About this house rental

Escape to the enchanting retreat of Sunny Pond, a charming estate nestled on a private pond among the serene forest of the Berkshires.

The inside of this estate boasts multiple living areas, allowing plenty of room to spread out. The main living area welcomes you with a fireplace, and cozy ambiance, while the second living area features a casual atmosphere, making you feel right at home. These spaces invite you to kick back and spend quality time with your group. A third living area offers a more intimate setting, with a brick fireplace, rich brown interior decor, and plush leather seating.

The spacious, gourmet kitchen is fit for a chef. A wrap-around island counter provides plenty of prep space, while a second island within features barstool seating for a quick snack. Fully equipped with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including two dishwashers, two ovens, and two sinks, it's ready for you to cook up a feast for your entire group.

Head to the formal dining area, where a fireplace and chandelier set the scene for memorable gatherings. A second dining area, complimented by corner windows boasting views of the pond, offers a more casual setting for meals.

The rest of the estate has a haven for every member of your group. A grand office allows you to work remotely while living lavishly. Head downstairs where a world of fun and entertainment awaits. A movie room boasts a spacious sectional and a large flat-screen TV for the ultimate movie marathon. Adjacent is the playroom, fully stocked with toys, books, and games. From a dollhouse to a dart board, a keyboard to a rocking horse, the playroom promises endless fun for kids of all ages. Fitness enthusiasts will find enjoyment in the gym, fully equipped with a wide variety of machines and exercise equipment, including a Peloton.

For those seeking relaxation, the outdoors of Sunny Pond is the perfect escape. Retreat to one of the outdoor living spaces for your morning coffee or lounging with an afternoon book. Sprawling lawns and a playground offer plenty of room for activities. Go for a swim in the pond, head out on one of the provided pedal boats, or soak up the sun on the dock. You can even take a stroll out to the island in the middle of the pond, accessible by a bridge. It’s the perfect place for catch-and-release fishing! As the sun begins to set, gather around the fire pit to toast marshmallows and tell stories. Unwind from the day in one of seven comfortable bedrooms, each ensuring a restful night’s sleep.

With ample amenities and plenty of space, Sunny Pond has been carefully curated for the perfect group getaway. This dream estate brings the perfect blend of fun and relaxation, promising a truly unforgettable stay in the Berkshires.

The photos do not do this property justice! It is an amazing home, beautifully kept, huge property yet so cozy. The kitchen was impressive and fully stocked. We had a great time thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home!

My family's stay at Sunny Pond was such a wonderful experience. When we entered the house we were impressed by the beautiful furnishings, appointments and supreme cleanliness. The house is large and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. There was a severe rain and wind storm that knocked out the power in the town. The owner was on top of the situation and very easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to our next stay at this magnificent home.

We have done a lot of rental properties for many years in the US and abroad, we walked in and were totally blown away! Pictures of property were beautiful but did not reflect how absolutely amazing the house and grounds are. The spaces are even more generous in person than in the pictures (usually the opposite in home listings!). The house is spotless and so tastefully decorated and equipped. Best kitchen I think I have ever worked in, and we cook pretty enthusiastically. I walked in and said that this is the best rental house I have ever seen, and my wife said it may be the best house she has ever seen! Randi, you are simply amazing as well. Thanks for all (and the baked goods, chocolates, bottle of wine and all on arrival).

This was our second stay at Sunny Pond. Our family had a fabulous time. The house is magnificent! Outside there is a large pond with a paddle boat, an island with a fire pit (great for smores!), and lots of rafts, as well as a playground. Indoors, the kids loved the playroom downstairs and ping pong area upstairs. The dining area can accommodate a large group. There are numerous seating areas. The bedrooms are divided among two main areas of the house. It is a wonderful setting for a family to enjoy time in the Berkshires. Tanglewood is about 20 minutes away. The host is very responsive to any requests. We hope to return to Sunny Pond next summer.

Run don't walk to Sunny Pond!!! The photos of Sunny Pond online are perfect and accurate, however driving onto the property and seeing the pond and house for the first time is breathtaking. There is a peace and serenity surrounding you as well as the beauty of the property. There were 10 of us and there was plenty of room. The kitchen is a dream and very well equipped from utensils, cutting boards, knives, glassware, dinnerware, platters, bowls , etc. You name it and it's there for your use. The gym is so well equipped and the children's play area would be any child's dream. Let's not forget the pool table on the third floor!! Outdoor seating in both front and back of house is lovey and comfortable. The pond is beautiful as well as the island with a fire pit where we were able to toast marshmallows. We will be back!!!!

This house is a great house for a vacation. The owner and the house manager could not have been any nicer to deal with. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything a family needed for any age group. There was a swing set for our grandchildren, a play room and a game room for them. The adults had great rooms to relax, cook and the outside had a pond, and a breath taking environment to enjoy the outside. If your family is looking for a wonderful place to enjoy their vacation, this is the place for you.

Our three families (6 adults, 10 kids under 12) stayed at Sunny Pond for a week. The house is enormous and there was plenty of room for us to be together in the fully-stocked kitchen, and space for us to spread out for the kids to watch movies while the grownups watched the sunset with cocktails on the porch. The owner was very helpful and responsive to questions, and it felt like we were staying in a friend's home. We would love to come back next summer!
