We had a wonderful time spending our 1 year wedding anniversary here! It was so peaceful & relaxing. We enjoyed watching the ducks and geese in the lake & using the kayaks. The shop down the road is a 2 minute walk and so convenient. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

This property is surprisingly spacious. The bedrooms are all good sized. The kitchen is well appointed and the furniture is comfortable. But the view...the view is stunning. The owners are very responsive. We enjoyed a very peaceful vacation. I would highly recommend this property. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful stay
The house was perfect. The screened in porch was a perfect place to start the day with some breakfast, the lake in the backyard along with a paddle boat, canoes and kayaks was also awesome. The house is located right down the street from a cute shop with great breakfast and also located near some grating hiking spots. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing, outdoors getaway!

Everything we needed
The house was clean and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked, especially important as we like to cook at home. Justin was responsive when I contacted him with questions. Love that the house was dog friendly with a fenced in back yard. The house has been updated inside but the deck needs some TLC, which I am sure are in the plans. A perfect get away!

Relaxing weekend at the lake
My husband and I had a very peaceful and relaxing long weekend at this lake house! It was very clean and has everything you need. We spent the majority of our time on the wonderful screened-in porch. The location was great and there was a little store/restaurant only a couple minutes walk up the street that was convenient and the food was really good! Overall, a great place to stay!

Birthday present
We rented the house to celebrate mom’s 70th birthday. We wanted a quiet, simple place where we could spend time together, visit, and spend time outdoors. That’s exactly what we got. We all fished and kayaked and enjoyed the peaceful scenery. Thank you.

Peaceful Retreat
We loved our two night stay in the forest :) The house was super clean, well appointed, quiet and relaxing. We didn't have great weather so didn't get to take advantage of the perfect spot on the lake or any of the kayaks or boats, but the location was a great jumping off point for visiting the various Berkshires towns.

A relaxing Easter weekend with family.
Thank you, Justin, for sharing your beautiful home with my family. We had a very nice time and relaxed in the beautiful quiet surroundings. I was so excited when I saw some Norwex items as I am a consultant and also use Norwex in my home. We hope to visit again in the warmer months as it was a perfect memory for our family. Thanks again, The Short family

Great Stay
Great stay after Christmas with wife and kids which included day trips to Jiminy Leak and Butternut for skiing. Lake house was perfect place to relax after ski day. Super comfy with everything you need. Nice walking around the lake and peaceful morning water view. Some minor items to look into for the next stay, screen doors are taking a beating, deck and steps were slippery and light bulbs need changing inside and out.
