I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful spot. The house had everything I needed and more.It was clean and well equipped. I particularly enjoyed the private dock where I could take my dog swimming just about every day. This is what a vacation getaway should be.....relaxing!It's a great location for hitting different areas in the Berkshires. It's a quiet neighborhood as well.
I almost don't want other people to know about this property. It is close to the water, spacious, and comfortable. There are 3 bedrooms, each with its own AC, so sleeping was no problem. I had a few questions, and the property owner was incredibly responsive. I can't say enough good things about this gem!
Lovely well equipped cottage on Richmond Pond
Lake Access with dock and quality watercraft .
Outstanding Living room/solarium.
Very quiet but close to shopping and entertainment.
We had a great time!The living room is very pretty in the afternoon. The bed pillows are comfortable and the heavy quilts were great because the temperature drops low at night. There are plenty of cooking utensils and pots and pans.But we couldn't get the coffee pot to work and we couldn't get movies on the TV without entering a pin, which we didn't have. The washer and dryer were full of clothes, so when we left we just put our used sheets and towels in the wicker basket. We bought soap for the bathroom (there was a small amount of body wash) and shampoo. There is information on local places to visit, some games and books.We would go back again. It's a fun place to stay, cozy and family friendly.

We appreciate your 5-star review! Our Mr. Coffee machine is working well and our extensive cable service provides many channels with movies, but if a guest has a problem with anything, we are available to help at all hours via the phone or email provided in the House Guide. We provide body wash and liquid hand soap but not bars of soap (due to health concerns) and shampoo. I apologize that the washer and dryer were not emptied (our house cleaner had an emergency)-- this was not up to our usual high standards and will not happen again!
Non-modern cottage with all supplies needed for a great vacation.

This renter has rented from us 4 years in a row for over a month each year and has also reserved for 2023. I think “non-modern” refers to our vintage furniture and antique folk art decorations; our appliances have all been replaced in the last 6-8 years (refrigerator, stove, dish washer, high energy washer/dryer) and our master bath/shower was remodeled recently. In 2023 our parking area and private road will be paved.
Clean, well equipped, spacious accommodations.
Beautiful clear, quiet lake, steps from the house. Best location in the Berkshires, near shopping, theatres, Tanglewood and other attractions. Owner responded immediately to our concerns. Fifth year in this cottage and reserved for next year.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent at this location. The dwelling was nicely furnished and well maintained and the pond invites recreation. If we vacation in this area again we would gladly return. The Bartlett Orchard Farm Store is a big plus and the road along the pond beach and boat launch is a great place to walk the dog.
This was a perfect getaway place for a long weekend! It is located close to the main road for getting around.
The dock at the lake was wonderful for some quiet time and a great view of the stars at night.
We enjoyed it very much. The house had everything we needed.
This was a great place for my parents to stay while visiting town. Close to everything, but peaceful and quiet. Downstairs bed and bathroom easily accessible for folks with mobility challenges. (Some people with mobility challenges might find it easier to be dropped in front of the house, rather than walking from the parking spot, even though it's close.)
The pond was so pretty, and just a short walk from the house. The porch was so pleasant; windows all around with peaks of the pond in view. Great location to Lenox where we enjoyed some excellent restaurants.
We may return when the weather is warmer and we can take advantage of the boats.
Quaint cabin like feel. Played board games, and enjoyed rowing and swimming in the pond (which really is a lake). Wonderful and relaxing base camp to hike-did section of AT and saw some peregrine falcons on cliffs near monument trail. Wonderful place to reconnect with family and nature. Great host directions.
the house was lovely and had everything we needed. the lake was spectacular with the fall folliage. Location was close to many attractions although many were closed for the season. highly recomment this rental. Thankyou
