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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

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!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway.

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!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

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.

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.

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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Wonderful home and everything is there. Plenty of games for young children, teenagers and adults. The canoes and kayaks were a definite plus for our active teenagers. The owner was very prompt in replying to emails and quickly refunded our deposit after our stay. However, I'm surprised that a previous reviewer checked the box about it being good for people with disabilities. There are a few steps that must be negotiated. This didn't affect us at all but thought I should point this out.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks for the wonderful review, so glad everyone had such a good time. We try to provide something for everyone. Also thanks for pointing out the people with disabilities comment in a previous review. Not sure what disabilities they were talking about but if there is problems with stairs this may not be a good fit. Once down the 12± fairly gentle stairs to the main level someone could get along fine since the dining, sitting, deck, bath and two bedrooms are on that level. The upper level, lower level and beach could be a big problem though. My 94 year old Mother is sooo lucky to be nimble enough to even be able to get down to the beach, we are blessed. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Thanks again, Duane

Our family including grandparents, uncles and aunts rented this property in late May for our daughter's graduation from Middlebury College We were thrilled to discover that it was as beautiful as the photos on the website. It was well maintained and super clean. The owner pays attention to every detail. Everything you may need is there. It was like being at home only better. The views are breathtaking! The owner was very patient with the many questions I had concerning the rental.The drive to Middlebury is very short and very pretty.We had 2 fabulous dinners at 2 Brothers in Middlebury and the Bobcat Cafe in Bristol, VT. All other nights we were at the fabulous dining table at the lake house. We all hope to return to this magical place in Vermont. Thank you!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Everything was great even better then we hoped for. The house was great everything was perfect from the ice maker on the fridge to the fire pit to roast marshmellows. I think we spent most of our time skipping stones fishing or just palying on the water. Just a nice relaxing fun time for family and friends.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Thanks so much!!! We had a wonderful visit and your home was perfect. Plenty of extras, very clean and just as described. We did a ton while we were there. Went on the Ben and Jerry's Tour, took a 10 mile bike ride through fields, woods, and back roads of Vermont, the men went to Lake Placid (which we had been to 5 years ago) while they women and kids went to Lake Dunmore, tubed down the Ausable Chasim in NY. The 4 adults went into Vergennes and had a fabulous dinner at Black Sheep Bistro, spent a day in Burlington and visited the campus of UVM (which our senior is seriously looking at attending :), took a boat cruise around Lake Champlain and last but not least spent 1/2 day at Shelbourne Farms. With all that we still were able to relax and enjoy your home. The wrap-around porch is the perfect place for playing games or having coffee in the morning and wine at night :). We watched plenty of movies (thanks for the wonderful selection) and fished and watched the dogs swim in the lake. Again, thanks for your wonderful home and have a great rest of the summer.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

We rented this for a family gathering for a college graduation. It was ideal for young and old alike. The 20 somethings took the smaller kids for canoe rides. Local villages and cemetaries provided fun for the older geneology buffs. Middlebury and Burlington are close enough for frequent restaurant or museum visits. We went to Shelburne Farms. After the extended family left, we had a restful few days contemplating the lake and enjoying the sunny weather. We enjoyed the extremes for joyous family fun and contemplative peace. Once of our best vacations ever. Especially thoughtful are the amentities. Wireless, satelite TV, kitchen gadgets, boats, expresso machine, ipod base and speakers...touches beyond the norm in a rental. Comfortable furniture for all ages. The decor is that of one's personal home, not vacation castoffs. The house is spacious, we never felt as if we were in each others' way. Owner communicates readily and was very accomodating. Our family will definitely consider visiting again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
