Steps to Lake Buel, close to Great Barrington & Stockbridge

We spent 16 wonderful days at the well stocked Little Cottage which seemed quite spacious, very comfortable and overall definitely homey. We would definitely sign up for another vacation there if our schedules work.

My husband and I stayed for a week and enjoyed all of it. The house is well equipped and comfortable. We particularly liked using the canoe on the beautiful lake. While the lake bottom is a bit mushy and reedy, the water was still warm enough in September to float on a raft and it gets less reedy if you swim out a bit. The beach area is wonderful and so nice to be that close to the lake. Our host was communicative and helpful. Highly recommend!

While the property was very comfortable for the 2 of us, there were amenities available for larger groups in terms of space and lakefront toys Larger families/groups would be comfortably accommodated in the multiple bedrooms, sitting and dining areas, i.e. indoor seating for 14

The home was spacious, beautiful and had anything you needed. The lake was right there, and it was quiet and peaceful. Close to shopping, restaurants hiking and sights. Incredible and gracious host.

We’ll definitely be back

Little Cottage is perfect for that escape. It’s clean, cozy and the surroundings are beautiful. A short walk to a lovely pond with a beach, dock and access to canoes and kayaks. However be prepared for the lack of wifi/internet or central air. It made for a few warm nights. A spiral staircase is the access to the basement, where 2 bedrooms are found. You can also access it from outside, though not easily. But for a true getaway, it’s perfect.

Well laid out three bedroom home with outstanding common areas for games, dining, etc. Lots of wood, stone and glass. Short downhill trek to beach and new dock/float. Shared clay tennis court and b-ball hoop. Five minute drive to local Appalachian Trail and ten minutes to Great Barrington and it’s great offerings.

This property is extremely nicely renovated, clean, and well stocked. Expect your pick of a variety of comfy chairs! The ceiling fan in the center of the house does a great job of cooling the whole area. The kitchen is well stocked with working gadgets and tools for people who enjoy cooking. We enjoyed the fireplace on a couple of cool June evenings, and also took advantage of the dock for sunning and a few quick dips. The owner was friendly, took time to talk with us and answer questions before our stay, and responded in a timely and helpful way to communication thereafter. We hope to return soon!

Excellent stay - lovely cottage and wonderful lake deck.

The access to the lake was a little confusing at first, but it was a lovely spot. Property was clean and everything was as described. There is no internet and Verizon has ZERO service in the lake valley, but for$60 you can get a T-Mobile SIM card that gives you some minimal service with a phone hot-spot. That was the only drawback. Not really enough for streaming video. ATT may be better, not sure. House was very comfortable.
