Lakefront Berkshires Retreat w/ Deck, Dock & Boat!

Leave your busy schedule behind for a life of leisure at this vacation rental hideaway. This rustic 4-bed, 2-bath home is complete with woodsy-style decor, contemporary furnishings, and space for 10. It's truly a sportsman's paradise - tucked away in the woods on Round Pond, where you can hike, fish, swim, boat, or admire it all from the deck and dock. Whether you're here for summers at the Symphony, winters on Ski Butternut, or leaf peeping in the fall, Great Barrington has it all.

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Full Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Full Bed | Bedroom 4 (Loft): Twin Bed with Twin Pullout (Can be converted into a King), Full Bed

You'll find this rustic property hidden away in a semi-remote, wooded area, with very few neighbors nearby. Mornings here offer incredible views and quiet surroundings - best enjoyed with a warm cup of coffee on the deck.

This property is located right on Round Pond. With crystal clear water untouched by busy beaches or motor boats, this lake is ideal for swimming and fishing! Take a dip off the dock, or venture out on the rowboat provided.

After a day on the lake, head inside to enjoy some downtime. The living room is complete with cathedral ceilings, floor-to-ceiling views, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, altogether creating the perfect place to unwind.

End the day with a hearty meal made in the fully-equipped kitchen. Follow dinner with a sweet treat of s'mores by the outdoor fire pit!

When you're ready to retire for the night, 4 bedrooms offer space for up to 10 guests.

-- THE LOCATION --

Named as the #1 best place to live by Smithsonian Magazine, Great Barrington is a small-but-mighty town brimming with activities and charm.

Take some time to tour the Berkshires. Within 15 minutes you'll be able to hike across Monument Mountain, shop and dine in Great Barrington, stop by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, or test your winning streak at the Springfield Casino just 40 minutes away.

The famous Tanglewood lies just 10 miles away. Since 1937, Tanglewood has served as the summer home for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Concerts here will take your breath away!

The Berkshires turn into a winter wonderland when the snow falls. You'll find multiple mountains within 10 minutes of the property, including Ski Butternut and Catamount Ski Area, with Bousquet Ski Area, Jiminy Peak, and more just a short drive further!

No Review
I don’t want to publish review, but I really think the owners should let people know that two of thee bedrooms are in the basement and one has no windows. Also a big issue is the firing range next door. Gunshots every day and a poor dead bird on deck. Afraid to go outside!!!

Do not go here
If you really and I mean really like a get-away spot that has a musty smell, mold, cobwebs and a roof that leaks then this is the place for you. The pictures do not accurately reflect the home or the lake. The home is dark, the bath tubs are filthy. The place was booked for 6 adults and we were provided towels for four. There were no kitchen towels. The path to the dock appears to be dangerous and the dock is not sturdy. The lake is over grown and stagnant.

Wondrful family get away
This house was the perfect get away house for out family! The place was clean and the kitchen well stocked! We had wonderful large family dinners and enjoyed heading into town for meals and fun too. We had the best hikes with are wonderful dog that we got to include, it was a very special week. Great location and the most peaceful and amazing views from the deck and the dock. Would stay here again for sure! Thank you for sharing your home.

Dirty and unsafe
The house was very dirty and unsafe. The electrical outlets are over taxed. The back screen door doesn’t close all the way so the bugs get in. There is a hole in the front screen door as well so it was hard to ventilate the house. The house smells damp and is covered up with air fresheners. The wall behind the fireplace leaks when it rains and so does the bathroom wall. They said it was small drips, but this was puddles. The glasses were dirty and had to be washed. Cobwebs everywhere. Outdoor table and chairs were dirty and rusty with holes in the metal trim. I can’t even get into the condition of the dock and steps leading down to it. . Life preservers we’re all moldy so we didn’t want to use them. We are pretty easy going and I thought the past renters were over exaggerating, but unfortunately they were not. We didn’t bother calling the housekeeper back because we didn’t want to lose a day of our vacation for someone to properly clean the house. I understand construction type work takes time to schedule, but cleaning the house should be very straight forward especially since there have been so many complaints about it being dirty. The only positive things I can say is that the location is great and there was plenty of sundries if you forgot something.

Should be condemned.
The listing pictures are very misleading. This house is in a beautiful spot, but the house itself is in really rough shape. It rained while we were there and water was running down the walls and ceiling. There is severe water damage everywhere because of this. On top of that there is black mold throughout the house and we had to cut our stay short because of the air quality. The back deck is on the brink of collapse and the dock was underwater and rotting. Some of the doors and windows wouldn’t seal so we also had a bug issue. Additionally there were some soft spots in the floor (probably from water damage) where someone heavy enough could easily break through. We planned this weekend 8 months in advance and our trip was ruined by the condition of this house. I would not recommend renting this house.

Great Fishing Spot
Enjoyed a few days “glamping” with my son and husband. The pond was beautiful and a great fishing spot. The owner was very responsive.

Pleasant Stay and Great Location
I stayed with a group of friends for a weekend while we skied nearby Ski Butternut mountain. The home was exactly as described and we had a very nice stay. It was warm upon entry (important after a day of skiing) and had everything we needed. The location, both on the pond and close to everything in Great Barrington, was great.

Guys fishing weekend
Beautiful setting, cool kind of old school rustic feel. Perfect for 6 guys away fishing for a nice break. I would bring the family here as well. Just don't expect modern, perfct interior. For the price, can't beat it! Easy of the highway location. The pictures and description were definitely accurate. Hope to go back soon!

Worst vacation experience ever!
Extremely dirty and dangerous. Booked it for a week to spend doing lake activities at end of summer. Dock is sinking, dock furniture rotted, stairs to water need new railing. Inside house was so dirty. Cobwebs. Musty smell in all rooms. Stained showers. Washer was broken with standing water in it with no notice ahead of time. We left after 18 hours when we booked 5 days. Wasted our one family get away for the summer! Filed grievance and property management company was easy to work with and after seeing the pictures and video they requested gave me immediate refund before we even left the property. However, we are still out hundreds on the VRBO service fee. After filing insurance claim with VRBO I still have not heard back for 3 months. All around this has been so bad it will be a long time before i consider using a rental like this.
