Beautiful 8 Bedroom, Walk to Lake, Jetted Hot Tub, Fireplace, & Pool Table
Welcome.....we invite you to come enjoy the great space of our beautiful home with your family and friends in our unique 4000 sq. ft. custom built home with sleeping accommodations for up to 28. With 8 bedrooms, 2 full kitchens, 3 beautifully updated bathrooms and great outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining, we think it's the perfect gathering spot. The house is nestled in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains and situated between 2 beautiful lakes that have incredible views. One lake (Onota) is just a short walk down the street where you can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking and more. Feel free to bring your Kayaks, jet skis or boat and store them at our fenced in yard. The second lake (Pontoosuc) is just a short 3 minute drive. This lake also boasts beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and aside from boat and jet ski rentals, this area also has amenities such as on the lake restaurants with a view and golfing. Plenty of wineries and brew houses within minutes of the house. The season changes are amazing in the Berkshire Mountains. The fall shows off the beautiful mountains in spectacular colors and all the charming country farms are bustling with hay rides, apple picking and pumpkin fests. Winter provides an abundance of snow and our house is located just minutes from some of the best ski resorts and just a walk away from ice fishing on the lake. Spring jumps alive with the new and upcoming season of summer events. The summer season provides so many different things to do you won't know where to begin. The Berkshire summer weather is almost always perfect for enjoying the many outdoor activities the area has to offer. We are family friendly and cater strictly to mature adults and families only. We are happy to open up our home to those who wish to gather in a homey atmosphere for reunions, holiday gatherings, work retreats and social events, whether family or friends wishing to enjoy special occasions together, such as wedding parties, work retreats and friend getaways. However, it is not a "party house" or a place to host young adult parties and we do not rent to high school groups wishing to host graduation gatherings. COMING SUMMER 2025 A/C. For the comfort of our summer guests we will be installing a few window a/c's for a few months during the higher temperature summer months. This is usually between early July and up to mid/end of August.

Perfectly Located in the Berkshire Hills
Our stay was really quite wonderful. The host was very accommodating when it came to communicating with me. She promptly answered questions. The house is as stated. It sleeps many people and we all had our own bedroom. The main kitchen is well appointed and the smaller kitchen came in very handy. Seating for meals was plentiful with 4 tables. One day we had our cousins from Holyoke join us for the afternoon. We were 15 and everyone was very comfortable. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor. The yard was great! My granddaughters enjoyed playing soccer. And, the lake is nearby. It’s a quick trip into town for groceries and necessities. The stairs to the 2nd floor are very steep. And, there is a step in the 1st floor hallway, 2nd kitchen is on a platform, 3 steps up to the laundry and one bathroom and a cubby bedroom with steps. I never went upstairs because the stairs are steep. If there are elderly people in your party that can’t make it up stairs you’re limited to 2 bedrooms because of the steps in the cubby room. We grilled one night but the propane tank was empty. I would check that out on arrival. There is a store down the road so we were able to replenish. Margaret’s house is very large and it sleeps lots of people. I would highly recommend it as a rental home. We had a great family reunion and I would rent it again. That it allows pets is a plus. I would like to thank Margaret for sharing her house with us. She is a terrific host.

Base for short term mission trip
We had a team of 13 on a short term mission trip in Mass. This house was perfect for our needs. We were about 30 minutes from the place that we were working but the area had plenty of restaurants, grocery store, etc. to meet our needs. The large house gave us plenty of room to accomodate a very diverse group including teenagers, adults and senior adults. The 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 washer/dryers, dining room and large family room were perfect for making this trip work for us. I am not sure we could have stayed anywhere more perfect than this house for our needs. The owner was wonderful in communication and accuracy of the listing. I would want to rent this house again if we go back to that area.

Excellent Thanksgiving Family Reunion
This was the second time we have spent our 4-day Thanksgiving weekend at Margret’s house, having stayed there in 2021. (Another family reserved before us in 2022.) Of primary concern to us were the kitchens (yes, that’s plural), which were very well stocked with all the cooking equipment you could need. Having two stoves and two refrigerators was VERY helpful. The large main room we used for eating and gathering. A big hit was the pool table, and we also used the fire pit in the backyard. Last year we stayed at a place in Norwich CT that was twice the price and half as nice. Strongly recommend Margaret’s place.

50Anniversary Family Retreat
While we booked the house for a week, we only had guests Tuesday night to Monday morning. The hose was the best presented vacation house we have ever had: immaculately clean and unbelievably well equipped. We wanted for nothing. We were especially pleased to have a second kitchen in the great room… perfect for serving our party guests. We had multiple contacts with the owner both beforehand and during our booking. We found the great room was chilly, and especially so after most of the people left. They immediately had someone come check on the heat system which completely solved the issue.
Really, the only suggestion we would offer would be to extend the parking area to hold more than 6 cars and secondly, to stock the second kitchen with glassware since it serves as the bar area. We did that to accommodate our party and it worked well.
Thank you to the hosts for sharing their lively home with us. It made a special party into just a perfect weekend.

Wonderful property for gathering
This is a beautiful well appointed home. It has everything you need. We had 17 people staying at the house and there was plenty of room for everyone. Between the two kitchens we had everything we needed. Plenty of glasses, plates, cooking and eating utensils, towels, etc. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus. The yard was quite large and the fire ring had plenty of seating. The outdoor patio was mostly covered which was a blessing since it rained most of the time we were here, but we could still enjoy the outside. The very large family area was even better. Plenty of seating for everyone and we could all be in the same place. The beds were comfortable and the pictures accurately reflected the rooms. We had an adult sleeping in the “Captain’s room” and he thought it was great!
