Lovely and private lakeside cabin
While not completely isolated, this lakeside cabin was peaceful and serene. The array of birds around the cabin is impressive, and the few neighbors we encountered were very friendly. The knotty Pine interior has a lovely, rustic smell that makes the cabin feel cozy and homey. Whether your travel plans take you west to the Berkshires, or east to the Cape, the cabin is centrally located and a short distance from anywhere you plan to visit in Massachusetts.

Lovely slice of paradise
Visited this lovely location on our honeymoon. It was tranquil and relaxing after the chaos of a wedding was greatly appreciated. All the amenities of home with the quiet of camping on a lake. Spent hours just admiring the view and unplugging. Super friendly and welcoming host.

Comfy little lakeside cottage
This home is exactly what we needed, which was a place to relax and make no plans to do anything. I specifically wanted a quaint little place on a lake with a screened in porch to enjoy the outdoors without the outdoors enjoying me too much. This fit the bill perfectly. The area is beautiful, and although there's plenty of restaurants and amenities very nearby, the house feels remote (but not isolated). Some days the lake was busy with activity while others there was a quiet calm. I enjoyed both. I spent a good portion of my time on the screened porch enjoying the beautiful view, reading, practicing my guitar, and getting a lot of writing done. We took the canoe out a couple of mornings, and enjoyed some swimming. Evenings were spent listening to nature's serenade (which I loved!), playing games that we brought along, and watching movies. My only regret is that we were being so chill that we did't take advantage of the nearby trails. We so appreciate the opportunity to have stayed in this little gem, and would recommend it to anyone looking for something like this. It did not disappoint!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Stallard

Host profile image
North Pond has been in our family since my grandfather bought it back in the 1930s. Ever since it has been and still is a place where our families have to relax and be nourished. For the last 20 years, we have rented to others during the winter and part of the summer.
