Very responsive and they helped immediately resolve a problem with a low battery beeping smoke detector that was out of reach. Highly recommend the property for large gatherings. We had 6 adults and 7 children and there was plenty of room.

Above and Beyond

We recently stayed at this rental home, and it far exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed the space was. The house had everything we needed and more, with every little detail taken care of—from cozy furnishings to a fully stocked kitchen. The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They truly went above and beyond, making this one of the best rental experiences we've ever had.

Great home base for ski weekend

We booked this house for our extended family's trip to Jiminy Peak for a long weekend. It wound up being a GREAT home base. The house is really recently renovated, extremely comfortable, very well stocked, and its location on the lake creates some incredible views! The best thing for us was that the sleeping area is a bit separated from the rest of the house, so it's easy for adults to be up later while kids are in bed, or kids to be up early and some folks to still be sleeping in. We were happy on all fronts, and are all excited to come back and rent this house again!

Friends (with families) Get-away

The communication from Raphael was incredible from the start. He quickly answered questions as we planned our trip and when it got closer, sent specific details about what we should bring/expect from the property (including what kind of coffee maker!). The house was beautiful, included fun activities from pool to games to small details like chargers. The outdoor area was perfect for grilling, roasting marshmallows, and yard games. We kayaked, SUP'ed, swam and enjoyed the lake. We will definitely look to come back!

Berkshire Vacation

Wow! We have had great luck with rentals in the past, but Casa Do Lago, and it’s owners, are at the top of our favorites list! The home is fabulous - spacious, well stocked, comfortable, and clean. The location is gorgeous - on the water, mountain view’s and easy to get to restaurants and museums. The owners couldn’t have been more welcoming or responsive. I hated bothering them, but with each question they responded quickly and with welcome remarks. We would love to come back! I know I’ll have to book early because any of my siblings who saw “our house” fell in love with it too!

Beautifully Appointed

We were absolutely thrilled with our stay at the Ridge House. It is a newly renovated home and the views of Pontoosuc Lake are serene and peaceful. The Ridge House is in a quiet neighborhood close enough to nearby attractions and local stores. The Ridge House was neat, clean and had all that we needed for our stay on the property (kitchen equipment as well as laundry detergent for the inevitable load of laundry that needs to get done as well as toiletries in case something was forgotten). Thanks John and Mike for making our trip to the Berkshires a wonderful one! We will definitely be back!

Amazing house, location and experience!

We wanted a girls trip and this beautiful home was perfect! Exceeded our expectations really. The owner was very responsive and accommodating - best owner I’ve dealt with on all my VRBO trips. The house was gorgeous! Newly renovated, well stocked, very spacious and nicely decorated. Located right on the lake front. Small towns were close by to explore. My only suggestion would be for directions on how to work their fancy new shower with the multiple water jets. Lol. You can’t go wrong with this rental. We definitely plan to go back!

Beautiful lakefront home

Spectacular in every way! The pictures don’t show all so it was a very pleasant surprise to learn just how much space this house offered the 10 of us gather together (both dining room and deck tables sat 10) or to spread apart. We spent our days at the lake, kayaking, fishing and swimming. (There were plenty of kayaks and SUPs.) At night we gathered in the finished basement for a shuffleboard tournament, at the large fire pit on the patio, or played games upstairs. While there's an abundance of outdoor seating areas on the deck and patio, we are glad to have brought our own camp chairs to use lakeside as there is no seating there. (Not a complaint, just a tip for anyone planning to stay.) The only area we think that could be improved upon is to add an umbrella for some shade on the deck so it can be enjoyed during the day. This house was very clean and well-appointed and Raphael was very responsive to any questions we had, both pre-visit and during. We will go back!

The perfect weekend to end the summer

My family and I rented this house for the weekend and had a fun and relaxing time to close out the summer. The house was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with all the cooking equipment we needed. The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet....no regrets at all in deciding to stay here. The owners were very responsive, answered all of our questions and gave us plenty of great recommendations for food in the area. The amenities in the house were perfect for everyone in the family, during the day we relaxed on the deck and took the kayaks out into the lake. At night some chose to stay out near the fire pit on the deck, while others were inside watching TV and getting a kick out of using the Alexa device. Definitely would come back again next summer and considering it for a mid-winter get-a-way!

