Our group spent a fantastic 4 nights here. Beautiful deck with a world-class view. Extensive amenities in the kitchen. The kayaks and fishing poles were appreciated. Very private - feels like the lake is there just for you. The deck can get a lot of sun but the overhang next to the guest house is convenient for anyone who gets overheated. Having an ice maker available with a large group was definitely appreciated. This place is fantastic and we're already planning our next trip down!

Perfect location!

Located lakeside at the end of a long dead end road, this property could not have been more perfect. The owners have made full use of the view with open indoor spaces, large windows and multiple outdoor spaces. This includes a great dock, paddle boards and a slide. Everyone was delighted, and we ranged in age from 6 to 86. A fabulous vacation.

Awesome Getaway Not Far From Boston

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.

NYE weekend

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

Amazing

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 Reunion

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.

Picture perfect weekend

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!

Nice but many issues

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.

Perfect home and location Just what we needed.

Our family is spread out over the country...Colorado... North Carolina...Pennsylvania, and we wanted to get together to celebrate the memory of our brother on his birthday this year. We found this place with the name of "Hope Valley" and hoped for a peaceful location to be able to spend time as a family without a lot of noise where the focus of the trip would be on enjoying time spent with family without the distractions of everyday life. The home is more beautiful in person that the pictures could possibly show. I am grateful to have been able to experience the peace and tranquility of this waterfront property as well as the spacious and comfortable home that we were able to share with our whole family. The owners of the home, paid attention to the details...so we didn't have to. The beds were comfortable and the blankets/sheets, towels, and kitchen supplies were all provided and though we didn't need them, there were 1st aid kits throughout the house. We didn't have a chance to get out on the water, but I hope to get back some time in the future to be able to explore the pond on the paddle boards and kayaks that were provided with the home. It was the perfect home and location and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to be able to stay here with our family.
