About this house rental
Light and bright defines the newly renovated cabin boasting spectacular wood throughout and freshly decorated rooms. Radiant heated marble tiles offer cozy warmth during cooler moments as guests gather in the large 20 x 20' kitchen. There is a downstairs queen bedroom and full bath with a Jacuzzi tub. The second floor, accessed by a fairly steep staircase, has another queen room, and a third room with two twin beds; these share a conveniently located half bath. The house has a large screened in porch and various spots both inside and out to watch the prominent wildlife. Bird lovers will be allured by an incredible sanctuary where ducks, blue herons, geese, songbirds and even an occasional bald eagle an be spotted! Outdoor activities such as running/biking, fishing/boating are an easy walk away. The abutting lake does grow weeds seasonally, especially in the summer months, which will limit water activities. For conditions during your stay message Jill.

We love this comfortable and well equipped cottage -- close to the Ashuwillticook bike path, great kitchen space, wonderful balcony and screened porch. We're repeat visitors and will return again!

This was a great spot, it felt like we were on our own private island! Cabin is on the small side, but has everything you need with spectacular lake views. My kids are in college in Mass and NY, so it was better to rent the house and meet there for Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful time. Antiquing and other activities in the area. Also great hiking, but a little too cold on our trip. We did miss having a dishwasher

We enjoyed relaxing, an easy walk to a great rail trail, visiting Balance Rock and great takeout food. Love that our pup is able to join us.

Very clean, comfortable and secluded without being isolated. A big portion of the backyard was literally underwater due to the unusual amount of rain. But the water was clean and the kids and the dog had a blast playing in it!

The house was very comfortable for our family of four. Very peaceful location perfect for relaxing out on the deck. The kitchen could use additional glassware and a new coffee maker. Otherwise the house is well equipped.

This lake house was exactly what we hoped for in an anniversary weekend trip. The wildlife, peacefulness, hot tub, and bonfire were all perfect. Jill was so quick to respond and seemed to really care about the quality of our time at her home. We’d love to come again!

We loved our stay at this cute, comfortable house -- drinking coffee on the deck and watching the birds, biking and dog walking on the nearby Ashuwillticook trail, relaxing on the screened porch in the afternoon. Very nice kitchen and bath, with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. House was cute and location was great for what we were there for , less then 15 minutes from skiing. There’s a target less then two miles away and
a good bar/ restaurant also two miles away. Good for a burger or a sandwich.
Communication with the property owner was outstanding, she was quick to answer any questions we had and to let us know she was there if we needed anything ! We look forward to coming back again.

Lovely location; extremely rustic
Me and my two friends (all late-30 mamas!) we're excited for a weekend without kids and booked this property. Location was great (amazing bike /walking path near by and well appointed for hiking, restaurants etc!), communication w property manager was great, but it was a little too rustic for our liking. When we contacted the property manager with a specific issue, she responded within minutes and did what she could to address the issue - which I want to note is both rare (such wonderful communication) and appreciated. If you are good with rustic, based on location/proximity to other great things, this is the place for you!!!! Would reco you bring your own towels, matches, toiletries.

Amazing!
This cottage is very clean, incredibly cozy and has plenty of space to enjoy a weekend without ever leaving. The rail trail is in walking distance and a quick walk results in phenomenal views. The kitchen is full of maps of other area hikes, as well. The owners were quick to respond when we noted we'd arrived and seemed genuinely interested in our happiness. We hope to come back in the summer and head out on the lake! The only negative thing about this place is that we had to leave!

Great Family Getaway
We loved our stay! The house was perfect for a family of 4 (and dog) big enough to get some family space but close enough to feel cozy. The view out the back to the lake was magnificent! The location was beautiful and conveniently close to getting quickly outdoors for a snowshoe and close to convenience stores and the like

Sweet spot on a quiet lake
Beautiful home and property! The house is clean and comfortable. The view is spectacular! It’s a quiet spot without feeling too secluded. We watched birds during the day and heard owls at night. The radiant floors and electric fireplaces are nice, warm touches. I’m not sure if it was a seasonal issue... but .. although there are kayaks, you cannot get to the water because the shore is congested with cat-tails, reeds, and fallen trees. Perhaps you have to go off property. But it’s all so beautiful to look at!

Three Days in the Berkshires
Our stay was fabulous! The home was warm and comfortable, beautifully decorated and very clean. The property was on a lovely pond with plenty of birds and much needed serenity. We were close to Mt. Greylock (gorgeous ride to the top), Williamstown and the hairpin turn in North Adams. There was plenty to do and there were countless photo ops! I recommend Brookhouse for a nice lunch. Helen, our server, was fantastic! My love for the Berkshires has been rekindled! I cannot wait to return!

