Lake house holiday rentals in The Berkshires

This was a bit of a last minute decision to come to the Berkshires and I was grateful that Tiffany could accommodate some quick changes. The house is just as described--lots of space, nice setting, pool table was fun (and cool in the basement), and I appreciated that our two dogs could be included. Even though the house is in NY, it is not far from the hiking trails and museums. We would like to come back--a lot more to see and do in this area.

Very rustic, private, peaceful kind of like a camp but with air conditioning and excellent wifi. Bald eagle sat over the lake outside. Kayaks were fun. Tons of great hikes and historical things to see. Town of Great Barrington and Sheffield have great antiquing both high and low end. I would go back any time.

This was my second time staying at Maureen’s beautiful lakeside home and it surely won’t be my last. It’s the coziest, peaceful and inspiring place. Looking forward to future visits!

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).

A beautiful, comfortable house right on the Hudson with stunning views. We loved watching all the life on the river, herons and loons and ducks, as well as boats from tiny crafts to massive barges. There are great hikes just a short distance away. It is a perfect place to rest, write, draw, and make music.

Beautiful space. Amazing countryside vibes. Fun hike down to the waterfall, great kitchen for cooking and a fun night in. There was lots of quaint stuff to do in nearby Middleburgh: thrifting, diners, 50s milkshake bar, antique book stores, hikes, breweries, and more. We loved that there was so many towels for the sauna and swimming. One note: give yourself a lot of time for the sauna to heat up. Instructions were clear and they gave us lots of local recs. Also LOVED the hammocks -- lots of cozy nooks to hang for a chill girls weekend. We might be back again! A great stay.

I was planning on my proposal and wanted somewhere special. The window house was exactly that. Private, peaceful, super clean, amazing views and wildlife. Taylor and Marla were EXTREMELY good at communicating and getting back in a timely manner. If you and your significant other are looking to get away, this is the place. It’s sublime.

The property was as described, beautifully situated by the water in a beautiful location. Lee, the host, provided prompt and responsive communication. the unique outdoor shower and toilet (incinerator toilet) were acceptable for us, but the space was somewhat limited for two adults and two children; it may be better suited for two guests.

Warm and cozy place. Sofa and beds were very comfortable. Fire place was great and added some wonderful ambience. Secluded and so quiet and peaceful, especially at night. Place was spotless. Close enough to some great hiking spots and good restaurants. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location, very nicely decorated and spotlessly clean home with a lot of thoughtful amenities provided. And the town, which is a short drive from the home, is very charming with lots of cute shops and great dining options. The only couple of flags are the bedrooms are all side by side and the walls are thin, so be prepared to be aware of the movements of all staying in the house (or bring headphones). And they’re not joking when they say the neighbors are close, like RIGHT next to you on both sides, and sound definitely travels easier on the water. We were grilling one night and could hear every word the couple next door to us spoke as they had their evening wine on their deck. So just keep that in mind if you’re seeking deep privacy or have a noisier group. But overall a lovely and peaceful stay in a beautifully appointed home. I’d be happy to come back.

We went in February. Even with snow no problem to drive to the house. It is perfectly located. Remote but still close enough to everything. It is close to nice hikes. We would love to come back in the Summer or so as it has its own lake access. Kitchen is perfectly equipped if you like to cook. I always like if you have a separate dinning table - to eat, work, talk. All very clean with personal touches. We can just recommend the place highly. And Jaclyn was a great host - she gave us some flexibility with checkout but also was vey responsive. Thanks a lot!

We stayed at Caroline and Nathaniel’s beautiful home over the winter and celebrated NYE’s. Their house is beautiful and perched on top of the hills overlooking a lake. The view is absolutely stunning in the mornings. The house was well maintained and clean. The hosts were very active in communicating with us where we needed anything or if we needed to be aware of any situations regarding the house. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time at Francois & Ann's oasis by the lake. It was so relaxing to wake up, look at the lake, and listen to birds chirp. If you are looking for isolation, this place does the trick, We didn't see anyone all week on the lake or at the other cabins until the day we left. The lake has excellent fishing. With little effort, we caught several decent-sized bass and pickerel right off the dock. The location is ideal. You feel like you are out in the country, but are close to great restaurants in Kinderhook and only 25 minutes from Hudson or Albany. It's also only an hour from Mass Moca and 90 minutes to Cooperstown. Francois and Ann were very communicative and quickly responded to questions and comments.

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.

Perfect place for a long weekend with our family. Plenty of space for the 5 of us and an absolutely beautiful location. Right on the water with access to multiple kayaks. Very peaceful setting with easy access to nearby towns like Monticello and White Lake.

A truly amazing experience. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Amanda & John’s home. You won’t find a better, more cared for, more beautifully appointed home. Everything you could ask for and more. Super kind, responsive hosts and every detail is considered. Great WiFi, too. If you’re looking for an experience in a spacious landscape, in quietude, with stars up above, this is the place.

Very comfortable house - nice and airy. Great location just outside Lakeville. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at James and Lissy’s house! It was perfectly located for getting around the Berkshires. The house was clean, beautiful, and cozy. When we needed to communicate with James and Lissy they were incredibly responsive and helpful. Every year, my friends from high school and I meet up for a reunion in the Berkshires (we have been doing this annually), and the hope is to stay in this very Airbnb next year, if possible/ available! It was an exceptional Airbnb experience!

I want to say thank you to Christopher and his family for allowing my friends and me to stay in their home. it was clean, beautiful, serene and exactly what it was described to be. Christopher, your suggestions on golf courses for my friends and me were exceptional. I hope we were as good of guests as you were hosts!

What an amazing stay. The house is right on a peaceful pond and our kids had the best time exploring every day by canoe. We saw foxes, beavers, tons of birds, and ended each day with s’mores by the fire. Total magic! The house itself was super comfortable and had everything we needed. And the full-size arcade machines were a huge hit with the kids! We’d come back in a heartbeat!

This was our second stay at the house and we will continue to return. Beautiful, clean, well-stocked home and responsive host. Tina even accommodated an early check in and late check out so our trip could go smoothly with baby nap and event schedules. Highly recommend.

My family and I stayed here for 4 nights during the memorial weekend. (Kids 5&3). Initially, I booked this house because I thought it was near the Southwick zoo , found out It wasn’t it’s about 2 hours away. Bummed , but we found so much to do even though the weather was so rainy and cold the entire time. Beautiful views, beautiful lake with lots of wildlife. We enjoyed the canoe and paddle boat. The hot tub was wonderful and very clean. The hang out game area in the basement was cool. Games and books for the kids. The main level is beautiful with vaulted ceilings and a screened in porch. wonderful to sit and enjoy your coffee in the morning. We enjoyed the fire pit by the lake. Overall we had a great time! Definitely would stay here again! - This house is about 45 minutes from Six Flags and Look Park.

Had a beautiful, relaxing stay with friends at George's place right on the lake. Loved sitting on the deck watching trout swim in the stream and deer passing by. The house is in a perfect location, short drive to both downtown Lenox and Lee. In addition, the house is right down the street from High Lawn farm which makes delicious ice cream and cheese. Can't wait to visit again!

Had an amazing time at Chris and Alex’s beautiful lake front home! The place is cute and clean and they have it set up for guests to easily use. We had an amazing time paddling out on the lake and making smores in the fire pit at night!
