Cute and cozy lake cottage, next to DAR State Forest
Small cozy cottage on Lower Highland Lake with a view and easy access. No motorboats are allowed so this lake is pristine and quiet (SUPs & kayaks provided). The Northern Lights have even been sited on this Lake (see pics), rare, but true! You will be able to kick up your heels and relax, leaving all of your stressors behind. The cottage abuts the DAR State Forest, which has 15 miles of hiking trails (for all levels), birdwatching, and XC skiing. A short 25-minute drive to Northampton, known as an academic, artistic, musical, and countercultural hub and home to Smith College. A 30-minute drive to Berkshire East Ski Resort and Stumps XC Skiing Center and a 50-minute drive to Bousquet and Jiminy Peak Ski Resorts.
The house was beautiful the neighborhood was peaceful the kayaking and fishing was definitely our favorite part of our trip would definitely come back again
The cottage is very cozy, relaxing, and peaceful. Having the state forest in the back made it more private. It is a 20 minute drive to Northampton which is full of cute shops, a grocery store, etc. The lake is quiet and tranquil. The neighbors are quiet and everyone seems to keep to themselves. The only negatives is that the shower is quite small, but there was plenty of hot water for the two of us. The bedrooms are small but it was okay for me and my daughter to have enough space. I would recomomend staying here!
