Beautiful 8 Bedroom, Walk to Lake, Jetted Hot Tub, Fireplace, & Pool Table

Welcome.....we invite you to come enjoy the great space of our beautiful home with your family and friends in our unique 4000 sq. ft. custom built home with sleeping accommodations for up to 28. With 8 bedrooms, 2 full kitchens, 3 beautifully updated bathrooms and great outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining, we think it's the perfect gathering spot.
The house is nestled in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains and situated between 2 beautiful lakes that have incredible views. One lake (Onota) is just a short walk down the street where you can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking and more. Feel free to bring your Kayaks, jet skis or boat and store them at our fenced in yard. The second lake (Pontoosuc) is just a short 3 minute drive. This lake also boasts beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and aside from boat and jet ski rentals, this area also has amenities such as on the lake restaurants with a view and golfing. Plenty of wineries and brew houses within minutes of the house.
The season changes are amazing in the Berkshire Mountains. The fall shows off the beautiful mountains in spectacular colors and all the charming country farms are bustling with hay rides, apple picking and pumpkin fests. Winter provides an abundance of snow and our house is located just minutes from some of the best ski resorts and just a walk away from ice fishing on the lake. Spring jumps alive with the new and upcoming season of summer events. The summer season provides so many different things to do you won't know where to begin. The Berkshire summer weather is almost always perfect for enjoying the many outdoor activities the area has to offer.
We are family friendly and cater strictly to mature adults and families only. We are happy to open up our home to those who wish to gather in a homey atmosphere for reunions, holiday gatherings, work retreats and social events, whether family or friends wishing to enjoy special occasions together, such as wedding parties, work retreats and friend getaways. However, it is not a "party house" or a place to host young adult parties and we do not rent to high school groups wishing to host graduation gatherings.
COMING SUMMER 2025 A/C. For the comfort of our summer guests we will be installing a few window a/c's for a few months during the higher temperature summer months. This is usually between early July and up to mid/end of August.

We had a great time. The house was a perfect size for our group. There were some minor complaints as they did not supply us with much toilet paper, paper towels, cleaner, dishwashing, liquid, or garbage bags and so we had to go out and buy additional supplies.

Great gathering spot
We stayed at this spacious home , 6 of us, 2 teenagers, 2 parents, 2 grandparents. It was ideal for basically hanging around. Excellent kitchen, pool table, game room, tv with expansive sofa. We played games, just chatted and enjoyed ourselves. Lovely atmosphere, we only ate in town once. We were able to bring along our elderly dog, who was a bit confused about being n a new house, but loved being with the family. She had a fun time too.

Great gathering house near to everything
The house easily accommodated our entire team of 12 athletes and 2 coaches. Plenty of space, and the home has been recently updated. We were there in February for races at Jiminy Peak, so no lake activity for us. Easy drive to the ski area. Margaret provided detailed instructions for the house prior to arrival, and was very attentive, though there was no need to contact her. All in all, great stay and convenient!

Everyone loves this home.
House is great for large or small groups. It is very clean and well maintained. Hot tub was sparkling clean and in very good condition. Neighborhood is residential, very quiet and friendly. One of my favorite things about the house is that even with a large group, there must be 10 spots to find a quiet place and rest or read a book. The owner, Margaret, is a consummate professional and obviously experienced in short term home rental business, she responds quickly and has thought of everything.

Excellent Thanksgiving Family Reunion
This was the second time we have spent our 4-day Thanksgiving weekend at Margret’s house, having stayed there in 2021. (Another family reserved before us in 2022.) Of primary concern to us were the kitchens (yes, that’s plural), which were very well stocked with all the cooking equipment you could need. Having two stoves and two refrigerators was VERY helpful. The large main room we used for eating and gathering. A big hit was the pool table, and we also used the fire pit in the backyard. Last year we stayed at a place in Norwich CT that was twice the price and half as nice. Strongly recommend Margaret’s place.

Great Vacation House
Our family group of 17 had a wonderful family vacation here. The house was a perfect fit for our group , very roomy and enough comfortable seating for all. The house is beautifully decorated and we enjoyed the themed bedrooms. We loved having the 2 kitchens and plenty of dishes and cookware. The large backyard was perfect for games and for the kids to run around. Nice fire pit area. We were able to enjoy the area for the numerous hiking areas and Lake Onota was nearby with its beautiful views and swimming and boating areas. We had a great time and this place is on our list of places we would go back to. Thank you Margaret for your promptness in answering any concerns we had.

Family Christmas
We had a lovely (white!) Christmas as a large family group. The house was snug and cosy, and large enough to comfortably accommodate 11 adults. We found the place to be a little under-stocked on essentials (trash bags, dishwasher soap, shampoo)- none of which would have been an issue except that it was a holiday weekend during a blizzard, so we couldn’t go out to get the things we needed. That said, the house was clean and comfortable and has a big yard and hot tub- and the host was very friendly and communicative. Would come back for sure!

Great family getaway
We had a great family reunion at this property. The bedrooms were all large and accommodated our party. We had quick access to the bike path, swimming at the lake, and family hikes. We also really enjoyed the outdoor area which has a fenced yard, grill and hot tub! The listing was very accurate in terms of the amenities. The only part we didn’t love was that while there were 2 kitchens, the fully stocked one/one with the gas stove, along with the formal dining room, were tucked away from the family sitting areas, and were a bit out of the way from where everyone was hanging out, but if you’re not doing a ton of cooking that’s less of an issue! The neighborhood was also not super nice, but this was not a surprise and the house was fenced for privacy. Overall this was a perfect spot for our large family group and we had a great experience.
