About this property

Beautiful 8 Bedroom, Walk to Lake, Jetted Hot Tub, Fireplace, & Pool Table

Welcome.....we invite you to come enjoy the great space of our beautiful home with your family and friends in our unique 4000 sq. ft. custom built home with sleeping accommodations for up to 28. With 8 bedrooms, 2 full kitchens, 3 beautifully updated bathrooms and great outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining, we think it's the perfect gathering spot.
The house is nestled in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains and situated between 2 beautiful lakes that have incredible views. One lake (Onota) is just a short walk down the street where you can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking and more. Feel free to bring your Kayaks, jet skis or boat and store them at our fenced in yard. The second lake (Pontoosuc) is just a short 3 minute drive. This lake also boasts beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and aside from boat and jet ski rentals, this area also has amenities such as on the lake restaurants with a view and golfing. Plenty of wineries and brew houses within minutes of the house.
The season changes are amazing in the Berkshire Mountains. The fall shows off the beautiful mountains in spectacular colors and all the charming country farms are bustling with hay rides, apple picking and pumpkin fests. Winter provides an abundance of snow and our house is located just minutes from some of the best ski resorts and just a walk away from ice fishing on the lake. Spring jumps alive with the new and upcoming season of summer events. The summer season provides so many different things to do you won't know where to begin. The Berkshire summer weather is almost always perfect for enjoying the many outdoor activities the area has to offer.
We are family friendly and cater strictly to mature adults and families only. We are happy to open up our home to those who wish to gather in a homey atmosphere for reunions, holiday gatherings, work retreats and social events, whether family or friends wishing to enjoy special occasions together, such as wedding parties, work retreats and friend getaways. However, it is not a "party house" or a place to host young adult parties and we do not rent to high school groups wishing to host graduation gatherings.
COMING SUMMER 2025 A/C. For the comfort of our summer guests we will be installing a few window a/c's for a few months during the higher temperature summer months. This is usually between early July and up to mid/end of August.

Perfectly Located in the Berkshire Hills

Our stay was really quite wonderful. The host was very accommodating when it came to communicating with me. She promptly answered questions. The house is as stated. It sleeps many people and we all had our own bedroom. The main kitchen is well appointed and the smaller kitchen came in very handy. Seating for meals was plentiful with 4 tables. One day we had our cousins from Holyoke join us for the afternoon. We were 15 and everyone was very comfortable. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor. The yard was great! My granddaughters enjoyed playing soccer. And, the lake is nearby. It’s a quick trip into town for groceries and necessities. The stairs to the 2nd floor are very steep. And, there is a step in the 1st floor hallway, 2nd kitchen is on a platform, 3 steps up to the laundry and one bathroom and a cubby bedroom with steps. I never went upstairs because the stairs are steep. If there are elderly people in your party that can’t make it up stairs you’re limited to 2 bedrooms because of the steps in the cubby room. We grilled one night but the propane tank was empty. I would check that out on arrival. There is a store down the road so we were able to replenish. Margaret’s house is very large and it sleeps lots of people. I would highly recommend it as a rental home. We had a great family reunion and I would rent it again. That it allows pets is a plus. I would like to thank Margaret for sharing her house with us. She is a terrific host.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Grady

Host profile image
We have been married for ever! Have 4 children and 6 grandchildren. We grew up together and raised our children in Berkshire County. We have since moved to warm, sunny south Florida but still love to visit our friends and family that stayed behind. We are guests ourselves once a year in our Pittsfield house and it still feels like home every time!

Why they chose this property

This house has been in our family for generations with many updates along the years to bring it to it's current state of beauty. It has been customized by the owner himself and to our standard of living. We raised our children in the same neighborhood we grew up in and in the same house he grew up in. We love to share our home with others to enjoy big family gatherings and create memories just as we did with our family and extended family over many years.
