Charming home in private Beachwood Community on Lake Mahkeenac, Stockbridge

Sweet house; great location; very clean; had everything we needed! Dog friendly! Rebecca was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Definitely would recommend and hope to return!

House has plenty of room and a well-stocked kitchen. It is in a very quiet area developed about 50 years ago but maintained very well (although the access roads are a bit of a challenge). Easy access to Tanglewood (7 minutes), Stockbridge Bowl, (5 minutes), and Lenox (10 minutes). Would be happy to go back!

The property was lovely, just as listed, and the location right near Tanglewood can’t be beat. We really enjoyed the beach, which was very peaceful and never crowded. The property feels very secluded and we enjoyed spending time on the back porch surrounded by woods. We would definitely come again!

We had the great pleasure of staying in Rebecca's home in the Beachwood community this August. The location could not be better. The home is located towards the end of lane that is not a through road and is surrounded by woods. You really can't see your neighbors. Yet it is a 5 - 7 minute walk to the community beach on the Stockbridge Bowl. The neighborhood is great for walking and running and everyone is so friendly. You are also incredibly close to cultural activities. Tanglewood is a mere 2.5 miles away and Shakespeare & Company not much further. You can be home from shows within minutes of their conclusion. Additionally, the charming towns of Stockbridge, Lenox and Great Barrington are within short driving distances. Further afield, you can visit Mt. Greylock and the museums of the northern Bershires on an easy day trip. We particularly enjoyed the Clark Museum where we saw the Edvard Munch special exhibition. Further afield, you can take in the excitement of the Saratoga race course on a slightly longer day trip. The home is well stocked and Rebecca was very responsive to our requests. Needless to say, our month at Rebecca's home flew by and we wholeheartedly recommend staying there.

The house was exactly as described and we appreciated that- it was so nice to have access to Stockbridge bowl within a 5 min walk. I would have appreciated having all the information about the house in a booklet as it typically is- Details about what we can use ( camping chairs in the front closet, etc). I was sent info via an email a day ahead about what to do when leaving, etc but each time I needed to refer to it , I had to keep Looking on my phone., .Usually there is additional info such as the owners favorite restaurants etc. If I wasn’t familiar with the area, that would have been very disappointing. Communications were easy with Rebecca when I contacted her - always a quick response . We also appreciated her letting us check in an hour early and leaving later in our check out day since it was pouring when we would need to leave. I do recommend this home .

Rebecca's home was delightful. The location was sublime, nestled near the end of a dead end dirt road. It was quiet and serene. The home itself had a perfect open floor plan, wood burning fireplace and screened porch. The bed was comfy, the heaters kept it nice and warm, the lighting extra nice with dimmers and the decor charming. I loved sitting on the couch and looking out the picture window at the tall trees and having no one around. Highly recommend!!

This was a beautiful location with a very private screen porch and backyard. Perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the area.

Second Thanksgiving week in Beachwood. From Great Dane sightings, discovering the beach and grove, and many neighborhood walks, so much fun was had. Truly thankful for a host like Rebecca. Maybe 2023 will bring opportunity for a visit at a different time of year. Just want to note to future guests, pitas at Vivaldi’s in Lee are awesome, pizza from Boema in Lenox is wicked good, you absolutely must have carnitas from Xicohtencatl in Great Barrington, and for meals created in the awesome kitchen do stock up on delish goods from Guido’s in Pittsfield.

Just returned from this very comfortable rental. My family of five was extremely happy and comfortable in Rebecca's home. The air conditioning made two hot and humid days very comfortable. The screened in porch was a godsend on the buggy days. Easy check in and excellent communication with the owner. Beautiful lake with a great beach, sand bottom and crystal clear water. We were very happy with this rental and would return in the future.

This vacation home and the little lakeside community that surrounds it was really special. We spent hours just sitting on the screen porch, enjoying the quiet and woods. Perfect set up for families, especially with small children. A little beach on Stockbridge Bowl that is SUPER child friendly is a 5 minute (fun) walk through a very safe community. Our goal was relaxation and lots and lots of music at Tanglewood, with occasional visits from family or friends while they were visiting the Berkshires. This place met every one of our wishes. The owner was fabulously nice and responsive to any questions we had. A great visit to a very special little spot.
