About this property
Private Beach on Lake - Five (5) Bedrooms/ Four (4) Bathrooms
BLUE HERON COVE RETREAT
30 acres of wonder, surrounded by reality. Listing includes 2 separate suites that together include 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Private Lake access with beach, dock, camp sites, etc. Three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms on the lower level of the home and a 1 to 2 bedroom efficiency with full bath on the upper level with a king-sized bed and a queen-sized bed.
It features a convenient galley kitchen with a comfortable living room/dining room with a queen-sized sleeper couch.
The master bedroom has a private bathroom with a California king-sized bed. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed with a private shower. The third bedroom is a queen-sized bed. There are beautiful views of Camels Hump and the Ricker Mountain Basin and access to a private beach on the Waterbury Lake, an 800+ acre lake, that abuts to 1000's of acres of State Forest. Rental cars and taxis available in the area if you would rather arrive by train or airplane.
We are located within 30 minutes of 4 major ski areas in Vermont, Stowe Mountain Resort, Bolton Valley, Sugarbush, and Mad River. There is a great sledding hill just outside the door, a wood-burning fire pit to gather around (also outside), high-speed internet, cable, and wi-fi.
Guests have exclusive access to the hot tub, pool table, sauna, kitchen, washer/dryer, cable tv. There are also available sleds and snowshoes to use. During the summer the lake is a popular go to place with access to sand beach, canoes, and kayak. Walking paths, horseshoes, and an assortment of outside games.
We live in a separate part of the home and are available to answer questions about the home, the areas, where to go for great food, hiking, biking, breweries, wineries, museums, farmers' markets and special events. If a group doesn't need assistance, after check-in, we disappear but are available by phone for assistance.
We love the privacy, the natural beauty, the great swimming, boating, skiing, biking, hiking that is available at our fingertips. Award winning breweries, wineries, restaurants are within a few miles of this property.
In the winter, in this region, we recommend that our guests have 4-wheel drive vehicles. There is limited public transportation. Taxis are available.
Unique privacy aspect: Guests appreciate that they can stay up all night without disturbing neighbors. Enjoy late night sledding by moonlight and sitting around the fire pit.
Upon request we can provide you with information regarding fishing (including ice-fishing), ice skating, mountain-biking, outdoor concerts and more.
These things make our property truly unique.
All said, it’s as if you were at your own private resort

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Francine or Eric
We are Eric and Francine Chittenden, and we each grew up in Vermont. Eric is an ancestor of Vermont's 1st Governor, Thomas Chittenden. Francine was born in Quebec, and thus her 1st language is French. We both grew up on dairy farms. We got married in 1973, and founded the Cold Hollow Cider Mill in 1974, which rapidly evolved into one of Vermont's premier 'must-see' attractions. In 1980 we created Governor Tom's restaurant, an immensely popular eatery for 8 years. We sold the cider mill in 2000 to Paul & Gail Brown so that we could fulfill our growing 'bucket lists.' The mill continues to be very successful.
