We had a wonderful time at this home. The house abuts a working barn and we watched the horses and goats while having morning coffee. Also the lake right across the road is beautiful and we enjoyed kayaking there. Perfect for a family of 4!
We just completed our second stay in this property and it was exactly as described. The cottage is roomy, clean, comfortable, located on a lake (we swam several times), and near other Berkshire towns and Upstate NY towns. We went to farmer's markets, biked, and hiked. I highly recommend it for couples and families.
I rented the house for my married son and his wife and my daughter and her husband
Very cozy and clean house in the beautiful environment. Short drive to both Hudson and Great Barrington. The only negative was no heating during the night and the extra soft mattress, which was bas for my back. I imagine staying here in spring and summer is really enjoyable.
This property more than met our expectations. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We were able to access two different areas for skiing and snowboarding while also enjoying downtime in the cottage. Great Barrington was a 30-minute drive and fun for shopping. I would recommend this property and would stay again any time of year. Thank you, Jenifer, for creating such a welcoming and comfortable cottage.
Tastefully decorated (we liked the interior colors a lot), clean, pet friendly. Nice owner. Easy in/out. We have family we visit in area a couple of times a year. This is our second stay here and would do so again.
The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed.
Nice clean home only a short walk to a lake/pond with incredible sunrise over the water. Not sure if it’s 365 days but we stayed Labor Day weekend. Very quiet location that’s a short drive to neighboring towns.
The house was wonderful and cozy. Peaceful surroundings- with the occasional happy cheering from the local camp on the lake in the background. AC worked great during the oh so hot days of August. Walking our dog was a morning delight of deers and bunnies passing through to the lake. The neighbors were friendly. Jenifer was responsive when power went for a few hours and when cable was not working. I was traveling with my mom who uses a walker my note to anyone in that situation - it’s an older house where the doorways to the bathroom were too narrow to accommodate a walker. A little challenging at first but we made it work. Who knew?? My only suggestion to Jenifer is to get the lease and release to guests at the moment a reservation is made so it can be read thru and signed - and questions asked if needed. It’s a lengthy lease. We have rented many other places and this long lease was a first. We loved taking drives through the pastoral surroundings exploring and found local places - Copake General Store, Dad’s Diner and The Greens Restaurant great finds! Oh and The Taconic Sculpture Park (near Austerlitz) is amazing. We miss Ancram!!
We enjoyed two relaxing weeks at this clean, comfortable, well-equipped cottage by a lake. We loved having a grill on the deck, a hammock in the back yard, and kayaks on the water. The maintenance/management staff are friendly and super responsive. The setting feels private (the friendly neighboring homeowners were not there full time) and is quiet and serene. Be aware that a children's summer camp is across the lake, and you will hear their amplified music and announcements when outside. The sound doesn't spoil the overall experience, however, and we would not hesitate to return.
Immaculate and comfortable bungalow. Well appointed kitchen, nice deck and access to beautiful lake. Neighbors are close at hand.
