Quite Simply, the Very Best!
This delightful cottage is exceptional in every regard - comfort, cleanliness, and location! And the hosts, Lindsey and Steven, are by far the best hosts in the Berkshires!

Great Hosts, Great Location
Steve and Lindsey were super responsive and also proactive. We stayed for about one month. They provided a canoe and when they heard we had friends coming up gave us access to second one. When the weather turned unseasonably cold this summer they brought over space heaters in case we needed. The house was well equipped and the location is an easy drive to Great Barrington and the various cultural sites in the Berkshires and Columbia County.

Tanglewood Enchantment
Great location just one house back from Lake Beul with a 3-minute walk to the dock shared with several other houses. We spent most of our time at Tanglewood soaking in some great music but, when at the house we very much enjoyed the outdoor features. We had a small fire in the little fire pit on the patio every night; the bugs did not carry us away. We are regular Tanglewood folks and will try to rent this house again.

Our son and his family enjoyed their stay immensely!! This was a repeat visit from last year. While everything was great last year, they loved the work that has been done to make the place even better. They are hoping to return again next summer!!

A charming little place. We will be back!
A very nice stay. Communication with the host was great. We kept bothering her with questions and she responded quickly. The place is really beautiful. We lit a fire each night and played some of the provided games and watched Netflix. It's an easy drive to Great Barrington to get groceries at the Berkshire coop. We also took advantage of our surroundings and hikes on the AT a little each day. Next time we'll use the host's canoe to explore Lake Buel. The only minor complaint I would have is the bed. We're used to a king at home so sleeping was a little tough. And, it's creaky. But it was very comfortable. Just smaller than we're used to. I highly recommend this VRBO. We'll be back!

Berkshire's Best
We're planning on coming back. Quite tucked away cabin on Lake Buel. Made the stay memorable from the get-go. We came here for a birthday weekend. They bought a delicious chocolate raspberry cake to welcome us. The directions to the property were clear and concise. We had 1 small hiccup forgetting keys in the house after we locked the door. They came by and unlocked it while we were out. Highly recommend this cabin.

Beautiful, cozy getaway
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! There was just enough room to have together time yet also have our separate spaces. The lake side neighborhood was beautiful to walk around and it was wonderful to know we had the option to canoe. Lindsey thoughtfully made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. If I find myself headed back to the Berkshires, I’d stay here again!

True cabin experience , We were so lucky to come across this gem and the couple of nights spent there were not nearly long enough. Super helpful owners and although there were other cabins nearby we felt very secluded and relaxed, never crowded

Exactly what we needed
This is a wonderfully simple cabin that has everything you need and nothing you don’t. It is cozy, comfortable, and charming. We were here for two days and managed to swim in the lake twice, canoe once, s’mores over the fire pit, and relax a ton. Great hosts who checked in and made sure we knew the lay of the land. We really loved this spot and will be back.

Great place located on Lake Buel, felt welcomed immediately by amount of communication and information pre arrival. Upon arrival we were greeted by a personalized note and a treat from the owners. It was relaxing and we enjoyed the area immensely. As a native to the Berkshires It was a real joy spending time in an area that I don't often get to visit. So much history, culture, and charm.

Nice Stay in the Woods
We only stayed for two nights, but this two bedroom cottage was perfect for the four of us. The bedrooms were small yet comfortable. There was plenty of space for us to spread out in the open living/dining/kitchen area. We were also impressed how clean the cottage was on our arrival. Parking for two cars was a bit tricky since there was not much of a driveway, but the garage was available.
