Holiday rentals with lake access in Pioneer Valley

This was the PERFECT weekend escape. My boyfriend and I work high stress jobs in the cities and this little place and the beautiful surroundings was the perfect way to relax and get some space from the hustle and bustle.

My husband and I loved our stay at this house. It checked all our boxes. It was clean, spacious, had a comfortable bed, plenty of hot water and a barbecue grill. It also came with lots of personality. We ate breakfast at the local country store/cafe called Sherwood Forest most days. It was a great place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lake house! The home itself is lovely—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for a family getaway. The lake and boats were a big highlight for us, offering plenty of fun and relaxation. Our host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. While there were a few small things that needed fixing, she addressed them right away and was very communicative, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience and a memorable holiday for our family. We’d definitely love to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at the house. Mitchell was very responsive and communication was easy. The house is near butternut and GB. Hopefully we will come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoors.

This was our second stay. The house is cute and comfortable. Nice outdoor space with a sandy beach area and shallow lake entry. Jena is great to work with.

We stayed here on our way to Stowe to break up our long drive with an 8 and 2 year old. It ended up being a wonderful mini trip that we didn't want to leave. The house exceeded our expectations in terms of quality, cleanliness, and amenities. And the location was excellent - about 10 to 12 min to the nearest grocery store and downtown with restaurants, Edith Wharton's estate about 20 min away, and Great Barrington/Stockbridge were easily accessible for day trips. We plan to come back for skiing, and to take advantage of the lake activities in the summer. The only downside was the busy road, as mentioned in the listing, but the traffic quieted down in the evening and it didn't affect our sleep at night with the bedrooms located in the back of the house (husband is a very light sleeper; we did bring and use sound machines just in case).

this place is magical. my sisters and I have stayed here twice now, for her wedding and now for mine. both times the home has been clean and the overall experience has been wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and comfortable lake house. The setting was serene—perfect for a relaxing getaway—and the home itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. The owner was incredibly helpful and responsive, always quick to reply to any questions via text, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

The location and space were great! I worked remotely during most of my stay and was very comfortable with my set up. The dining table was a perfect desk, with good lighting and wifi! Slept well due to it being so quiet at night. A positive experience overall.

We loved the studio and felt right at home It was a perfect place to stay while exploring the Berkshires, close to both outdoor activities and the offerings of the town. We especially appreciated the beautiful view from the studio which enhanced rest and relaxation. Jill and Steve were great hosts. Highly recommend.

Can’t say enough good things about this find near Jiminy Peak in the Berkshires! Stayed for three nights while skiing two days over presidents weekend. Hosts were very thoughtful and flexible. Left cookies and s’mores kit which were a nice touch. During snowstorm steps to the unit and walking areas were kept shoveled and salted. For us and our two teenagers this offered the perfect alternative to pricey on mountain lodging and was only about a 13 minute drive. There was even a bonus game room which could probably serve as a small additional bedroom if someone had the need, it certainly has room for a twin air mattress. Our two kids shared the queen bed with minimal fighting, but that would’ve been our back up plan😂. Anyway, they were super responsive, check in and check out was easy and will certainly look to stay again if we get up there to ski again this year !

Pleasant stay in a clean, cozy space. There is a bit of noise from traffic on the nearby road, but not a big issue for us. Would stay here again.

We had a great 4 day stay at Nina’s place. The apt is exactly as pictured and described on Airbnb. The space was a nice size, the furniture comfortable with the bed on the softer side, really good Water pressure in the shower, good amount of kitchen ware To create breakfast and lunches and light dinners. We loved the proximity to town and yet how quiet the place was, and there is a river directly in back. Nina was very prompt in responding to questions and gave us great recommendations for hikes in the area. There is a great bookstore and a number of really wonderful gift stores with Vermont artist’s works a block from the apt. And about a mile down the road starfire bakery with truly amazing baked goods. Make it a priority to Go there and try lots of things! We really loved our stay at Nina’s place and hope we can return in the fall or winter.

Elisa’s place was perfect for what we needed. It was exactly like the photos inside, very cozy and welcoming! Elisa gave very clear directions to find the place and to park, although the parking lot ended up being very full and it could be difficult to find a space. We loved the place and if we ever came back would definitely stay again!

The place was beautifully decorated and everything from the plants to the antiques was wonderful to see. This is the perfect place for any stay and they only ask that you respect the possessions. John was very responsive in helping us for a late check in.

The space is very clean. I stayed 2 nights and brought my dog with me. The only thing that I was surprised about was that there wasn't a door to the bedroom area. I had looked at the pictures and assumed the door I saw was to the bedroom but it was a closet. The bed area is separated by a partial wall but not an actual door. Something to keep in mind if you have additional people sleeping on the pull out couch.

Frederick and Kelly have a great little rustic cabin right on the lake. Peaceful, quiet (a tiny bit of road noise occasionally, but overall very quiet). Frederick is super helpful and friendly. Cabin was built around 75 years ago (original builder's son left a note in the log book!), so don't expect anything ultramodern.. just a nice unassuming rustic family cabin.

We had a GREAT time at Feyza’s cabin. It was clean, quiet and exactly as described. We especially loved the secluded setting, the lake views and the jacuzzi. Feyza was helpful, communicative and very responsive. Her digital guidebook was very insightful as to the local attractions and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

This place was everything it was said to be. it was clean and very cozy. Kyle had a booklet with useful information about the cottage, restaurants and local attractions.

We enjoyed our time at Vintage Bolton Lake Cottage. The place is cute, peaceful and quiet. Not having a TV was perfection! Kayaking was fun. Nice bass too! Top notch experience. Jason checked in to make sure we didn’t need anything or have any concerns mid stay, which I appreciate. Phenomenal host. Would love to go back!

This was the perfect spot for our mini vacation with our adult son and dog. The house was adorable and comfortable...the beds were especially comfy. The fenced in patio area and sun porch was so relaxing and although no one actually slept on it, the daybed was very comfortable as well. We enjoyed our day trip to Boston and multiple trips to Treehouse Brewery. Gwen's communication was awesome...such a terrific host! Hoping to stay again.

What an amazing stay! The place had great games and the porch was such a treat. The view from the fire pit was so relaxing and we enjoyed toasting smores while overlooking the lake. We ended up taking the folding chairs and playing catch by the lake, which was only a short walk away. Robert was responsive when we asked where to get firewood. We also enjoyed the Sturbridge coffee house and Maine Lobster (we liked it so much, we went twice)! We ended up going to the farmers market and flea market, which were great finds. Overall, a great stay with the kitchen utensils, bathroom necessities that you’d need. Close by the lake and a great neighborhood!

We really enjoyed our stay at Michelle’s place. Overlooking a lake in a peaceful location, this was perfect for a small group looking for a reasonably priced Airbnb to stay while skiing at Mount Snow. The location was cool and I can definitely see this house being great for warmer seasons as well. One thing that stood out was the clarity of instructions provided by the host. Both the description of the property and what to expect, and the check in/out instructions are very accurate and helpful.

Mary Elle's cottage was the perfect mid week getaway. We found it clean and very cozy. Spent hours on the spacious deck enjoying the views on Cedar Lake. Paved driveway provided off road parking and easy access for unpacking and reloading our luggage. Already thinking about a return visit.
