PRIVATE PENINSULA 2ac surrounded by water min from hiking skiing theater music

I JUST purchased my dream house! I have been searching for a lake house in the Berkshires for years & when this came on the market I just had to say YES! It is a cozy newly renovated home situated on a 2 acre private peninsula surrounded on 3 sides by Mill Pond. Come swim, kayak, canoe, fish on the pond & hang out on the dock and the deck! 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths- can sleep up to 9. Enjoy music, theater, dance, hiking, museums, skiing, dining, relaxing in the Berkshires!
Deck, fire pit, 3 kayaks, 1 canoe, 2 bikes, 2 yoga mats. family and pet friendly. Fenced in wooded yard.

We loved the location of this house. It was very close to the wedding we were attending that weekend and to Great Barrington. The house was also uniquely situated- so that it was surrounded by water on 3 sides. The setting was lovely and we were able to use the kayaks Lisa made available with the property. Lisa was a great host - always available and immediately responsive to our questions. I would be happy to rent this house again when I am in the Berkshires.

Magical beauty in the Berkshires
Our stay here was in late October. The foliage was so vibrant-gold, bronze and red. The property is fully enclosed/secured by a handsome gate, with chain link fencing extending from the gate through the yard and into the pond. The home and yard is tastefully decorated with fun and unique artwork. Our two adult daughters and their three dogs joined us for a few days. Plenty of room to spread out or gather together for a game, puzzle, or watch TV. The two huge flat screen TVs were great. The glass pocket door between the two rooms allows for privacy or watching the second TV. The dogs loved the large windows, and walks on the property and longer walks down the road. We saw the resident bald eagle most days. Its favorite spot to survey the area for food was in a tree just outside the windows. We also saw a blue heron gliding gracefully over the pond, looking for fish. Lisa, the property owner, was super to work with. Always readily available to assist with anything. She ensured the two bathrooms were well stocked-plenty of towels and soaps. Fully stocked kitchen with pantry basics, coffee pot, k-cup brewer, toaster, blender and microwave. A glass cooktop and full size oven were handy to have, and there was plenty of cookware. We loved the well-lit bar area - it made the area more spacious. Washer & dryer were great to have. Groceries, restaurants and shops located nearby too. We loved our vacation and hope to stay at this beautiful spot again!

Perfect Setting for a Boys' Weekend
I rented this house for the purpose of a weekend with the guys in my band. The owner was really accommodating about it and even made suggestions about how and where to move the furniture while we were playing music. The house is reasonably priced and in a beautiful location. Lisa, the owner, is very friendly and easy to work with and we had a great time!

Nice lake house on Mill Pond
Photos are accurate. It's a two bedroom, two bathroom house. It was only the three of us so we had plenty of room. The highlight of this house is being able to canoe and kayak on Mill pond. Great views of the pond from many windows. We brought our own bikes but there are many good bikes in the shed.

Fantastic location and excellent host
We stayed at this location for a long weekend in September, and it was perfect for our trip. The house has access to kayaking/canoeing on the lake, bikes, a fire pit, a kitchen with all of the needed implements, and has easy access to fun shopping, hiking, and restaurants. The lake is large enough to be scenic, to allow for kayaking, and to provide privacy, while either small enough or remote enough so that we never saw/heard motor boats or lake traffic. The host is great. She has put a lot of thought into the amenities, and goes out of her way to make sure you know what the location has to offer, and is clearly concerned with the happiness of her guests. She even went the extra mile for us in tracking down an expensive item our daughter lost while there, and making sure it got back to us. The only regret from one of our group is that he didn’t bring his dog (as he didn’t read the description carefully before coming), as the location appears perfect for canine visitors as well. That being said, there was no smell or obvious signs that dogs had been there in the past, which was great for the people who aren’t as fond of the presence of dogs, Overall, wonderful stay and great experience!

Ok but just wasn’t right for us.
There are pros and cons to this home. The Pros: it is secluded and I love the fenced in yard. It allowed me to let my dogs roam without worrying about them running away. Also some great hiking trails close by. Cons: people really can’t swim, no easy water access despite 240 degrees of water and too much plant lode/ weeds in the water. It was a very hot week and since there is no air conditioning, we really couldn’t cool off and my dogs were hot. Also, the house is a little cramped/ cluttered in their attempt to accommodate 8 people. There were only 4 of us and 3 dogs and it was hard to move around and no storage/counter space.
