No cable TV, but large TV monitor and blue ray DVD player. High-speed internet. NOTE: the homeowner's association along the road has very strict quiet policy after 10 PM so this cottage WILL NOT be a good choice if abiding by this policy will be a problem.

Clean, clear lake great for swimming. Cottage has 3 kayaks and one 2-person canoe. Great fishing . Motorboats permitted. However, very quiet, peaceful lake. Cottage is east facing. Warm, sunny breakfasts on the deck.

SURROUNDING AREA
Becket is located in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts close to great hiking (including Appalachian Trail), antiquing , outlet shopping (Lee), theatre (Stockbridge, Pittsfield), dance (Jacobs Pillow), music (Tanglewood), museums (Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Clark Institute in Williamstown).

This is my third time at Jim’s cottage and each visit has been extraordinary. He has literally thought of everything you might need to take full advantage of the beautiful Lakeside location. I plan to return as often as I can.

amazing place

the cottage on the water was perfect for some quiet r&r. the host goes above and beyond - provided paper products, coffee and many other products that were not expected. loved kayaking the pristine pond - caught my first pickerel and some very hefty bass. Our stay could not have gone better. will definitely be returning

Adorable cottage in beautiful setting

We loved the little cottage; it is so well furnished with everything you need. My teenager loved his tiny bedroom and I loved how there were enough hooks and storage places for all your things. The landscaping is very nice and there is enough privacy from neighbors. It was great to have access to boats with life jackets, etc. We hope to return! Because I didn’t recognize the front view of the house from the photos, I’m including one here. So cute.

Great cottage on a pond

We really enjoyed the cottage and the surrounding areas. The cottage was decorated beautifully. The views of the pond were spectacular. We really enjoyed fishing from the dock. Caught and released speckled perch, pickerel, yellow perch and largemouth bass. The accommodations were great. The flowers and wine were a great touch.

Lovely home on a peaceful lake

We had a lovely time at Jim's home, which sits right on this lake and is also near lots of great hiking. Small smallmouth bass and pickerel are easily caught from Jim's dock and even more easily when fishing from Jim's canoe. There may be bigger fish in there, but I can only attest to the plentifulness of the 12-inch smallmouths and pickerel. Jim communicates quickly and clearly, and we would love to come back.

Perfect Birthday Getaway

My husband and I rented this charming house on a lake for 3 nights. When we opened the door we were so happy to see that the pictures on the website (which were great) did not begin to do it justice. The interior is cheerful, clean and very well appointed. Brightly colored fabrics on chairs and the couch and wonderful, warm touches throughout the house . But the view from the house and the 2 decks is what took our breath away. The lake is right there…it is peaceful and beautiful. We were able to relax and take in the calm of being on the water. And we were able to go kyaking and canoeing on the lake. Our friends who have a house in Otis came for a visit and had a wonderful time too. Thank you Jim and Mary for sharing your home and being so responsive to all our inquiries. We can’t wait to come back. Nancy and Larry

trip to Berkshires to visit friends, golf and relax

The Lake Cottage is wonderful, you literally see the lake from every part of the cottage and the outdoor living/relaxing space is great too, gardens with hummingbirds and hammock too. We did find the stairs from the parking spot to the cottage a bit steep and slippery when wet - there is a railing which is helpful. Great spot highly recommend

Life really is better at the Lake!

This was the perfect little getaway to relax and recharge. The accommodations were perfect, the cottage is cozy, and the surrounding are glorious. From the picture perfect sunrise to the sound of rain drops on the roof, this comfortable Lakehouse stole my heart. Thank you, Jim and Mary, for sharing it with us.
