Carly was so helpful and went above and beyond to help us out. We needed a place to stay last minute and she did everything in her power to get us into her property with very little notice. The property is beautiful and very well appointed with everything you might need for your stay. The kitchen especially was equipped for us, who love to cook. Thanks again Carly, we can’t wait to come back!

Great Home Near Bristol Mountain

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!

Weekend Getaway

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.

The perfect stay!

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!

Perfect porch

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.

Owner was very friendly and responsive, however , for the high price point of this off the lake property it was in serious need of a thorough cleaning and maintenance . We had to sweep the porch , screens were missing or very dirty some window screens were laying on the porch , overgrown exterior and stained bed linens , stove and oven were dirty , garbage in basement laundry room had not been emptied in quite some time.

Thank you for your feedback—I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'm so sorry to hear that the home did not meet expectations in terms of cleanliness. That’s never the standard we strive for, and I’ve already followed up with our cleaning and maintenance teams to address the concerns you raised. Thank you again for your honest review—it helps us improve, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to provide a much better experience in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Carly

Host profile image
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.
