Lake is natural, pure and lovely to look at (but not good for swimming due to natural vegetation). Canoeing, fishing and kayaking are great. Your own dock and 150 feet on the lake. Kayaks and canoe. Ping pong table! Electric bikes available to rent. Dog walkers available!!

Very convenient for Berkshire School and Hotchkiss parents.
Also convenient for nearby Litchfield County, Conn, including Music Mountain events, plus Lime Rock Park racing.
Further west, Hudson, NY, is fun to explore, along with houses like Olana, built by Frederic Church of the Hudson River School.

Summary: We had a great stay in the house. It was, sadly, too cold to enjoy the nearby lake, but the house itself was wonderful. Having spacious bedrooms and an entire kitchen made our trip much easier, and the house is very convenient for the ski slope we visited.Thanks!

Summary: We were up for a long fall weekend and found this gem. When I say there was nothing I wish had I mean it. I cooked many meals and had every utensil and cookware pan I needed, there was so many books to choose from to sit and read on the back porch, even shampoo and conditioner which is rare. Plenty of blankets and pillows and comfortable beds. The views of the pond were picturesque with the colors of fall. We sat by the fire pit in the evening and ate dinner around the table at night. Plenty of things to do within an hour and also just stay and relax. The host was very responsive and accommodating and even had the Pyrex dish I had inquired about ready on the oven. We will be returning!!!

Summary: We enjoyed our time by the lake in Sheffield. Our neighborhood was quiet, and the lack of traffic allowed for many walks on the road. We kayaked in the lake, and had a short drive into Great Barrington for meals and hikes. We are looking forward to returning next year. Thank you again, Gillian!

Summary: Peaceful locale on a pond with eagles, ducks, turtles and frogs. Many places to relax, whether it be on the dock with morning coffee, on the screened porch reading a good book, or in a canoe floating on the water. Great hikes and things to see in town. Would definitely return. And the host is lovely and very communicative. Great trip!

Summary: The property is something I dream of having myself one day. Tranquil, private, quiet, lush are some of the words I could describe the outside of the property. The house itself is very charming, super clean and though not new, it provides all the comforts of a new home- dishwasher , ACs, washer and dryer, Roku, WiFi. The beds and beddings are comfortable. The decors are classic with old charm, which is just my taste. Overall, I’m happy to recommend this lake house.
