Affordable Studio right on the Lake

This was a really nice studio right on the water for a reasonable price. Great for an individual or a couple looking for a quiet neighborhood in Lake Oswego.

Great little apartment!

This is a great apartment in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. It has a well equipped kitchen for meal preparation as needed. The host is very communicative and helpful. We highly recommend the Blue Heron.

Lakeview apartment

This place felt like home away from home. Very cozy and comfortable. Beautiful view, wonderful amenities. Serene porch to enjoy lake views. I slept like. Baby. Perfect getaway in a lovely neighborhood. Super easy to reach owners if needed. Will definitely visit again.

Not for us!

This could be a charming place but it misses the mark. It’s just “very tired “. Pros: nice lake view Pretty flowers by entrance Quiet neighborhood Bed was comfortable (pillows should be replaced) Not expensive Cons: the nice view is ruined by the clutter (lots of really old outdoor furniture piled up, etc) on the lower deck Not necessarily dirty but not clean enough Few amenities: it’s been a long time since I stayed at a vacation rental that didn’t include at least a starter coffee supply; unwrapped bar of soap in the bathroom; WiFi was spotty at best (we ended up using our hot spot); kitchen consists of hot plate, microwave, mini fridge and dishwasher; no trash bags Communication with owner was very limited (had to call for access information), no written or online information about trash, checkout, etc. No comfortable seating for 2 people in the unit, one seat cushion for the deck furniture—may be more suited for one person Shower does not fully drain, we finally figured out that perhaps we were supposed to use the squeegee that was provided to reduce the puddle on the shower floor and get the water to go down the drain Overall, this place is quite subpar compared to the many vacation rentals we have stayed in, and it’s disappointing since it has so much potential. We would not stay here again.

Wonderful, relaxing studio unit right next to Lake Oswego!

Charming & slightly rustic studio unit. Was ideal for my stay. I knew from reading the Vrbo reviews online that there was a coffee maker (actually there were two) but there might not be coffee itself produced provided, so I brought some ground coffee with me, which worked out very well. Kathleen & Mac (and their dog, Riley) are nice & welcoming. I initially had an issue with internet connectivity, but Mac & then later, Kathleen, did their best to assist. We got it figured out before the day ended. I appreciated their attentive service! Thanks to them for everything!

Gorgeous view with responsive owners

If having a view is important to you, look no further. Sipping coffee on my private balcony overlooking Lake Oswego was the highlight of my Oregon adventure. The owners Mack and Cathleen were very rapidly responisive to my inquiries yet allowed me the privacy crave,

Athey Creek church visit

We came to the area to visit our home church. We were looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay between church services. We found this to be exactly what we were hoping for. We loved the little studio in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. The owners were very friendly but never intrusive. We enjoyed sitting by the lake watching boats passing by. We had a very relaxing 5 night stay.

Most relaxing place on earth!!!!

Absolutely beautiful property that's sure to provide endless relaxation, and is tended to by the nicest hosts one can imagine. It's difficult to articulate just how incredible, peaceful and quiet the area is. I got some of the best sleep I've had in years here. Ammenities provided were perfect for my stay. Looking forward to hopefully returning sometime soon!

Great Views

This property is in a great location and has nice lake views. However the property itself is quite run down. It was also not properly cleaned. It was very dusty with dead bugs in the window sills and the dishes were not clean, among other things. With some maintenance and thorough cleaning this would be a much better place to stay.

Great alternative to a hotel room!

This is a great little alternative to a hotel room! It is a little dated, but it has everything you need for a short or long term stay. The location is beautiful literally right on the shores of Lake Oswego. The small kitchen is well equipped for casual meals. The queen sized bed is comfortable. The heated Saltillo tile floor is very nice. The bathroom is certainly workable, although the shower is on the small side. We stayed here a week and for the price it was a fabulous alternative. The owner was gracious and communicated well. We recommend this property.

Nice view of the lake

Nice property. The owners were able to get us in last minute during the busy summer month of July, which was awesome. The property is right on the lake with a nice view, in a beautiful LO neighborhood, and a short drive to lots of fun places/activities.

Got me in last minute, an enjoyable stay.

Cathleen was very kind and communicative, she got me in the same day I messaged her to see if the property was available, due to having to leave my last rental because it was not safe. So I am very grateful to Cathleen I was able to easily move to her property, I felt much safer and it was a very nice quiet stay. The property is very beautiful, I spent a few hours in the morning on the deck it was very nice and calming. The bed was comfortable and the linens smelled fresh and clean. I enjoyed my stay.

Nice View - great location

Located in a great neighborhood. Nice view of Lake Oswego. Studio and property is very old. Poor lighting, almost unusable shower, ceiling fan only worked occasionally, no hair dryer as listed. A couple bar stools would be nice as there was no way to eat except stand. Was not clear where the washer/dryer were as listed. In the winter this could be a cold place as half of the weather stripping under door is missing and one of the kitchen windows will not shut. Nice TV. Bathroom a real issue. Lovely bench outside to sit on. Parking is also an issue. A tight squeeze and often no place at all to to park. Sweet setting but has some issues.

Beautiful Oswego View

We explored the city and most popular attractions in Portland, then would relax on the deck watching the beautiful sunsets. The owners are friendly and made a nice studio above their garage with a little balcony. We loved the fresh crisp mornings and sipping on wine in the evenings. Such an amazing area with lots to see and do! Thank you Mack and Cathleen for a lovely stay!

Pretty nice!

This was a nice comfortable studio over garage with beautiful deck view of Lake Oswego. No complaints except that it was unclear where we could park along the back of the property. Although there is room for two cars to park without obstructing the garage entrances, a car was parked in the middle of this space throughout our week long stay. Not a big deal, but would be helpful to clarify for future guests.

A Little Slice of Heaven

The Walkers were great hosts, laid back, and were friendly to chat with. The apartment is cozy and clean and provides a nice view of Lake Oswego. There are two paddle boards we took out daily to explore the amazing lake and canals. The LO downtown area is a nice place to walk around and eat some good food. Its an absolutely gorgeous lake and renting this small apartment would be worth twice the price!
