Summer Lake Cottage, private beach, Berkshire Hills, small village

Description

5 BR, 3 BTH + hot outdoorshower, large kitch, 2-story LR, 3 screened porches, new dock

This is the lake cottage your grandmother visited during her childhood. Charming, original 1920 features. Big remodeled kitchen (new stove/oven) and big living room for family reunions and guests. Sleeps 9 in comfort; it has often slept 20. Porch overlooks Lake Wononscopomuc -- deepest lake in Connecticut. Close to train to New York and recreation facilities, in the heart of the New England independent school world and just right for the family's May and June, end of school and graduation weekends. Adjacent to Hotchkiss School and Interlaken Inn. Great fishing, hiking (including access to Appalachian Trail), antiques, golf, tennis, fall foliage, summer theater, dance and art. Superb porch sitting. Wood stove, fire-place, and electric heaters deal with extra-cool evenings or mornings. Outdoor gas grill supplements 2 indoor ovens and stove. WiFi, TV, phone.

Note that this is NOT a good place for wild or late night parties. It is located on a quiet lake not far from neighbors who appreciate the quiet beauty of the rural area. If you want to party loudly or despoil the lake, please go elsewhere.

Cultural Activities -- Near Lakeville, CT: Within a few miles of Lakeville, CT are features that include Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Tri-Arts Sharon Playhouse, Music Mountain, Norfolk Festival, Railroad Days, excellent restaurants, and lovely NW CT countryside.

Outstanding Lakeville rental

We rented this great cottage for our daughter's wedding and could not have been happier. The owner responds to questions immediately, was very nice to deal with from start to finish, and provided all the necessary information to make the stay easy. Thank you so much for a great Lakeville rental!

Indeed quite a respite from the hustle and bustle.

Watching the little foxes play in the driveway half way up the hill was an unexpected treat.

Tranquil summer cabin

Comfortably fit 16 in this cabin during our wedding using some air mattresses. Beautifully located on the lake. Exchanges with Alden couldn't have been easier.

Amazing

We had such a great visit at the lake house last weekend!! It was amazing to catch some Zzzzz’s on the sleeping porches. The kitchen was an absolute dream... 2 sinks, 2 refrigerators, open concept, charming details. The indoor showers barely got used because the outdoor version was so lovely... like a waterfall falling down over you. The water was perfect. The screened in back porch was a dream at night. Thank you!

Wonderful cabin

Love the Lake House! Wonderful cabin! It was what we were looking for, and it did not disappoint.

Spacious rustic cabin on beautiful lake

We had a little family reunion here with three generations of people and a couple of dogs too. It was just an amazing stay, beautiful tranquil lake that we swam in every day, and lots of room for everybody to have their own space, inside or outside. Loved every minute!

Great stay for a wedding

This was a great property for our group of 11. The outdoor space was fantastic, especially the screened-in porch, and the common space in the house is great for a large group. Alden was very helpful and incredibly responsive. If I were to attend a wedding in the area in the future with a large group, I would definitely stay here.

The cabin was ideally located by the lake it. It was very rustic and quaint.

Overall we were extremely pleased.

Lovely lake cottage

Nice and quiet location that made us feel as if we were very removed from our normal hustle and bustle of a life in the city. Exactly what everyone needed for a wedding weekend

Great Lake House

Simple, clean, and great for bonding. We loved the fire pit, canoes, and proximity to Interlaken. Super communication and very user friendly owner.

Well equiped and spacious rustic cabin on quiet lake

This was a fantastic property for our large group. The partially shaded waterfront provided shade and privacy while still allowing pleasant views of the lake. The screened-in porch space was fantastic, and the common space in the house is great for a large group. The 5 bedrooms are roomy and separated from the common space. The large kitchen with 2 sinks and refrigerators made meal preparation easy for multiple cooks. The property was equipped with so many useful things. We especially enjoyed the inflatable floats and multiple boats for cruising the refreshing and quiet lake. The area has easy access to services and other activities for a wonderful vacation visit. Alden was very helpful and responsive.
