Best ADK girls trip - second time staying at Heron Pond Hideaway

We just stayed at Heron Pond Hideaway for the second year in a row. We love the house, comfortable bedrooms, wonderful hot tub, and chefs kitchen for fun cooking together. There's enough beds for 9 women for a comfortable, relaxing stay and an easy drive from the capital district! We are booking a third year, already looking forward to 2027!

The home was beautiful and perfect for a large, multi-generational family. It was great to have so many nooks and crannies to spread out in. We loved the swimming pond and made great use of it. Thanks for the nets for catch and release frogs!

This beautiful and peaceful home was well situated for our large multi generational family reunion! Host was responsive and helpful. Caretaker on site (different building) was very nice, helpful and unintrusive. Kitchen was well outfitted - we appreciated the generous amount of kid friendly but nice looking plates, etc - no breakage worries!! The swimming pond kept the kids well entertained- swimming, catching small frogs! We did it all! fire pit smores night with amazing night sky, tree house sleep out, pool table and fuze ball tournaments, and a cozy movie night or two that fit our whole family of 12 comfortably! Location of home is very accessible to fun activities in area! Thank you - Would stay again!

Perfect Winter Getaway!

Our family of 13 had another wonderful stay at Heron Pond. The house has everything needed for big groups to spend quality time together without feeling on top of each other. Fantastic location minutes from Gore mountain. And the hosts are super accommodating, responsive and helpful whenever needed. We’re so so grateful for finding this house and it’s wonderful owners!

Winter stay

A well appointed and clean house with lots to do. We appreciated that the owner checked to ensure all was well. It was our second time at the house and would definitely recommend. We were two families - four adults and six kids and the house was plenty big enough.

Great time in a great house.

Clean, well maintained house with great amenities. Lots to do in area, but lots to do at the house in case outdoor activities are cancelled due to weather. Our kids adored the tree house.

Great getaway

Amazing property and excellent communication from the owner! We would definitely recommend this property for families. The kids loved hanging out around (and in!) the pond and are already asking when we can go back. It was a great week well spent relaxing and having fun adventures with family.
