We had a great time!The living room is very pretty in the afternoon. The bed pillows are comfortable and the heavy quilts were great because the temperature drops low at night. There are plenty of cooking utensils and pots and pans.But we couldn't get the coffee pot to work and we couldn't get movies on the TV without entering a pin, which we didn't have. The washer and dryer were full of clothes, so when we left we just put our used sheets and towels in the wicker basket. We bought soap for the bathroom (there was a small amount of body wash) and shampoo. There is information on local places to visit, some games and books.We would go back again. It's a fun place to stay, cozy and family friendly.

Absolutely as advertised!

I almost don't want other people to know about this property. It is close to the water, spacious, and comfortable. There are 3 bedrooms, each with its own AC, so sleeping was no problem. I had a few questions, and the property owner was incredibly responsive. I can't say enough good things about this gem!

Peaceful, close to town

This was a great place for my parents to stay while visiting town. Close to everything, but peaceful and quiet. Downstairs bed and bathroom easily accessible for folks with mobility challenges. (Some people with mobility challenges might find it easier to be dropped in front of the house, rather than walking from the parking spot, even though it's close.)

Happy Holiday!

This was a perfect getaway place for a long weekend! It is located close to the main road for getting around. The dock at the lake was wonderful for some quiet time and a great view of the stars at night. We enjoyed it very much. The house had everything we needed.

Fall long weekend

We were doing a Farm to Fork Fondo bike ride in the area so staying in Richmond was a perfect location. The house is a lake house but had all the updates one would want for a comfortable rental. Would have loved to take the kayaks out on the pond so will have to go back another time!

Great access to Tanglewood with a path to the lake.

We thought we had the view depicted in the listing. The house was nestled to the side. It was charming in unusual ways. The kitchen was fine. Folks prior to us did not clean the grill as we were all instructed to. Needs a few new pillows.

Disappointing

We rented House on the Pond starting July 15 thru August 15 2015.In a word the house was truly disappointing and was not as advertised.Pictures on the web site lead you to believe that the house is on the pond which is not accurate. The pond is down a path outside the house and about 100 yards away .In no part of the house, can one see the pond. Access to the house is difficult especially when it rains which is often in the Berkshires.The house has no driveway so you have to park across the street and either walk across the lawn or down a sreep sloped gravel path. When one has luggage or heavy grocery bags this is a problem.We expected two full bathrooms---there is one full bath and another half bath upstairs.This is a long time family home which is very evident when you see the collections of family pictures and trinkets. The house has been a repository for not only numerous personal family items but also many vacations trinkets-statues-bowls etc .In the downstairs area there would be as many as thirty to forty such items. Posters are stapled to the walls. Each of the medicine cabinets has old and dried out items which should have been tossed out or stored.Parts of the house are dark and dingy. The master bedroom has a twin bed a single bed,a roll away bed , a bookshelf,a desk a dresser two small night stands a standing lamp, a reading chair a desk and a very large stacked washer dryer --which is over six feet in height!.all the furniture in the house is very worn--a large lamp in the living room has a hole and the picnic table and benches on the front porch has warped wood and is unsafe.Numerous mouse traps can be found in the house. One closet had as many as four traps.We felt like we were living at Goodwill or a second hand store.The house was not clean when we moved in and the dishes and silverware were dirty., we spent a day cleaning before we left and were charged a fee by the owner.We rent in the Berkshires every summer and would NOT stay at this house ever again.

Relaxing

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful spot. The house had everything I needed and more.It was clean and well equipped. I particularly enjoyed the private dock where I could take my dog swimming just about every day. This is what a vacation getaway should be.....relaxing!It's a great location for hitting different areas in the Berkshires. It's a quiet neighborhood as well.

Warm, Beautiful Cabin with Thoughtful Touches

From the moment we walked into this eclectic cabin, bathed in a warm, gentle light, we felt right at home. Everything we could possibly need was already there, and the space just invited us to relax and settle in.The first few days were cold and rainy, but the cabin kept us warm and cozy. We spent our time putting together a puzzle, playing Cribbage, and venturing out for misty hikes. When the sun finally came out for the last two days, my husband took the boat out to fish. Next time, we’ll be sure to take advantage of the kayaks, too!We truly appreciated the beautiful, personal touches throughout the home. The decor, lovingly put together by the owners, made the space feel not just like a house, but a home. Thank you for sharing it with us — we’re already looking forward to coming back.

Squeezing the last out of summer

My family and I rented this cozy lake house over Labor Day weekend. This was our forth stay in this house and enjoyed every minute. We took the kayaks out, went swimming, lazed about on the deck, hung out on the porch reading books. It had everything we needed to relax and get ready for the new school year. We might try and make it an annual tradition!

50 year reunion

Nice location...easy access to the lake. As soon as we arrived, neighbor confronted us about parking. The cleaning lady still there at 4pm and we were well within our space. Might recommend more comfortable living room furniture. My grandparents owned a cottage on the lake years ago. This was the first time in 50 years that we spent time there. It was great to see little change and most residents were very friendly. I would recommend this home to friends. We left Saturday morning by 7 am and had the sheets in the dryer. Also cleaned and organised the chair/lake equipment shed for easier accessibility.

Cute Cabin in the Berkshires

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The home is not actually on the lake, which was slightly disappointing because of the pictures, but the lake is a very short walk and is absolutely stunning. The cabin was in a great location, about 15 minutes from Lennox and Pittsfield, though make sure you don't use google maps and follow the owner's directions. The owner was very responsive when we had questions.

Berkshire Rental

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent at this location. The dwelling was nicely furnished and well maintained and the pond invites recreation. If we vacation in this area again we would gladly return. The Bartlett Orchard Farm Store is a big plus and the road along the pond beach and boat launch is a great place to walk the dog.
