The cabin was decorated for the holidays, including personalized Christmas stockings for my three children filled with gifts. My kids are already asking when they can go back! The cabin is set back off the road leaving it very quiet, peaceful and secluded. John was very accommodating and the cabin is equipped with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay! ##### jacalyn c. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara M. Sep 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Berkshires We enjoyed our stay and found the home to be very welcoming with lots of amenities. The home was clean and the kitchen was well stocked to meet our cooking needs. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on the cold and rainy days. We would have used more of the outside amenities if the weather was better. We would definitely go back there. ##### Barbara M. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paul w. Jul 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home away from home We love coming to America House each summer to unplug and reconnect with nature. Watching humming birds and chipmunks going busily about their day out the massive windows as we lazily sip our morning coffee in the front room and then wandering down to lake to sit some more in the big Adirondack chairs and watch the dragon flies or take the canoe out to visit the great blue heron…these are some of the joys of this very special place John is the perfect host—always attentive without ever becoming obtrusive. He thinks of everything! ##### paul w.
