About this cottage rental

“ROARING BEAR” cabin a fully restored and updated Adirondack style cabin originally built in 1922, situated on a pine forested hillside overlooking East Twin Lake- Lake Washining. It has a relaxed, attractive cabin decor featuring quality rugs, bedding, linens, quilts, antiques and original artwork.

Adjacent to a large 1500+ acre nature preserve, the cottage is private, but not remote (about 1200 ft distant above the lake), yet away from and above the typical noise of a Summer Lake cabins and close nearby cottages. A private dock and swim float are down at the lake and the rental includes a canoe or kayak.

There are two large (unscreened) porches at the cabin to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, lake and mountain views facing westward to the southern Berkshire Mountains (Taconic Range).

Power boat and pontoon boat rentals, breakfast and lunch are available at O’Hara’s Landing, just ¼ mile from the dock and cabin.
A complete new kitchen has recently been installed with stainless gas stove cook top, cabinets, corian counters and double stainless sink, microwave, convection oven, dishwasher, butler refrigerator and wine cooler. The water pressure system has also been enhanced to provide comfortable amenities, but preserve its woodsy cabin appeal.

Twin Lakes is situated nearby the Salisbury/Taconic, CT, South Edgemont/Sheffield/Great Barrington, MA areas with a wide range of great restaurants, equine centers, performing arts, music and dance festivals and chamber arts programs including Tanglewood, Music Mountain, Jacobs Pillow, Sharon Playhouse, Infinity Music Hall and Yale Summer Summer Music Programs at the Battell Stovkel Estate in nearby Norwalk. There are also a number of local vineyards nearby offering an opportunity to try local area wines of superb qualities while meeting new or old friends.

In addition to myriad water sports, kayaking, canoeing and fantastic fishing opportunities on Twin Lakes, there are hiking trails on site adjacent to the cabin as well as numerous nearby access points to the Appalachian Mountain Trail system within 2 miles.

Twin Lakes is an exceptionally unique area, with a wide variety of amenities which has largely been undeveloped by the building of new Lakeside "mega homes" and clear cutting of properties to enhance owners personal lifestyles and views while destroying everyone else’s which has occurred in many other formerly beautiful lake areas.

Primitive at best.. cabin/driveway/dock area. Everything in desperate need of maintenance. Cannot keep food inside or out(where refrig is) due to ants/bears/spiders. No A/C or TV.. furniture (inside and out) all in desperate need of updating. Does have a view in one direction.. albeit shady and damp.

That half-mile of rugged driveway really makes you feel like you are leaving civilization for something simpler, pure, and primitive. Although the rustic cabin has all the basic and a few not-so-basic comforts, the real pleasure of the place is the immersion in nature: views of deer cavorting from the porch, fireflies flickering in the treetops, birdsong at daybreak, summer rain on the roof, the smell of pine sap, the taste of fresh berries ripening at the forest's edge. Can't wait to return!

The location of this cabin is stunning - the views of the twin lakes are clear from the porch, living room and bedrooms. Cabin is simple and clean and has everything you could need - great place for grilling and eating outdoors. Our kids (ages 5 and 7) also loved it. We spent our afternoons down at the dock everyday to close the day. Perfect launching spot for nearby towns and attractions!

My husband and I rented this cottage for a long weekend July 2013. This place was terrific...we spent a long weekend here and enjoyed every minute of it! It was super secluded and quiet, exactly what we were looking for coming from the crowded and noisy city. It is definitely a little rustic but that is exactly what makes it soo charming and cute. The view of the lake was spectacular, and each evening we would watch the sun set over the lake. We swam and fished on the lake during the day, then walked back up to the house for dinner. There is a little farm stand very close by where you can purchase fresh produce (its the cutest little stand!) and the kitchen at the cabin is fully equipped with everything you could ever need to cook. The owners Susan & John seem like lovely people, and they were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. This is such a lovely place with great access to everything...beautiful surroundings...a fun place to stay! We would definitely come back again and are looking forward to the next time make it up there!
