooms during our stay, and I could've been happy in any of the choices. Breakfasts were delicious - Lime French Toast, Sweet Potato Pancakes and Shrimp Omelets were served during our stay. Wine is available in the evenings. The inn is spacious, with a huge screened in back porch. There are two small docks at the edge of the marsh. Kayakers could put their boats in and paddle the marsh during high tide. The owners offered to let us use their sit-on-top kayaks, but the timing of high tide coupled with afternoon thunderstorms didn't allow us to take advantage of their generosity. Jan and Bill are lovely hosts. They're friendly and welcoming; are more than ready to provide information on local activities, and will gladly assist with reservations. Don't forget to make time to relax while you're here! We would definitely return, and would recommend the Blue Heron to a friend without hesitation.

Bill and Jan Chamberlain run a first rate B+B...very friendly and caring hosts. We stayed three nights. The rooms were very clean, well appointed, and spacious. The breakfasts were generous and of excellent quality...not to mention the complimentary afternoon wine and cheese. The humming birds and painted buntings provided our late afternoon entertainment from the spacious porch overlooking the marsh. On the challenging side, the Darien restaurants were not up to the Blue Heron standards, although the food is generally good. The only issue we had with the Blue Heron, and it was a small one, was the scent of the shower water...a bit sulfurous, but we suppose it goes with the territory. We strongly recommend this B+B, and we look forward to another visit in the near future. Next time, we will call ahead to reserve a place at George Walker's table on Sapelo. Don't forget to visit Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge. It's too close to miss. We biked it and had a great time! Thanks Bill and Jan for a wonderful weekend!

My husband and I recently spent 3 nights at the Chamberlain's Blue Heron Inn. The room was beautiful, the view was spectacular and the hospitality was unprecedented. We have stayed at B & B's from time to time, but this was, by far, our favorite. The Chamberlain's sent us brochures for things to do in and around Darien. They emailed us information about events that would take place during our stay. They arranged for a private tour of Sapelo Island, which was very enjoyable. They recommended restaurants and other area attractions. Our stay was perfect, just not long enough. We will go back and stay longer next time. The breakfasts that we had were delicious and relevant to the area; shrimp omelets, sweet potato pancakes, etc. They also served wine & cheese in the afternoons and the selection was great. When we left, we felt like we were leaving friends. That is how they treated us, like friends rather than paying customers. We highly recommend the Blue Heron Inn to anyone.

We stayed at the Blue Heron this May during our yearly trip from Florida to Pennsylvania, when we usually 'race' up I-95. Accustomed to nice b&bs in Europe and in Canada, we had uncertain expectations about our first American b&b. What a find! The Savannah Room is lovely, quiet, and comfortable. The view of the marshland, the flutter of hummingbirds, and the lovingly cared for gardens are automatic de-stressers. Bill and Jan cooked wonderfully healthy and delicious breakfasts with a 'southern' theme and they had a very natural way of being attuned to our individual personal comfort and satisfaction. They truly made us feel as if we were visiting friends. As for American b&bs, this one will be hard to top. We can't praise it enough.

This is the most wonderful B&B that my husband and I have ever stayed at!! If you are looking for peace and quiet, beautiful scenery, and wonderful hosts; this is the place!

We will definitely coming back to stay with them soon!! My husband and I went over the weekend to celebrate our anniversary, it was a trip we will cherish forever! Thanks again Bill and Jan for your hospitality!!

We stayed at the Blue Heron during our recent trip to Savannah and the Georgia coast. We seldom stay at B&B's and our expectations were not high. What we found was more than a place to stay, not only because of the accomodations but also because of the owners, Jan and Bill Chamberlain. They made us feel like we visiting friends! We stayed in the Blue Heron Room, which was spacious, the bathroom huge, and the view from the deck overlooking the salt marshes was breathtaking. The evening wine and cheese reception provided an opporturnity to visit with Jan and Bill as well as the other guests. Jan's breakfast was outstanding and Bill's stories of local lore were equally delightful. The huge screened in proch was a wonderful place to sit, read, and talk or provide an opportunity to view birds and other wildlife. We saw our first painted bunting there! We can't say enough about this B&B and told everyone we met what a delightful stay we had at the Blue Heron.

My husband and I are from Arkansas and stayed for 5 days at the Blue Heron and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It's very quiet and relaxing, off the beaten path so you never hear any traffic. The view is wonderful and the sunrise was right outside our balcony. It was great getting up and drinking coffee in the mornings and either staying on our deck, or going down to the screened in back porch and enjoying the sounds of nature. You can take a little walk out the back door and sit on the pier and watch the little crabs and if you stay long enough, watch the tide come in the marsh. The breakfasts were delicious. We were taken such good care of and pampered we didn't want to leave! The rooms are very clean and neat and beautifully decorated - all going with the relaxed feel. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away for a few days or even a weekend retreat. I will tell all my friends about it. And when we travel to the Darien area again, we will plan on staying again. Thank you again Bill and Jan for a delightful time!

