great place to stay beautiful lake and landscape truly one of a kind great host will definitely be back

My family and I loved staying at the Ridge house. We were there 14 days over christmas. House was perfect for our family of 10. We had lots of room for everyone plus the friends and family who came to visit! The kids loved the bunkbeds! The kitchen was well stocked gor the many meals we prepared! The neighbors were very friendly also! Would definately stay here again! Also the owners were very accomadating when we needed an extra day to stay!

Lake life in late October is quieter, but lovely! We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend this home to families. Hoping to make this an annual event!

My family and I rented this house for the weekend and had a fun and relaxing time to close out the summer. The house was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with all the cooking equipment we needed. The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet....no regrets at all in deciding to stay here. The owners were very responsive, answered all of our questions and gave us plenty of great recommendations for food in the area. The amenities in the house were perfect for everyone in the family, during the day we relaxed on the deck and took the kayaks out into the lake. At night some chose to stay out near the fire pit on the deck, while others were inside watching TV and getting a kick out of using the Alexa device. Definitely would come back again next summer and considering it for a mid-winter get-a-way!

We recently returned from our stay at Ridge House, and I'm happy to say it was the perfect lakefront retreat to celebrate my parents' anniversary. They'd wanted a place the family could relax and have fun, create spectacular meals and enjoy each other's company, and this home and it's owners created an ideal setting for that. With a picturesque view one could gaze at until sunset, and plenty of fun lake activities to keep adventure seekers entertained, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and made lasting memories. The house was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. The kitchen has the tools you need and no lingering leftover items from previous guests, so while you have to stock the kitchen with each spice and condiment you'll need for meals, we felt it more hygenic than using a strangers leftovers. (We'd brought a selection from home anyway, so it didn't cost us much to get what we needed.) It's on a quiet street, and the beds are quite comfortable, so everyone slept well, which is so important when there are small children to chase after the next day. Additionally, the house is very centrally located, so excursions to popular attractions like Tanglewood entailed very little time in the car. The owners are exceptionally attentive and kind. When we had a misunderstanding early on with a neighbor, the owners were quick to offer solutions and the issue was immediately remedied. (Also, the neighbors are lovely, and took care of the problem before we ever mentioned it.) We would return tomorrow if we could get the time away, and I imagine it won't be long before we make our way back to Ridge House, if it's available. I would highly recommend it for families seeking a central Berkshire location, and a fun or relaxing lakefront vacation.

We had a fabulous family vacation at the Ridge House despite the weather. We had 9 adults and 3 children. The house accommodated us all. The house had all the amenities of home and then some. We loved the big tables, inside and on the deck, that we could all sit around to eat. The deck was a great plus. The kayaks and stand-up paddle boards were a great hit for everyone. The kids loved to jump off the dock. Our stay at the Ridge House was very memorable.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Ridge House! I took my family (husband & 19 month old), my mom and my sister's family (husband & 2 1/2 year old) with us on this trip. We had an amazing time! The house is very clean and updated. There was plenty of room for everyone (sleeping, sitting on the couch, eating inside and out) and we weren't on top of each other. The pictures are a true representation of what you will find in the house! Not like a hotel that hasn't updated images in years and you're disappointed when you arrive. When we arrived we were in awe of the view! I was even more excited when I saw a walk in option to the lake as well as the ladder off the dock. Our little guys were able to stand or sit on the steps before we took them into the lake. We were so surprised to find a welcome card and bottle of wine from the homeowners waiting for us! The fire pit was perfect for evenings after the kids went to bed and so easy to use. I wish we were still on vacation and was sad to leave. Thank you Raphael & Chelsea, your home is lovely and we are strongly considering staying again next summer!

Beautiful setting with lake Pontoosuc at the bottom of the backyard hill. Lots to do right there at the house, well stocked with games and kitchen supplies. Important when you have a 3 week old in addition to the rest of the family! For us the weather turned out perfect, making the vacation the best one in memory. “ this is the best house yet! “ according to to my two children and 4 grandchildren. My husband loved sitting by the lake and relaxing, I loved the kayaks and paddle boards. Something for everyone.

A warm, inviting, clean and modernized property with a beautiful view and direct water access. The owners were very responsive, helpful, generous and have provided for their guests extremely well. The property is accurately described and the cleanliness and modern amenities made us feel instantly relaxed when we arrived. An excellent property!
