May time relaxing and refreshing

The only reason I didn't rate accuracy 5 was related to the picture that shows the house from the lake. When you come down the driveway you see the front. Fortunately, Christine told us to look for the Gazebo.

Perfect Fall weekend with friends

We never left the house once we checked in- it was that perfect for us. Most beautiful views of the lake and surrounding woods, comfortable and ample furnishings for 6. The beds were super comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

Lakeside in the Berkshires

This home was perfect for our family over the thanksgiving weekend. It has three levels and that provided privacy while the living area was open. Very clean, comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen and good location for exploring Stockbridge and Lenox. Hiking trails and canoeing made it great for activities. The owner communicated answering questions promptly and left simple instructions for the home. Loved staying here.

Quiet Weekend

Enjoyed a relaxing and quiet weekend stay. The property was wonderful, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. Everything was just as described. The house was clean, spacious and extremely comfortable with more amenities than we could ever need for a weekend stay. Would be a wonderful place to stay for a week or even longer, and we really enjoyed our weekend. Excited to come back again. The owner was great to communicate with.

Lake house

Our stay was wonderful. Perfect for two families. The house was lovely, beautiful view looking over (the frozen) lake. Kitchen stocked with basics and super comfy couch and living room area. Kids loved the downstairs play area. We had a great time!

Siblings Getaway

Nice Siblings get away. There were 6 of us and we had a very nice time. Tucked away place, Very quiet most likely because it is off season and mid week. It was very relaxing so we could enjoy ourselves.

Wonderful spot!

We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay here! Everything you need is provided, and the owners' attention to detail is evident throughout - from the labeled light switches to the booklet filled with recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. Beautiful views of the lake are provided through the large windows on the first floor and the expansive deck. The owners checked in during our stay and were very responsive. The local country store is a few minutes drive away for picking up essentials. Great spot for families, and the home has plenty of games, puzzles, books, and toys that can be used during the stay. Overall, a great, quiet spot to get away, slow down, and relax.

Relaxing and perfect for girl’s weekend

The house was perfect for a relaxing weekend with the girls. There were six of us and everyone slept well. The king bed was shared by the deepest sleepers with no problem. The view was extraordinary and the weather cooperated giving a gorgeous sunrises. We slept well, ate well, and the living room couch was very cozy. Three of us even went kayaking but it was hard to get out because they dropped the water level of the lake. But we hiked through the neighborhood and thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company in this beautiful location. Christine checked in several times and was a communicative and gracious host.

Winter retreat

This is our second time staying here as we love being directly on the lake. It’s peaceful during winter time. We got to watch ice fishers and even got to skate for a little bit. We stayed during a rare time with negative temps reaching -17 degrees so we didn’t get out too much. The place is perfect to retreat and plenty of space. Kitchen fully equipped. The owners are lovely and quick to respond to any questions or issues you may have. My one piece of advice is if you are staying during the winter time and get a storm the roads are not sanded as it’s a private road. There are hills and it can get very icy. Luckily the owners were able to have the neighbor spread some sand so we could get out. Also, the driveway is steep so if older folks are staying that is something to be mindful of. You have to use a sled to transport your belongings to the house. Regardless we had a great stay and a beautiful view!

Friends getaway

We were two couples getting together. The house was remodeled and was a beautiful space with a view of the pond from the entire main floor. The house was well stocked and had plenty of space. We visited Lenox, Great Barrington and went a hike. Definitely would rent again if in that area.

Clean, comfortable, well-stocked and wonderful lakeside home

The house is recently renovated, with nice furniture and woodwork and a well-stocked kitchen. A big deck overlooks the lake (which is the Big Pond in Otis, not the Reservoir, so it's quieter, which we liked). Everything was clean and comfortable, check-in and check-out were easy and communication was smooth. The two upper bedrooms are separated by a curtain and don't have doors, so that works fine for a family but might not be great in all situations. However, it was all in all a great lakeside getaway.

Great Lake Stay

Great experience at this lake house. The place is much bigger than I thought. Lots of room if traveling with family or friends. My 6 year old daughter loved the toys downstairs. The lake view each morning was so peaceful and I even got to see a bald eagle fly over the lake! The water was a bit higher after some much needed rain so no small beach area for my daughter to play but it's October so it wasn't a big deal. The home had everything you needed to cook a full meal. The tub in the master bedroom was a favorite for this mama and my daughter that is was pretty cool too. Great communication with the host. For sure will be back and for a longer stay to enjoy it more! Thanks so much Christine!

Marvelous getaway

Our close group of friends gathers once a year in the fall for a reunion focused on fellowship, food, music, movies, and conversation. We enjoy hanging out in outdoor spaces with nice views and enjoying water activities, hiking, biking, etc. This property was the best we've ever enjoyed. The house was well appointed and in a beautiful location with water views from the deck, living room / kitchen, fire pit, dock, etc. The accommodations were comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. The owners checked in on us and made the stay easy before, during, and after. We loved the weekend and plan to be back.

Lake house nirvana

Wonderful time for me and my family. Very relaxing and beautiful. The depth of the water right outside is perfect for younger children. My 6 year old grandson took to the small kayaks like he was born on them. My host Christine was very quick to respond to my questions starting in December when we first booked and including the week we visited. This was my first time booking with Vrbo and it was awesome!
