The host was great. The cabin is awesome, and it is a great setting with the sherwood shop up the street, and the lake and wood stove. Really quiet and relaxing. The only thing is the beds are, for the most part, not comfortable. Bring extra pillows.

Three of us stayed for a girls’s weekend in January. We had a wonderful time! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Lots of wood provided for the wood stove. Plenty of board games for enjoyment. Our only complaint is the downstairs futon mattress. It was so uncomfortable I slept on the couch. It needs to be replaced. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

Lake House Getaway with Access to Berkshire Highlights

This property provides direct access to a lovely lake for kayaking and swimming. It is also a terrific location for Berkshire musts such as Jacob's Pillow and Tanglewood. The owner is quickly responsive to questions and directions for check in were easy to follow. The house has strong WiFi for any work days you have while traveling. Highly recommend and look forward to staying there again in the future!

Lovely house with great access to the water. It was very clean. Location was peaceful and quiet, but not too far from grocery stores, etc. Not really ideal for anyone with small dogs (like me), because they don't want pets on the furniture and the fence has large gaps. Otherwise, it was wonderful.

Charming lake cabin

I love this place! It's been beautifully remodeled and is very comfortable. I would love to visit when it's warmer, but it's very cozy in the snow. I can't wait to come back with my kids.

Peaceful Spot

We had a wonderful week in the Berkshires. This house was located at a quiet end of the lake and was a great place to return home to in the evening. It looked like the owner had made several improvements to the house, with a few more still left to do. The communication was excellent during the entire stay.

A very nice and relaxing week...easy check in and communication with the owner was easy too. The screened in porch is beautiful w/views of the lake and sounds of the birds. The kitchen is efficient,well stocked, and updated with very nice pots and pans ( an important asset to me). I suggest the owner update the photos for the listing because overall it is much nicer than the current listing photos...New stove, new microwave, updated deck, railings, stairs and dock. yes, it was quiet and peaceful.

A very nice spot. Clean and tidy. Unfortunately we were here for 5 days and the direct TV was out and none of the 4 tvs are set up for streaming. We used our laptop per owners advice we only had one with us that would fit an hdmi so it was a pain, but the owner didnt seem to think it was important. That was disappointing. Otherwise a great stay, with less screen time, so a win!

Justin’s home is lovely situated on a pond. The trees were beautiful in their fall colors. We did have some issues with the tv. The satellite was broken. Justin got service in the second day of our visit but it was lucky we were home as we didn’t know when they were arriving. It did work out and the tv was back in order the second day. We had a restful few days at the home.

About the host

Hosted by Justin Simmons

Host profile image
My wife and I purchased this home in July 2016 and have already had some of the best moments of our lives with our 2 children(14 year old daughter and 6 year old son)! If you like nature and want your children to grow up enjoying it, you will love a vacation here in any season.

Why they chose this property

It is a wonderful place in all seasons to relax, enjoy nature and do nothing. Or you can venture out in any direction to explore everything the Berkshires have to off.

What makes this property unique

The rustic look of this home and the quiet and peaceful secluded spot off the dirt road made my wife and I fall in love with this lake house. The lake is private and a no wake lake which makes it safe for the kids to explore by themselves. Get ready to create great memories!
