About this house rental
Welcome to "Down the Lake" @ Heron's Cove! We look forward to creating a wonderful experience for all of our guests. Come and enjoy our light-filled great room, fully appointed kitchen, generous island with bar sink, and French doors to expansive deck with breathtaking lake views. In summer, have your morning coffee with hummingbirds, and spend the day swimming and kayaking from the private dock, visit the islands and look for blueberries. In spring, fall, and winter, enjoy your meals at the granite bar or the sunbathed table by the sliders. Prepare lunch on the Weber Genesis 3-burner grill. Enjoy some of our personally curated hikes, eateries, local adventures, wineries, or take a beautiful country drive into Mystic or Stonington for a classic New England small town experience. Kindle an evening fire in the lakeside firepit, prepare s'mores or popcorn, watch the moon rise over the water. Drop off to sleep on luxury mattresses, listen to the bullfrogs and the lapping of the lake.

Our family had a great week at the lake! So relaxing and peaceful. Julia and Cherie were quick to respond to any questions we had, the house was clean and very well stocked. We all enjoyed the hummingbirds, the deck, the hours of entertainment on the lake, and the view can’t be beat! We absolutely love the area and will definitely be back!

Our stay was wonderful from beginning to end, even though the weather did not cooperate on the last couple of days.
Julia met us on site and gave us key pointers about the home and layout. She also shared great ideas about local places to go.
The house was impeccably clean and had everything we needed. The lakewater was refreshing and very clean. It was awesome going out for morning kayak and paddle boarding, and even more fun hanging around on the floats in the midday sun.
The birdwatching was beyond phenomenal. There is a resident bald eagle that will swoop down over the lake - he’s absolutely majestic! His name is Baldy. There’s also this sweet little hummingbird which, that will actually perch on the deck wire.
If you need a place to run away and decompress, you’ll find it here. Highly recommended.

The perfect family vacation right on the lake!!. What a wonderful home with its own private dock, kayaks, lots of fish and so much more. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with wine and yummy treats. This place has everything for the family in the most peaceful setting and we absolutely loved every minute. We were all sad to leave and can’t wait to stay here again. You will not be disappointed.

A really amazing place. The pix here don't do it justice. This is a new build so everything is new new new and fresh. It's sparkling clean and very spacious. It's set up to entertain a full family, with lots of beds and three bathrooms. Everything is light and airy, and the floor to upper-ceiling windows make it feel like you're outside.
The kitchen is amazing, and has just about every convenience you could ask for in a lake-side house (my mate says it even has a two-level oven). The early morning light in the space is stunning, and I'm guessing it'll be stellar in the summer months.
It's close to the Shunock River pizza/brew-pub (where we ate dinner), the local winery (Jonathan Edwards?), and of course it's near the casino, the oceanside at Stonington, Mystic, and Waverly. However, I doubt you'd want to leave in the summer months as the view is wonderful, and the water is right there.
Speaking of views, while we were eating breakfast, we were visited by one of the local BALD EAGLES. It flew over the water and landed in the tree right outside the window. I've never been closer to a real eagle.
Julia and Cherie are the hosts (warm, nice people!) They answered all our questions, and had a couple suggestions for things we hadn't thought of.
We'll be back, for sure.
