This bungalow is ideal as a getaway, as a warm home to rest and refuel in front of a fire after snowshoeing or skiing, as a home in which to relax after invigorating outdoor activities, as a retreat setting for contemplation or writing, or as a place to reflect after attending a stimulating Tanglewood concert or dance performance at Jacob’s Pillow or a visit in the surrounding area to other exciting cultural activities.

It's just four hours from Montreal and Burlington; two-and-one-half from New York City and Northern New Jersey; two from Boston, New Haven, and Greenwich; and one from Northampton, Amherst, and Springfield.

                        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!
