Holiday rentals with lake access in Franklin County

Kendra's place was pristinely clean and incredibly easy to use. It's an incredibly peaceful, quiet spot and the house is very comfortable, so we had a very relaxing stay. My son goes to school about a half hour away and we rented the place so he could have quiet time to rest and study for exams in a cozy, comfy, homey atmosphere and that is just what we got! The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook everything we wanted. We didn't get a chance to use the grill, but it looked great. Kendra was very responsive and communicative and our stay was totally issue-free so we didn't really need to be in close contact through our stay. The house sleeps lots of people and it could be a fun spot for a big family to have some great family-time or a group of friends to catch up. We would definitely return when we have more time to explore the pretty lake nearby and the surrounding area! Thanks Kendra!

Beautiful home and scenic surroundings. Picturesque view or the water from every part or the cottage. Open kitchen, living and dining area with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Deck was great for family dining and dock allowed for easy fishing and swimming. Without ac you will want extra fans if the weather is expected to be hot/ humid.

I love Airbnbs where you meet the host(s) and learn something about their life and their town. Jill welcomed us into her very New England house with wooden doors, old-fashioned wallpaper, eclectic furniture, and a recently remodeled bathroom. North Hadley's peaceful and beautiful, especially with spring flowers blooming and birds chattering right outside the window. I would be happy to stay there again.

Great host communication, clean space that was well equipped. We enjoyed the easy walk to a local park. Some road noise, but wasn’t too disruptive.

This place is a gem! I was looking for an area in a quiet area and this Airbnb was the perfect little nook to crash in. The bed was SO comfy and the Host was very friendly and responsive! She had a wonderful assortment of teas and fresh eggs that you can cook with. I went kayaking in the lake close to their home and it was so beautiful out there. I would say this is the perfect room for someone looking for a quiet nook in the woods!!

Ava was welcoming and flexible even when our check-in plans changed at the last minute. The space was just as described and very cozy. Ava recommended fantastic local restaurants and other things to do. Would stay again!

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The place was cozy, well-equipped, and perfect for our group. The kids loved the games and toys, and the fireplace made for a great place to relax after skiing. The location, just 15 minutes from Berkshire East, was ideal. That said, winter travelers should be prepared for challenging road conditions. It snowed heavily during our stay, and while private plowing services arrived, it was usually around 11 a.m. If it snows overnight, expect to shovel the large driveway to get the cars out early in the morning. The roads are steep and not always well-plowed, so a four-wheel-drive vehicle, winter tires, or chains are highly recommended. On our last morning, a tree fell out front, blocking the road and knocking out power. These things happen, and it wasn’t the host’s fault, but the remote location means services may be limited. Despite that, we had a wonderful time!

Bottom Line Up Front - good launching pad if you are coming to the area to do stuff like fish, ski, raft, bike, hike, visit family, etc. This house has the Deerfield river on one side and Rt 2 on the other just on the edge of Charlemont center. Easy walking to a well stocked general store and packie, Dirt Church tap room and a pizza restaurant. The property is adjacent to a bridge where one can access the river. On the main floor is the kitchen, dining room, living room and the main bathroom with the tub/shower. Upstairs is for sleeping with 4 bedrooms with lots of beds and a centrally located 1/2 bath.

The cabin was in a beautiful setting and right on the water. The cabin is very rustic but had all the comforts of home. The cabin is what I expected and wanted. Having grown up in the area, I already knew how beautiful the area is and what to expect.

Stayed for two nights. Great fun place, very clean and awesome theme. Lake was nice and peaceful. Patti was very responsive and communicated well. Thank you!

We spent a weekend in this beautiful house in early spring. The house is amazing and has everything you need. The view is amazing and the pond invites you to fish or watch birds. It‘s calm and relaxing. Would love to come back here soon and spend more time. Kelly and Claire have been amazing hosts and a nice contact.

Excellent and beautiful location. Very scenic and tranquil. The location allows you to relax while still being in reach of everything. The unit was very well maintained and clean. All the Amenities of home without the chaos.

Our family stayed for UMass events. About 40 minutes away it was a beautiful and peaceful setting. Hosts were super responsive. Simple cabin beautifully set up. 2 bathrooms! Loved the beach and the ping pong table. Wish we could have stayed for longer :-)

Great Lake side cottage charm. Fully stocked kitchen. Lots of fun water toys to use. Great views and peaceful!

Bob and Eve's spot on Lake Wyola is beautiful situated and comfortable. We all enjoyed our stay. There are a few minor issues worth noting for future guests: 1. There are no hand towels. Instead, paper towels are supplied for this purpose. 2. The septic system is fragile; the hosts ask that toilet paper be placed in a trash can next to the toilet. Personally, this was no problem, but some of our older family members were put off by this. 3. The hosts charge a cleaning fee but ask that floors be swept and vacuumed. Again, this was no problem for me, personally, but multiple members of our party insisted that I leave feedback about this ... so here it is. I guess I agree with them that a typical cleaning, per the fee paid for this purpose, should include cleaning the floors.

A great place, exactly as described. Pub at end of drive is convenient and delicious. Absolutely anything we could have possibly needed was thought of and made available. The retro feel made me think of family cabin stays when I was a kid . We played Apple to Apples and put together three puzzles in the evenings, all were provided. Although a quirky older cabin (in a great way), we loved loved loved the character, and it was super clean! Way up in the hills, so natural areas are close and spectacular. Plenty of things to do within a drive, which is a visual treat in itself. Saw black bears twice as we were out and about. Nothing fancy, but for us it was just what we wanted/needed. Thanks so much, Linda for being a 5 star host!
