About this property

Quiet Comfortable Cabin 5 Min. Walk to Swimming and Boating

Remember the simple pleasures of a country, lakeside vacation where you can spend the day swimming or boating, exploring the countryside, or just read the afternoon away on the screened-in porch? Get back to those simple pleasures in our cabin, located in a beautiful, quiet country setting in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains. The cabin is just a five minute walk to a lake where you can swim, fish (catch and release-permit required), kayak or canoe (boats, paddles and life jackets provided). Or spend the day exploring the many surrounding towns with antiques, restaurants and shopping galore; take a drive down a country road looking for roadside farm stands; go for a long walk in the woods; or explore the nearby rock quarry (the app AllTrails is a must have for this!). At night, have dinner at an outdoor restaurant, grill on the deck, relax with a glass of wine on the porch, roast marshmallows, do a puzzle, or enjoy your favorite streaming on our Roku TV with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and more. The house has one large main room with living and kitchen areas, and two small bedrooms.
The larger room has a queen bed with a comfy mattress and luxurious linens. The smaller bedroom has a full-size bed and narrow twin upper bunk (for children only). There is a cozy screened-in front porch with lounge furniture and fan, and a back deck with gas grill and seating for four. Between the natural setting and nearby cultural and outdoor attractions, you're sure to find plenty to do here to relax and have fun at a safe distance from others.

Peaceful and Relaxing
My stay was shorter than I had planned but the few days I was here was so relaxing. First of all, the bed is so comfortable, I slept like a baby. Very quiet area. Nice to walk around with my dogs and explore. The cottage was nicely outfitted with any needs you might have. Beautiful time of year to stay here! I cannot wait to go back. I also want to say I appreciate that they allowed my two dogs. My dogs are very well behaved, and I travel with them quite often. Not all places allow this, so I did appreciate this. It made my stay here more enjoyable. Till next time.

Great Cabin with great walks neaby
This cabin was comfortable and well equipped. The big advantage was the nearby opportunities for walks and swimming. There's also a great breakfast/lunch restaurant/store less than 5 minutes away by car.

ry nice place
This place was just what me and my two besties needed! It was very quiet and peaceful, and the screened in porch was just lovely. It might have felt crowded with more than three people, though. Everything worked well and the place is well-equipped.

Wonderful cottage and location
The cottage was perfect for us two. It’s so quiet in Sherwood Forest. Great area to bike, kayak and walk. Very peaceful. So close to Jacob’s Pillow, such a treasure. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking ware. Sherwood Shoppe, just a mile up the road, is a treat for breakfast, coffee, good low key hospitality. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place
We had an excellent stay at this lovely little cottage. All was as advertised and it was a great place to hang out during the times the weather was uncooperative; especially since the screen porch stayed dry. The place seemed freshly renovated. We expect to be back.

Great place to relax
The cottage was beautiful. It had everything thing you needed. Communication with the host was great. The breeze that came in on the front screened in porch was the best!! We were able to check in a few hours earlier. The beaches are beautiful, did a lot of swimming. The Sherwood Shoppe just a mile down the road has the best sandwiches. We brought our own firestick so we wouldn't have to sign into or out of anything. Quick and easy process to watch our shows. This cottage is great. Highly recommend it. We will be back!

Great Times
Very nice place! It was easy to communicate with owner and check in process was breezy. Area is very nice with walking distance to a lake and a short drive to the Lee outlets. We spent most of our time out canoeing with the life jackets, canoe and paddle required. House is rustic but a perfect place to get away and enjoy the outdoors.

We’ve stayed at the cabin with our dog four times and always enjoy our peaceful stay. It’s cozy, clean and private. Also, the Sherwood Shoppe - just down the road - is a wonderful place for breakfast, homemade chili and much more.

Beautiful Sherwood Forest
This was a much needed 2 day escape from life. When I say it was isolated, it was really isolated. So far away from everything it was the quietest place I have ever been to! The roads there are horrendous but that had nothing to do with the cottage. It was the best equipped I have ever seen. We brought our own food but the fridge and pantry were extremely well stocked. It was clean and comfortable. Although the queen bed could use a softer mattress. We had no complaints whatsoever! The welcoming bottle of wine was a lovely touch 💕 thanks to the owner for allowing us to stay in her lovely quaint home. It was the break we needed.

It will be exactly what you're loooking for!
We rented the cottage for a month! It feels exactly like you want a "camp" cottage to feel. lots of wood, cozy, VERY clean! Modern amenities too, like a very quiet "mini split" heat/ac system. VERY quiet dirt road. Short walk down to the lake. Super private. Unbelievably great water pressure in the shower too LOL! Close drive to some local restaurants and only 15 minutes to a Big Y grocery store. You will love it!

Sweet getaway
Our stay was perfect. Easy check in, wonderful location and oh the charm! We were looking for a quiet, peaceful place in the woods by a lake and that’s what we got. Our host Djuna left easy instructions and a bottle of wine! The forests were fun to explore, the people in the town are so nice and friendly, all around this is a great place to relax.

About the host

Hosted by Djuna Perkins

Host profile image
I am a lawyer living near Boston with my husband and three children, but I grew up in Woodstock, New York and attended college in western Massachusetts.

Why they chose this property

Living and working in the city, I missed the country and thought the best way to teach my kids to care for the earth was to make sure they had a place where they could actually see and appreciate the natural world, and where we could all get away from the madness of the electronic world.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is an incredibly restful place. From the breeze on the screened porch to the unbelievable stars and the air at night, to the simplicity of its furnishings, it is just the place to get away from it all and remember who you are.
