Best time with Family and Friends

We visited this beautiful home for a weekend away with our teen children and a few friends for a ski weekend. We loved the pool table it was fun for adults and kids. The fire place was really nice in the winter for a fun family evening snuggled up by the fire playing games. The beds are super comfy and memory foam and bedding soft and comfortable. Only suggestion is to turn heat down before bed, it works well, too well. While its an old house it has been updated with new windows, double dishwashers, country sink, kitchen has everything you need and enjoy for modern living. Meredith gives you information on the house in her 37 page guide she sends out which can be a bit intimidating but turned out to be most helpful when understanding how to use the espresso machine, procedures for check out, or where to eat nearby. It offers a bit of everything. I would love to stay in the home during the summer as it has what looks like an amazing pool, near the lake and firepit with grill etc, all of which we did not get to use during our stay. Even though the snow wasnt great we were able to go shopping in nearby Great Barrington and have lunch at the Red Lion Inn. Very centrally located to all the things we wanted to do and see. We would definitely stay here again and give it the best rating. Thanks again.

Our Return to Shangri-La on Queechy Lake

We have been renting homes in the Berkshires for our three generation family vacation for the past 9 years. We discovered this home on Queechy Lake last summer and immediately knew we had found a gem. This home combines the charm of a structure dating from the 1800s with a beautiful renovation, modern and comfortable decorating and every up to date appliance and entertainment option one could want. The home and grounds are impeccably maintained, the bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed, comfortable and clean, and the indoor and outdoor kitchens make every meal prep an exciting adventure. The hosts are attentive and helpful with even the smallest concern. We were thrilled to return this year for our second summer and, although we couldn’t imagine that this perfect home could be any better, the addition of a pool was such a blast! The beauty of the pool matched their commitment to excellence reflected in all the features of this home. As an example of their superb attention to detail, they provide an easy to follow YouTube video explaining the pool’s heater. It is clear that the Singer-Crew family cherish their home and know how to have fun!! My family joins me in thanking them for providing us with the setting and amenities that truly guarantee a joyful family vacation. We are hoping to return in 2024!

Wonderful family vacations at Queechy Lake

We had perfect family vacations at Queechy Lake house. We stayed there for a week with our grandchildren, our children came only for the weekend and everybody was having a great time. The house is great, with everything people might hope for perfect vacations: big house, spacious and well equipped kitchen ( every single kitchen gadget for most sophisticated cooks in presence), with a huge number of entertainment options for children and adults (games and toys, Peloton and pool table, pinball machine). Private beach, kayaks, canoes, paddle boats on the lake and in-ground large swimming pool made our summer vacations perfect. The hosts are extremely responsive and helpful. We all, adults and children likewise, had a great time.
