The house is so special and we were thrilled the moment we walked in the door. The views are so beautiful, especially in the early mornings when the mist is rising from the lake. Terri and Jay have really put their heart into their home and I feel grateful they are sharing it with the rest of us. Might be helpful for folks to know that the half bath is upstairs next to the master bedroom (with absolutely stunning lake view) and room with three beds. Another bedroom on main floor with queen bed next to bathroom with fabulous shower. The multiple decks were a highlight. Who can resist a porch swing that you can nap on! Can't wait to come back! Thank you again. ##### Laurice A. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### louise b.

It is beautifully situated on a small lake overlooking the mountains. We kayaked through the mist every morning until it burned off. It was extremely hot and muggy, so we toured several wonderful museums in the afternoon and then returned and went for a swim. We definitely appreciated the air conditioning in the home! We dined in restaurants in town, only 5 minutes away, as well as in neighboring towns in Massachusetts and Vermont. (The Vermont border is just 7 minutes away.) We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. One evening we listened to a free concert from across the lake; another evening we watched a mesmerizing lightning storm from the screened porch. The owner was extremely responsive and gracious. Sheets and towels are not included, but you can rent them for a fee from the owner, which is what we chose to do. ##### louise b.

The bald eagles that fly back and forth across the lake are an added attraction! Terri is super responsive: we had trouble getting online our first night and texted Terri for help. She said "sit tight I'll be right over." (The internet btw does kick out occasionally; we were always able to get right back in. I think it's the service company's fault as the signal in the house is very strong.) There aren't many private houses on the lake but there's a large town recreation area on the other side of the lake, with camping behind that, so there is definitely some activity. No power boats though! We were new to the northern side of the Berkshires but liked it there a lot and plan to return. ##### Michael B. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wilma R.

It has a welcoming quality and is decorated with many oil paintings that reflect both the location of the home as well as other aspects of nature. The view of the lake from the upper deck is captivating and entrancing. I woud definitely recommend it. ##### Wilma R.
