  Quel beau séjour au Vermont! La réalité est encore plus belle que les photos. La maison est très bien décorée avec une touche champêtre, très approprié pour l'endroit. Tous les électro-ménagers sont neufs et vous avez tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner avec en plus une vue spectaculaire sur le lac. La salle à manger est spacieuse ainsi que les autres pièces de la maison. Il y a 3 salles de bain, une sur chaque étage, toutes impeccablement propres. Nous étions 4 adultes et notre petit-fils d'un an et nous trouvions la maison très grande. L'endroit est tellement calme et relaxant. Et le propriétaire est très sympathique et toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions. Nous recommandons sans hésiter cette maison à notre famille et nos amis and we have to come back! Nous en avons profité pour visiter Shelburne Farms qui est situé à environ 1 heure de route. C'est un site à voir absolument. Adultes et enfants aimeront ce domaine.

  Owner response: Thank you for the wonderful review and so glad you enjoyed your stay at our lake house Herons Watch and hope to see you back. I used google for the english translation below, hope it did it justice. What a beautiful stay in Vermont! The reality is even more beautiful than the photos. The house is very well decorated with a touch of rustic, very suitable for the place. All electrical appliances are new and you have everything you need to cook with more spectacular views of the lake. The dining room is spacious as well as other parts of the house. There are 3 bathrooms, one on each floor, all spotlessly clean. We were 4 adults and our small-year-old son and found the house very large. The place is so quiet and relaxing. And the owner is very friendly and always available to answer our questions. We would definitely recommend this house to our family and friends and we Have to come back! We took the opportunity to visit Shelburne Farms is located approximately 1 hour. This is a site to see. Adults and children will love this area.

  Just got home from this lovely place. It was my first time staying in a vacation home, i was nervous to say the least. The owner was great and very helpful and returned all my e-mails even before i booked . The pictures do it no justice, It is very clean, modern and huge. There were 9 of us, 4 adults and 5 children and still had plenty of room. All the appliances were brand new and we enjoyed lighting the pellet fireplace in the family room on those cold vermont nights or lighting the fire pit outside. Brand new washer and dryer make it easy for a extanded stay. The children enjoyed the huge collection of kid friendly dvd's which were awesome on the family room big screen flat panel tv and the many board games provided by the owner. One of the most relaxing trips i have ever been on.Now i understand why it got so many 5 out of 5 reviews. You have to see it to believe it! We will be returning very soon!

  This place was everyhing that was advertised and more. I could not have asked for a better experience from communications with the owner, to the property it self. I am definitely planning on coming back.

  We had a great vacation at this house. The lake is beautiful and the views are spectacular. The layout of the house provides lots of space for large groups; the large deck was awesome as were the grounds. We brought two large german shepherds that were able to run free without problems - they loved it! What made all the difference was how accessible the owner was. He answered every one of our calls and followed up with us as needed. We felt secure that should there have been any problems he would have handled it immediately. Great peace of mind while on vacation. I recommend this house for large groups/families with kids/dogs. We spent 10 days here and had a great time. We would rent this house again!

  This house is lovely. Modern, well appointed and well equipped! The kitchen had all we needed for meal prep and the house had lots of space and entertainment opportunity including a selection of books, games and videos. The lake view from the back of the house was lovely. Owner's communication with us was outstanding!

  My family and I had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. It has plenty of space, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The kids enjoyed using the boats and jumping off the dock and just playing in the water. During our stay we visited Lake Placid, Burlington, Fort Ticonderoga and went tubing at Ausable Chasm which we all enjoyed. Dinner at Fire & Ice in Middle bury was fabulous. My favorite part of our stay was to sit on the dock and watch the beautiful sunset. The lake is so peaceful and the view is breathtaking. Duane was very helpful with all our questions. We hope to be back soon!

  The house was superb, has excellent view, everytinhg we needed for the stay and more. The espresso machine was amazing, and the wrap around porch gives excellent views of the lake and moutains. This trip was enjoyed by the entire family including the dog! The use of the boats was the icing on the cake! We will be back!

  My family and I had a wonderful time enjoying this beautiful property. The views were amazing, the beds SO comfortable, and the property was gorgeous. We felt comfortable and relaxed the entire stay. It was fun playing games downstairs watching the snow fall on the lake! We went into Middlebury for the Vermont Chili Fest and had such a great time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful vacation home with us!

  Great location! Quiet, beautiful house. I would love to go back in the summer, but the winter was incredible. The lake was frozen, very fun to walk on. The area is very friendly, very close to Burlington and excellent skiing. I would defintely go back!

  My husband and I stayed here recently for four wonderful days. Our daughter attends UVM and we decided we would like to stay somewhere outside of Burlington when we came to visit her. This house turned out to be absolutely perfect! It is very spacious, comfortable, and furnished beautifully. The kitchen is well equipped and the owner has done a wonderful job of providing everything you could possibly need to cook a great meal. Duane, the owner, was easy to reach when we had any questions. The lake view is beautiful and just as described! We also had our well behaved dog with us. There are several restaurants that we enjoyed while staying on Way Lane. The Black Sheep in Vergennes is excellent for dinner. We also had several breakfasts and lunches at 3 Squares Cafe, also in Vergennes that we would highly recommend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and definitely plan on coming back to Way Lane the next time we visit our daughter! Highly recommended!
