Lakefront Fall Foliage in New England Just 2 Hours From NYC

This is my third time staying here and the hosts made a special last minute accomodation for me. I cannot say enough good things about the hosts, the home, the location and the peaceful surroundings!

Love this place! My third visit to this cottage and hope to continue to visit with my pupper!!! So peaceful and beautiful.

Beautiful location on a convenient road to both Sharon and Millerton. It’s only 10 to the farmers market! Quiet and private. Very clean. Host was flexible and communicative during my stay. Sunset on the lake is beautiful. Generous access to fishing, canoe, etc. on property. Landscaping is also beautiful. Lots of care put into home and guest experience. It was such a nice place to rest & relax!

The expansive view of the lake was divine. We saw many red winged blackbirds as well as wood ducks and mallards. On night there was a dramatic electrical storm that came over the mountain and across the water, but we could watch it while feeling cozy and safe in the comfy chairs. The kitchen had all that we needed. The location was a perfect balance of rural and near town. Caught a movie at the Millerton movie house which was enlightening. An excellent escape cottage! Showers were quickly hot. Everything smelled nice.

What a lovely place. The view across the lake even with the snow was stunning. Hosts very responsive when i had questions. Would highly recommend!

This was the second time we stayed at the cottage and look forward to returning. The host makes you feel right at home; clean rooms, beautifully decorated, everything you need is provided down to a toy present for the pup! I highly recommend this property.

Truly enjoyed our fall hiking getaway in your cozy well appointed cottage. The location on Indian Lake is beautiful, especially taking in the glorious sunsets. The available boating options with easy access to the lake enhanced our stay. The cottage is conveniently situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The trails just across the street were an added bonus. We highly recommend this property.

Great location, quiet and beautiful. Loved the trails, picturesque drives between small towns and cozy accommodations.

This was our 2nd time staying and we LOVED it just as much as before! The house is just charming… exactly as pictured. Comfy and cozy with amazing views. My husband went out every morning and evening fishing. I relaxed and enjoyed the views from both inside and out. Nice hiking trails, wineries and shops all close by.

Lovely stay in this well appointed home. Had everything you need and more. We enjoyed relaxing and easy living for a few days! Thank you!

This little piece of heaven was wonderful! We felt so at home and welcomed, but also felt like we were staying on distant shores! Our two dogs, Ben and Barnie, were met with new toys and settled in comfortably. Outstanding views! Watching the fog burn off in the morning was so peaceful. All the features were fantastic. We can't wait to come back. We loved every minute of life at Yellow Hook!

Wonderful property, peaceful, and exactly as described. Super fast wifi. Great hosts with good communication and clear instructions. The lake activities were ideal.

Everything was absolutely wonderful!Amanda and Ed were amazing!!I asked a lot of questions as usual lol and they got back to me immediately. We felt safe. The home was cozy, clean and very accommodating. My husband was so excited. He caught a large mouth bass within minutes. Catch and release of course. They even bought two dog toys for each of our pups which they loved… it was so sweet! We would definitely go back there!

This was my second trip to this property in 2 years. The hosts are super easy to work with, the house is clean and while small, has everything you need. It's a great location and the towns are quaint and enjoyable. There are some great eats around too,with something for everyone.

Great hosts and very charming cottage. All the amenities you could want. Beautiful kayaking and birdwatching.

My wife and decided to decompress from life in Manhattan with a two-week stay at this cottage by the lake. We had an absolute blast. The lake was steps away for kayaking, fishing, wildlife watching (our resident Muskrat Muskie swimming by with his head above water, Great Blue Heron, Eagles). Fishing was great, with some good size Smallmouth Bass, plus Perch and panfish. We loved the firepit (sunken pit for large fire if you like) and the picnic table and good size lawn around them. The interior is super cute decorated with a tastefully curated selection of lake house decorations. When not enjoying the cottage, we found it a great home base from which to explore nearby towns (Kent, Salisbury, Sharon, etc.), the Housatonic River, and many great hikes close by. The trailhead to a beautiful moderate hike in the Sharon Land Trust is under a five minute walk from the cottage. Just a fantatstic spot.

