--KITCHEN & DINING--
One of the best parts of a Berkshires getaway is sharing a meal with friends or family, and our contemporary kitchen has everything youāll need to whip up a gourmet feast.
The sleek stainless steel appliances include a gas stove with a hood, oven, full-size fridge and freezer with a water and ice dispenser, microwave, and dishwasher.
Because we want your mornings to be as enjoyable as possible, we provide a coffee maker and a toaster, plus a blender in case youāre in the mood for a smoothie. Weāve also stocked the cool blue cabinets with cookware, dishes, and glassware.

--LIVING SPACES--
Although outdoor activities like skiing and snowshoeing might bring you to the Berkshires, the cozy times with loved ones by the fireplace will make you want to come back year after year.
In our living room, you can enjoy gorgeous natural light during the day and a relaxing atmosphere in the evening. Kick back and relax on the couch, stream your favorite shows on the smart TV, or just chat with your travel companions over a glass of wine. The gas fireplace is controlled with a switch, so you can be cozy-warm in no time!

One of our favorite parts of our cottage isnāt even inside, but outside.

In the winter, once the trees have lost their leaves, you can also admire lake views from the desk.
Beneath the desk is our spacious, grassy backyard that contains ample space for the kids to run around and play. In the evening, youāll love winding down by the fire pit, which is perfect for roasting sāmores. Stay out after the sun sets for spectacular views of the starry sky.
--ESSENTIALS--
The entire home is equipped with heat and WiFi, so youāll always be comfortable and connected. Please note there is AC in the main living space and nearly every room (including both bedrooms) has a ceiling fan, which keeps the house cool during the summer.
Weāve taken care to furnish our cottage with luxurious vinyl floors, stylish barn doors, and thoughtful decor, so we thank you in advance for treating it with respect.

Please contact us if you have any questions about the home or our area, and we hope to host you in the Berkshires soon!

We had a great time in this open plan house, which was very well equipped with everything you need (especially great coffee - a must). You can drive to Great Barrington and Lenox from this house - and you must go to the town beach for a swim in the beautiful lake. Annette was a great host and was quick to answer any questions. Wonderful.

We had such a relaxing long weekend! The house is so beautifully decorated and extremely clean. We enjoyed cooking and grilling. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need if you forgot to bring something with you. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate during our stay so we didnāt get the chance to enjoy sitting out on the deck, but instead we had a blast sitting around the kitchen table playing card games and board games and watching movies. The hosts are so thoughtful! We hope to stay here again sometime soon!

Great place to stay and disconnect in a quiet location. Been through Otis many times, but never knew the lakes were so large. House is well furnished and comfortable. Will look to book again in the fall or winter.

This house was beyond beautiful and fully equipped with anything you could need! The location was great for getting around and was nice and quiet! Would definitely stay here again!

Words cannot describe how wonderful of an experience it was to stay on this property. It was immaculately clean. It was stunningly gorgeous. It was insanely comfortable. There were so many little extras and details. We had a running joke in our group whenever we would discover a vase of freshly cut flowers, or a drawer with an amenity we were not expecting to shout, "Annette, you spoiled us again!!" I cannot recommend this property enough. Book it immediately.

Our family had a great stay at this home! Very quiet, close to water access and new / modern details. Kitchen was fully stocked and beds were very comfortable. Our kiddos loved having the loft to explore and have their own space. Highly recommended the property. The owners are very responsive.

Beautiful and comfortable home to stay in and that was great bc we had rain every day. Plenty of room inside and out for kids and adults to play in. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Big deck and yard. Pics were accurate but house is nicer in person.

This is our second stay at what my kids call the "snow house" and we can't wait to go back. We traveled with another family of four to introduce our kids to skiing at Butternut and made so many memories in the process. The perfect house for traveling with kids. Each couple had the privacy of their own rooms and the kiddos had the run of the loft. We cooked a huge family meal and then sat around the fire relaxing before we did it all again the next day. Super clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and welcoming. See you in a few weeks!

