The views of the water, the warmth of a well loved and used cottage and the ease of staying here make it pure magic. Everything you could need for a fun week is here, whatever the season! Grateful for another week of rest, peace and a reset!
Peaceful, lakeside retreat. Nice waterfront, screened in porch, hammock to swing under the trees. Many quaint New England towns nearby and cultural attractions like Jacob's Pillow and Tanglewood.
Property was as described, a rustic lake house with modern conveniences. Our only glitch was that we were not sent the key code from VRBO. Once that was resolved, everything went smoothly.
Wonderful little log cabin. Plenty of room for a family of 5. If youâre used to living in the city be prepared - this is not a modern, luxurious dwelling but it has everything you need and is exceedingly comfortable. It oozes charm and the ultra quiet location right on the lake (Big Pond) is postcard picture perfect. The hosts Sarah and David were very responsive and helpful. We highly recommended them and their beautiful home.
Spring, summer and now fall- love this cottage and its location on Big Pond!
We feel comfortable and at home while we explore the area. Highly recommend this if you are looking for a peaceful, lovely stay in a great New England location!
We have enjoyed our stay here, especially the location. This is an older home, cabin style, as we expected but it had everything we needed. Our kids like to fish so it was the perfect location for that being right on the water. A bit of a drive if you are trying to be near a city but it worked for us since we were visiting family.
This was my second time staying at this charming cozy cottage. There was never a dull moment with kayaking swimming, walking and paddle boarding. We played rousing games at night and laughed more than we have in years. Highly recommend this wonderful spot!!
Enjoyed our stay immensely. Had a problem with furnace shutting down, but owner rectified by getting us service promptly. Ideal location and amenities excellent.
This is our second year in your home, and it was just as amazing as last year! Big pond itself holds this magic that simply heals and rejuvenates your soul. This home is cozy, comfortable, and functional. We loved having kayaks to use during our time. The kids enjoyed the dock where they spent hours a day fishing. I highly recommended this home if youre looking to stay on big pond!
This is a sweet place, three bedrooms down the hall, one large pine-paneled room with windows on 3 sides looking out into nature, and an easy to get around in kitchen. A lovely place to go and relax by the small lake that is right out the back door. Simple, and with all the amenities.
Check in process was seamless and the property is as stated in the listing. Communication with the host couldâve been a little faster but they were very nice in general.
The location is just beautiful and so peaceful it was worth every $ we spent. Very cozy home, beautiful sunrise right outside the door and the water makes things 10x beautiful. Sounds of nature and the silence like no other. Loved our stay. My only suggestion to ensure the space was cleaned a bit more. It wasnât filthy but needed some dusting. Bedding was comfortable and clean.
But Iâd totally rent this space again loved it! Thank you for this listing!
We loved every minute at this warm, beautiful home. It's a bit of a drive to the more well known towns, but that means lots of peace and quiet. The house was clean, comfortable (including our bed!), and we extra enjoyed lighting the fireplace on the rainy nights. The view was stunning. We had everything at hand that we could have wanted or needed. Thank you!
The house was everything we needed. Beautiful water views and warm relaxing fireplace. The weather wasnât warm enough for swimming or boating but we enjoyed it none the less. Owner provided excellent communication before our arrival. We had no issues while we were there.
The house was super comfortable and had everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and crystal clear. Only thing missing was a swim out raft and only because the lake is super shallow which was great for the kids but a swim out raft would have been key. Great kayaking and fishing. Kids loved watching the eagle every day. Beautiful sunrises!! We had a great week with the grandkids and would definitely go again!! If you are looking to be off the grid for a week this is the place for you and your family.
The rental process was very easy with great communication with the owners. We had an issue arise at the beginning of our stay but it was quickly resolved. The owner was very concerned and took the necessary steps to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The cottage was roomy with amazing views of the beautiful lake! It was well stocked with clean linens, dishes, silverware and all necessary cooking utensils and pots and pans. The property was private and perfect for our family. It was a very relaxing and most enjoyable vacation! We will go back again!

We are Sarah, Joel and David Holcomb. We are the 2nd generation to grow up spending summers on this lake. We are eager to share this relaxing oasis and hope you will make happy memories with your family and friends, just as we have.
This cottage was built by our grandfather and great-grandfather in the 1940s. The photo of us at the lake is circa 1976. Our parents had the cottage enlarged and winterized in 1990. They lived here for a time as their primary residence. Itâs a wonderful spot for family vacations, a gathering of friends, quality quiet time or a special holiday.
Big Pond is a lovely lake approx 1 mile across, and 1.5 miles long, stocked with fish, and a great place to paddle around. While there are many cottages, it is not overcrowded with people or powerboats. There is a charming village nearby with a country store, roadside syrup stands, and a local ice cream shop. Along with all of the cultural attractions as close as 15 minutes, there are also several small and large ski slopes very close as well.
