Everything from the coziness of the home, all the little details inside (cookie mix and supplies available in kitchen, eye masks in bedroom, laundry pods, etc), and the amazing communication of the host. Fantastic space for our stay to visit family in Agawam/Southwick area during the Christmas holiday. Thank you!!!

Our first time at this house. Previously I had stayed at Linnys Southwick cottage. Both excellent places! Super clean and comfortable. Deluxe bed linens and modern amenities. We enjoyed walking to the lake and having a nice fire in the outdoor fireplace. We even played with the games in the game room.
Low carb treats!
The fire was so nice and kept mosquitoes away.

Great vacation home

We had a wonderful few days at the house, it was just as described. The kitchen had all we needed. The lake is a quick walk down the hill. The frozen lake and snow was an added plus for us Floridians. Our two boys really enjoyed using the sleds and playing in the snows. We definitely recommend this home and if we ever make it back to Connecticut we would definitely book again!

Cool breeze lake home

Had a great stay in this comfortable and well appointed home near the lake. The short trail walk to the lake is a great discovery. We used the kitchen a lot and the bar height table works well for meals as well as several great spaces outside. Lilacs and irises were blooming while we were there - lovely when we had a couple of family members come over for drinks outside. Also enjoyed the game table and great TV setup in the evening. The lake community is friendly and there are some unique finds for food, eat-in and takeout, that are close by. We made the right choice for our stay and would love to come again!

About the host

Hosted by Linny Tucker

Host profile image
We’re a local family from Western Massachusetts who loves spending time by the lake, exploring the outdoors, and creating spaces where people can relax and reconnect. Hosting gives us the chance to share the charm of this area and help others make great memories—just like we have over the years.

Why they chose this property

What we love most about the neighborhood is its peaceful, laid-back feel—tucked away yet close to everything. Scenic farm fields, rolling hills, and nearby mountains wrap around the area, all meeting the edge of the lake. Whether it’s a quiet walk to the water, watching the sunset, or just soaking in the views, it’s the perfect blend of nature and community.

What makes this property unique

Our home offers a rare blend of lakeside relaxation and farm-side charm. Fully refurbished with comfort in mind, it sits peacefully between the sparkling shores of Congamond Lake and scenic tobacco fields. Whether you're sipping coffee on the patio, strolling to the private dock, or soaking in the quiet surroundings, it’s a one-of-a-kind retreat that brings together the best of nature and comfort.