We enjoyed a lovely week by the lake. Our hosts made everything easy from check-in to check-out. Their lovely house is well-equipped from the complete kitchen, comfortable living spaces and all the outdoor, boating and lake accessories you may need. We enjoyed kayak rides on the quiet lake, BBQs at the picturesque picnic table and hiking at the nature preserve just across the street. Everything about the stay was wonderful!

We had a wonderful week by the lake, enjoying the beautiful view of the water. We went boating, hiking at the preserve across the street, and biking on the nearby rail trail. The cottage was very comfortable - everything was thoughtfully set up. We'd love to come back!

This cabin is ideal for a family getaway. It's in a beautiful location with a lake on one side and hiking trails on the other! The cabin is tiny and yet has everything you need. It is very comfortable and cozy. I've stayed here in the winter and the summer and it was wonderful both times.The kayaking is divine!

Great location and fully equipped cabin! I hope to return sometime soon Everything was perfect!

Wonderful time, beautiful lakeside view

It was a great stay- beautiful property and would love to book again! It was really challenging to get onto the lake with the doc deflated but that’s such an easy fix! Everything else was wonderful!

Great place! Loved waking up to a water view. Very peaceful.

Charming cottage with beautiful lake views. It’s clean and stocked with things like coffee and spices, so you don’t need to buy a lot of extra things just for a short stay. Lots of wildlife and convenient for both short and extensive walks/hikes.

My husband and I wanted to get away and stay in a house with a lake view, and Amanda's place was perfect. The house is so close to the lake that you can be cozy inside and still get wonderful views of the lake. We saw beaver each evening at sunset, wood ducks, and great blue herons among other wildlife. The house was very clean and well-stocked, and we very much appreciated the multiple pairs of binoculars and bird books and magazines. We did many short hikes that are in the area, including the wonderful nature preserve that's across the street, visiting both Audubon centers that are in Sharon, and hiking at Kent Falls state park. One rainy day we enjoyed the beautiful drive from Salisbury to Great Barrington and Stockbridge, with stops at local bakeries and cafes. We ate very well the whole time, including a wonderful dinner at the White Hart Inn. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend Amanda's place as a wonderful lakeside getaway any time of year!

The host was great and the property had everything we wanted and more. We will be back.

We had a beautiful, peaceful, cozy fall weekend at this cabin. The location is stunning next to the lake and across the street from hiking trails. The cabin had everything we needed and was quite comfortable. The only caveat is that it abuts a road with aggressive drivers so I did not feel comfortablet letting my dog off leash. Other than that, ideal. I will definitely be back!

Our weekend stay at the lakehouse was absolutely wonderful! It was a quiet little escape but full of fun surprises. We loved sitting outside with the dogs and watching the wildlife around the lake. We also took several walks at the nature preserve, just across the street! We highly recommend this cozy little home away from home.

Our children love fishing. They enjoyed getting out on the kayaks and simply being near the water. The location is a perfect distance from Sharon and Amenia.

We absolutely LOVED this house. It was so warm and inviting with everything you could possibly need! The decor was so comforting… it was like walking through your favorite store. Everything made us smile. My husband was out in a kayak fishing every chance he could. We both spent a lot of time enjoying the beautiful lake, hiking and visiting the surrounding towns.

Overall a nice place to visit. A small family who likes the outdoors would enjoy it.

My family had such a wonderful time at this cabin on the lake!! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. We spent our days out in the beautiful yard, fishing and kayaking! It was so relaxing and quiet out on the water. A small town secluded feel, but there was a CVS 5 minutes away for any necessities. The hosts have thought of everything and supply everything you may need. We can't wait to go back!
