  • Inn Details

    Enjoy the shores of Winona Lake at the Blue Heron Guest House. This magnificent home conveys warmth and softness, comfort and serenity to all who visit. The Blue Heron Guest House has all the charm and grace of a lakefront home built a century ago, yet is scarcely a decade old. The hand carved marble fireplace serves as the focal point of old world, European décor. Columns, arches and statues remind the visitor of Italy while the eclectic collection of furnishings conveys sophistication yet sensible appeal. Guests enjoy breathtaking views of Winona Lake from inside and outside, as this home rests on its own peninsula. The irresistible allure of the water whispers with the gentle morning breeze and shines in the first fingers of dawn that glistens on the water. Blue Heron Guest House is one of the rare places where one can simply "be". All rates include fresh flowers in your room, luxurious linens & robes, and of course, a scrumptious warm breakfast. We look forward to sharing The Blue Heron Guest House and we think you'll agree, it's as close to heaven as you can find on this earth.

    We stayed at Blue Heron to celebrate our anniversary. It was the perfect get-away! Words cannot do justice to describe how perfect everything was - from service to privacy to luxury to yummy gourmet breakfast... all I can say is that Blue Heron far exceeded our expectations! If you go to Winona Lake be sure to stay there!

    As an executive, the Blue Heron served my every need. My room had a full size desk, comfy chair, and outstanding bed. The decor is just stunning. Even the sheets were of extreme high quality. The owners were quite gracious, even calling back to warn me of slippery road conditions. Every item in the home was considered and placed for need, function and most of all, beauty. I really can't explain how wonderfully pleasing this home was to the eye. Executives desire a little pampering too. Being that Warsaw Indiana is the Orthopedic capital of the world, I highly recommend those coming in to meet with their corporate affiliates to take advantage of this high level of quality B&B. I believe the price is fully justifiable given the amenities, proximity, and location. I have stayed at historic mansions, swank hotels, and ritzy B&B's. None have reached this level of quality or beauty while still maintaining the feel of a home away from home. I rated this a 5 for value because no hotel even comes close in this price range. You would have to go over $1,000 a night to match this experience.

    We stayed at the Blue Heron this past August during our 37th wedding anniversary. The room, view and natural surroundings are uniquely juxtaposed, each presenting its own beauty. The innkeepers, Tony and Kelly, are very real, caring people who work very hard to make sure each guest's stay is wonderful. As a bonus, Tony is an avian authority, bar none. And, there are plenty of birds to enjoy viewing: swans, eagles, herons, ducks, hummingbirds, and more... Cindy and I can not say enough about our wonderful aniversary evening dinner and lake cruise with special inn embellishments. Thank you Kelly and Tony! Dr. and Mrs. Larry VanHorn

    I researched many B&B's hoping to find the perfect place to surprise my husband for our anniversary. After seeing the pictures and reading about The Blue Heron Guest House I knew this was the one for me! I was also pleased with the location, something this rare & beautiful and not that far away from home! I fell in love with the design of the home and the picturesque lake views from the many windows and from our own personal balcony. We had our morning coffee while we watched the sunrise and took some breathtaking pictures all from our balcony. Kelly and Tony served our breakfast out on the terrace that faced the lake, the food was wonderful and the company of the other guests was a neat way to start the day and end our night away. I would highly recommend The Blue Heron Guest House if you want a place that makes you feel special! Kelly and Tony are very gracious hosts and go out of their way to make your stay a memorable experience.

    This place is a wonderful way to spend the weekend together. My fiance and I stayed here for our first anniversary and loved every minute of it. Kelly and Tony were great host and made everyone welcomed. They treated us like royalty and even called to make sure we were okay because there was a storm coming in the distance. The house and rooms were spacious and accommodating. We will be back to spend another weekend. Perfect 10 in my books.
