A charming little place. We will be back!

A very nice stay. Communication with the host was great. We kept bothering her with questions and she responded quickly. The place is really beautiful. We lit a fire each night and played some of the provided games and watched Netflix. It's an easy drive to Great Barrington to get groceries at the Berkshire coop. We also took advantage of our surroundings and hikes on the AT a little each day. Next time we'll use the host's canoe to explore Lake Buel. The only minor complaint I would have is the bed. We're used to a king at home so sleeping was a little tough. And, it's creaky. But it was very comfortable. Just smaller than we're used to. I highly recommend this VRBO. We'll be back!

Berkshire's Best

We're planning on coming back. Quite tucked away cabin on Lake Buel. Made the stay memorable from the get-go. We came here for a birthday weekend. They bought a delicious chocolate raspberry cake to welcome us. The directions to the property were clear and concise. We had 1 small hiccup forgetting keys in the house after we locked the door. They came by and unlocked it while we were out. Highly recommend this cabin.

Beautiful, cozy getaway

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! There was just enough room to have together time yet also have our separate spaces. The lake side neighborhood was beautiful to walk around and it was wonderful to know we had the option to canoe. Lindsey thoughtfully made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. If I find myself headed back to the Berkshires, I’d stay here again!

Cottage

We had a wonderful weekend staying at the cottage. It is very convenient to Great Barrington and the surrounding area where there is so much to do and explore. Communication with our hosts was excellent and they even left a treat for us as a surprise when we checked in.

About the host

Hosted by Lindsey and Steven

Very nice to meet you! We are New Englanders born and raised and love the outdoors, history, and spending time with friends and family. We love this lake and the community that thrives here and hope you will enjoy it too!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the idea of visitors vacationing here for generations and want to continue the tradition by sharing it with all who seek a lake getaway.

What makes this property unique

When we were looking for property in 2015, we were drawn to this cottage because of its location. The landscape is wild, it’s peaceful and close to the lake. We also love the big open floor plan of the house, but when downtime is needed, you can retreat to the small bedrooms and enclosed porch.
