Lake stay

Beautiful and peaceful lake. Right across the street from lake. My granddaughter loved playing in the water and fishing on the dock. Friendly neighborhood and beautiful area. Wish we had less rain but we still enjoyed our time at the lake house!

Great access to the lake

This cottage is located on a beautiful lake with easy access for the available kayaks, paddleboat, and rowboat. We enjoyed a beautiful fall afternoon kayaking and later using the neighbor's paddleboat, which they offered when they saw us carrying our cottage one down to the water! The kitchen was very well equipped, although the dining area could use more light. The bed was comfortable. We could have spent more time here!

Perfect long weekend stay

The property was fantastic overall, with a beautifully updated kitchen and well-maintained amenities. The linens were conveniently placed in the dryer and ready to be put on the beds. We enjoyed kayaking, BBQ on deck, and going to the Tanglewood. We did notice that some ceiling materials had fallen onto the counter, which was a minor inconvenience. Despite this small issue, everything else was perfect, and we had a great stay.

Nice Quiet Lake House

My family and I stayed here for some quiet family bonding time. The property was right near the lake. We enjoyed the peddle boat/paddle board. Played a lot of cards and games. Beautiful spot with shops close by if you forget anything, Peaceful and quiet. Would definitely come back for another visit.

Great vacation

We had really good time staying here. It's our second time. The lake is quiet and is nice for fishing and kayaking with provided gear. The house offers pleasant view and easy access to the lake. There are also plenty of things to do nearby, like biking (Ashuwillticook rail trail and others), hiking, enjoying art, theater and music. Michael is a great host.

It was not an overly inviting space. However it was comfortable enough. The railing on the staircase is loose. It needs a bit of TLC.

Wonderful lakeside home

We were a family of three adults and 2 grandchildren F(14) and M (11). The house was as described in the listing. Clean, spacious, with all amenities. The kitchen is large and well equipped. We enjoyed using the kayaks, row boat and paddle board. I highly recommend this property and host.

Quirky cottage

Overall the lodgings were adequate for our annual trip to Jacob’s Pillow. Thankfully the nights were cool for sleeping. The house is very clean but a bit musty with no ac or dehumidifier. We spent most of our time outside on the porch enjoying the lake view and fresh air.

Clean house close to lake.

We rented the house with one of our children, for a weekend last summer, when we were visiting a sleepaway camp in the area. The house was clean and came with a row boat which was great for fishing and exploring the lake. The owner was easy to deal with and the price was very reasonable. We plan on renting the house again this summer.

Musty with mold on the ceiling

There was mold on the ceiling around the pipes in the upstairs room, the beds weren't made because it was too musty to keep them out on the bed and it just felt dirty and musty in general. At least 3 of the people staying were bothered by the musty and mold smell overall and there was visible mold in the one bedroom. The house location is gorgeous. Unfortunately there had also been a tree that was being taken down and there was saw dust everywhere. I understand the tree needed to come down, but some attempts at cleaning up the porch and furniture would have been appreciated or noted. Other than these issues it erved it purposes.

Great Lakeside Cottage in Eastern Berkshires

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this Hinsdale lakeside cottage. While the neighborhood is densely populated, we really didn't see or hear the neighbors much, even though it was a holiday week. The lake is just beautiful. Looked liked the fishing was great. Our 5 year old granddaughter loved splashing around in the water just a few yards from the back door. There is also an association park and playground, perfect for kids. The home has many outdoor amenities and a great back porch where we ate quite often. Inside, there was adequate space, a well equipped kitchen (no dishwasher) and many games and local reference brochures. Michael, the owner, was very easy to work with and responded quickly for a question we had during our stay. You will have a great time if you stay at this little house. Highly recommend.

Disappointed

The host was available by phone to address questions. Once inside the house it was apparent that the place is tired and not sure linens were clean. Back of house had a black substance growing under bedroom windows. It was cold and electric heaters upstairs were not all working. Boats under porch were dirty and old. There was no refund so we left out three night stay including the cleaning fee.

Lovely home, lovely setting

This home is ideal for a family that wants to enjoy the outdoors. It is a lovely home with all the amenities. For those who want to visit the cultural things the Berkshires have to offer it is a bit of a distance.

Definitely Lived Up To Billing

Our family rented this property for three nights in August and were very happy with our stay. The bedrooms are a bit small but the living/family room and kitchen are spacious and comfortable. The owner was accommodating and quick to respond to all questions. We would definitely recommend this property.
