4Br/3bath Lakefront/Ski House in Berkshires. Hi speed wifi

Lakefront property with own dock on Otis Reservoir with beautiful views and garden. Great for fall foliage. For ski season: 25 minutes to Butternut, 55 minutes to Jiminy Peak, 6 minutes to Otis Ridge, and steps from lake for cross country skiing, snow-mobiling or skating. 4 minutes to 'downtown East Otis' with Katie's Country store, Knox Trail Inn, and gas station with all essentials. 15 minutes to Tolland St Park, 12 minutes to Jacob's Pillow, 35-50 minutes from Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Co, Rockwell Museum, Outlets in Lee, and the rest of the Berkshire's attractions. Max of 4 cars winter, 6 cars if no snow. AWD/4WD recommended if snow/ice -- fairly steep dirt road to go up when leaving house.

House has full working kitchen with china for 10+, pots and pans, cooking utensils, two refrigerators, electric oven with 4 glasstop burners, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig, and dishwasher. Their is an outdoor 5 burner gas grill. Seating includes dinner table for 6, bar stools for 4, the screened-in porch is used during 3 seasons and seats 10. Also has a washer and dryer and a back-up power generator.

The basement has a full sized pool table, dart board, and separate ping pong table. The 42' HDTV hooked up to a Roku with FUBO TV. This includes all major networks, NESN, NBC Sports Boston, ESPN, most cable channels, ability to record shows to view later (and FF through ads). Roku also has Netflix and can support anything else you stream (HBO, Showtime, ...). New high speed wifi (400 MBps, unlimited) through optical fiber internet. Selection of "board" games for young and old. There is a full washer/dryer and a second fridge in the basement as well.

Warm weather rentals: The house comes with its own dock 75 feet from the back deck. There is a boat lift if you have a boat 18feet or less. Also available are a canoe and 2 kayaks that can be put into the water. Otis Reservoir is a highly desirable lake because it is drained down 25+ feet every winter thus killing all seaweed. The water is beautiful and clean for all swimming and boating activities -- no green algea or seaweed. The reservoir is 1/2 mile wide and 4+ miles long. House has a wet room for storing all tubes, paddles, life jackets. Also, it is on the eastern shore of the lake which means it gets the afternoon sun -- more likely to be swimmable on marginal days. Also, good fishing right off the dock (for smaller fish).

Outdoor motion detector light and camera added to provide safe, monitored access to the house.

Annette

Liked: Communication
The location was beautiful. Directions for parking and access to enter were clear. The house felt more like someone’s personal residence than a vacation rental. There were clothes in the closets, food left in the kitchen and no iron and ironing board. The mattresses sagged so we all rolled to the middle when sleeping. With some furniture updates and better cleaning to address the musty smell, cobwebs and ants, this could be a gem.

Beautiful View on the Lake

This family vacation home is large and well furnished. Comfortable, including the beds, which is one of the first requirements for a codger like me.The lake view from the large living room was a great backdrop for chilling out in the spacious greenroom.Kitchen was well-furnished, laundry worked perfectly and there was plenty of gas for the grill. Make sure you grocery shop before you get here, local markets are small, limited.Thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay.

Perfect family weekend in Otis MA lake house

This was an exceptional spacious lake house with fantastic views of Otis reservoir! Clean clear water. You can walk down to the dock. We saw a bald eagle from the large deck. We were 9 adults, and we all had plenty of space with everything we needed! Lots of hiking spots nearby.
