There are many books, games, a fully equipped kitchen with a table and six chairs plus additional dining room table which seats up to 8. We provide clean linens, a rowboat, 2 kayaks, life preservers, and many water toys. The house sleeps 7 people in comfortable bedrooms. The master bedroom with queen bed and twin bed and full bath (with shower/tub) are on the main floor. The additional 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with toilet and sink are upstairs.

There is a large wooden deck with a table, umbrella, and chairs and Weber gas grill. No smoking. Good quality Spectrum Wireless Internet is provided, plus cable TV (flat screen).

Wonderful vacation

Clean, well equipped, spacious accommodations. Beautiful clear, quiet lake, steps from the house. Best location in the Berkshires, near shopping, theatres, Tanglewood and other attractions. Owner responded immediately to our concerns. Fifth year in this cottage and reserved for next year.

Squeezing the last out of summer

My family and I rented this cozy lake house over Labor Day weekend. This was our forth stay in this house and enjoyed every minute. We took the kayaks out, went swimming, lazed about on the deck, hung out on the porch reading books. It had everything we needed to relax and get ready for the new school year. We might try and make it an annual tradition!

Peaceful, close to town

This was a great place for my parents to stay while visiting town. Close to everything, but peaceful and quiet. Downstairs bed and bathroom easily accessible for folks with mobility challenges. (Some people with mobility challenges might find it easier to be dropped in front of the house, rather than walking from the parking spot, even though it's close.)

Berkshire Rental

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.

Happy Holiday!

This was a perfect getaway place for a long weekend! It is located close to the main road for getting around. The dock at the lake was wonderful for some quiet time and a great view of the stars at night. We enjoyed it very much. The house had everything we needed.

Fall long weekend

We were doing a Farm to Fork Fondo bike ride in the area so staying in Richmond was a perfect location. The house is a lake house but had all the updates one would want for a comfortable rental. Would have loved to take the kayaks out on the pond so will have to go back another time!

Super place

The pond was so pretty, and just a short walk from the house. The porch was so pleasant; windows all around with peaks of the pond in view. Great location to Lenox where we enjoyed some excellent restaurants. We may return when the weather is warmer and we can take advantage of the boats.

Trip to tanglewood with stay at Richmond Pond.

Quaint cabin like feel. Played board games, and enjoyed rowing and swimming in the pond (which really is a lake). Wonderful and relaxing base camp to hike-did section of AT and saw some peregrine falcons on cliffs near monument trail. Wonderful place to reconnect with family and nature. Great host directions.

Cute Cabin in the Berkshires

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The home is not actually on the lake, which was slightly disappointing because of the pictures, but the lake is a very short walk and is absolutely stunning. The cabin was in a great location, about 15 minutes from Lennox and Pittsfield, though make sure you don't use google maps and follow the owner's directions. The owner was very responsive when we had questions.

50 year reunion

Nice location...easy access to the lake. As soon as we arrived, neighbor confronted us about parking. The cleaning lady still there at 4pm and we were well within our space. Might recommend more comfortable living room furniture. My grandparents owned a cottage on the lake years ago. This was the first time in 50 years that we spent time there. It was great to see little change and most residents were very friendly. I would recommend this home to friends. We left Saturday morning by 7 am and had the sheets in the dryer. Also cleaned and organised the chair/lake equipment shed for easier accessibility.

Quiet and peaceful, this home offered my husband and me a time to reflect while sitting on the lake’s dock, a chance to be off the beaten track while driving country roads and a time for enjoyable browsing at the local bookstore. We’ve been here before and will do it again!

Peaceful and homey

The cottage was just as described. It’s not directly waterfront, but it’s a short path to a very pretty lake and you can see the lake from the house. The international folk art gives it a very warm, homey feel. Although it’s in a very quiet location, it’s close to everything.

Comfortable, quiet, homey getaway

This is an old and new home with convenience, charm and character. The sunroom is sunny and spacious, as is the deck, the porch is shady and cool, the dock is a two minute walk, the kitchen is convenient and well equipped, and you feel like you're in the woods. The big downstairs bedroom with adjoining bath is perfect for anyone who doesn't wish to use the steep stairs, the pond beautiful. There is great fishing all around, a lovely, private shower separate from the house and a rowboat and other fun water items. Great place to gather or have individual privacy, this home is perfect if you want to relax!
