This is our fifth year coming to the cottage and we just love how homey it feels. Vera is a spectacular host and always has the cottage clean and welcoming each time we come. The house is equipped with everything you would need for a relaxing stay including toys to play with on the pond if you don’t bring your own! We love that we’re so close to Hamilton for shopping as well as Ray Brothers for BBQ and the Trading Post for ice cream. The perfect oasis for a peaceful getaway! You will fall in love with it just like we did!

Just spend a fabulous week at the White Heron cottage!This was our 6th year here and there's a reason we keep coming back. The location is close to everything...Antique Week, shops and specialty stores, wonderful eateries and downtown Hamilton has made incredible changes and so enjoyable.Vera and Walt the hosts are incredibly accommodating and pleasant. There's not much if anything that we need to ask for, but when we do their response is immediate and efficient.There are lovely water toys and a great boat on the property and my husband enjoys the fishing while I shop.Thanks for another fabulous relaxing vacation Vera---see you next year!

Beautiful house in a spectacular setting overlooking the lake. We were very comfortable and appreciated the obvious thought and effort the owners have taken to make the house a wonderful place to stay. The air conditioning worked very well during the near record high temperatures we experienced. Loved my peaceful mornings eating breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake. Enjoyed the antique shops nearby in Bouckville. We appreciated that the owners provided a great deal of bottled water which we used for drinking and cooking.
