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.

Nice Rural Retreat

The house was small, cozy and even had a small stream that ran through the backyard and under the deck. It had everything we needed. A bigger TV in the living room but definitely be a big upgrade but that isn't the end of the world. Would stay here again.

Thank you for a pleasant stay!

The cabin is quiet, tidy, and comfortable. It is within driving distance of several hiking trails and was a great place to spend a long weekend. The host was friendly and communicative, and made sure that we had everything we needed for a nice stay.

Modern cabin stay!

We loved our stay! The cabin appears to be recently renovated with modern appliances and furnishings. We got quite a bit of snow during our stay, and someone came to plow the driveway for us. A well-stocked kitchen was also helpful while we were snowed in! The cabin is close to Canterbury Farm, which we loved for cross country skiing, and close to Lee for restaurants and shopping. The host answered our questions quickly!

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.

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.

Sherwood Forest Gem

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.

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.

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.
