Relaxing by the Lake
Heron Dance cottage was a quiet and peaceful getaway. In a great location, this cottage was well outfitted for preparing meals, contained comfortable furniture and the bed was firm. The views out to the Lake were exceptional. The landing and the way down to the Lake made for easy swimming. Jan was friendly and approachable. The neighborhood roads facilitated daily walks. We highly recommend this property.

Relaxing stay
I wasn't sure what to expect having never been to Vermont, but I liked the location & our daily drive from Burlington back & forth to the property. Every evening upon returning, we would look for the deer. Plenty of wildlife like chipmunks & squirrels to watch as you relax. There are local options in South Hero as well as North Hero. Lovely place.

Nice rustic retreat
A nice, remote cottage, great for relaxing and disconnecting. Excellent nearby hikes for fun times in the woods. If you have dogs, be careful of the rocks by the lakeshore as they can cut up the pads on their paws.

Heron Dance Cottage Review
We had a wonderful week staying at this beautiful property overlooking Lake Champlain. The sunrise views were unbelievably beautiful! The cottage was nicely furnished and well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this secluded and tranquil location, and loved that it was also close to parks, restaurants, stores, and other conveniences. Thank you!

Heron Dance
A wonderful cottage on Keeler Bay. So peaceful and quiet! Cottage is rustic but has everything you need. The owner is there on the property for any questions but does not intrude.

Breathtaking Views
The cottage/cottage was absolutely the perfect "home base" for our trip to Vermont. Jan was a delightful host - so thoughtful and kind! The space is perfect for a couple. It has a nicely appointed kitchen - we cooked light meals most evenings after sightseeing each day and enjoyed the 180 degree views of Lake Champlain! It is a little bit off the beaten path, but the view makes it completely worth it! We would absolutely recommend this property!

Amazing
This was our first trip to Vermont. The cottage, owned by Jan and Sue, was very inviting. The view of the lake from the cottage was amazing and beautiful. Jan welcomed us on our arrival and was a very good host. She was very knowledgeable about places near to visit. My husband and I left very relaxed. Would highly recommend this charming cottage. We look forward to returning in the future.

Peace and serenity
This little cottage was perfect for just what we wanted and needed. Two outside decks over-looking the lake, window with amazing views, mountains, quiet, stars in a dark sky. Comfortable bed and furniture inside and out. Deer in the field at dusk. Everything you could possibly need in the house and a friendly host. And, burlington less than thirty minutes away when you do feel like trying some wonderful restaurants. This stay checked all the boxes. I want to return soon!

Calm and relaxing
We loved every part of our stay. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. The foliage was like something out of a book. We loved our visit to the surgarbush maple farm. Great cheese and syrup. The cottage had everything we needed. The only thing we did not like was the size of the bathroom. The shower was small. The bed was very comfortable. The cable is local but we got watch shows we had not seen in a long time the small amount of time we were there. Jan was a great host. We hated to leave.
