Great property, just as it looked in the images.

Great location just one house back from Lake Beul with a 3-minute walk to the dock shared with several other houses. We spent most of our time at Tanglewood soaking in some great music but, when at the house we very much enjoyed the outdoor features. We had a small fire in the little fire pit on the patio every night; the bugs did not carry us away. We are regular Tanglewood folks and will try to rent this house again.

Our son and his family enjoyed their stay immensely!! This was a repeat visit from last year. While everything was great last year, they loved the work that has been done to make the place even better. They are hoping to return again next summer!!

A very nice stay. Communication with the host was great. We kept bothering her with questions and she responded quickly. The place is really beautiful. We lit a fire each night and played some of the provided games and watched Netflix. It's an easy drive to Great Barrington to get groceries at the Berkshire coop. We also took advantage of our surroundings and hikes on the AT a little each day. Next time we'll use the host's canoe to explore Lake Buel.
The only minor complaint I would have is the bed. We're used to a king at home so sleeping was a little tough. And, it's creaky. But it was very comfortable. Just smaller than we're used to.
I highly recommend this VRBO. We'll be back!

We're planning on coming back. Quite tucked away cabin on Lake Buel. Made the stay memorable from the get-go. We came here for a birthday weekend. They bought a delicious chocolate raspberry cake to welcome us. The directions to the property were clear and concise. We had 1 small hiccup forgetting keys in the house after we locked the door. They came by and unlocked it while we were out. Highly recommend this cabin.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! There was just enough room to have together time yet also have our separate spaces. The lake side neighborhood was beautiful to walk around and it was wonderful to know we had the option to canoe. Lindsey thoughtfully made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. If I find myself headed back to the Berkshires, I’d stay here again!

True cabin experience , We were so lucky to come across this gem and the couple of nights spent there were not nearly long enough.
Super helpful owners and although there were other cabins nearby we felt very secluded and relaxed, never crowded

We had a wonderful weekend staying at the cottage. It is very convenient to Great Barrington and the surrounding area where there is so much to do and explore. Communication with our hosts was excellent and they even left a treat for us as a surprise when we checked in.

House was nice. A little musty from the dense area that it is located in. Yard area need some TLC. Hard to locate after dark. But the trip was good and the lake is beautiful.

This is a wonderfully simple cabin that has everything you need and nothing you don’t. It is cozy, comfortable, and charming. We were here for two days and managed to swim in the lake twice, canoe once, s’mores over the fire pit, and relax a ton. Great hosts who checked in and made sure we knew the lay of the land. We really loved this spot and will be back.

Great place located on Lake Buel, felt welcomed immediately by amount of communication and information pre arrival. Upon arrival we were greeted by a personalized note and a treat from the owners. It was relaxing and we enjoyed the area immensely. As a native to the Berkshires It was a real joy spending time in an area that I don't often get to visit. So much history, culture, and charm.

This cottage was perfect for my son’s family. Clean, well equipped, just the right size for their family of four. The property manager left a sweet treat in the refrigerator for them…so kind! They liked the cottage so much that we have already booked it for another stay!

We only stayed for two nights, but this two bedroom cottage was perfect for the four of us. The bedrooms were small yet comfortable. There was plenty of space for us to spread out in the open living/dining/kitchen area. We were also impressed how clean the cottage was on our arrival. Parking for two cars was a bit tricky since there was not much of a driveway, but the garage was available.

We spent a week in Sept at this nicely designed, thoughtfully -equipped cottage in a very wooded area with other vacation homes nearby. It has everything you need: washer/dryer, dishwasher, range, microwave, TV for Netflix but no broadcast TV. Hosts were very helpful and responsive.

From the moment we opened the door it was paradise. I live in Florida and the lake, trees and the cool summer temperatures were divine. My cousin was staying in the other hosts home so it was perfect for communal gatherings. My whole family adored the place. The chocolate torte was dreamy that they hosts left too. Thanks!

Peaceful and perfect
We enjoyed a quiet, relaxing stay and loved everything about this house! It’s steps away from an amazing lake and minutes from Great Barrington. Owners were super attentive & responsive and left us delicious pastries upon our arrival. We enjoyed the canoe and brought our own paddle boards for added fun. The kitchen is well equipped and the house is quaint and clean. We would definitely come back and stay again. Thank you so much for an amazing stay.

Gorgeous, quiet, clean place with extremely easy access to lovely lake, gracious, helpfulhosts
House is tasteful, very clean, has all you need. Neighborhood is quiet and sheltered in the lovely woods. Lake is clean, beautiful, and just a tiny walk from the house. We were there less than 2 days and we went swimming and boating over and over and over. All enjoyed. Kids had a blast. We also enjoyed nearby attractions like Berkshire Mtn Bakery's bread and take-n-bake pizza, Berkshire Botanical Garden, and Berkshire Co-op What a pleasure!! Thank you so much, Lindsey and Steve

Fun winter getaway!
The cabin was cute, clean, warm, and cozy. A very quick walk down to the lake for ice fishing and a 5 minute drive to Butternut for skiing. The host had a fire ready and pastries in the fridge. Really couldn’t have asked for better :) Hope to be back soon!

Exactly what we hoped for!
This place was perfect for our weekend getaway! Tucked into the woods, lots of privacy with just a short distance to the lake for some pretty pictures. Also a great driving distance to many tourists spots. The hosts were very attentive and left us a delicious cinnamon apple cake upon arrival! Lindsey was readily available to answer questions during our stay and we felt right at home. We hope to be back again one day!

The Best in the Berkshires!
My wife and I spent four splendid days at this wonderful home, our second time renting this property. Lindsey and Steven are the most gracious, thoughtful, and hospitable hosts one could ever hope to find in the Berkshires, and their very clean, comfortable home is our favorite among the many other homes we have rented since we started vacationing in the Berkshires nearly 30 years ago!

Peaceful and Beautiful
We had such a nice stay here. The neighborhood is gorgeous and peaceful. I'm sad it was too wet for us to start up the firepit (it's more likely we were unskilled ha)! Even though the dock was out of the lake for the winter, we still took the really short walk (less than 3 minutes) to the dock area to look at the water. I'd definitely like to stay here again and for longer. Next time we'll have to look up to see if there are some trails in the area for a morning hike! Lovely!
