Everything about this was easy and convenient, from communication with Joni to its sweet location just steps from a lake. My family of four were plenty comfortable with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would stay again!

We gathered with family and had a wonderful time at Joni's house. She's a great host, responsive and helpful. The house is very comfortable and truly had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. The lake is beautiful. We went swimming and kayaking, enjoyed the grill and fire pit, and hung out on the screened-in porch. It was everything we were hoping for, and we would love to return!

About the host

Hosted by Joni Berardino

Host profile image
We are Peter and Joni Berardino, from Austin, Tx. We bought our first lake cottage (next door) four years ago and love to come whenever we can. We have enjoyed great success renting to others and decided to purchase this four season home so we can come year round.
We have three adult children and three grandchildren. We are both still working (sort of) and enjoying our frequent getaways to the Berkshires.

Why they chose this property

This house is very special. The previous owners had it for 50 years! It was completely remodeled in 2001 by a local custom builder. The house has an open living/kitchen/dining area surrounded by four bedrooms and two baths. There is a lovely sun room with both glass windows and screens for the summer. Our yard has beautiful trees atop a forest floor type lawn. The general neighborhood is very small with unique cottages and homes. Most with gorgeous yards. The lake is clean and picturesque. The water is clear enough to see the fish swimming.

What makes this property unique

Very close lake access without the high price of being on the water. Due to the terrain and trees you can barely see the lake from the house. But you can be on the small private beach in two minutes. Just cross the street and walk down the hill.

Sit in the screened porch in the evening with your glass of wine or in the morning with your coffee. The birds are tweeting and you can watch the chipmunks scamper around the yard.
