Mid-century marvelous 2-bedroom bungalow with lake views in Southwick
We are new to this platform, but not to hosting! The Overlook is a little bungalow (735 SF) designed with a big hug from the Brady Bunch! Enjoy a fun, retro stay featuring beautiful views of the South Pond of Lake Congamond. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, cozy living area, comfortable bedrooms, and deck, all newly renovated. Less than half a mile from the public beach, marina, bike trail, restaurants, bars and other amenities. Near the Berkshires, Bradley Airport & Springfield MA, skiing and hiking, antiquing and so much more.
The Overlook is far out groovy place in a happening kind of way! Take a trip to the lake AND to yesteryear…circa 19672. All of the rooms in the Overlook are inspired by this era—enjoy the Brady-inspired kitchen and living area (and be sure to spin some records on our vintage record console). Enjoy the Hollywood regency style bathroom. Stay in either the 2 twin XL Siesta room, or the queen Lotus room, both with the most tasteful of mid century decor. We kept the vintage style going on the deck, but you won’t be able to take your eyes off the restful, leafy lake view.
The Overlook was just gut renovated, so the decor may be vintage, but it’s fully up to date, and designed with your comfort in mind!

We had a fabulous stay at The Overlook! We just loved the house so much. We really appreciated the heated floor in the bathroom as well as the cool toilet. We also liked the fun coffee maker and all the coffee creamers. Also, the decor was incredible. We especially appreciated the most beautiful lamp in the world!
The host was kind and responsive. The home oozes with charm with mid-century vibes and modern luxury amenities like a heated bathroom floor. The view of the lake was lovely. The landscaping is still under progress, and the stepping stones can get slippery. Take caution when walking up to the home when raining or icy. We highly recommend this lovely home.

Thank you so much for your response! We enjoyed having you.
We are awaiting our contractor and favorable weather for improvements to the exterior and look forward to the outside being as nice as the inside!
Cute and cozy bungalow on the Congamond lake! Absolutely loved how the interior was decorated. The home is updated to include heated bathroom floors and a smart toilet which we found intriguing. The view of the lake from porch was magnificent. The view must be gorgeous in the warmer months. I gave 4 stars as the property was a little difficult to traverse in the snow/ice, however, the owner addressed and remedied that situation and we understand they have plans to modify the property in order to make accessing it more convenient. Other than that, awesome place to stay.

We're the Wakelins! Creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky. But just like the Addams Family, we're a lot of fun. We're old house aficionados, and the Overlook on South Pond is our latest adventure.
We're so excited to make our bungalow a fun and interesting destination. Just wait and see what we have in store!
