Overview
2 bedrooms, 1 bath, sleeps 6 plus pull out couch (8 max)
The cottage is located in the Berkshires on a quiet winding road. Majority of cottages are owner occupied. Therefore you get the privacy & relaxation without the crowds. All the Berkshire attractions are within a scenic drive. Endless activities for the entire family. Something for everyone. The lake is high in minerals which leaves your hair & skin feeling silky smooth. The lake does not show up on tourist maps, so you have private enjoyment.I love waking up in the morning, with my cup of coffee & going around lake in the morning dew. Beaver, Otters, Birds, and Fish greet you along your way. Then take a sunset cruise before BBQ on the deck & gathering around the fire pit.The cottage has electric heat & wood burning fireplace so it can be enjoyed year round. The cottage is fully equipped with all modern conveniences. I can assure you, your entire family will create some wonderful memories here. You will be back again & again. It's convenient, private, a guaranteed Berkshire experience. Jacobs Pillow up the mountain, only 8 minute ride.

Why Scott Jeffers chose Berkshires
I fell in love with the Berkshires. The lake is cristal clear and I enjoy sailing, swimming, fishing, Kayaking, and more... There is something very special about the area and no matter what the weather, there is always something to do.
What makes this cottage unique
You are close to all the Berkshires attractions yet you are slightly off the tourest area. Most homes are owner occupied therefore the lake is never crowded. You can truly relax and enjoy the water.

Great place to relax fish and enjoy
Enjoyed the cottage ,had everything plus
Scott is a great guy
A Great Vacation
From the minute Scott met us to check in, we knew it would be a great week. Our kids loved it, Jack went fishing everyday and Jamie was able to relax before beginning her summer job. The town was so quaint, we loved the country store and had such fun at the Quarry. Thank you Scott for checking in with us during the week to make sure everything was okay!
Peaceful getaway
The setting is very pretty and a nice quiet place to relax. I especially loved enjoying a morning cup of coffee on the dock, listening to the birds. Scott was very accommodating and helpful. This is a good central location for family to meet up. Hope to be able to gather here again next year!
Cozy and fully stocked - centrally located
We had so much fun at the Jeffer's cabin in the Berkshires. It is centrally located to all the nearby attractions. We enjoyed the fire pit, the 1 minute walk to the lake and the comfy beds. The kids especially liked using the small pool table and made use of the DVD library. Also close to a nice outlet mall. Scott was very accommodating and helpful. We would recommend this place if you're looking for a cozy place to get away with your family!
Extremely cozy and wonderful host
My group had a wonderful weekend at the Jeffers Cottage! Scott met with us when we first arrived to show us the house and how everything worked as well answer any questions we had! We went in the fall and with the neighborhood being mostly summer homes we had the whole place to ourselves! The house is fully equipped with everything you need. No Wifi but we wanted a weekend off the grid. A 2 minute walk to the lake in Scott's pictures. Scott was easy to contact for anything we needed and gave us lots of info of things to do in the area (The Quarry hike was awesome!) Overall a beautiful weekend in the Berkshires!!!
perfect getaway
Scott was a wonderful host. He was very communicative leading up to our stay and made sure that everything was all set for us. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We also enjoyed taking out the "row boat," grilling, the tikki torches, and of course the campfire!
