Quiet and peaceful as advertised with plenty to do in the area even though the weather wasn’t great. Biggest disappointment was that the Sherwood Shoppe wasn’t open!!

Justin’s home is lovely situated on a pond. The trees were beautiful in their fall colors. We did have some issues with the tv. The satellite was broken. Justin got service in the second day of our visit but it was lucky we were home as we didn’t know when they were arriving. It did work out and the tv was back in order the second day. We had a restful few days at the home.

A very nice spot. Clean and tidy. Unfortunately we were here for 5 days and the direct TV was out and none of the 4 tvs are set up for streaming. We used our laptop per owners advice we only had one with us that would fit an hdmi so it was a pain, but the owner didnt seem to think it was important. That was disappointing. Otherwise a great stay, with less screen time, so a win!

Charming lake cabin

I love this place! It's been beautifully remodeled and is very comfortable. I would love to visit when it's warmer, but it's very cozy in the snow. I can't wait to come back with my kids.

Peaceful lakeside retreat

Cute property tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Had the feel of a remote, rural cabin but super close to town and amenities. Check out the neighborhood general store across the street for coffee and breakfast. The couple that own and run it were super helpful.

Perfect Little Cabin

Such a cozy cabin for a perfect weekend stay with friends. Located close to multiple ski spots around the area, coming back to the cabin after to relax with hot cocoa and a fire going on. Right down the street is a shop that sells delicious sandwiches too. Owners of the property were super nice and quick to respond with any questions we had. Hoping to come back soon and check this place out during the summer time to enjoy the lake life!

Can’t wait to go back!

We had a wonderful time spending our 1 year wedding anniversary here! It was so peaceful & relaxing. We enjoyed watching the ducks and geese in the lake & using the kayaks. The shop down the road is a 2 minute walk and so convenient. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Great lakehouse for a family stay!

We loved the layout and space in the house. Kayaks on the property made it so easy to take advantage of being right on the lake. Owner responded timely to all questions prior to check-in. A place to come back to.

Relaxing weekend at the lake

My husband and I had a very peaceful and relaxing long weekend at this lake house! It was very clean and has everything you need. We spent the majority of our time on the wonderful screened-in porch. The location was great and there was a little store/restaurant only a couple minutes walk up the street that was convenient and the food was really good! Overall, a great place to stay!

Relaxing Stay on the Lake

House was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and the view of the lake. Very quiet neighborhood. Good base camp for leaf peeping in the Berkshires. Owner was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!

A relaxing Easter weekend with family.

Thank you, Justin, for sharing your beautiful home with my family. We had a very nice time and relaxed in the beautiful quiet surroundings. I was so excited when I saw some Norwex items as I am a consultant and also use Norwex in my home. We hope to visit again in the warmer months as it was a perfect memory for our family. Thanks again, The Short family

Exactly what we all needed

This little cabin is so inviting, and the scenery is beautiful. It was the perfect getaway for our friends and family to relax and play games away from the real world for a while. Would have loved to kayak but March is very unpredictable. Thanks for the stay we’d definitely come back again!

Relaxing and wonderful

A short stay but just what we needed. Once we parked, the car didn’t start again til we were leaving. We enjoyed watching the geese, ducks and birds and the real treat was watching the otters swim back and forth. The house is super cute and comfortable. Short walk to Sherwood Shoppe where we ate most meals. The pizza and salad were great and the owners were friendly and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Justin Simmons

Host profile image
My wife and I purchased this home in July 2016 and have already had some of the best moments of our lives with our 2 children(14 year old daughter and 6 year old son)! If you like nature and want your children to grow up enjoying it, you will love a vacation here in any season.

Why they chose this property

It is a wonderful place in all seasons to relax, enjoy nature and do nothing. Or you can venture out in any direction to explore everything the Berkshires have to off.

What makes this property unique

The rustic look of this home and the quiet and peaceful secluded spot off the dirt road made my wife and I fall in love with this lake house. The lake is private and a no wake lake which makes it safe for the kids to explore by themselves. Get ready to create great memories!
