Beautiful, quiet, clean and scenic stay!

We absolutely loved this stay. The house is beautiful in a very quiet area. The owners are responsive and helpful. Priced very fairly. If I could suggest anything it would be to get firmer mattresses but other than that it was a perfect getaway.

The location was convenient to sightseeing in Lee, Stockbridge and Lennox and the setting was beautiful and peaceful. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. We really enjoyed walking around the lake.The only downside was that the couch wasnt very comfortable. As a suggestion, having a welcome book or packet with info about the house, how everything works(TV, etc...) and some recommendations of places to see, eat, shop, would be a nice addition

Post winter storm

We arrived at the end of a huge winter storm. The house was easily accessible and bright and welcoming. The views were incredible as snow-nadoes and blowing snow whipped across the frozen lake. We all had a wonderful time, four adults a child and two dogs.

Just what we needed

This spot was just what we needed to relax and take a breath for a couple nights. Combined with a quick twenty minute drive to restaurants, felt like perfection. Very grateful they allowed us to have our Aussie Doodle along too. He was also a big fan ;)

Lovely time in the Berkshires

Very clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable vibe. Came to relax and enjoy the fall colors. It looks bigger in the pictures, but was plenty big for the 4 of us. Having laundry was a plus, and enjoyed the ping pong table Loved the duvet covers…so soft. Upstairs bathroom could use a mirror in a better place, as blow drying hair and putting on makeup would be difficult, but just didn’t bother. Hope to go again next fall.

Perfect property!

The house is immaculate! One of the cleanest properties we've stayed in. The house was the perfect size for my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) with room for more. The beds are comfortable, and there were plenty of linens and towels. The linens and towels are high quality, very soft. The kids had fun fishing in the pond and made good use of the kayak (they caught some bass, pickerel and sun fish). The neighborhood is nice and quiet, dirt roads, no traffic...great for taking walks. We used the grill and the oven for dinners, and the kitchen had everything we needed and there was plenty of space for the food that we brought. The town of Lee is nearby (about 15 mins) and has some cute restaurants, plus a Big Y grocery store. The back deck is AMAZING! There's nice outdoor furniture for relaxing. We stayed in early spring and we were fortunate enough to have a a couple of nice afternoons warm enough to sit out there and enjoy the sun. The host was very responsive with communications and getting in and out of the house/keyless entry was a piece of cake. Highly recommend! We'd love to stay here again.
