The property has a beautiful spot on the lake with great views. Extremely quiet and peaceful. Home is pretty accurate to the listing, a couple of minor upgrades would help tremendously. But overall, great family spot that was very clean and comfortable. Property manager Rick was excellent. Very responsive and easy to contact.

Stayed here in September 2021 as a way to get away for a few days. Never been to the Berkshires and this property is located on beautiful Ashmere Lake. Location was excellent if you wish to stay on property and want quiet. If you want to access the main Berkshire towns, plan at minimum a 20 minute drive (30-45 for Lenox, for example- mileage is deceiving). The other thing people should know is that both bathrooms are on the first floor, so those that are sleeping on the second floor would need to come downstairs at night to use the bathroom. As I stayed in the first floor bedroom, this was not a problem for me. I would go back.

We had a wonderful time at this lovely waterfront home. The rental process was simple, the property manager followed up with information and the house was equipped with everything we needed. The house was everything we expected and more.

The house was just right for us. Kids loved the little beach, and pulling sunfish out from the dock.

Plenty of room, beautiful lake views and direct access to water. Perfect, kayak and paddle boat were lots of fun. Just stayed a bit warm upstairs.
