This is my third time at Jim’s cottage and each visit has been extraordinary. He has literally thought of everything you might need to take full advantage of the beautiful Lakeside location. I plan to return as often as I can.

This was the worst vacation we ever took the college inside and out was infested with bugs and spiders. Inside they were bugs everywhere like we literally didn't sleep in the bedrooms because they were so many bugs and in the downstairs bedroom several very large spiders. When we got there the place was not clean there was moldy bread in the refrigerator you could tell ahead of me clean from last people the counters and the table weren't wiped down when we went outside you could literally see the cobwebs everywhere the spiders were so bad that we sat down on the upper deck and spiders jumped on us when we went down to the lower deck and tried to take the covers off for the furniture it was infested with spiders. We tried very hard to make the best of a horrible situation by us cleaning the spiders away but they just came back. The upstairs bedroom we went upstairs to go to bed the first night and there was literally we had one the lights on and they were bugs covered on that wall we ended up sleeping in the living room on the floor in the couch.

Cara, we are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay. Of the 65 reviews we have gotten on VRBO, 63 have rated their stay a 10 out of 10, and many commented on the cleanliness of the cottage. Your rating is our first truly negative review, but we thank you very much for your honest input and, again, we're sorry the stay did not meet your expectations.

amazing place

the cottage on the water was perfect for some quiet r&r. the host goes above and beyond - provided paper products, coffee and many other products that were not expected. loved kayaking the pristine pond - caught my first pickerel and some very hefty bass. Our stay could not have gone better. will definitely be returning

Great cottage on a pond

We really enjoyed the cottage and the surrounding areas. The cottage was decorated beautifully. The views of the pond were spectacular. We really enjoyed fishing from the dock. Caught and released speckled perch, pickerel, yellow perch and largemouth bass. The accommodations were great. The flowers and wine were a great touch.

Adorable cottage in beautiful setting

We loved the little cottage; it is so well furnished with everything you need. My teenager loved his tiny bedroom and I loved how there were enough hooks and storage places for all your things. The landscaping is very nice and there is enough privacy from neighbors. It was great to have access to boats with life jackets, etc. We hope to return! Because I didn’t recognize the front view of the house from the photos, I’m including one here. So cute.

Lovely home on a peaceful lake

We had a lovely time at Jim's home, which sits right on this lake and is also near lots of great hiking. Small smallmouth bass and pickerel are easily caught from Jim's dock and even more easily when fishing from Jim's canoe. There may be bigger fish in there, but I can only attest to the plentifulness of the 12-inch smallmouths and pickerel. Jim communicates quickly and clearly, and we would love to come back.

Perfect Birthday Getaway

My husband and I rented this charming house on a lake for 3 nights. When we opened the door we were so happy to see that the pictures on the website (which were great) did not begin to do it justice. The interior is cheerful, clean and very well appointed. Brightly colored fabrics on chairs and the couch and wonderful, warm touches throughout the house . But the view from the house and the 2 decks is what took our breath away. The lake is right there…it is peaceful and beautiful. We were able to relax and take in the calm of being on the water. And we were able to go kyaking and canoeing on the lake. Our friends who have a house in Otis came for a visit and had a wonderful time too. Thank you Jim and Mary for sharing your home and being so responsive to all our inquiries. We can’t wait to come back. Nancy and Larry

trip to Berkshires to visit friends, golf and relax

The Lake Cottage is wonderful, you literally see the lake from every part of the cottage and the outdoor living/relaxing space is great too, gardens with hummingbirds and hammock too. We did find the stairs from the parking spot to the cottage a bit steep and slippery when wet - there is a railing which is helpful. Great spot highly recommend
