Our family, we grandparents, two of our children and partners and two grandchildren(10 years old) had a ball! It was tight for space but except for meals and night we were seldom all there.

The lake is perfect for kids. It is small, no motorized boats allowed and the park across the lake (5 minute walk) has a supervised buoyed swimming area. The kayak and rowboat were big hits and the extra large dining room table allowed for family dinners, cards, monopoly etc. We don't think we could have picked a better place. And North Adams and Williamstown are very close for shopping and art galleries etc. The two best being the Mass Museum of Contemporary Art and The Clark which besides being spectacular in design contains a grand collection of world class art. The interior of the cottage is decorated beautifully and the kitchen equipped perfectly. Now with all that being said, it is a cottage. Water pressure is lower than city pressure and the roadway into the cottage has suffered from all the spring and summer rain (2017) but this is barely even a minor aggravation. Stay here, you will love it !
