Heron House was a fantastic property, and located very close to Bristol Mountain. The house was great and easily met our needs, and Carly was amazing to work with and checked in on us very regularly to make sure everything was okay or to see if we needed anything. Can't wait for our next stay!
This home is spacious and they have thought of everything you could possibly want. The kitchen was equipped with two ovens that we needed and put to good use. Beautiful view in a quiet, private setting. We enjoyed staying here very much, the host was very helpful and communication was great.
Our family takes 6+ trips to the finger lakes each year, with that we have stayed in many different homes. This one by far has been the cleanest, coziest, and just perfect over all. Carly was helpful and quick to respond. We will definitely be back!
The house was exactly as described in listing. Easy to check in, clean, and plenty of space. We enjoyed our winter stay, close to Bristol Mountain and relaxing/peaceful as we came back to house is evening. Host was very responsive to any of our questions.

About the host
Hosted by Carly
Born and raised in Rochester, NY I grew up visiting the Finger Lakes. As a competitive swimmer, I swam across Canandaigua Lake several times (width wise!) with my teammates. Now that I’m a little older, with two little ones in tow, and two fur babies, I enjoy spending time with my family – baking, cooking, hiking, swimming, and traveling.
