Relaxation at its Finest

A fabulous week at the White Heron Cottage. This is our 4th year's stay and each year is as fabulous as the one before. The local restaurants we have found are amazing and convenient, the friendships we've made here are memorable, the antique shopping second to none and the hosts, Vera and Walt are accommodating and the best! This is truly God's country. We will be booking year 5 very soon!

Relaxing Retreat

We spent 4 days visiting family in the area. The house was spacious and spotlessly clean with a beautiful view of Leland Pond. We enjoyed the quiet woodland setting. Communicating with Vera and checking in were super easy. We will definitely stay there again.

A charming and relaxing cottage

We enjoyed having a charming and relaxing place to come and go while our daughter attended a hockey camp at Colgate. It was so peaceful to kayak in the pond, fish at the end of the dock and read on the balcony with a cup of coffee. The hosts were also very responsive and helped us troubleshoot when one of the air conditioners stopped working until we got it working again. Thanks for sharing your lake cottage with us.

Peaceful Getaway!

Our second year in this beautiful little cottage and the absolute perfect getaway. My family lives close by so this gives us a great opportunity to have our own space and enjoy being on the water and still have room to entertain relatives. The cottage contains everything you would need for a comfortable stay along with all the fun water toys and Vera supplies many more extras to make you really feel like its your own home. We can't wait to come back again!!

A little slice of heaven!

We have been staying here since 2020 and every year it gets better and better. The new construction has allowed us to bring our family rather than just my husband and I which the family has come to love. Being on the water and having all of the "toys" to play with is a huge plus. The interior provides plenty of room and is always so clean and inviting. I couldn't recommend a better place to stay in the area. You feel miles away but have everything you need less than 10 min. away. You can't go wrong renting this little gem!! Can't say enough good things about the cottage or Vera!!

Great setting close to Colgate.

House is very comfortable and clean. Lots of natural light. When current construction is completed will easily accommodate 3 couples or a family. Great owners, easy to communicate with. Loved the dock and outside decks that are right on a fishing pond. House has all you need with exception of dishwasher.

Peaceful Stay

My two boys and I had a wonderful time. The area is so peaceful. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, using the kayaks and just taking in nature. My little guy loved swimming in the lake despite the cooler weather. The cottage was just perfect for us with everything we needed - and very clean! Vera was quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend this rental!

Lovely Stay

We enjoyed our 3 night stay very much. The first floor bedroom and bath was ideal for my 89 year old Mom. Thankful for water and coffee bar. We visited family and shopped Madison Bouckville. Location was perfect. Enjoyed lunch at Seven Oaks CC and a great breakfast at Hamilton Inn. The cottage kitchen was well equipped for meals we cooked. We love the Mosher farm stand just up the road. Ice cream at Cobblestone very close by, too. Unfortunately, it rained a bit so we didn’t get to use the pretty decks too much. Still the pond view was spectacular. The new Delphi Park was a short distance away as was Chittenango so we saw 2 waterfalls. Highly recommend.

About the host

I have lived in this area my entire life and love the many lakes and rolling hills. I finally realized one of my dreams of owning a cottage on a lake! I couldn't have found a more perfect fit at Leland Pond. I have three daughters and one granddaughter who will be enjoying the cottage occasionally. Travelers needing a quiet, clean home away from home can rent for 2 days or a week!
