My second time renting the house this summer. Conveniently located with a spacious porch, nice lawn and views of the lake. Lovely place that feels like home. The well-appointed property (the owner seems to have thought of everything!), comfortable layout, and immaculate rooms are so inviting. The owner is helpful and responsive. I look forward to staying here again next summer.

Biking in the Berkshires

Amazing home that was exactly as the listing description. Kitchen had ample cookware, utensils, and dishes to cook full meals. Comfortable beds with updated baths were perfect for our family. Darcy was gracious and responsive when we requested access to the kayaks. Fresh flowers made it feel like a 5 star hotel!

Perfect in every way. This was our 2nd stay at Darcy’s beautiful and extremely clean and comfortable home. Check in was easy, communication with the host was always prompt, and Darcy has prepared an informative guide to the property and to the Berkshire area. The neighborhood is walkable, quiet and relaxing and is conveniently located to endless activities. Thank you, Darcy. We love your home and hope to be able to return soon.

Keurig to French Press

The house was spotless and beautifully decorated; well stocked w anything you might need during a vacation; easy access to markets, cultural sites, recreation options plus a covered porch w comfy chairs; and a hot tub! The hosts are readily available, welcoming, friendly, caring and professional. When in the area, this would be a happy and risk/stress free VRBO choice.

About the host

Hosted by Darcy Reid

Host profile image
My name is Darcy and welcome to our beautiful Ranch with lakeviews! I hope you find the home comfortable and equipped with everything you'll need to enjoy your stay! I've lived in the Berkshires y whole life and am happy to share this slice of heaven with you! Enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

This charming new Ranch home was originally a small cottage on piers with more rot and neglect than you could ever imagine. After determining it to be a total loss we tore it down and began the build of the current home. Overlooking beautiful Pontoosuc Lake, we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the view!

What makes this property unique

Centrally located between Charming Lenox & Tanglewood, and the always fun Mass MoCa in North Adams. Just minutes from Jiminy Peak Ski Area and the newly refurbished Bousquet Mountain. Something for everyone!
