This house is immaculate. Loved the fire pit and the jacuzzi. Very comfortable house. We spent quite a bit of time relaxing on the deck of the living room. We did get a bit lost getting there, but the caretaker, Jill, was readily available and not only helped us with directions, but gave us suggestions on where to go for groceries, etc. Very friendly and helpful woman.

Lovely home next to lake. Many hiking/lake spots within a reasonable drive. Lovely small waterfall along the driveway. Very close to rail trail. Walk to fishing spot as well as good fishing in nearby lakes. As noted in the property description,on/in the lake activities during the summer months are limited by plant growth in the lake. Spent sometime watching the birds on the lake. Dog friendly. Would stay here again.

Quiet lakeside retreat

We love this comfortable cottage and quiet location, perfect for a relaxing vacation spent bird watching, biking the nearby rail trail, and hiking with our dog. This was our fourth time staying here-- impressed with the beautiful updates to the master bedroom, now a suite with its own bathroom! We'll be coming back again!

Great Spot

This was a great spot, it felt like we were on our own private island! Cabin is on the small side, but has everything you need with spectacular lake views. My kids are in college in Mass and NY, so it was better to rent the house and meet there for Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful time. Antiquing and other activities in the area. Also great hiking, but a little too cold on our trip. We did miss having a dishwasher

Great time

Very clean, comfortable and secluded without being isolated. A big portion of the backyard was literally underwater due to the unusual amount of rain. But the water was clean and the kids and the dog had a blast playing in it!

Perfect Trip!

Great spot for a few day stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. House was cute and location was great for what we were there for , less then 15 minutes from skiing. There’s a target less then two miles away and a good bar/ restaurant also two miles away. Good for a burger or a sandwich. Communication with the property owner was outstanding, she was quick to answer any questions we had and to let us know she was there if we needed anything ! We look forward to coming back again.

Lovely location; extremely rustic

Me and my two friends (all late-30 mamas!) we're excited for a weekend without kids and booked this property. Location was great (amazing bike /walking path near by and well appointed for hiking, restaurants etc!), communication w property manager was great, but it was a little too rustic for our liking. When we contacted the property manager with a specific issue, she responded within minutes and did what she could to address the issue - which I want to note is both rare (such wonderful communication) and appreciated. If you are good with rustic, based on location/proximity to other great things, this is the place for you!!!! Would reco you bring your own towels, matches, toiletries.

Amazing!

This cottage is very clean, incredibly cozy and has plenty of space to enjoy a weekend without ever leaving. The rail trail is in walking distance and a quick walk results in phenomenal views. The kitchen is full of maps of other area hikes, as well. The owners were quick to respond when we noted we'd arrived and seemed genuinely interested in our happiness. We hope to come back in the summer and head out on the lake! The only negative thing about this place is that we had to leave!

Great Family Getaway

We loved our stay! The house was perfect for a family of 4 (and dog) big enough to get some family space but close enough to feel cozy. The view out the back to the lake was magnificent! The location was beautiful and conveniently close to getting quickly outdoors for a snowshoe and close to convenience stores and the like

Three Days in the Berkshires

Our stay was fabulous! The home was warm and comfortable, beautifully decorated and very clean. The property was on a lovely pond with plenty of birds and much needed serenity. We were close to Mt. Greylock (gorgeous ride to the top), Williamstown and the hairpin turn in North Adams. There was plenty to do and there were countless photo ops! I recommend Brookhouse for a nice lunch. Helen, our server, was fantastic! My love for the Berkshires has been rekindled! I cannot wait to return!

Sweet spot on a quiet lake

Beautiful home and property! The house is clean and comfortable. The view is spectacular! It’s a quiet spot without feeling too secluded. We watched birds during the day and heard owls at night. The radiant floors and electric fireplaces are nice, warm touches. I’m not sure if it was a seasonal issue... but .. although there are kayaks, you cannot get to the water because the shore is congested with cat-tails, reeds, and fallen trees. Perhaps you have to go off property. But it’s all so beautiful to look at!

Relaxing Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at David and Geeta's property. Its secluded location surrounded by nature, including fruit trees, makes for a relaxing time. Yet a short drive takes you to nearby towns with excellent food options and outdoor activities. We did take-out from several places due to COVID-19 and visited a few waterfalls. The home itself is spacious and clean, with most essential items provided. We took advantage of the tub, fireplace and games available. Unfortunately, we forgot our binoculars so we missed on getting a close look at the birds that stopped by for a visit. As mentioned by others, the water is not accessible from the home during warmer months because the vegetation surrounding the shore is very tall. Note that even from the deck, this does lead to some obstruction of the beautiful water view but that's nature! Our questions were quickly answered and we are grateful to David & Geeta for hosting us.
