Neat small cabin. Good bed, tv, appliances. Cutting a dozen trees around the property would make it more enjoyable. By mid-morning any access to the sun was gone.

It was a perfect retreat. My wife and I had just finished a demanding school year and needed time for ourselves. Water surrounds and the peace that offered us was just what we needed to reconnect and downshift. Thanks, Jan. You guys keep such a lovely respite in great condition. Can’t wait until when we can return.

Heron Dance cottage was a quiet and peaceful getaway. In a great location, this cottage was well outfitted for preparing meals, contained comfortable furniture and the bed was firm. The views out to the Lake were exceptional. The landing and the way down to the Lake made for easy swimming. Jan was friendly and approachable. The neighborhood roads facilitated daily walks. We highly recommend this property.

I wasn't sure what to expect having never been to Vermont, but I liked the location & our daily drive from Burlington back & forth to the property. Every evening upon returning, we would look for the deer. Plenty of wildlife like chipmunks & squirrels to watch as you relax. There are local options in South Hero as well as North Hero. Lovely place.

A nice, remote cottage, great for relaxing and disconnecting. Excellent nearby hikes for fun times in the woods. If you have dogs, be careful of the rocks by the lakeshore as they can cut up the pads on their paws.

We had a wonderful week staying at this beautiful property overlooking Lake Champlain. The sunrise views were unbelievably beautiful! The cottage was nicely furnished and well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this secluded and tranquil location, and loved that it was also close to parks, restaurants, stores, and other conveniences. Thank you!

A wonderful cottage on Keeler Bay. So peaceful and quiet!
Cottage is rustic but has everything you need. The owner is there on the property for any questions but does not intrude.

The cottage/cottage was absolutely the perfect "home base" for our trip to Vermont. Jan was a delightful host - so thoughtful and kind!
The space is perfect for a couple. It has a nicely appointed kitchen - we cooked light meals most evenings after sightseeing each day and enjoyed the 180 degree views of Lake Champlain!
It is a little bit off the beaten path, but the view makes it completely worth it! We would absolutely recommend this property!

This was our first trip to Vermont. The cottage, owned by Jan and Sue, was very inviting. The view of the lake from the cottage was amazing and beautiful. Jan welcomed us on our arrival and was a very good host. She was very knowledgeable about places near to visit. My husband and I left very relaxed. Would highly recommend this charming cottage. We look forward to returning in the future.

This little cottage was perfect for just what we wanted and needed. Two outside decks over-looking the lake, window with amazing views, mountains, quiet, stars in a dark sky. Comfortable bed and furniture inside and out. Deer in the field at dusk. Everything you could possibly need in the house and a friendly host. And, burlington less than thirty minutes away when you do feel like trying some wonderful restaurants. This stay checked all the boxes. I want to return soon!

We loved every part of our stay. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. The foliage was like something out of a book. We loved our visit to the surgarbush maple farm. Great cheese and syrup. The cottage had everything we needed. The only thing we did not like was the size of the bathroom. The shower was small. The bed was very comfortable. The cable is local but we got watch shows we had not seen in a long time the small amount of time we were there. Jan was a great host. We hated to leave.

An absolutely delightful cozy cottage on lake Champlain. Every little detail was thought by Jan & Sue . The incredible sun rise from all the rooms in the cottage was definitely the highlight. Thx Jan for a fabulous week of a serene vacation . We look forward to coming back.

Lovely in its simplicity. The perfect location at the tip of Kibbe Point allowed us to watch the "sky show" over the water every evening. This was just the place to relax, read, and enjoy nature. We brought our bikes...which is a must as the Champlain islands are great for biking. A wonderful no pressure getaway. Jan was such a gracias and responsive host.

This was an absolute gem of a find!! The cottage was adorable and super clean. We relaxed everyday !!! Kayaking on the lake was so peaceful and walking the backroads of Vermont ahhh so pretty. We sat on the deck overlooking the lake at night “not that you couldn’t see the lake from every angle in this cottage” stars and the sound of the water hitting the waters edge you just can’t help but be relaxed. We went out to the farmers market and ate fresh veggies everyday! This is definitely a go back vacation! Sad to leave. Thank you Jan and Sue for sharing this little piece of heaven!!

This intimate, charming cottage is perfect for a one person or a couple's getaway. It is located right on Lake Champlain with your own personal sitting area at the water's edge. I saw a fantastic sunrise over the lake every morning right from bed. Speaking of the bed, it was very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with utensils, microwave, pots for cooking, nice stove, and fridge. The shower water pressure is quite good for a cottage. The cottage is on the property of the owners, so if you need anything, they are close by and helpful but never intrusive. It truly is a place to unwind and get away from it all. Bottled water is recommended for drinking. The owners request you supply your own bed linens and towels. I absolutely adored this cottage and the area. I will be back for sure! Thank you Jan for a wonderful place to stay.
