Wonderful!

My husband and I stayed for a week and enjoyed all of it. The house is well equipped and comfortable. We particularly liked using the canoe on the beautiful lake. While the lake bottom is a bit mushy and reedy, the water was still warm enough in September to float on a raft and it gets less reedy if you swim out a bit. The beach area is wonderful and so nice to be that close to the lake. Our host was communicative and helpful. Highly recommend!

Lakefront Community

While the property was very comfortable for the 2 of us, there were amenities available for larger groups in terms of space and lakefront "toys" Larger families/groups would be comfortably accommodated in the multiple bedrooms, sitting and dining areas, i.e. indoor seating for 14

Great family space

Well laid out three bedroom home with outstanding common areas for games, dining, etc. Lots of wood, stone and glass. Short downhill trek to beach and new dock/float. Shared clay tennis court and b-ball hoop. Five minute drive to local Appalachian Trail and ten minutes to Great Barrington and it’s great offerings.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Rosen

My parents purchased the Little Cottage almost 40 years ago. My parents would bring myself, and my two brothers up for weekends and for longer in the Summer and Winter. It is now owned and shared by my family and my two brothers' families. We have had years of special memories here and want to share it with you. In 2017 we completed a major renovation and updated the furnishings to better support our growing family. It still maintains a rustic, yet comfortable environment that fits with the woods and the Lake.
