About this property

4Br/3bath Lakefront/Ski House in Berkshires. Fully fitted kitchen. Hi speed wifi

Lakefront property with own dock on Otis Reservoir with beautiful views and garden. Great for fall foliage. For ski season: 25 minutes to Butternut, 55 minutes to Jiminy Peak, 6 minutes to Otis Ridge, and steps from lake for cross country skiing or skating. 4 minutes to 'downtown East Otis' with Katie's Country store, Knox Trail Inn, and gas station with all essentials. 15 minutes to Tolland St Park, 12 minutes to Jacob's Pillow, 35-50 minutes from Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Co, Rockwell Museum, Outlets in Lee, and the rest of the Berkshire's attractions. Max of 4 cars winter, 6 cars if no snow. AWD/4WD recommended if snow/ice -- fairly steep dirt road to go up when leaving house.

House has full working kitchen with china for 10+, pots and pans, cooking utensils, two refrigerators, electric oven with 4 glasstop burners, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig, and dishwasher. Their is an outdoor 5 burner gas grill. Seating includes dinner table for 6, bar stools for 4, the screened-in porch is used during 3 seasons and seats 10. Also has a washer and dryer and a back-up power generator.

The basement has a full sized pool table, dart board, and separate ping pong table. The 42' HDTV hooked up to a Roku with FUBO TV. This includes all major networks, NESN, NBC Sports Boston, ESPN, most cable channels, ability to record shows to view later (and FF through ads). Roku also has Netflix and can support anything else you stream (HBO, Showtime, ...). New high speed wifi (400 MBps, unlimited) through optical fiber internet. Selection of "board" games for young and old. There is a full washer/dryer and a second fridge in the basement as well.

Warm weather rentals: The house comes with its own dock 75 feet from the back deck. There is a boat lift if you have a boat 18feet or less. Also available are a canoe and 2 kayaks that can be put into the water. Otis Reservoir is a highly desirable lake because it is drained down 25+ feet every winter thus killing all seaweed. The water is beautiful and clean for all swimming and boating activities -- no green algea or seaweed. The reservoir is 1/2 mile wide and 4+ miles long. House has a wet room for storing all tubes, paddles, life jackets. Also, it is on the eastern shore of the lake which means it gets the afternoon sun -- more likely to be swimmable on marginal days. Also, good fishing right off the dock (for smaller fish).

Outdoor motion detector light and camera added to provide safe, monitored access to the house.

Very nice waterfront
House was very clean . Nice open floor plan. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds with 2 on main floor. however there are not 4 private bedrooms. The upstairs sleeps 6 however you have to walk through a bedroom to get to the next one or the bathroom. Okay for a family but not for adults.The grill was not clean enough to use. However the sunset on the deck very nice and it was quite peaceful

Family weekend
Loved the location by the water and plenty room for our group of 6 adults + 2 kids. It was very easy to communicate with Marshal. My problem was with the kitchen, no room whatsoever for our own supplies in kitchen cabinets, also the freezer part of the refrigerator really need a good cleaning.

Great lake location and house layout.
We found this house to have a perfect layout, with an open layout on the main floor that overlooks the lake, a basement for the kids to hang out, and plenty of space for our two families for a weekend. Overall, the house was clean and well kept. The only insight I would add is that the house is not depersonalized and it feels like you are in someone else's living space for the weekend, with lots of family photos around, food in the cabinets and refrigerator/freezer, and many personal items around. Just mentioning that if you like to have more of a hotel feel. Other than that, getting in and out was very easy with the host. The location was decent for seeing the Berkshire sites (30-40 minutes to get to pretty much everything). Likely a great place to have fun on the lake during the summer, but too cold on our trip.

Great September stay
Our group of old friends loved the location, the wall of windows, the access to water activities, and the game / TV room. We were comfortable and appreciated the cooking and grilling equipment. It was a wonderful weekend, and our hosts were helpful and responsive. Many thanks!
