Just got back from a fantastic week at Goose Pond. Kayaking first thing in the morning on calm water, there’s nothing like it especially when you’re the only one out there. The house is great and well equipped. The location is excellent because it’s just minutes from the highway but away from the hustle and bustle of life. On a rainy day it’s two minutes to the outlet mall. We tried Chez Nous restaurant for take out as well as Morgan House (twice). Both were very good. We hiked Tyringham Cobble with our lab on a very hot day. At least there was lots of shade. Since we had our dog with us, we stayed at the house more than we would have if we hadn’t brought him but he loved playing in the water and that made us happy. We have no complaints about this rental and are seriously considering coming back next summer. You won’t be disappointed!

Ideal location-- close to activities/amenities while in a quiet, rural setting that feels a million miles away. The lake is perfect for any water activities you could want. Clear, clean, warm water for swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, etc. We loved that this end of the lake is a no-wake zone and not very busy. The small, nearby boat launch was mostly used for kayaks, canoes and the occasional motor boat. Even on the busiest days, it really wasn't very busy and never interfered with our enjoyment of the property/lake. Very pleasant with paddle board, 2 kayaks, canoe, floats on site. The cottage itself is more attractive and spacious inside and out than the pictures portray. Overall, a nice balance of rustic simplicity complemented by modern updates. Lots of green natural barriers between neighbors, with a good balance of sun and shade throughout the property. Brought a portable badminton set we put up in the back yard, with plenty of room to spare. We enjoyed relaxing on the spacious deck and hanging out in lawn chairs closer to the lake. Inside, a well-equipped kitchen opens onto a great room, with a full bath and small bedroom also on the first floor. Upstairs is an open, airy suite with flexible sleeping (king or two twins) lots of closet/drawer space, large bath. Both floors have tons of windows for great natural light, views and cross breezes. Furniture is very comfortable, rooms well lit, bathrooms nice. Although no A/C, fans and window blinds help keep the house surprisingly comfortable in hot weather. We were very pleased with the space and quite comfortable. Wifi great, even had a signal down by the dock! No TV or streaming service, so bring books, games and downloads on your tablet. Cell service is spotty, use internet voice calling/messaging if your phone is set up for it, or the landline. We loved taking walks in the neighborhood. It's a half mile to the end of the private road and smells deliciously of pine forest. Neighbors are friendly and nice. Things we enjoyed: hiking Tyringham Cobble, Tanglewood , Jacob's Pillow, Great Barrington and Lenox downtown shops, Get Lit bookstore in Lenox, Lenox Patisserie in Great Barrington for macarons and pastries, Guido's gourmet market, Betty's Pizza in Lenox for excellent fresh topped pizza. The owner was super easy to work with and very responsive. If you have questions, just ask! Can't say enough about how wonderfully he treated us!

My husband and I spent 2 great weeks here, exploring the Berkshires and enjoying the lake. The house is small, but in a perfect location (if you don’t mind the nearby boat launch, which did not bother us at all). You can easily drive to Tanglewood, museums, hikes and restaurants. The upstairs master bedroom is very large (though the downstairs bedroom, with a full bed, is very small). We like to cook (there is a GREAT gourmet food store with awesome fruit and vegetables, Guido’s, in nearby Pittsfield and Great Barrington) and the kitchen is small but very well equipped (even had a coffee grinder)! The lake is great for swimming, as it is shallow for the first 10 yards or so, so it’s great for kids. Also nice for kayaking and paddle boarding, which come with the house (plus a canoe we did not get to). Nice deck looking out at the lake. Owner was very responsive when we had questions. The setting is as pretty as it is in the pictures.

Couldn't have had a more wonderful time in this cozy lakeside house. Beautiful sunrise in master bedroom every morning. Kayaks, canoe and life jackets available to enjoy Goose Pond. Local town of Lee was a delight with great restaurants and cafes. Even got my haircut at the local barber shop!

My family and I had such a wonderful stay. The cottage was so comfortable and clean. It had all we needed to enjoy our time there. It's so close to all that the Berkshires has to offer, but really feels like a special retreat on its own. We LOVED waking up each morning to the beautiful sparkling lake! We hope to be back next summer!

Goose Pond is peaceful. I was there on a summer weekend and enjoyed the cool nights, the warm afternoons, and swims in the clear water. The cottage is well-equipped. A great stay.

We stayed in the house for a week, and had a great time. House is not very big, but nice, clean and comfortable. There is a nice spacious master bedroom on the second floor, and a small room with a full bed on the first. A big porch overlooking the lake where we had breakfast and lunch every day if weather allowed. We did not expect to find such a great lake in the middle of Berkshires. The fishing was great, and while fishing we were watching great bald eagles flying very close to us. The water in the lake is very clean. The lake is very good for kayaking as well. There were 2 kayaks and canoe available in the basement. Something to be aware of - the cell phone coverage is spotty, but wifi at the house provides connection for internet and email access; the house is very close to public boat access so sometimes it gets rather noisy. We are from NYC so it did not bother us. We really liked the place and were thinking about going back in the future.
