About this property

Tranquil Lake House Getaway on Onota Lake

Beautiful lake front house on 1.7 wooded acres on a very quiet end of Onota Lake. A long driveway takes you to this lovely 5 bedroom home equipped with all modern conveniences and comfort. A large lawn rolls to the lake which is on two sides of the house. There are two docks and small beach. Canoe, kayak, fish, and swim right from our docks and beach during the day and spend your evenings at local theater or Tanglewood. If you are out enjoying all the Berkshires have to offer during the day, this is a tranquil property to come back to at the end of the day. You will come home to a glimmering lake perfect for a sunset paddle. The barbecue and fire pit await.

The house is in the middle of the Berkshires and just three miles from the city center yet feels more like a house in the woods. You will not be on top of your neighbors here. The property is wooded, offers privacy, quiet, and some space to stretch out. The darkness and quiet of the location offer you a fine night of sleep and starry skies.
With two canoes, 5 kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard - everyone can choose their own fun whether it’s paddling around the lake, fishing, or drifting along on a floaty in the quiet coves with a good book in hand. There is a playset, lawn games and fire pit when you want to stay ashore. Board games, cable TV, and DVD’s are inside.
The kitchen is well-stocked with all appliances and pots/pans, utensils, etc. Thanksgiving dinners are no problem in this kitchen. There is a fireplace in the living room. The dining room seats 10 comfortably and looks out on and across the lake. There are two bedrooms downstairs; one with two twin beds and the other with three bunks. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one with a king bed and two with queen beds. One of the queen bedrooms has an outdoor balcony and the king room has a sun porch with nice views of the lake. . Down by lake there is a screened in boat house with chairs to relax in.

Perfect Location, Perfect Home

My second stay here did not disappoint--we had enough space for me and 6 friends, the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and essentials. It's located close to town and the rail trail which is gorgeous this time of year. Lake was calm, clean, and beautiful. Will definitely be back.

A lovely home with everything we needed to hang out and centrally located for Berkshires attractions

Our “gals group” had a great time just enjoying the sights and just hanging out on this commodious lake front house. The view was so lovely as we watched crew teams row the lake and leaves turning colors each day.

Winter Family Retreat

The home was more than I expected. It was a beautiful setting, 10 minutes away from Bousquet Mountain. It was very welcoming with nice furnishings, comfortable beds and "decor right up my alley". We are definitely interested in going back again.

Great summer vacation!!!

The house was comfortable, open and airy with lots of windows and the kitchen had everything we needed. Best of all, the lake was beautiful with a wonderful private swimming area. We loved canoeing on the lake as well. Christina couldn’t have been more helpful, if we had any questions or issues, she responded immediately. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home and great host

We really enjoyed our stay. Christina was kind and responsive throughout our stay. The house was great, with ample bedrooms/beds so everyone in our group could have privacy. The house was also great for the two little ones (one and two years old). Beautiful lake and we enjoyed hiking in the Pittsfield State forest and snowboarding at Bousquet Mountain right nearby! Thanks so much!
