"This house was better than I had hoped. Beautiful, clean, basically on top of the lake. The hosts were delightful, and they even provided a welcome basket of foods we enjoyed."

Welcome to "Down the Lake" @ Heron's Cove! We look forward to creating a wonderful experience for all of our guests. Come and enjoy our light-filled great room, fully appointed kitchen, generous island with bar sink, and French doors to expansive deck with breathtaking lake views. In summer, have your morning coffee with hummingbirds, and spend the day swimming and kayaking from the private dock, visit the islands and look for blueberries. In spring, fall, and winter, enjoy your meals at the granite bar or the sunbathed table by the sliders. Prepare lunch on the Weber Genesis 3-burner grill. Enjoy some of our personally curated hikes, eateries, local adventures, wineries, or take a beautiful country drive into Mystic or Stonington for a classic New England small town experience. Kindle an evening fire in the lakeside firepit, prepare s'mores or popcorn, watch the moon rise over the water. Drop off to sleep on luxury mattresses, listen to the bullfrogs and the lapping of the lake.

This place is absolutely amazing! Julia met us at the property and kindly greeted us and showed us around the home and property. The pictures dont do this place justice. The lake is your backyard! And its just beautiful. Hummingbirds popping around. There is even a bald eagle that resides on the lake and was ever present with us while we were there. The eagle was flying all over the lake as if protecting it. Was amazing to see. A very large Heron also occuppies this space. If kayaking, grilling, lounging, and relaxing is what you are after, this is the place for that. Super clean and super great hosts! I will be back!!!!Corey

Absolutely loved our stay here! The calm, serene views over the lake were the perfect backdrop for morning coffee (and sunset beer). We enjoyed kayaking across the calm lake with autumnal backdrop. Plus, the location couldn’t be better—close enough to explore the charming local towns but still wonderfully private and relaxing.The property was clean and well maintained just like in the photos, and the private dock was perfect for boating.Thank you for sharing this beautiful slice of lakeside paradise with us. We left refreshed, happy, and already dreaming of coming back!