My husband and I were looking for some place to unplug from the rest of the world for a weekend and celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We definitely found it in the Blue Heron Inn. The Inn is very secluded overlooking the marsh. Breakfast is amazing - fresh fruit to start with juice, coffee or tea - Day 1 we had Belgian Waffles with strawberries and a side of bacon, Day 2 Praline French Toast and a side of bacon. After breakfast we spent an hour or two sitting on the dock overlooking the marsh reading and just relaxing. In the evenings, we were offered a great selection of wine, cheese and crackers and the opportunity for some great conversations with the hosts and other guests on the screened porch as the sun set. We stayed in the Savannah room. The other rooms are considerably larger so if you have the opportunity, choose one of them, but if not, we would still recommend a stay at the Inn in the Savannah Room. We hope to go back for more R&R in the future!

Just to say we had the most delightful Stay at the Blue Heron Inn in Darien Georgia. The Inn is in an idyllic tidal marsh area and provides a paradise for birders! The rooms are wonderfully comfortable and beautifully maintained. The Inn space is delightful and provides a marvelous screened porch for marsh viewing and cozy conversation. The Breakfasts are fabulous! This is all accomplished by Jan and Bill the charming hosts, who are wonderfully welcoming and able to provide information on where to eat, things to do, and places to visit, Can’t wait to return!

We arrived just as Bill was returning from a kayak trip through the tidal marsh with his grandson. After wine and cheese on the rustic porch, Bill and Jan gave us tips for dinner in Darien. The rooms were wonderful, and in the morning the coffee was ready by 6 am. We sat on a high balcony, full of plants, and watched the sunrise over nearby Sapelo Island, as cranes and pelicans soared by. Along with other guests, we were then served shrimp omelettes, and given excellent guidance about spots for hiking and birdwatching. Next time, we shall stay longer!

I had the opportunity to stay at Blue Heron B&B for two nights recently and was very happy with my experience. The location was easy to find and I was greeted by the friendly hosts Jan and Bill Chamberlain. We visited and shared experiences, petted their greeter puppy dogs and talked about some local issues of mutual interest before I went out for evening commitments. The common areas are nice with comfortable sofas and chairs, a warm fireplace and a screened in front porch. My accomodations were just right: a clean charming room with a nice marsh/island view and a cozy bed. The breakfast(s) were delicious - special recipe omlets and fruit were served during my visit. I would stay there again if I ever get back to Darien.

The Blue Heron Inn is on an attractive, relatively private property with a panoramic view across the coastal wetlands of Georgia out toward Sapelo Island. Most of the rooms, including the spacious and charming living-dining area take full advantage of this wonderful view. We spent most of our time touring the attractions in the area, but it would also be tempting simply to sit around the house, or on one’s balcony, or out in the yard or on the dock, where you really feel that you are in the heart of the marsh. Inside, the house is beautifully finished and the rooms are attractive and comfortable. The hosts are Bill and Jan Chamberlain. Jan was away on business during our three day stay, but Bill was the very soul of geniality. He is thoroughly knowledgeable about the area and seems to know most of the local residents personally. He is always ready to converse on any subject and to offer helpful advice. We especially enjoyed sitting around with Bill at the daily wine and cheese hour, which hour, like everything else at the Inn, seems adjustable to the convenience of the guests. A delicious full breakfast is served at an elegant table. We enjoyed everything about our stay at the Blue Heron and plan to return there soon.

This low country inn is exceptional among B&B's on the east coast. Although we visited nearby historic Savannah for the day (with help from Jan and Bill, our accomodating innkeepers) and enjoyed every minute, our stay at the Bue Heroon was the highlight of our southern trip. The breakfast (shrimp omlettes, lime French toast, airy Belgium waffles) were superb, the rooms delighfully comfortable and the camaraderie at the evening wine and cheese table was delightful. We even experienced a bonus - visits from several interesting bird species including the rare painted bunting. Would we visit here again? Definitely! It's now our favorite B&B choice.

The Blue Heron Inn is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy much needed rest and relaxation. Bill and Jan Chamberlain are wonderful hosts who make your stay so pleasant that you are sure to want to come back. Our room was spacious and uniquely decorated with a coastal Georgia flare. Each room looks out over the tidal marsh where egrets, wood storks, and great blue herons visit. If you enjoy nature or birding, this is the place to be. We came to see painted buntings and we were not disappointed as they were coming to the feeders just out our window. Our stay was a wonderful experience and one that I know we will repeat.

If you like beauty, elegant cuisine and feeling like you are just part of the family - this is your place. We stayed in the Blue Heron Room, and the kingsized bed and huge bathroom made me feel really special...as did looking out over the moonlit marsh from our own little balcony at night. The breakfasts were beautiful, and always started with a bowl of fresh fruit; my favorite was lime french toast. The owners were so friendly, even inviting you into their kitchen. They were a great help setting up our activities for the next day. Elegant wine and oer d'oevres in the afternoon were a nice touch.
