We were very happy with our stay at the cottage. It is just as it looks in the pictures - beautifully decorated, full of amenities, and in a great location near the water. We were there for four nights and we wish it was longer. Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic

Darcy was excellent host. Her house has everything you could want for a relaxing weekend with friends and family. Great restaurants in Pittsfield. Was planning to take a hike our first day, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We hung out in the hot tub instead! Highly recommend if planning a trip to the area.

Keurig to French Press

The house was spotless and beautifully decorated; well stocked w anything you might need during a vacation; easy access to markets, cultural sites, recreation options plus a covered porch w comfy chairs; and a hot tub! The hosts are readily available, welcoming, friendly, caring and professional. When in the area, this would be a happy and risk/stress free VRBO choice.

Wonderful Property

Darcy's home is a great place to stay. From the tasteful decorations to the hot tub to the fire pit to the cleanliness, etc, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at her home. The home is fully stocked with anything you may need. We appreciated the beach towels for use with the hot tub as well as all the extras that she supplied. Other than food, we did not need to purchase anything for our stay. She had all paper products, coffee pods, soap, shampoo, etc. She even left us two bottles of wine and a beautiful vase of flowers. It's these touches that make this property above the rest. The location is excellent also - very near Mt. Greylock, the Hancock Shaker Village, The Mount and many restaurants. We would definitely stay at Darcy's again.

Comfortable Lake House

We had two couples stay in the house for a long weekend. Even though it's not on the water, it's within easy walking distance. The house is well appointed, the Queen beds are very comfortable, large bathrooms, and the kitchen/family room was a great place to gather. Darcy was very helpful, check-in was easy, and we loved our stay here while attending a family wedding. We did not take advantage of the hot tub as the area was experiencing some really warm days but we did enjoy the firepit and all the available wood in the shed. Our group highly recommends Biggins Diggins for either breakfast or lunch or both. It's a short 2-3 minute drive and well worth it. Loved the house and you won't be disappointed.

Berkshires Getaway

We stayed in Pittsfield to attend a concert in Tanglewood. As we were with another couple, we needed a house with two bedrooms and two baths. The house is new and sparkling clean-really immaculate and adorable. Hot tub is new and was nice and warm. The house sits on a slope, up and across the street and up a few houses from the lake, but an easy walk down the hill and across the road for lake access. Tanglewood was about 25-30 minutes down Rt. 7, and the house is also an easy drive to the quaint towns of the Berkshires. Thank you, Darcy, for all the thoughtful details and the cleanliness of the house!

Bucket list ✅

I’ve always wanted to see James Taylor at Tanglewood and this visit exceeded all expectations! College friends joined us, the concert was wonderful AND this cottage was perfect! It is charming, conveniently located in the midst of the Berkshires, and has everything you could possibly need. Checkin was seamless and clean is an understatement - it was pristine! I particularly enjoyed having French press coffee on the front porch in the morning with the lake peeking through the trees. ~thanks for the memories

Wow!

Darcy was the perfect host. We knew so the moment we walked into her home and saw freshly cut flowers on the table and two bottles of wine to greet us. The home seemed brand new although there were several others who stayed before us. No detail was missed. Every appliance, kitchen tool, coffee, tea plus quality furniture that was also comfy. There’s not enough room on this review to state all the WOWS this VRBO had to offer.

Just Perfect!

Darcey’s home is spotless, beautifully decorated, conveniently located and has everything you need for an easy, stress free stay. The neighborhood is walkable and the people in the area are very friendly. We were busy with the many activities in the vicinity and were not able to enjoy the hot tub or the provided kayaks and bicycles, but we know from friends living in Pittsfield, that Pontoosuc Lake is great for kayaking and other water sports and that there are many places to bike. Darcy's home is one place we wished we could have stayed longer and hope to be able to return to someday. Thank you Darcy. You are an amazing, responsive, and thoughtful host and your home is just stunning!

About the host

Hosted by Darcy Reid

My name is Darcy and welcome to our beautiful Ranch with lakeviews! I hope you find the home comfortable and equipped with everything you'll need to enjoy your stay! I've lived in the Berkshires y whole life and am happy to share this slice of heaven with you! Enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

This charming new Ranch home was originally a small cottage on piers with more rot and neglect than you could ever imagine. After determining it to be a total loss we tore it down and began the build of the current home. Overlooking beautiful Pontoosuc Lake, we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the view!

What makes this property unique

Centrally located between Charming Lenox & Tanglewood, and the always fun Mass MoCa in North Adams. Just minutes from Jiminy Peak Ski Area and the newly refurbished Bousquet Mountain. Something for everyone!