Relaxing Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at David and Geeta's property. Its secluded location surrounded by nature, including fruit trees, makes for a relaxing time. Yet a short drive takes you to nearby towns with excellent food options and outdoor activities. We did take-out from several places due to COVID-19 and visited a few waterfalls.
The home itself is spacious and clean, with most essential items provided. We took advantage of the tub, fireplace and games available. Unfortunately, we forgot our binoculars so we missed on getting a close look at the birds that stopped by for a visit. As mentioned by others, the water is not accessible from the home during warmer months because the vegetation surrounding the shore is very tall. Note that even from the deck, this does lead to some obstruction of the beautiful water view but that's nature!
Our questions were quickly answered and we are grateful to David & Geeta for hosting us.

Relaxing stay at lakehouse
We had a wonderful week relaxing at the lakehouse. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. There are great hiking trails and towns to explore nearby, and as bird lovers we got our fill of hummingbirds, herons, and more. In summer the pond is covered with lily pads, so we would love to come back in the spring or fall to fish and kayak on the pond.

Quiet and peaceful
This recently-renovated property is clean, comfortable, well-equipped and well-maintained. We very much enjoyed the very private, quiet and peaceful location. We had a question for the owner and he was quick to respond and very helpful. The pond on which the property sits is pretty well weed-covered by August, appears rather shallow, and is not directly-accessible from the property owing to tall vegetation on the shore. On the flip side, the pond draws a wide variety of birds, so if you're a bird watcher, bring your binoculars. We found that there was plenty to see and do within easy driving distance. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would happily return.

Great getaway!
We loved the days we spent at the cottage! It's comfortable, cozy, and well-situated in a quiet area close to a lovely rail trail -- exactly what we wanted. Check-in and checkout were super easy and the owner was extremely flexible and accommodating when winter weather forced us to reschedule by a day. The kitchen is great, there are clear instructions for the house as well as maps and guides for things to do in the surrounding area. We look forward to coming back and enjoying the lake and the lovely outdoor areas around the cottage in warmer weather!

Beautiful views
Overall, my friends and I really enjoyed our relaxing weekend away. It was very clean and cozy. Nicely renovated with enough space to gather. It had just snowed so the lake looked beautiful, too! The house was equipped with enough toiletries and towels but limited on forks so definitely bring cutlery. The frying pans were small and older, too, so just plan for that if wanting to cook breakfast. Additionally, the original posting was a bit misleading in regard to additional guest fees because it’s a “sleeps 6” house but any additional guest over two is charged $20 per person per night. This wasn’t very clear in the posting and appears after check out, so just be mindful of that as well if booking for more than 2 people.
Overall, I would recommend this house and would visit again.

Perfect Getaway
This property is beautiful and so peaceful! We enjoyed staying warm by the fire and relaxing in the jacuzzi. My dog, Meka, loved watching the ducks from the deck and exploring Wahconah Falls (check it out if you have time!). Thanks so much David and Geeta! We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful Property
Stayed here for a week and could have stayed longer. The property is beautiful, peaceful and private. We walked the driveway several times a day to enjoy the waterfall. The house was just as pictured and very clean on arrival. The view off the back deck is amazing; we loved watching all the birds.

A true respite in the midst of a busy life .
This lovely home sits beside a small wetland-from the kitchen, living room and deck you could view and relax in all this natural beauty. The home was immaculate , the beds comfortable/ we were in need nothing.- it seems the hosts anticipated our every need . The host was readily available and returned our calls and emails promptly . We enjoyed the bike trail which we could walk to from the home and a new jacuzzi to ease our tired bodies afterwards . Stores , theatre are close by . We had an amazing time with family . We want to thank David and Geeta for sharing their home with us !

Serene and Tranquil
The property is lovely and private. Kitchen has all you need ( except a dish washer) . The grill area has beautiful view of the pond. Only negative was that the dryer was stuffed with damp linens, no towels in the bathroom . The ones we found were very old and the kitchen garbage had not been taken out.

Wonderful Place
My son and his two dogs enjoyed our visit to the lakehouse very much!! The house has everything you need, very clean and great location. We enjoyed having fires in the pit at night and hiking during the day close by. We would bring our bikes next time to ride the paved trail that is right around the corner. Definitely recommend this home for anyone looking to get away and relax. We loved it.

Yearly Girl's Getaway
We had an amazing time even though the weather wasn't great. There was plenty of room for all of us and the house was very clean. We had no issues. When I reached out to David to let him know we arrived and when we left he was very quick to reply. Thanks for making another girl's weekend memorable!!

Christmas at the Lake house
We absolutely loved our stay at this property in Lanesborough. We had total privacy and quiet with beautiful surroundings. It snowed a little just enough to have a white Christmas. Hiking trails around the area are scenic. People friendly and good restaurants. Our favorite restaurants were Freight Yard North Adams(cheeseburgers), Trattoria Rustica Pittsfield(Italian) and Halfinger Haus (Austrian) North Adams. The house was very clean and subtle amenities made it a very comfortable stay. Thank You!!