8.0
The house was clean and organized in a beautiful, quiet location. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was user friendly with every tool you need to make a good breakfast. I would recommend this place to a friend, with the caveat that it seems like the owners live next door. There were two instances where it seemed like the owners had been at the house when we were out, which made us a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, the trip was great.

The property is exactly as pictured, spotless, newly updated, a quiet neighborhood just back from the water (no access) with gorgeous foliage views in the fall. It's clear great attention to detail was paid with creating this space. The gas stove, comfy seating, cozy blankets, and comfy bed were all appreciated as well as the beautiful and fully stocked gourmet kitchen. The deck was lovely, also with comfy furniture and we enjoyed grilling and making s'mores (generously provided by the owner) over the fire pit. Having a spacious laundry room was an added bonus. This is perfect for those looking for a city escape. Communications with the owner were prompt, seamless, and helpful. Highly recommend!
10.0
The accommodations were spacious with plenty of room for our group to comfortably be together while eating indoors or out, chatting or sitting around the in ground fire pit.
The beds were comfortable and the entire space clean and very well organized (plenty of explanatory tasteful labels with lots of necessities to make your stay even easier).
The surrounding area is lovely. We enjoyed beautiful fall foliage, several rewarding hikes and a nice quick excursion to Great Barrington. The host was obviously easy to communicate with even though we had no need to do so.
A great experience!

Home was exactly as listed. Every so bc le one of us loved the stay. We had fires every night, sāmores, kitchen was absolutely perfect for cooking for a huge crowd. Enough space that no one was crammed. We will be staying againš The owner even made up the perfect goodies basket for an even better welcome. Thank you Annette!
10.0
This house was nicely appointed, impeccably clean and very thoughtfully stocked. The items in the refrigerator and pantry were there for us to use - much more than weāve ever had in a rental. A goodie basket greeted up and we wish we could have taken advantage of the fire pit to make the special treat left for us!
The two Queen bedrooms are identical and the beds were comfortable. Little things like the lamps by the bed, dental floss and q tips in the bathroom and a Keurig as well as a regular coffee pot and a hot water pot were all examples of little extras and attention to detail.
We were 5 adults staying here and attending an event through the day. This was a great place to return to to get warm and relax. We didnāt know each other well but could make bathroom sharing work between the two bathrooms.
This place is pretty perfect for 2 couples with kids - the loft has kid-sized beds and is a fun place for kids to hang out and enjoy the games provided while adults spend time downstairs or on the spacious deck.
Annette is very kind and responsive. You could not want for a better host. Two thumbs up for this special place!

The property was so clean and the perfect place for us. It is so quiet and peaceful on the deck you never want to leave. So many amenities and Annette was the perfect host with goodies and amazing communication. I highly recommended this place

This property is impeccable. The decor is comfortable and clean. Annette was quick to respond to any questions we had. From Otis we were able to explore the towns of Lee, Lenox, Stockbridge and Great Barrington. We loved having cocktails on the large deck and were able to enjoy the stars while sitting next to the outdoor fire. Thank you, Annette.

The house is modern, clean, well equipped and nicely decorated, even better than described. Our host Annette clearly has put a lot of love and effort into creating this home. Annette is a caring host who made sure we had everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including plenty of wood for the fire pit, gas for the grill, cleaning supplies, paper goods, and even chairs to bring to a concert at Tanglewoodš. The back deck has a lounging area with a couch perfect for enjoying AM coffee during sunrise. We did not go out on the lake but she provided a pass for the town beach. Otis is a quiet town but you can find supplies (groceries, hardware, gas) without having to drive far. We stayed for 3 weeks and had plenty of time to explore the area. Thereās a farmers market of Saturdays with nice vendors. All the larger towns are about 30 mins drive - Lenox, Lee, Stockbridge, Great Barrington) that have good restaurants, art fairs, music and shopping including large supermarkets. Thank you Annette for an wonderful and relaxing stay at your beautiful home!
4.0
We rented this house thinking we would have the ability to use the lake. The house is very nice, however other than a 10 foot area in between docks and boats, there is no access to swim and enjoy the lake. Before renting it we asked the owner if there was lake access and the response was that there is access within a 10 minute walk. Overall, you have no interest in using the lake this is a nice place.
5.0
Second time here. Just as beautiful, easy and comfortable as our first trip. House is so well designed. Modern with every convenience you need, but the stairs and loft are reminiscent of an old cabin style so you really feel like you are on vacation but without sacrificing any comfort measures!

