Peace and quiet on the lake

OPEN FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL SEASONS! You will love the peaceful and private lake and have plenty of other great things to do while in the Berkshires. Very close to Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Lee Outlets, Theater, concerts, skiing, restaurants and much more. Or just hang out on kayaks enjoy mother nature and this rustic style home. The kids swimming at the beach. Sherwood Shoppe has everything you need for a camping feel and ice cream! The fall foliage doesn't get much better than this! Or enjoy this winter wonderland and all the Berkshires have to offer in winter. You will even enjoy watching mother nature come back to life right in front of your eyes in the spring,

Lake House Getaway with Access to Berkshire Highlights

This property provides direct access to a lovely lake for kayaking and swimming. It is also a terrific location for Berkshire musts such as Jacob's Pillow and Tanglewood. The owner is quickly responsive to questions and directions for check in were easy to follow. The house has strong WiFi for any work days you have while traveling. Highly recommend and look forward to staying there again in the future!

Peaceful Spot

We had a wonderful week in the Berkshires. This house was located at a quiet end of the lake and was a great place to return home to in the evening. It looked like the owner had made several improvements to the house, with a few more still left to do. The communication was excellent during the entire stay.

Charming lake cabin

I love this place! It's been beautifully remodeled and is very comfortable. I would love to visit when it's warmer, but it's very cozy in the snow. I can't wait to come back with my kids.

Peaceful lakeside retreat

Cute property tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Had the feel of a remote, rural cabin but super close to town and amenities. Check out the neighborhood general store across the street for coffee and breakfast. The couple that own and run it were super helpful.

Amazing and Clean Stay-cation

We wanted a place to get away from the Winter blahs and the craziness of life. This was a clean, cozy property. Everything we needed to relax and chill. Loved the puzzles! And be sure to visit the country store 1 minute away for an amazing breakfast. Exceptionally clean and the loft bed was so comfortable. Would definitely book again.

Cozy winter getaway

This was a cozy tucked away location that seemed far away from everything which was exactly what we wanted. The host was extremely communicative before and during the stay. The house had fresh linens and towels as well as basic cleaning supplies. It was cozy for a wintery weekend in. We enjoyed snowshoeing on the frozen lake! Pet-friendly was a huge plus!
