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.

Cozy winter getaway

This was a cozy tucked away location that seemed far away from everything which was exactly what we wanted. The host was extremely communicative before and during the stay. The house had fresh linens and towels as well as basic cleaning supplies. It was cozy for a wintery weekend in. We enjoyed snowshoeing on the frozen lake! Pet-friendly was a huge plus!

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.

Amazing and Clean Stay-cation

We wanted a place to get away from the Winter blahs and the craziness of life. This was a clean, cozy property. Everything we needed to relax and chill. Loved the puzzles! And be sure to visit the country store 1 minute away for an amazing breakfast. Exceptionally clean and the loft bed was so comfortable. Would definitely book again.

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!

Great Location in The Forest

Very nice property! The interior was very clean and comfortable. However the exterior needs some attention, especially the steps and railings leading to the doorways. Also, there were screens torn down on the porch which allowed critter entry. Two things to consider for future guests : keyless entry and paper towels

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!

This property is surprisingly spacious. The bedrooms are all good sized. The kitchen is well appointed and the furniture is comfortable. But the view...the view is stunning. The owners are very responsive. We enjoyed a very peaceful vacation. I would highly recommend this property. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful stay

The house was perfect. The screened in porch was a perfect place to start the day with some breakfast, the lake in the backyard along with a paddle boat, canoes and kayaks was also awesome. The house is located right down the street from a cute shop with great breakfast and also located near some grating hiking spots. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing, outdoors getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Justin Simmons

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!