Ideal Lakefront Getaway

We recently returned from our stay at Ridge House, and I'm happy to say it was the perfect lakefront retreat to celebrate my parents' anniversary. They'd wanted a place the family could relax and have fun, create spectacular meals and enjoy each other's company, and this home and it's owners created an ideal setting for that. With a picturesque view one could gaze at until sunset, and plenty of fun lake activities to keep adventure seekers entertained, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and made lasting memories. The house was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. The kitchen has the tools you need and no lingering leftover items from previous guests, so while you have to stock the kitchen with each spice and condiment you'll need for meals, we felt it more hygenic than using a strangers leftovers. (We'd brought a selection from home anyway, so it didn't cost us much to get what we needed.) It's on a quiet street, and the beds are quite comfortable, so everyone slept well, which is so important when there are small children to chase after the next day. Additionally, the house is very centrally located, so excursions to popular attractions like Tanglewood entailed very little time in the car. The owners are exceptionally attentive and kind. When we had a misunderstanding early on with a neighbor, the owners were quick to offer solutions and the issue was immediately remedied. (Also, the neighbors are lovely, and took care of the problem before we ever mentioned it.) We would return tomorrow if we could get the time away, and I imagine it won't be long before we make our way back to Ridge House, if it's available. I would highly recommend it for families seeking a central Berkshire location, and a fun or relaxing lakefront vacation.

Ridge House family vacation

We had a fabulous family vacation at the Ridge House despite the weather. We had 9 adults and 3 children. The house accommodated us all. The house had all the amenities of home and then some. We loved the big tables, inside and on the deck, that we could all sit around to eat. The deck was a great plus. The kayaks and stand-up paddle boards were a great hit for everyone. The kids loved to jump off the dock. Our stay at the Ridge House was very memorable.

Amazing home, beautiful views!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Ridge House! I took my family (husband & 19 month old), my mom and my sister's family (husband & 2 1/2 year old) with us on this trip. We had an amazing time! The house is very clean and updated. There was plenty of room for everyone (sleeping, sitting on the couch, eating inside and out) and we weren't on top of each other. The pictures are a true representation of what you will find in the house! Not like a hotel that hasn't updated images in years and you're disappointed when you arrive. When we arrived we were in awe of the view! I was even more excited when I saw a walk in option to the lake as well as the ladder off the dock. Our little guys were able to stand or sit on the steps before we took them into the lake. We were so surprised to find a welcome card and bottle of wine from the homeowners waiting for us! The fire pit was perfect for evenings after the kids went to bed and so easy to use. I wish we were still on vacation and was sad to leave. Thank you Raphael & Chelsea, your home is lovely and we are strongly considering staying again next summer!

Lovely get away in the mountains, lakeside!

Beautiful setting with lake Pontoosuc at the bottom of the backyard hill. Lots to do right there at the house, well stocked with games and kitchen supplies. Important when you have a 3 week old in addition to the rest of the family! For us the weather turned out perfect, making the vacation the best one in memory. “ this is the best house yet! “ according to to my two children and 4 grandchildren. My husband loved sitting by the lake and relaxing, I loved the kayaks and paddle boards. Something for everyone.

The owners responded quickly to all of our questions and were so accomodating. The view and location is incredible. With only a 10 minute drive to Jiminy Peak, it’s a perfect winter getaway.

Fantastic Winter Break Stay!

Just returned from a fantastic stay at the Ridge House! 9 of us (4 adults & 5 kiddos) stayed at the Ridge House for 4 nights. We arrived to a spotless and sweetly decorated home. We skied at nearby Jiminy Peak, which was about 15/20 min away. We made dinner every night and found the kitchen to be very well appointed. The lake views were fantastic and the house was warm and cozy. The owners responded promptly to any questions we had. We are considering renting again next year and highly recommend this house for an easy and relaxing get away.
