Rich is more than a Super Host! We were welcomed personally upon arrival and given a tour of the property and grounds. Nestled in lush nature, the view of the lake while rocking in the swinging bench is breathtaking. Very clean and comfortable accommodations.
It was the short weekend runaway we needed and were looking forward to. It's a quick ride to Pittsfield but we decided to cross the border to Manchester, VT. The place was as described, quiet, clean, secluded but easy to find. The Lake was fantastic but, due to weather, decided against taking the kayaks out. Perhaps next time. Thanks to Rich for being a great and gracious host!
Basic hotel room experience. Comfy bed! Great shower. I only slept there, so I canât comment on the lake or deck area. Only thing - I could hear their TV through the wall but it didnât bother me!
It was exactly as we hoped and expected. Warm, cozy, clean, lovely decor. Didnât really get to enjoy the very welcoming porch and patio with view of the lake because of the weather . . .maybe next time!
Great Lake Room/Home Getaway with a Lovely Sunset!
If youâre looking for a nice quiet place to get away, look no further! Rich and Maureen have a lovely home right on the water. They have a two person kayak and some personal kayaks for you to use. The jacuzzi tub was a very nice touch and my wife very much enjoyed! The room you stay in is connected to the main home however it truly is private, as well as having your own private entrance, you will hear the tv from time to time but honestly it didnât bother at all. Rich and Maureen were great host and gave great recommendations! We will definitely be back!
Our accommodations at Richard and Maureenâs on Lake Ashmere in Hindsdale were just right for an overnight stay for our first visit to see James Taylorcat Tanglewood. We were pleased with the quiet one-bedroom location on the lake. Richard greeted us in person and pointed out where we could take in the lake views which included the use of his kayaks. Our room (attached to Richardâs house-w/a private entrance offered a comfortable bed, couch, tv (w/Amazon and You Tube tv) microwave, mini refrigerator, coffee pot w/coffee and cream and a large bathroom w/tiled shower and 2 sinks. It was so nice to be off the beaten-path (tucked away in the super quiet association neighborhood and away from the noise pollution of cars and trucks that travel tte busy main road close to our house back home. Loved waking up and going down to the dock to sit by the lake, have coffee and watch for Eagles. Towels,linens and soap were provided along w/plenty of brochures for what to do in the area. A hidden gem! We will definitely keep Richardâs place in mind for future trips to tte Berkshires!
The property is right on a beautiful lake as advertised. The host is very friendly and cares about his property and his guests. Pros include brand new towels, lots of soaps and shampoo, spacious bathroom, good hot water supply, outdoor seating areas and use of kayaks. Cons are a pull-out sofa to sleep on with a very very soft mattress. Also the host family can be heard in the next room most mornings.
Beautiful property. Friendly hosts. Stocked with everything you should need. Plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the scenic surroundings. I recommend staying at Rich's place.
I am originally from East Hartford, CT. Relocated after college to western ma. to pursue Engineering Management in a high tech company. I was the host for a Bed and Breakfast in Lenox ma. for about 8 years until retiring at my beautiful home on Lake Ashmere in Hinsdale, Ma. It very interesting to meet new people and to be able to share this pristine location with others.
very quiet, safe and fantastic sunsets. In the winter I can even snowmobile from my dock to the highest mountain in Ma, or head north about 12 miles to Vermont.
