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.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The calm, serene views over the lake were the perfect backdrop for morning coffee (and sunset beer). We enjoyed kayaking across the calm lake with autumnal backdrop. Plus, the location couldn’t be better—close enough to explore the charming local towns but still wonderfully private and relaxing.The property was clean and well maintained just like in the photos, and the private dock was perfect for boating.Thank you for sharing this beautiful slice of lakeside paradise with us. We left refreshed, happy, and already dreaming of coming back!

The host was very lovely and attentive. The home was charming and well organized with everything you could need. The beds were very comfortable and the blackout Shades were greatly appreciated . The lake views were spectacular! Relaxing on the deck was truly an amazing experience. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back sometime in the future!

The house is spectacular. The hosts are absolutely fabulous and the personal check in is above and beyond other places we have stayed. Everything you could possibly need has been thought of in this home. Julia and Cherie were extremely helpful and have offered up a fantastic house right on the lake. The book of things to do and places to see was an added bonus. We will be back and if you’re looking at this home you definitely can not go wrong. Thanks again for sharing your piece of peace and tranquility.

An incredible hidden gem! Extremely close to all area attractions (Mystic, Foxwoods, new Great Wolf lodge, Westerly beach, vineyards, breweries, organic farms) yet the home is secluded in the woods beside the warmest clearest lake. Kayak and fish, take in the sun and stars! Large sturdy dock and sandy yard side water edge for kids to wade in. The house has everything needed for cooking meals, hosting friends/fam, to frolicking in the lake. Hosts are generous and communicative, provided detailed info about the area. Super clean, spacious, multiple separate areas, uncluttered, so restful. Tons of hummingbirds. A week to remember!!
