After a day exploring the Berkshires, which has recently been named the ‘most beautiful place in Massachusetts’ by Conde Nast, this cozy lakefront home is sure to be the perfect respite, surrounded by beautiful fall foliage year round.
Throw on your swimsuit, head down to the dock, jump in the pedal boat or pick out a kayak, canoe, or SUP to begin exploring the water. Anglers, feel free to throw a line into the water and troll for the night’s fish dinner. There's also an outdoor shower available for after your lake adventures.
The large deck with a safety gate boasts stunning views of the water and provides a wonderful space for morning coffee, meals, lounging, and cocktails. Another seating area surrounds the lakefront firepit in the yard.
If the kids are asking for dessert, grab the s’mores supplies and gather around the fire pit. Enjoy a movie before bed, and then retreat to any of the 4 cozy bedrooms (featuring brand new mattresses for 2023) or the futon on the porch, where you’ll wake up to sparkling water views. Whip up a hearty breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen and let the dog out in the fenced-in yard before beginning your adventurous day in the Berkshires.
New renovations for 2023 include brand new Simmons Beautyrest mattresses throughout, all with an adjustable incline up to 80 degrees, for reading, etc. New renovations in 2022 included all-new granite countertops, a gas range, sinks, and high-speed internet with a 50" Smart LED TV. Refinished floors on the porch, a new ceiling that includes a 96x40 dining farm table with 8 chairs, a Weber gas grill, yard games, 2 single kayaks, 16' canoe, 2 stand-up paddleboards, and a partial enclosure around the outdoor shower.
