Dear Arthur, As former campers and counselors of Camp Watitoh on Route 8, we couldn't believe the great location of this house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return when we next visit Becket. It was a pleasure renting your house, the process was painless and the place exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Emily, Laura, Alix, Laura, and Alena

We loved your beautiful house. We went boating on the reservoir nearby and saw many beaver houses and two blue herons. We had wonderful ping pong doubles tournaments. We felt extremely cozy and will definitely be returning for a longer stay in the future... We enjoyed eating several meals on the deck. We used the gas grill for hotdogs and it worked very well. Your close down directions and tips were all very helpful and appreciated. Thanks again. Yours, Daniela and Rafael

Our family had a wonderful vacation in Becket! The babbling brook was all dried up but we did get to see 2 porcupines climbing up a tree right off the deck! The bungalow is very comfortable and homey. It is a wonderful place to unwind and visit all that the Berkshires has to offer. We visited many area museums and the men of the family did lots of fishing. Thank you!
