About this property
Serene, Private Waterfront House --Perfect Summer Retreat!
Enjoy everything the Berkshires has to offer from this beautiful, secluded, nicely renovated waterfront house set on two acres of forested land. Perfect for families or couples.
Swim, fish, or boat from the backyard. (Canoe, Kayak and lifejackets provided.) Explore the stream that runs through the property. Picnic down by the water, or lounge on the deck. Make a fire in the fire pit and eat s'mores. Or just sit down by the crystal clear lake and listen to the sounds of nature while feeling the warm sun on your face.
Very private--just one near neighbor. And if you want more activity, head to cultural activities such as Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Shakespeare & Company; Mass MOCA, the Berkshire Museum, and Norman Rockwell Museum; historic homes such as those of Edith Wharton and Herman Melville; outdoor activities such as kayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, bicycling and hiking; and antiques and outlet shopping. 2 bedrooms, study with comfortable sleeper couch, 2 full baths, full kitchen!
Owner History: This property is owned by experienced vacation rental owners with other rental properties on VRBO on Martha's Vineyard (#105302), with consistent five star reviews. Reserve with confidence. The property has been owned by the same owners since 2010.

About the host
Hosted by Larry Hardoon
I own and manage this house with my wife. We have had long careers in law and criminal justice. We are also parents of grown children. I have owned and managed vacation property since 1990, including the most frequently reviewed property on the entire island Martha's Vineyard (#105302). I travel a lot and strive to have my rentals be the kind of place I would want to stay in myself.
Why they chose this property
The Berkshires is a cultural and recreational mecca. There is so much to see and do here in the Summer. This property while so close to many attractions, makes you feel that like you are hundreds of miles away from civilization (There are 4 other houses on the lake, but we rarely see anyone else). In the Fall there is incredible foliage everywhere. In Winter it is a place for quiet and reflection. Living in Boston, these were very attractive attributes for a getaway spot. The lake, stream and large back yard make this a place for us relax, reflect, and recharge. The kids love the lake and wildlife which they do not get to enjoy in the city. The property was well built by its owner at the time. We added a second floor with more rooms and a full bath when we purchased it.
What makes this property unique
We think this is a unique property. Sitting on the dock and looking out over the private lake is a calming sensation. Sitting on the porch, even in the rain under the porch ceiling, and looking at the lake and surrounding forest, is a great experience. The house has a wood stove for the winter. It is close to many of the area's Summer attractions (only 5 minutes from the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival) yet almost feels like it is the middle of nowhere.
