About this property

Tranquil Lake House Getaway on Onota Lake

Beautiful lake front house on 1.7 wooded acres on a very quiet end of Onota Lake. A long driveway takes you to this lovely 5 bedroom home equipped with all modern conveniences and comfort. A large lawn rolls to the lake which is on two sides of the house. There are two docks and small beach. Canoe, kayak, fish, and swim right from our docks and beach during the day and spend your evenings at local theater or Tanglewood. If you are out enjoying all the Berkshires have to offer during the day, this is a tranquil property to come back to at the end of the day. You will come home to a glimmering lake perfect for a sunset paddle. The barbecue and fire pit await.

The house is in the middle of the Berkshires and just three miles from the city center yet feels more like a house in the woods. You will not be on top of your neighbors here. The property is wooded, offers privacy, quiet, and some space to stretch out. The darkness and quiet of the location offer you a fine night of sleep and starry skies.
With two canoes, 5 kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard - everyone can choose their own fun whether it’s paddling around the lake, fishing, or drifting along on a floaty in the quiet coves with a good book in hand. There is a playset, lawn games and fire pit when you want to stay ashore. Board games, cable TV, and DVD’s are inside.
The kitchen is well-stocked with all appliances and pots/pans, utensils, etc. Thanksgiving dinners are no problem in this kitchen. There is a fireplace in the living room. The dining room seats 10 comfortably and looks out on and across the lake. There are two bedrooms downstairs; one with two twin beds and the other with three bunks. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one with a king bed and two with queen beds. One of the queen bedrooms has an outdoor balcony and the king room has a sun porch with nice views of the lake. . Down by lake there is a screened in boat house with chairs to relax in.

The house was super clean, with a well stocked kitchen, great windows for viewing the lake, large living and dining spaces, enough games and books to entertain children on rainy days, kayaks and canoes and all sizes of life vests for exploring the lake and a very responsive owner.

Perfect Location, Perfect Home

My second stay here did not disappoint--we had enough space for me and 6 friends, the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and essentials. It's located close to town and the rail trail which is gorgeous this time of year. Lake was calm, clean, and beautiful. Will definitely be back.

Great summer vacation!!!

The house was comfortable, open and airy with lots of windows and the kitchen had everything we needed. Best of all, the lake was beautiful with a wonderful private swimming area. We loved canoeing on the lake as well. Christina couldn’t have been more helpful, if we had any questions or issues, she responded immediately. We would definitely stay here again.

Best place ever! Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to shopping, the private grounds are beautiful. There are so many things for guests to do, inside and outside. Everything is so clean. The house is spotless and has everything you need. The host was very accommodating and attentive to our questions. I would highly recommend this property

Beautiful and peaceful place. Lovely house. The communication with Christina was A+. The kitchen is well equipped. There is a grocery store "Big Y" very close. The beds were great.

Hidden Gem in the Berkshires

Christina's place was clean and very comfortable for our 3 families to enjoy a nice winter getaway. Our kids enjoyed the bunkbeds and all the games that came stocked in the house. Christina was very accommodating and communicative throughout our stay. We arrived during a snowstorm and lost power very briefly. It was not a problem since the house was stocked with flashlights and the driveway was plowed by 8am the following morning. We hope to return again!

A little piece of heaven

This is a wonder place for a group of all ages. There was plenty of room for outdoor games such as badminton and bocce. There was also canoes , kayaks and a paddle board. Inside the home, there was plenty of room to spread out for puzzles and board games. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped and nicely laid out. The owner is easy to access and extremely pleasant. My family all agreed this was an excellent choice for our family.

Everything My Family Wanted From Our Lake House Retreat

We searched for and experienced the perfect lake house retreat. A refreshing and pristine lake that our kids loved. An amenity full home with a view. Boats. Fishing. Fire pit. Friendly and accommodating hosts. The list goes on. Additionally, the Pittsfield area is historic and beautiful with plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy. Our family loved it and, what's better, our hosts loved providing it. We look forward to returning soon.

A "home away from home" on a beautiful lake....

My husband and I stayed here and had a wonderful time! The house was equipped with everything we could ever have needed, and had cozy bedrooms and a nice large kitchen and living room. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so we spent a lot of time outside. We barbecued and kayaked, exploring the beautiful lake. The backyard was very large, with lots of trees for privacy, and there were chairs down by the water to sit and relax and enjoy the views- I really enjoyed my morning coffee down there. This is a property that can be truly enjoyed, no matter what the weather, because of its peaceful atmosphere . We truly felt like we were home away from home. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy this paradise again!

Great vacation week!

Beautiful lake front house that was stocked with everything you would need. All the rooms were decorated very thoughtfully - it made you feel welcome. We had great weather starting on the Labor Day weekend. The window A/C & fans were definitely needed as the temps were in the high 80's & low 90'. It made the lake & small private beach area all the more inviting. The water was very clear & we had it all to ourselves. So easy to walk into the water - we swam, floated, kayaked & paddled boarded. We had our lunches at the patio table & dinners in the dining room, both with great views of the water. This was a great time for all of us. Thank you Christina.

Wonderful Location and House!

We stayed at Christina's property with grandparents, parents and kids. The property is large with plenty of access to the water. The kids loved being able to fish from two different docks and caught (and released) many fish. We kayaked out into the lake and enjoyed going around the "island" many times. The property is tucked away but still close to downtown and a good springing off point. We visited the Museum of the Berkshires on a rainy day, Great Barrington for a morning trip and Shire Brew Haus in the neighboring town but really, we didn't even feel the need to leave the property at all. The house is very well appointed - it is welcoming and cozy. We could imagine curling up around the fire place during the winter. Everyone had their own space and there was plenty of communal space. The kitchen had everything we could need. The house came with kayaks, canoes and life jackets. Anything we could think of the house included which was really helpful. The pictures do not do this property justice. It is a beautiful spot and we would definitely return.

Exceeded expectations!

The property is wonderful. First off there is a LARGE lawn, 2 canoes and at least 4 kayaks (and a paddle board) including one 2 person. The lake is really scenic and big and NOT swarming with motor boats like other lakes in the area. The water in clean and clear. Quiet neighbors and not too close to each other. There's also a dock on the property where some of us went fishing. There's a small sandy entrance to the lake right on the property which was wonderful for the little ones.House is very roomy, modern in appliances and the "look" and also very. comfortable, with lots of nice and thoughtful touches. Tons of DVDs, books, modern TV and very good streaming options. There is even a den with lots of kids' toys, books and another TV .Owner went above and beyond in many ways, including having first aid- bandages and topical meds. THere's a nice little playground on the lawn and a high quality grill also, that we used a fair bit. Every bedroom has a modern a/c unit. The beds are very comfortable and there's tons of towels etc. Good sized fridge. Big Y is just a few minutes away and a there's a nice variety of take in restaurants close by. The town itself is close by and on rainy days we found lots to do. Shaker village is very interesting to see and there's a multiplex small cinema that is very comfortable and shows the latest films for those rainy days. Owner was very accessible and always answered promptly. Also gave us other seasonal suggestions. Try it, you'll like it!
