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

We had a wonderful weekend staying at the cottage. It is very convenient to Great Barrington and the surrounding area where there is so much to do and explore. Communication with our hosts was excellent and they even left a treat for us as a surprise when we checked in.

House was nice. A little musty from the dense area that it is located in. Yard area need some TLC. Hard to locate after dark. But the trip was good and the lake is beautiful.

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.

Weekend Bliss
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.
