About this property

Beautiful lake front house on 1.7 wooded acres on a very quiet end of Onota Lake. A long driveway takes you to this lovely 5 bedroom home equipped with all modern conveniences and comfort. A large lawn rolls to the lake which is on two sides of the house. There are two docks and small beach. Canoe, kayak, fish, and swim right from our docks and beach during the day and spend your evenings at local theater or Tanglewood. If you are out enjoying all the Berkshires have to offer during the day, this is a tranquil property to come back to at the end of the day. You will come home to a glimmering lake perfect for a sunset paddle. The barbecue and fire pit await.

The house is in the middle of the Berkshires and just three miles from the city center yet feels more like a house in the woods. You will not be on top of your neighbors here. The property is wooded, offers privacy, quiet, and some space to stretch out. The darkness and quiet of the location offer you a fine night of sleep and starry skies.
With two canoes, 5 kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard - everyone can choose their own fun whether it’s paddling around the lake, fishing, or drifting along on a floaty in the quiet coves with a good book in hand. There is a playset, lawn games and fire pit when you want to stay ashore. Board games, cable TV, and DVD’s are inside.
The kitchen is well-stocked with all appliances and pots/pans, utensils, etc. Thanksgiving dinners are no problem in this kitchen. There is a fireplace in the living room. The dining room seats 10 comfortably and looks out on and across the lake. There are two bedrooms downstairs; one with two twin beds and the other with three bunks. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one with a king bed and two with queen beds. One of the queen bedrooms has an outdoor balcony and the king room has a sun porch with nice views of the lake. . Down by lake there is a screened in boat house with chairs to relax in.

Perfect Location, Perfect Home

My second stay here did not disappoint--we had enough space for me and 6 friends, the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and essentials. It's located close to town and the rail trail which is gorgeous this time of year. Lake was calm, clean, and beautiful. Will definitely be back.

Great Family Lake Vacation

Comfortable lakeside property with beautiful views. Young and old enjoyed kayaking & canoeing in the lake. The kids loved fishing off the pier. They took turns setting up the fire in the fire pit. Our ages ranged from 7 to 66. There was plenty of room for all of us. This was the best stocked kitchen I have stayed at. Never ran out of paper goods. We all loved the hammock. We all enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.

Winter Family Retreat

The home was more than I expected. It was a beautiful setting, 10 minutes away from Bousquet Mountain. It was very welcoming with nice furnishings, comfortable beds and "decor right up my alley". We are definitely interested in going back again.

Girls’ Weekend

Best place ever! Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to shopping, the private grounds are beautiful. There are so many things for guests to do, inside and outside. Everything is so clean. The house is spotless and has everything you need. The host was very accommodating and attentive to our questions. I would highly recommend this property

Great summer vacation!!!

The house was comfortable, open and airy with lots of windows and the kitchen had everything we needed. Best of all, the lake was beautiful with a wonderful private swimming area. We loved canoeing on the lake as well. Christina couldn’t have been more helpful, if we had any questions or issues, she responded immediately. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home and great host

We really enjoyed our stay. Christina was kind and responsive throughout our stay. The house was great, with ample bedrooms/beds so everyone in our group could have privacy. The house was also great for the two little ones (one and two years old). Beautiful lake and we enjoyed hiking in the Pittsfield State forest and snowboarding at Bousquet Mountain right nearby! Thanks so much!

Beautiful and peaceful place. Lovely house. The communication with Christina was A+. The kitchen is well equipped. There is a grocery store "Big Y" very close. The beds were great. We wanted to spend time with family during the New Year, but we will definitely come back for a summer vacation. Happy 2024!!!

Fantastic Week!

We are a family of 6 adults & this was our 2nd stay at Christina's lake house. It was just as great as the 1st time. We love the house, very clean, comfortable, well stocked - Christina thought of everything you might need. We spent hours down by & in the lake. We were lucky that we had no rain & were able to swim, kayak & paddle board every day. Christina told us about the lake's bald eagle. While out on the water, we came upon the eagle high up in one of the trees. We were able to take pictures without disturbing it. That was a sight to see. On early Wednesday evening we could hear a band playing from our patio. It's called "Live at the Lake" & we enjoyed listening to the music. It was a great week for us & it went by quickly - we hated it to end. Thank you again Christina!

Hidden Gem in the Berkshires

Christina's place was clean and very comfortable for our 3 families to enjoy a nice winter getaway. Our kids enjoyed the bunkbeds and all the games that came stocked in the house. Christina was very accommodating and communicative throughout our stay. We arrived during a snowstorm and lost power very briefly. It was not a problem since the house was stocked with flashlights and the driveway was plowed by 8am the following morning. We hope to return again!

A little piece of heaven

This is a wonder place for a group of all ages. There was plenty of room for outdoor games such as badminton and bocce. There was also canoes , kayaks and a paddle board. Inside the home, there was plenty of room to spread out for puzzles and board games. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped and nicely laid out. The owner is easy to access and extremely pleasant. My family all agreed this was an excellent choice for our family.
