Fodor's Expert Review Heron Haus

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

In a stately, ivy-covered mansion built in 1904, this bright and lovely Tudor Revival home sets you on a lush, fern-covered hillside within walking distance of Forest Park, overlooking the trendy Nob Hill shopping and dining area, and just a 10-minute walk to the streetcar. Simple and elegant, the style favors orchids over doilies and a color scheme of whites, tans, and pale blues. Each bedroom has a gas fireplace, work desk, and private bathroom with a shower. The outdoor patio and a glassed-in sunroom offer comfortable access to the natural beauty of the grounds. A home-cooked breakfast is served and freshly baked cookies, port, coffee, and tea are offered every afternoon.
