About this property

Heron Pointe..where nature and luxury combine for an unforgettable experience

Relax and unwind in this charming completely redecorated 40's style cottage on 8 totally private and secluded wooded acres. Stroll the grounds, try a cast or two from the bridge overlooking our peaceful private stocked pond...or take a serene walk through the woods. You might even catch a glimpse of our stealthy blue heron.

Luxuriously comfortable furnishings, a wood burning stove, and a nicely appointed kitchen and many thoughtful touches not usually found, create a welcome retreat to let the cares of everyday life melt away. Think of Heron Pointe not just as a "rental." It's your exceptional home away from home!

Sun or have coffee on the back deck in total privacy with just the squirrels and the songbirds to keep you company. After sunset, star gaze with the one you love, cozy up to the garden or deck fire pits or build a true campfire in our campfire circle. Plenty of complementary firewood ...it's all here for you to enjoy!

Nature Getaway
The main purpose for our stay was to have access to the beautiful 8 private acres of land to walk with our dog off leash. And we were not disappointed. The grounds are beautiful and the trails are easy to walk. My dog enjoyed the large pond and running around. Every thoughtful detail is attended to by the owner Carol. She is a warm and friendly person and even returned something we forgot there to our house which is 30 minutes away from her! Outside on the deck there is some road noise in the summer.

Amazing Rental!
Carol and Pete were great hosts! Communicative and easy to work with. The house looks like it was decorated by an interior designer and is stocked with everything you could possibly need on your vacation. The house is set on a beautiful picturesque wooded lot. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Ewing

Host profile image
Pete and I bought the cottage and land that is contiguous to our home and other property in 2007 and then another private lot in 2019 and did extensive renovations to make it a super comfy and relaxing retreat. Originally planned as over-flow lodging for our family and friends, we realized that the guest house was truly a unique place, that we were blessed to be the stewards of this land and that we wanted to share it with others. And ta-da ...Heron Pointe was established and opened for business in 2009!

Since then we have continually added and upgraded the property and its amenities. We invite you to check us out! It would be our honor and pleasure to have you as our guests.

Why they chose this property

Many of our guests have told us there is just something magical about spending time in this guest house. The 8 private acre "estate" with a pond, gardens, acres of lawn, a huge organic fenced vegetable and herb garden, woods meadowlands and a waterfall offer something truly unique and special, with a feeling of peace, tranquility and healing permeating everywhere! A true private back to nature experience.

That is a lot to live up to and we have spared no expense to make sure our furnishings and offerings are all top notch and comfortable, cozy and of course, immaculately clean.

We clean, scrub, disinfect and sanitize following all CDC recommendations and because we only allow one group of 5 people at a time, we were offering "sheltering in place" long before it became a "thing!" Our guests' comfort, health and safety are always top of mind at Heron Pointe.



What makes this property unique

With about 7 1/2 acres of woods, gardens, lawn, wetlands, meadow lands, a huge organic garden open to our guests and the pond, Heron Pointe offers a bio-diverse and super private natural setting that offers luxury, comfort, restorative sanctuary and fun!
