Restful location on Big Pond. Spent hours on the deck enjoying the views and listening to birds. Appreciated that deck had sturdy table with 4 chairs & umbrella, lounge chair and wooden chairs. Saw an eagle my last evening. Great star gazing. The outdoor common area with additional seating and table was very comfortable. Didn't end up using fire pit but wood available which I appreciated. The kitchen had basic supplies but glad we brought our own frying pan. Need to bring all kitchen food items including salt and pepper. The ground around the house is uneven and stairs at both front and back so may be challenging for someone with limited mobility. Owners very responsive by both text and phone. Hope to return!
Exactly as promised. Because of the unexpected cold temperatures we had the pleasure of lighting up the wood stove in the mornings and it worked great to take the chill out of the air.
Our stay was wonderful. The cabin was just as described. The waterfront was phenomenal! Debbie and Christine could not have been lovlier. Our special needs niece
Cannot stop telling everyone about "her"
Lake house vacation. Thank you!
My family enjoyed staying on Big Pond. We were able to go swimming every day and relaxed overlooking the water. The living room is very comfortable with many comfy places to sit. The kitchen is well equipped, but I would bring my own nonstick pan next time. There are plenty of places to sit and relax by the fire pit. We brought our own chairs but found we didnât need them. There are convenient stores close by that made it easy for us to run out and get replacement groceries. Overall my family had a great time on this trip.
Rustic cabin with a great lake location. The outdoor and indoor space was comfortable for two seniors , young parents with a new born and preschool children. Used my two weeks to visit family enjoy nature. Many of the days were rainy. We found many things to do with in a 20 min drive.
The place was exactly what we were looking for. The owners were very attentive to what we needed and extremely friendly. We also met some very nice neighbors, Mike and Cathy. Our dog Tia, even made a new friend with their dog Finnigan. They bounced around together, all week long. We would love to go back but the owner's dogs were not as friendly to our dog, as we would have liked them to be. The owner did take them home for the majority of the week which eliminated the concern. When they were there I was continously worrying about the dogs interactions. Other then that, it was a beautiful week. Thank you Chris , Mike, Cathy, and Deb for the great time.
We were very pleased with our cozy cottage. It was very clean when we arrived and had all the kitchen supplies that we could ask for. The host, Debbie was very thorough with her directions and also needed items to bring. The location was beautiful, and we were so grateful for the lovely view from the cottage.
great place to have a vacation :-) just bring food, bathing suits, towels!!! cabin has basically all your other needs for inside and outside. looking forward to planning to go back. Thank you for the great memories
This was a cozy camp nestled in a sweet shallow cove. Watched eagles fly and ospreys diving for fish. It's a basic no frills camp, but the location can't be beat! Owners are very responsive and helpful with local info. Would recommend.
Down a dirt road to a hidden nook of the Bershires. this house abuts a lovely lake and has a deck that overlooks the water. All you'll hear is birdsong and an occasional outboard (no cars!) The rustic home is clean and practically free of bugs. Owners are friendly and responsive. Relaxing on the deck was heaven.
Great dock, great fire pit, great deck, great indoor fireplace! Loved having the kayaks snd canoe to paddle around the gorgeous lake. If youâre looking for architectural perfection and all the mod cons (beds are v basic, no alternate heat source, etc.) maybe look elsewhere but if youâre looking for a genuine old school, charmingly rustic cottage on beautiful lake look no further.
We had a lovely time in Otis! The hosts were kind and responsive. The cabin is cozy and comfortable, with a wood stove that we used a lot and enjoyed as the weather was chilly while we were there! The lake is beautiful. It was so nice to be in a rural place for the transition from summer to fall. Thanks for everything.
This cottage suited us just fine. Beautiful spot on the lake, great deck to relax on, nice fire pit by the lake. Inside is a little rustic but very comfortable. Owners Debbie and linda were great to work with, if you have any problem walking the terrain around the house is very uneven and there are a few steps to get in the cottage. We had a great time and would go backđ
This is a rustic, summery cottage on the lakefront, with a wonderful deck and a dock with adirondack chairs. It was slightly chilly over Labor Day and we found the wood stove was a fantastic feature, especially with a great supply of wood from the owner. We greatly appreciated the use of kayaks and a canoe for forays into the lake in the late afternoons. The water temperature was pleasant and the swimming good. It was just what we wanted.
My family and I had a wonderful time at the property. The location and lake are absolutely beautiful. The property accommodated my family of 5 well. The raft was a hit and watching the bald eagle was so interested. Our week here was just what we needed to relax and spend some quality time together!
The house and location were just beyond perfect for our family vacation. homeowners were incredible and attentive to our needs. breathtaking views from the back deck to the inside of the house, this beautiful house is super comfortable and immaculate! walk right out your back door to the crystal clear lake, which also made for great swimming, and the use of the canoe was a great addition to our wonderful vacation!! we look forward to returning next year!
Our stay was fabulous. Rented two cottages for our first annual family vacation. The owners are very pleasant and willing to meet your needs. Kitchens were well stocked with appliances and paraphernalia for easy meal prep. We will definitely be returning every summer.
