About Amy Thompson
We bought our lake house as a retreat for us and our family and friends, many of whom live in nearby Boston, New York and Hartford. It's a great gathering spot and we made many lasting memories in this special spot.
Amy Thompson purchased this House in 2012
Why Amy Thompson chose North Egremont
We've always loved vacationing in the Berkshires, with its cultural attractions, natural beauty and varied recreational activities.
What makes this House unique
The best parts: the lake just steps from the door, lunch on the screened in porch, beautiful views, the family of ducklings gliding by early in the morning, snowy walks on bright winter mornings.

I would stay there again in a heartbeat
The house was great. It's on a quiet road and the only sounds we heard were those of ducks and other water fowl as they flew over the lake. Amy was very attentive and sent us emails to check in on us and make sure that every thing was going well.
We didn't make much use of the screened-in porch, but I imagine that it would be a great place to dine (or just relax) on a warm summer night.
The house is only about 15 minutes from the center of Great Barrington, so shopping was no problem.
I would definitely stay there again.
Shannon's group seemed to really enjoyed the lake house and left everything in immaculate condition. They were very laid back and I appreciated their responsiveness and communications about their activities. We would welcome them back anytime.
Lovely!
The lake house is just as beautiful in November as in August.
We enjoyed our stay at this house.
The house is very well laid out and furnished. The screen porch was a wonderful place for meals. The weather was pretty hot during the week we were there, but the house remained comfortable.
It has a lovely situation on Prospect Lake with wooded lots on each side for privacy. The lake was quite high during our stay, so there was no beach. We found Lake Mansfield in Great Barrington to be the nice sandy beach we were looking for.
We had a 9 month old baby with us, and we were very pleased to find not only a port-a-crib but a playpen. Our baby had never been in a playpen, and she was delighted with it. Otherwise we would have been spending way too much time keeping her safe from the stairway.
The reason I am giving this nice property 4 stars instead of 5 is that the well water had an unpleasant odor. The owner did address this and after a treatment of water softener it was much better. Amy, the owner, was very available and responsive to our calls.
I would recommend this property to families.
I'm so sorry that Linda's family had an unpleasant experience with our well water. Occasionally, it's not for everyone's taste! And I did offer to reimburse her family members for purchasing drinking water. As of Sept 11, our well water experts are scheduled to come to the house to help better remedy the situation. Stay tuned!
Quiet lakefront house accessible to Berkshire activities
This is a comfortable lakeside home. Some amenities we appreciated include: canoe, screened in porch with dining table,washer and dryer, basic supplies provided. The house offers a quiet respite in the country, away from the crowds of Lenox and Stockbridge but still easily accessible.
Amy is a responsible and responsive host. She was in regular communication with us to ensure that we had a good vacation.
We really enjoyed having Nancy, Mark and their friends at the lake house. They stayed in touch with us, were flexible when our workperson needed to stop by to check on a couple of things and, most importantly, they seemed to have a great time taking advantage of the beautiful Berkshires! They even texted me from their symphony date at Tanglewood to report a fantastic concert experience and beautiful weather.
Peaceful Lakefront Experience
Had a great stay. House right on lake. Did alkt of fly fushing off the private floating deck. Nice firepit. Spacious home. Easy to canoe and swim right there. Great hiking and of course loved Tanglewood. Host excellent customer service. Will return.
Great week in the Berkshires
Lovely charming house with all the comforts of home plus a lake! Amy, out host was great! Hope to return next summer
It was a pleasure to have Susan and her family stay at our place. They took full advantage of all our amenities, including even our bicycles, and were in touch throughout their stay to let us know how things were going. They were quite familiar with all the Berkshires has to offer so we are honored that they want to return with more family members next summer!
