Nice, clean, well-appointed home, responsive host, tricky location
First trip to the Berkshires and we wanted a spot with easy lake access as well as good access to many towns. This house had that, you just can’t walk anywhere from the house, or take a walk bc of the road it is on. It is clean and well-appointed. Mattress in one bedroom is a bit wobbly, but other beds comfortable. So great to be able to bring dogs. It is not directly on a lake(have to cross the road), but does have easy access that is a 5 minute walk to a sweet little private beach with nice neighbors. The kayak, canoe and paddle board in the shed across the street are great amenities! The house is on a very busy road with constant traffic - including 18 wheelers. It makes it hard to sit outside and enjoy the trees, lake and nature. Kevin is a responsive host.

Waterfront house across a busy road
I must say I have mixed impression from our stay in the house. The house maintenance is impeccable. Everything is updated, working, sparkling clean and has the exact amount of kitchenware, spices, etc to make a dinner. Feels good to be inside. (The grill needs to be cleaned to produce a stronger flame). We also used a canoe on the lake, and it was perfect. The description of the property slightly deviates from the actual set up, however. After reading it, it is hard to imagine a highway (rt 8) with 18-wheelers passing by at 50mph between the house and the dock every 5 minutes. At least we were not prepared for that. Probably a more accurate description would prepare us better.

Perfect Get Away
I spent a delightful week at this adorable lake house. Our host, Kevin, could not have been more helpful. Check-in was a breeze and he was very responsive to texts whenever I had a question. The house is as presented and very comfortable and attractive. We love to cook, and the kitchen was well appointed. I was worried one would not be able to see Shaw Pond when the trees are in leaf, but there was a spectacular view! And we had a chance to take the (on site) Canoe for a spin. Very convenient to Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival!!! One caveat - do not put the address in google! Follow Kevin's directions. The house is right off route 8. The driveway is a little dicey as it has suffered from rain storms, no doubt. But nice to be able to park in a garage. Thanks Kevin and Jodi! I can hardly wait to come back!!!

Cute updated home with lake access
Had a lovely time at this lake house. The lake access was a plus and the house was well stocked with water accessories and food items. Otis is a short distance from Lee and Lenox providing easy Berkshire access. Having a garage to park the car in was also nice. The only downside is the relatively poor condition of the driveway / shared road the house is on. The neighborhood is made up of single lane dirt roads that have suffered from some wet weather. All in all would definitely recommend.
