About this property

Waterfront Escape +dock +kayaks +firepit +fireplace +games

With all of the craziness in life, this is the place you go to wake up in the morning to sip your coffee and do everything or nothing. This is the best location on Robinson Pond with beautiful views and access to the private beach and deepest part of the lake. Clear your headspace and enjoy this year-round escape with four seasons of activities and a cozy home to remind you of the greater things in life.

The space
Walk right in to experience this view.

Your family goes to set up their rooms and then either head to the basement to watch TV and relax or head outside to enjoy the fresh air, water, and nature.

The amenities in this home are:

WiFi 100Mbps
Alexa
BBQ
Fireplace
Washer/Dryer
Dishwasher
Coffee Maker
Coffee Bean Grinder
Toaster
Microwave
Firepit
Dock for access into the lake
Filtered water from every faucet
Access to private beach
2 Kayaks.

Our home is on a very kid friendly lake with no motorized boats over 10mph, and many families that take advantage of the private beaches and floating docks.

Shops within a short driving distance allow you to eat out or shop to bring food back and cook inside or outside.

While we bring our young child (15-months) here, the home is NOT childproof or child friendly for young children without supervision. We highly encourage you to consider this before booking if you have young children. But

Guest access
The whole house is available for use, especially the serene outdoor space.

The garage and the closets in the basement are the only areas that are unavailable for us.

Other things to note
Social distancing is the key to successfully stopping the spread of COVID-19. We ask if you're planning on spending time in our home, isolate yourselves from the neighbors, but enjoy nature with them at a safe and recommended distance.

A Little Piece of Heaven

This was one of the most-special and memorable experiences my wife and I have ever had with a VRBO property and Owner. I had recently received a devastating medical diagnosis causing us to think about forfeiting our stay for 3 nights. After not checking in the 1st night, we decided to call Frank and let him know why we had not checked in but that we changed our minds and wanted to come for the last 2 nights as we needed the solitude and peace that his property on the lake might provide us. He called me himself and was most-gracious and understanding and offered us a full refund. When we declined his generous offer, he offered to have us stay a complimentary extra night or 2 as he wanted to help us and have us experience the special peace of the lovely home and the lake. It was everything we needed and we thank God for introducing us to Frank personally and for the blessing that he was to us as well as the respite we received by experiencing his Little Piece of Heaven. God Bless you Frank ❤️

Perfect quiet family getaway.

The house was perfect for our family of four. It was clean and well appointed with everything we needed. We enjoyed swimming and floating in the water, fishing and family movies in the big basement. The Fuseball table was an added bonus. I had plenty of choices when I sat to read, by the fireplace, two porches, indoor and out, or down by the water. Frank was very responsive and helpful. We would happily stay here again.

Great vacation on Robinson Pond

Robinson Pond

We had a great stay at your property. It was clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. The house was much larger than expected and we enjoyed the peacefulness sitting on the dock with our morning coffee. Thank you!

Robinson Pond Escape

What a lovely home! When we arrived we were in awe of the magnificent views from the dining area, to the lake below. The expansive deck also lent wonderful views all around. The home was very light and airy with all the windows, high ceilings, and skylights. This did not feel like a rental, it felt like a cherished home. The decor was very eclectic and modern, and the appliances and cookware were top notch. There was an Alexa or Nest wired in most rooms to play music, turn on lights, TV, etc, What also struck us was the privacy of the place, with a terrific waterfront access to the lake, as well as the neighborhood beach and float next door. The kayaks provided were a lot of fun, and Robinson Pond was the perfect size for exploring. We also loved the wildlife around the lake. We had a deer visit us one evening, and a giant blue heron could be seen skimming across the pond most mornings, or seen sitting on the float in the lake. The only less than perfect thing to say, was it was a little bit of a drive to the supermarkets and restaurants. We discovered that Great Barrington, about a thirty minute drive, was our favorite place to go for amazing dining. The only real disappointment we experienced, was that Bash Bish Falls was closed due to construction, but we did manage to go biking on the newly renovated Harlem Valley rail-trail, and we did go up the Catamount ski-lift for a view of the Taconic-Berkshire mountains. What a memorable week we had!

Labor Day Stay

Great place with lake access & sunset views. Swimming/diving dock wasn't there due to low lake levels, but beach club right next door had a nice place to swim. Kitchen could've used a baking sheet and some olive oil, but other than had everything we needed!

Hi there.

After traveling to many cities on the water, my wife and I decided to purchase a lake home for our family and friends to share.

After having our first child, we decided to open our home to you, so you can enjoy the love we have for this special place.

If we're traveling, we keep our home well kept so expect the same!
