Wonderful cottage. We particularly loved the sunroom.The private dock with the row boat and the kayaks were great activities for us and the kids.We would definitely stay again
The host and home were both excellent. The house is centrally located in the Berks and was a short drive to all the major attractions including Pittsfield, Lenox and Tanglewood. Compared to other places I've stayed in, I thought that the kitchens and baths were both well stocked. The decor is charming and extremely clean! 5 stars would definitely stay again!
Cabin in the woods with all the exotic and romantic flavor included. Owner extremely helpful. This is the place if you want to be near all the major events of Berkshires ahd yet have a super get-away-lodge....with a super owner....this is the place!!!
We had a lovely 3 night stay with our little pup. We found the house to be spacious and clean. We appreciated the quiet little dead end road with a short path down to the water. Thank you, Carol!
A perfect place to retreat right off the water with a dock to enjoy the views. Quiet and peaceful. It was just my daughter, me, and our little Chihuahua that came to the area for a few days of prayer and interior peace at The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy. It was the perfect spot to come back to after a full day with God. Peaceful! The home is spacious and comfortable to fit a good sized family or friends. Full kitchen to use. Internet. All the needs one would want.Big windows in the sitting room that bring in the sun. Good hot water shower and sinks.Neighborhood cats, rabbits, and birds about. 8 min ,at most, drive to Mazzeos Italian restaurant, it was SO good. Plenty of shopping areas and stores and other restaurants to get your needs.This spot is affordable among many that aren't!A lovely place I would return.
Some things to note:The house is not on the lake, it's maybe a hundred yards from the lake, and there is another house between this house and the lake, preventing lake views. The private dock is cool but, on our visit, smells bad - like dead fish.If you are traveling with kids or pets you should note the house is kind of close to the road, and the yard is in front of the house, not the back. Inside, the cabin is kind of dark and dingy, furnishings and lighting feel old and worn. There's not great comfortable seating for a group. Great dining table but not lounging space.There are window a/c units in the bedrooms - upstairs ones are quite noisy.There was a cockroach in the outdoor shower shed. The host has strict requirements about cleaning the house and laundering linens (above a hamperful) before you leave, or else you'll be charged an additional fee. Some good things:The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and the knives are sharp - but BYO everything including S&P, oil, coffee, etc. Good internet. Plenty of sheets and towels and dishes and life vests. Rowboat was fun. All in all it feels expensive for what we got.

We have two spacious lots: one lakeside with our private dock, and one adjacent with hour home that has a large front yard, as seen in our photographs. Our listing reads “Private Dock on Lake.” Richmond Pond was treated with weed control during this stay, causing a temporary odor that is now totally gone. The Pond is one of the most pristine in the region. Our home is on a private road with very little traffic. The rooms are exactly as pictured in our photographs: light and sunny, as our other numerous reviewers have noted. The main living room has wall to wall sliding doors, a couch/futon, a comfortable armchair with ottoman stool for your feet, and 2 vintage rocking chairs, and several side tables. There is A/C in every room and if there is a problem with them, we fix it immediately. The shower in the outdoor shed may attract a spider but there are definitely no cockroaches in the 40 years we have lived there. We work with our guests about how much laundry they can leave; for example, just ask us about leaving dirty linens on the beds, and we will accommodate. Our rental rates are below market rates in our region. We aim to serve our guests!
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.
Non-modern cottage with all supplies needed for a great vacation.

This renter has rented from us 4 years in a row for over a month each year and has also reserved for 2023. I think “non-modern” refers to our vintage furniture and antique folk art decorations; our appliances have all been replaced in the last 6-8 years (refrigerator, stove, dish washer, high energy washer/dryer) and our master bath/shower was remodeled recently. In 2023 our parking area and private road will be paved.
Lovely well equipped cottage on Richmond Pond
Lake Access with dock and quality watercraft .
Outstanding Living room/solarium.
Very quiet but close to shopping and entertainment.
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.
