The closed shed stores life vests, inflatables and oars/paddles. Semi-steep gravel driveway to a shale shoreline and dock. Shore is not sandy and when water level is low the water can be murky and weedy. Small boat launching access right on property. Backyard large lawn near the barn is perfect for entertaining, lawn games (crochet, badminton, volleyball, horse shoes provided) or just relaxing. With 2.5 acres of land, there is lots of space for parking (cars and boat trailers) and pets to run. Fishing can be done right off our dock, as the area is a popular spot for local fishermen. Swimming conditions are not optimal when water level is low, at the end of the summer, so we provide a canoe, rowboat, 2-person kayak, and paddle boat in addition to inflatable rafts and tubes to enjoy the lake. Life vests and oars are provided, too. VT tax ID# MRT-10901045

Our family has outgrown the childhood home! We wanted a place near us where everyone could have their own space but rooms big enough for us all to congregate! This home fit the bill perfectly! Very comfortable furnishings. Big open spaces with high ceilings. Huge table where we all had our meals together. Plenty of space for our four year old granddaughter to successfully play hide and seek! Nice master suite on the top level where we all sprawled out and watched movies at night. Plenty of games were available for us to choose from. We played a couple of rowdy Uno games! All in all a successful solution to outgrowing our little home and letting us all be together! Would love to come again during the warmer months too!

I can’t say enough about this beautiful property! The location is quiet and very secluded and the home is so comfortable! We felt like we were home from the moment we walked in.
The highlight is definitely the view of Lake Champlain! We spent a majority of our time on the second floor deck looking at the lake and bird watching. The view of the lake from inside on the second floor is spectacular as well. Our little dachshund had such a blast watching the chipmunks and being out on the deck with us.
The beds were so comfortable and the entire house was loaded with all types of amenities. Just a fabulous, fabulous place! The homeowners communicated so well and gave very thorough instructions. We can’t wait to plan our next trip!

We had a perfect trip. We were a group of 6 with 2 children. The children did not want to leave. If you love nature this is the place to go. The fishing was excellent. The canoe and kayak provided were great. The floats were provided too and we loved them. The lake is beautiful. We only left the house one day to see the shops in Burlington. We just did not want to leave the lake. The house has everything you need and was the best equipped house we ever rented. Thank you for providing the perfect location and home.

This was our third summer staying at Pat and Charlie’s place! Their home on the lake affords a lovely view of Lake Champlain! The kitchen is equipped with most anything one might need for meal prep. There is plenty of room to spread out on the three levels. We especially love the huge dining table that allows our group to all sit down for a nice meal or an intense game of scrabble. Pat and Charlie were always quick to respond to all questions and concerns. I strongly recommend this lovely home for a stay!!

Our blended family of 6 adults stayed here for Middlebury College’s graduation weekend. It was a perfect fit for all of us to be together. The location is gorgeous, too!

We stayed for 8 days (us, our 2 young adult kids and our dog), and the house was as lovely and well furnished as promised. I could have done with a tad more spring in this spring break, but that is, as they say, a “me problem.” My family had no such complaints. I would love to return when Lake Champlain isn’t iced over and we could use all of the gear the owners provided for water fun. All in all, a restful setting with all the creature comforts, and the owners were responsive to the small questions we had early in our stay.

We so enjoyed our stay in Bridport. We sat on the porch and watched the leaves on the trees across the water turn colors. We watched the ducks on their daily commute. It was just peaceful and lovely. Thank you, Pat and Charles!

We were in Bridport for a wedding. This was the perfect location to relax and also explore this part of Vermont. This home had everything we needed for our 3-day stay! One person in our group had a minor issue with hot water. Charles was very quick to reply and it was an easy fix! We thoroughly enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the deck!

My family spent a wonderful week on Lake Champlain at Herron's Watch. The property and house were accurately described. The house was fully stocked with whatever was needed. The upper level covered deck provided beautiful views of the lake and had ample seating and room. It lacked a table that would accommodate 6 adults though the lower level did provide a large picnic table and inside had ample options. The setting within this cove on the lake was very private and peaceful. We enjoyed the firepit, lawn games and the tranquility of the surrounding countryside. I recommend it highly.

Heron’s Watch was an incredible place for our weeklong family vacation in late summer. We spent mornings drinking coffee on the porch overlooking Lake Champlain and enjoyed paddling and fishing by the house. The house is well appointed, clean and comfortable…we cooked most of our meals and were quite satisfied with the well stocked kitchen. Would come back in a heartbeat!

If you enjoy "lake time,'" this is the place for you. Great view of the lake, kayaks ready to use, and a fire pit overlooking the lake.
In addition, the house is roomy, and has all of the comforts of home. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This was a much needed respite from a really hectic year for our family. The house was well appointed and comfortable. The owners were very easy to communicate with and responsive. We loved kayaking, watching eagles and ospreys fish, playing yard games (which became much easier after the really long grass was mowed), and just chilling out. The house has three full bathrooms which was perfect for our clan. The beds were comfortable and best of all, during a very hot and humid week the house had air conditioning which made all the difference. We didn’t mind the lake weed, as others have complained about. We rented a boat and swam offshore. The water is super cold! I had forgotten that about Champlain. Great vacation hone and we’d love to stay again.
