Heron's Cove Amazing Getaway
A really amazing place. The pix here don't do it justice. This is a new build so everything is new new new and fresh. It's sparkling clean and very spacious. It's set up to entertain a full family, with lots of beds and three bathrooms. Everything is light and airy, and the floor to upper-ceiling windows make it feel like you're outside. The kitchen is amazing, and has just about every convenience you could ask for in a lake-side house (my mate says it even has a two-level oven). The early morning light in the space is stunning, and I'm guessing it'll be stellar in the summer months. It's close to the Shunock River pizza/brew-pub (where we ate dinner), the local winery (Jonathan Edwards?), and of course it's near the casino, the oceanside at Stonington, Mystic, and Waverly. However, I doubt you'd want to leave in the summer months as the view is wonderful, and the water is right there. Speaking of views, while we were eating breakfast, we were visited by one of the local BALD EAGLES. It flew over the water and landed in the tree right outside the window. I've never been closer to a real eagle. Julia and Cherie are the hosts (warm, nice people!) They answered all our questions, and had a couple suggestions for things we hadn't thought of. We'll be back, for sure.

Hello! We are the third generation of our family to summer on Wyassup Lake. My grandfather built a log cottage on this very spot in 1927 that lasted almost 100 years. This house is our new lake legacy to hand to the fourth generation, but also, to share this amazing place with you.
