A Beautiful Log Cabin In The Woods, On Pontoosuc Lake, Yet Near Everything

John is a wonderful host and anticipated all our needs. We were able to relax and recharge in nature. His home was accessible to so much the Berkshires have to offer.

The cabin continues to be a magical place. It is incredibly comfortable and homey and the property is set up to meet all the needs you may have- indoor fires, outdoor fires, grilling, smores, movies indoor or outdoor, paddling, and birds upon birds that beg to be watched. This was our third year and we will keep coming back.

The house is a perfect place for a relaxing stay, near the water, and close to everything in the area, yet removed enough to feel like you're in the middle of the forest. John was excellent to communicate with, and we look forward to coming back in the future.

The cabin was perfectly located for a week of exploring the Berkshires and southern Vermont. It is centrally located in the region, but feels private because it is surrounded by trees and set back from the road. It was the best stocked kitchen I've had in a rental. Relaxing by the pond was very peaceful; I particularly enjoyed the hammocks. Kayaks and a canoe were available. The cabin was spotless.

Great cabin on the lake with loads of amenities and welcoming touches. It was just me visiting a colleague but this is a great place for a group retreat or family fun as well as a peaceful place for someone traveling solo. Excellent and communicative host and I really enjoyed my time here.

Cozy cabin on the lake. So many activities including kayaking, canoeing and just floating. Very private location but close enough that restaurants deliver. Easy to get down to the lake from the cabin, even for seniors. Full entertainment areas at the waterfront. I hosted a dinner for twelve with no problem. Owner is great and available if you need him

Tucked out of the way. Idyllic. Outfitted with anything you could want or need. As a family we have stayed at many short term rentals over the years and can say that we have never felt anything more home like--as in it could have Uncle John's camp from childhood. Really lovely.

Can not compliment the owners enough they go above and beyond, to make sure you have everything you can possibly think of 4 a comfortable stay. So much to do here, but yet it is so relaxing. Definitely looking to return soon. was sad to go.

We had a Wonderful stay at The America House!

Another beautiful week at the log cabin. This is our second year and we are booked for a third. The location, amenities and wildlife are all fantastic.

I could not be more satisfied with the experience we had during our short stay. It was actually very nice to be more in the quiet Cove vs the main lake area… Paddling via canoe or kayak to the main lake area and swimming off of the island there was quite special.

This is our 2nd stay and we love it just as much as the first time

Great private location on the lake. Had a wonderful weekend with the family. Outside set up was fantastic with all the amenities that could thought of. Will definitely stay again.

5 stars all around very relaxing and a great location. John is a great host too very accommodating!

Spent a week. Our fourth stay and once again, a delightful time.

The house and property was clean and well cared for. Enjoyed the lake very much. Great location!

Great place especially for an active family

The cabin is large and extremely well stocked inside and out. The property is large and there are many amenities outside near the water. The cabin had everything we needed and it is close to Mount Greylock reserve. I wish we had a few more days to spend there. We would love to visit again. The best VRBO we have ever rented.

Had an amazing weekend in this beautiful cabin! Highly recommend staying here! Great host, amazing views, beautiful property!

This was the second time we stayed in this home because it is so nice and the host is generous and friendly. On a cold rainy day we stayed indoors with a fire and on the nice weather days we spent time by the lake. A perfect combination. We definitely go back.

What a great weekend!! I just wish we could have stayed longer. The cabin is beautiful and had everything I was looking for. Very comfortable accommodations for the 3 of us. We throughly enjoyed being outdoors around the fire pit which was great after a long afternoon on the kayak and canoe. Host was easy to reach with great communication. Overall very happy with our stay and look forward to returning.
