This place was amazing. Such nice amenities lovely home and great place to host a birthday party. Loved the location and the owner was great communication wise.
This was a delightful gathering of dear friends who came across a few state borders to gather at this lovely spot and spend a weekend together. Beautiful, secluded with a wood stove, swimming and hot tub, it served the group perfectly. And if able we will definitely come again and again.
My friends and I visited for New Years Eve weekend and it was the perfect space to gather us all together. The lake view was beautiful and the hosts came by to refilter the hot tub when we reached out to them. We also enjoyed using the grill and fire pit. Plenty of blankets, towels, etc! Overall a very memorable weekend
This was our first Thanksgiving as a family at a rental property. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place. The property is peaceful, secluded, and spacious. We enjoyed all the amenities on the property. The property manager was excellent. She was very professional, courteous, and had great communication. We will definitely rent this property in the future!
Wow! We had an amazing weekend celebrating my husband’s 40th birthday with friends. The host was so kind and left us a Birthday Welcome package. The house and property were exactly as pictured. The house was beautiful with many updates. Everything was clearly brand new from the furnishings, linens, kitchen utensils and decor. The host even provided an additional air mattress for us. The huge tv was a hit! We couldn’t have asked for a better property. Thanks again!
We had a good time at the house. There were so many positives about it from the spacious layout, beautiful views, enjoyable dock with kayaks available, and great location. We were able to enjoy the beauty of the house and drive to some great surrounding areas like westerly and mystic. The grill and fit pit were a great addition to the house (note you need your own propane and firewood). They provided a lot of extras like condiments in the fridge and some tolietries in the bathroom.
We were disappointed the hot tub was not working during our stay & the AC upstairs struggled to keep it cool (even w the fans going). The house did provide a few extra fans though. Lastly, the house could use a deep cleaning. There is a lot of dog hair and dust stuck to things. We had a one year old that was crawling and constantly had hair or dust stuck to them.
A group of friends and I stayed at this property for a weekend and absolutely loved it! The access to the water is amazing, plus the sleeping accommodations are perfect for lots of people. The kitchen was also very well equipped and great for cooking for a large group. We had a great time, and I would highly recommend this to anyone! Hope to return soon.
This home was the perfect place for my siblings and I to spend the long weekend. My siblings and I always enjoyed summers in the Westerly, RI area and this home was the perfect distance between Westerly and Mystic (another favorite place). The home was clean and in a gorgeous location looking over a quiet pond. Strongly recommend this home and hope to visit it again.
We were 11 adults and one 4 year old, celebrating my husband's 70th birthday. The house was lovely, the setting was perfect, and the weather was a gift.
We loved being able to kayak on the beautiful pond.
The property was clean and as described. The location is beautiful and well appointed. We enjoyed fishing off the dock. Centrally located to many activiyes. Highly recommend this place.
My friends and I had an incredible time at this property. Just an hour and a half from Boston, we were shocked to feel so "off the grid" and enjoy some peace and privacy. The house is beautiful, modern, and very accommodating for groups. We really enjoyed the access to the pond, hot tub, and space for outdoor fun. Would 10/10 recommend.
This place brought back fond memories of the summers my children and I stayed at my grandparents camp in Maine. It was so peaceful and the lake was just wonderful. There were lots of things to do places to hike and visit. The kayak and standing boards plus the slide were a great hit for our teenagers different people stayed at different times. So there was plenty of room or all. There were condiments in the fridge so we didn’t have to worry about bringing or buying them, the only complaint my family noted was that the ice maker could have been cleaner. Checkin was difficult due to the ineptness of VRBO, not the host. VRBO did not factually list my vacation, so it took several phone calls to them. MY famiLY loved the layout, location and amenities. It is not very assessible. I have trouble with balance and had to have help with the entrance and steps as there were no railings. The biggest problem was that the address stated 37A but it was really 45 Barrie., that caused some confusion. My family and I look forward to visiting again in the future.
The property and location are awesome. They have all the amenities that you would need/want. Everything was clean and organized. Check in was very easy. We spent most of our days on the lake with the paddle boards or kayaks. It’s very secluded and peaceful out there. Would definitely stay again!
We managed to have a great time despite the cloudy, wet weather. The house was as advertised and there was plenty of room for us all. We swam, floated, kayaked and fished when the weather permitted and did a few day trips when it rained. We would definitely go back again and hope for more sunshine. We all agreed the best part of the house was its seclusion and privacy.
This was my first time using VRBO. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Absolutely blown away once we arrived. Property was so beautiful and well taken care of. The views of the pond from the house were breathtaking. Nice quiet area where we were all able to clear our minds and enjoy some family time together. I would absolutely book this property again. Kids loved swimming and using the paddle boards and kayaks they had at the house. Inside the house was very clean. Living room was perfect for a family movie night.
Family members from all over the USA and Caribbean enjoyed an unbelievable 4th of July party at Heron Hollow. Some of us not seeing one another for 10 years.
It was the ideal location for varied ages of 2 months to 80 years. The quiet times. Fragrant smell of flowers, buzzing bees, birds chirping, bull frogs croaking, the brighest stars. Active times. Daredevils jumping off rock formations, sliding down pool slides, paddelboarding, kayaking, finding turtles, laughing. Laughter, healing, family love.
Thank you Long Pond.
THE GOOD
• Beautiful setting.
• The pond swimming/kayaks/d paddleboards was enjoyed by all.
• The size and openness of the house and the patio.
THE NOT SO GOOD
• Getting here. The house is at the end of a long dirt/gravel road. That is not the issue. However, there was a sign at the beginning of the road announcing “Private Property – No Trespassing” that you had to ignore. Also, all GPS systems used to get here said we had arrived well before we actually did.
• The hot tub was drained and not functional
• Coffee maker had not been cleaned. The brew chamber was a ‘swamp’ with coagulated algae or mold in the tank.
• Latch handle to the storm door came off on our hand.
• The shower soap/conditioner pumpers in guest house were non-functional.
• A shelf in one bedroom fell off the wall with the weight of only a cell phone and small water bottle.
• One refrigerator and one freezer section were warmer than they should be and soon afterward the alarm was going off.
• The gas grill needed major cleaning.
• The spare propane tank was empty even though we were told we had a full spare.
• There was very little dish washer detergent.
• Bedrooms (all on the second floor) were hot at night with little or no A/C or ventilation.
• Even though the website states the facility is accessible, I can’t see how.
For the price paid (after rental + VRBO fees + cleaning fees + taxes) I had higher expectations.
Everything was fantastic: the setting, the spacious home carefully designed for togetherness and comfort. Everyone in our party loved the accommodations and enjoyed the house, which includes hot tub, coffee bar, separate office space, and several spaces to lounge around to talk, play games, and feast together
