Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed | Bedroom 4: Queen Bed | Porch: Futon

After a day exploring the Berkshires, which has recently been named the ‘most beautiful place in Massachusetts’ by Conde Nast, this cozy lakefront home is sure to be the perfect respite, surrounded by beautiful fall foliage year round.

Throw on your swimsuit, head down to the dock, jump in the pedal boat or pick out a kayak, canoe, or SUP to begin exploring the water. Anglers, feel free to throw a line into the water and troll for the night’s fish dinner. There's also an outdoor shower available for after your lake adventures.

The large deck with a safety gate boasts stunning views of the water and provides a wonderful space for morning coffee, meals, lounging, and cocktails. Another seating area surrounds the lakefront firepit in the yard.

If the kids are asking for dessert, grab the s’mores supplies and gather around the fire pit. Enjoy a movie before bed, and then retreat to any of the 4 cozy bedrooms (featuring brand new mattresses for 2023) or the futon on the porch, where you’ll wake up to sparkling water views. Whip up a hearty breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen and let the dog out in the fenced-in yard before beginning your adventurous day in the Berkshires.

New renovations for 2023 include brand new Simmons Beautyrest mattresses throughout, all with an adjustable incline up to 80 degrees, for reading, etc. New renovations in 2022 included all-new granite countertops, a gas range, sinks, and high-speed internet with a 50" Smart LED TV. Refinished floors on the porch, a new ceiling that includes a 96x40 dining farm table with 8 chairs, a Weber gas grill, yard games, 2 single kayaks, 16' canoe, 2 stand-up paddleboards, and a partial enclosure around the outdoor shower. Last but not least, the property now includes central forced air heating and full insulation.

We understood from the VRBO listing that this would be a lake side cottage and not a modern palatial home. However, we found big contrasts. The deck is right at the lake shore and dock and is outstanding, the screened in porch was very nice. Beyond that, the house needs help. The listing could have made it clearer that there is not dishwasher or laundry. Several lamps needed to be replaced, and the kitchen is small with limited work space. We had a lovely week, mainly on the deck, but several minor upgrades and improvements would be helpful.

This rustic property is in a wonderful location along a wooded dirt road, with a deck literally overlooking the water. The sunroom with the dining table and futon is the best part of the house! The view will definitely bring the blood pressure down. The owner was great to work with and very responsive. The kitchen is well stocked with items needed for meal prep, but keep in mind there is no dishwasher. The water toys were all in great shape and easily set into the water from the dock or steps (once the dock is removed for the winter). The outdoor shower is *heaven* and there is plenty of outdoor seating for a larger group. There is even a retractable fence at the steps of the deck to keep little ones (or pets) safely on the deck. The bedroom configuration is a bit unexpected, in keeping with the multigenerational aspect of the house. The two white wall bedrooms have their own bathrooms (one is full and one is half). The third (full) bathroom is in a tiny hall between the king room and the wood paneled queen room and is the only one with a tub. The bathrooms are small but functional, and I mention their locations as it may help others decide if this house works for them or not. Finally, be aware that there are neighbors on each side of the house, but during our stay none were present so we enjoyed the quiet.

This property is so special! It sits literally next to the lake shore. The calming views reduced our blood pressure and the lake activities - kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, floating - were relaxing and fun. Plenty of room for many with 3 bathrooms! We enjoyed the getaway and we were grateful the property is on VRBO! Recommend for family gatherings or good friends who want to make memories.

Great family reunion place!
Great family reunion place!
Great place for family reunion! My wife and I and 3 kids with their spouses and an infant with dog all fit comfortably in the 4 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. The fenced in yard was key. Outside deck and enclosed porch were right on the water with spectacular views of lake and Berkshires. 20 minutes to Stockbridge for shopping and restaurants! Only slight negative was a lot of seaweed when swimming due to the shallow water, but otherwise very clean lake.

Spectacular lake house has everything you could possibly want in a rental! Great for all water related activities, excellent setup for our dog with roomy fenced in yard. The house itself was immaculate with stunning views of Lake Buel from the windowed porch or spacious deck. Owner David was easily available if needed.

Our group had a great time at this house! The location right on the water is fantastic and waking up on the lake was the best part. Overall our stay was very enjoyable. We did not have any issues with our stay, it is an older cabin so it does have its quirks but nothing that would prevent me from staying here again.

Great location.
Great location.
The description did not include the fact that linens and towels were not provided. The tv reception was lacking to say the least. But the location is absolutely beautiful. You can't get any closer to the lake. There is also no central heating but there are electric heat units. Kitchen is fully stocked. A grill and fire pit are on the deck. Plenty of chairs outside as well.
