  5/5

  Great stay. Kitchen was stocked with amazing herbs, spices and highend cookware for those that enjoy cooking at home. Library upstairs with great titles and house filled with very cool art. Extremely clean and very private location. Close to Butternut. Could not have heen better!

• Beautiful lake views

  5/5

  This is one of the loveliest and best equipped rentals we have ever enjoyed. The lake is beautiful for swimming, and we enjoyed performances at Jacob’s Pillow and Tanglewood, as well as the many wonderful attractions of the Berkshires. Highly recommended!

  From the Owner: "We are so happy you and your family had such a good time! We love having guests who really appreciate what we offer. It comes from years of renting vacation homes that were inadequately equipped and didn’t live up to the hype or match the photos. We want guests to be pleasantly surprised at every turn and excited to book a return visit. Thank you!"

• Oasis in the woods

  5/5

  What a great house! A peaceful, restful setting in the woods. The home is beautifully furnished with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of living space. The screened-in porch is a special feature, as is the hot tub. We enjoyed everything about this place, including the pond. We would love to come back in the fall, or any other time. What a great find. The owners were very helpful with suggestions, and very responsive. Highly recommended!

  From the owner: "Hey, Cheryl! What a lovely review! Thank you. You were wonderful guests and we are delighted you had such a great time and enjoyed the house so
  much. Please do book during autumn. The views are quite spectacular, especially with the forest’s yellows, reds, and oranges reflecting in the pond. Quite painterly!
  Of course, the hikes are great then and there is a lot going on culturally."

• Wonderful house in a lovely location

  5/5

  Beauty framed in every window of this comfortable home in the woods. Screened porch and deck look out onto the lake, that only the chilly temperature and rain kept us from kayaking on. Everything needed for enjoying our stay was provided and Katherine was so thoughtful and attentive as a host throughout. Although we didn't leave the peace and quiet for long, there is lots to do nearby. We enjoyed a delicious lunch (Zinc), pastries (The Lost Lamb) and an excellent bookstore (The Bookstore). We hope to return!

  From the owner: "Thank you for your lovely review! You were such nice guests and we love that you enjoyed your time here so much. Please come again in fairer weather so you can get out on and in the pond to boat and swim. Yet, I understand how the absence didn’t bother you that much. We have found it is the perfect place to breathe in slowly and exhale completely."

• Ready to visit again!!

  5/5

  There aren't enough incredible things to say about this property. Tucked away in the tranquil woods of the Berkshires, it's a true gem among gems. The floor to ceiling windows both upstairs and downstairs give a picturesque view of the lake that’s only steps away. Walk out wrap around decks, screened (downstairs) and open (upstairs), are the absolute perfect place to relax and soak in the nature that surrounds you. The upstairs den is a relaxing nook where you can start a fire, sit back with a glass of wine, and unwind to your music of choice streaming through any of the multiple Sono's speakers around the home.

  The icing on the cake was the master bedroom/bath. Skylights in both rooms let in the perfect amount of light, the bed is beyond comfortable with premium linens and the walk-in shower and standalone tub are absolutely amazing!

  The entire place is spotless. I'd go as far to say it was likely the cleanest we've ever stayed in (both for a hotel and short term rental) and the communication from the property owner was second to none. She made everything so easy for us from check in to check out.

  The location is perfect, central to the best ski resorts, restaurants, towns and shops that the Berkshires have to offer.

  Each detail within this property sets an overall experience that can best be described as a "peaceful, positive energy affirming vibe." If you're lucky enough to secure a week at this rental don't hesitate. We're already planning our next stay.