Beautiful home
We stayed for a week and found the residence to be very clean and homely. Very much enjoyed our stay and the location is in proximity to multiple good towns to visit. The owner was was very accommodating and even the kitchen had basic supplies which was a nice surprise. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend to anyone looking to travel to this beautiful area

Weekend Getaway
My wife and year and a half son spent Easter weekend celebrating our birthdays. We've already stayed here on multiple occasions and each time is better than the last. Annette is so accommodating and such a pleasure to deal with. She had a crib set up and high chair which is so helpful not having to bring. We can't wait to go back again in November and years to come.

Family ski trip
The house is lovely and our family had a great stay. Only 25 min to Butternut, and we even made it out in a snow storm! Kids loved the loft. Thank you!

Perfect, especially for young children!
This house was great for our family! We just wanted to get away and be on the lake for a long weekend. We have an infant and this house is perfect for such a situation - they were able to provide a crib, highchair, and even left a custom welcome basket with a happy birthday message for our baby! They were extremely accommodating and it meant a lot to us. The house was very clean and and there are plenty of amenities. There aren't a ton of food options around but the Knox Trail Inn is super close (about a mile) and they do takeout and it's perfect for pizza, sandwiches, wings, etc. Most activities are a little bit of a drive away (30ish min) but not a huge issue in my mind. I would definitely recommend this property!

Family fun!
We had an absolute blast this weekend. The cottage is perfect for family travel. You immediately feel at home as soon as you walk in the door.
The bunk room is a great space not only for the kiddos to sleep, but gives them their own hang out area which allows the adults a bit of a reprieve.
The open concept downstairs was perfect for our family as we prepared our meals and enjoyed each otherās company.
The washer and dryer in the mud room was made clean up from snow play a breeze.
The pictures are amazing but itās even more impressive in person. We had such wonderful experience that I hesitated to leave such a glowing review because I know it will make it even more difficult to book in the future!!!
Thanks Annette for sharing your incredible cottage with us. Canāt wait to come back!

Great home with amazing sunsets!
We had an awesome long weekend at Annetteās lake home. While it was just two of us, the house could comfortably sleep 8 or even 10 people with a couch pullout.
So clean and modern/new with comfy beds and a stocked kitchen. We most enjoyed catching the sun rising over the lake from the living room windows and expansive deck.
Easy and pretty country drive to all the best towns that the area has to offer.
Thank you for a great stay!

This was our second time visiting and it was even better than the first. Annette is such a great host. She remembered that we had a baby and set up a crib for us and put out a high chair as well. The house was very clean and so relaxing. We can't wait to go back next year

Loved our stay here!
I just got back after spending three nights with my college friends in Berkshire, MA, and I could not wait to write my review. We absolutely loved our stay. This property was a such a surprise, it is much more beautiful than it looks in pics. It is very very clean, layout is amazing and every littliest detail is taken care of. The quality of kitchen stuff and bathroom supplies was top class. Perfect for group of friends or families. Beautiful lake few steps from the back patio. Nothing we found was cheap in quality. We were very impressed and highly recommend this place. Infact , I would rate it 10 stars if I could.

Beautiful modern home
This was my second stay at this property. I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Everything is so clean, itās very spacious with a lot of thought in the design.
The property is close to many attractions in the Berkshires. Very quiet location with views of the water in the fall. I will continue to come back.

Simply the best!
