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.

5 out of 5The MOST relaxing get-away!
August 27, 2011
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!
5 out of 5Executive Dream
February 09, 2011
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.
4.6 out of 5A Wonderful Stay, Hosted by Wonderful People
October 23, 2010
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.

We stayed at the Blue Heron for our anniversary this year and had a wonderful time. Kelly and Tony are great hosts, the room was beautiful, and the breakfasts were delightful. The village at Winona Lake is great for walking around and renting bikes and has some very nice resturants.
5 out of 5Getaway weekend
June 10, 2009
My best friend of almost 40 years and I wanted to have a getaway weekend. I stumbled upon the Blue Heron by doing some web searches, and was I ever lucky! We both felt pampered and relaxed all weekend, thanks to the stunning surroundings and the warmth and hospitality shown to us by Kelly and Tony. The Blue Heron is incredibly beautiful, both inside and outside. We had a fabulous dinner the first evening in Winona Lake, after a leisurely pontoon ride and lake tour by Tony. After dinner, Tony and Kelly picked us up and we had another leisure cruise back to the Blue Heron. To ensure our comfort, they even brought blankets in case we got cold on the ride back! Breakfasts both mornings were wonderful. The weather cooperated and we got to eat breakfasts outside, enjoying the wildlife and lake activities. Our rooms were spacious and decorated to perfection, as was the whole place. From the start, Kelly and Tony made us feel at home and welcome. We fell in love with their beautiful afghan dog, Sophia. I don't think I've ever been around a dog is so mellow! In summary, it was one of the most perfect weekends I can remember and we've already asked Kelly to let us know when the local art festival is scheduled for next year, because we are going back!

I wanted a night away with my husband before our seventh child was born. This looked like the perfect place; tranquil, beautiful and not too far from our hospital.
