Took family on a trip to Butternut and this was the perfect house for my family of 5. House was clean and cozy, bed comfortable and lots of space for my 3 kids. Easy drive to downtown Great Barrington. We would stay here again in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home in the Berkshires. The house was lovely and nicely accommodated our family with adult children and grandchildren. The house was clean and very comfortable. And, being so close to a small beach for swimming and boating was terrific. We had easy access to much of what the Berkshires have to offer. We hope to return!
Perfect long weekend stay for a group of 10 including kids. The house is huge with lots of great amenities. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit the Berkshires with a large group. Local beach was great also and everyone there super friendly.
Cindy is a wonderful host, accommodating and very responsive. This beautiful home is well kept and had everything we needed during our stay. Our family and friends enjoyed the close proximity to all that is offered in the Berkshires. Looking forward to booking again !!
We had a wonderful long weekend. House was exceptionally clean and completely well stocked. Ample room for 6 adults. Beautiful souroundings outside perfect for walks. Decor was lovely and host made everything easy to find and mahage. Highly recommend.
Cindy's place is perfect for a family getaway - the floor plan is open - there is natural sunlight throughout the entire house and the views are incredible. The first floor has multiple places to hang out with 2 living room areas to gather for some family fun. There is also a beautiful loft to enjoy TV or just relax on the couch's. The kitchen has everything you need to stay in and cook meals and has seating at the island that can accommodate 4. There is also a dining room which would accommodate up to 10 at the same table. The kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms were all fully stocked with all the essentials you need. The house was extremely clean and comfortable, clearly designed thoughtfully to accommodate guests. We used the gas fireplace's every night we were there - plenty of space for all eight of us to sit comfortably and enjoy the warmth of the fire. There is also an area on the main floor to watch TV and there is a wrap around couch to accommodate up to eight people. There is also an added bonus a 2 car garage that we used since there was a storm the weekend we stayed - so nice not to have to scrape/take the snow off the cars. The host is nice and very professional, and easy to reach out to if needed and responds right away. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan on visiting the Berkshires.
We have traveled extensively and found this property to exceed our expectations. We are working professionals, gourmet cooks and active adults. The house was immaculate and well stocked from a kitchen standpoint. Fantastic communication with the owners as well.
We had a fabulous time.The house was very spacious allowing our big family to get together and celebrate our Son's high school graduation. We love that everything was labled and easy to find and Cindy was very helpful and accessible. Definitely looking forward to going back to enjoy the lake thats only a few steps away!
Traveled from NC and Las Vegas for a family wedding. Lovely house, perfect for the seven of us. Had a swim in the lake and made some good memories. The house had everything we needed and then some! Very spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend the home. Cindy was great to work with.
Spacious, well equipped, lovely house and property. Very nice beach nearby. One minor inconvenience. Kayaks have to be brought back and forth to the beach daily. Not a long walk but it is a hill.
We had a very nice time. House was well equipped and very spacious, and all communications with the owner were easy.
Only complaint is that the description of the house was “lakeside” and it was across the street from the lake. Not a problem in the winter, but if it had been summertime, we would have been annoyed.

A GREAT house!
We stayed in Cindys house for a family get together. There were 6 adults and 4 kids. A perfect amount of space and rooms. The one level floor plan was perfect for little ones. The house was so clean and well taken care of. It had everything we needed, the kids gear was a nice bonus! While it was not lake weather, the lake is gorgeous. The house is located centrally to many things. Cindy was great to work with. We look forward to coming back!!
We stayed for a week in this beautiful Berkshire home with our adult children, their spouses and our one grandchild. There is so much room in this place that we never felt crowded.
There are wonderful common areas inside and outside including two decks. The kitchen is well stocked. Appliances and decor are first class. The lake is a three minute walk.
Lee, Great Barrington, and Lenox are all easily accessible, as well as some great local hikes and gardens. Check out Bob’s Way and Ashintully Gardens.
we would definitely consider staying here again.
My siblings and I gathered with our significant others in this well equipped and comfortable house nested in the woods in the Berkshires. We enjoyed sharing memories in this quiet setting. The beds were so comfortable, we all slept well. We were sorry we couldn’t see the lake from the deck because of trees and foliage but we were able to walk to the beach. We didn’t use the kayaks as they were too heavy for the group (all over 75).
We enjoyed our trips to Jacobs Pillow and the Norman Rockwell museum. We spent our evenings gathered around the house’s large dining table eating our evening meal while laughing about our youth.
