Charming Lakefront Cottage; Boat, Swim, Fish, Hike, Bike, Golf, majestic Views

A charming lakefront cottage in the foothills of the beautiful Berkshire Mountains. Located on a peaceful lake with a private dock & shore-front with gorgeous lake & Mountain views. The cottage is only 50 feet from the lake and private dock. It comes with a canoe, sailboat, two kayaks, a small row boat, paddle board and is pet friendly. Relax in the newly renovated large screened-in porch- that is spacious enough to entertain in while watching the majestic wildlife (blue herons nest nearby and we often see bald eagles). Twin Lakes is known for its great fishing (a trophy lake) This lake (West Twin) has no public access, so it’s very quiet. The cottage can sleep 6 people comfortably. It has two bedrooms (1 queen and 2 twin beds), a queen pullout couch and a bathroom .There is a bright and airy open living room and dining area. Cuddle up on the comfy sofa cozy by the large fire place inside, or enjoy the fresh air toasting marshmallows in the fire- pit on a cool evening. Enjoy cooking your meals on a gas or charcoal grill, while savoring your meal in the sunshine on the large deck facing the lake. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker. We have a flat screen TV with DVD, WiFi, and air conditioning. The bathroom was recently(3yrs ago) renovated and has all new fixtures and washer & dryer!

The kitchen, living room and bedrooms and porch floor got a fresh coat of paint. We have a new microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker. The newly refinished wood floor is beautiful in living and dining area. There are new indoor/outdoor rugs in the kitchen and porch that gives them a fresh and look and easy cleaning. We have refurnished furniture, pursed new cushions for chairs, bought new lamps. Every week we have our cottage professionally cleaned.

Relaxing waterfront spot in the Berkshires!
This was our first visit to the Berkshires and we couldn't have asked for a better spot to see the fall foliage! Rindy and Jon offer a lakefront spot with private pier, canoe, rowboat and kayaks. My husband enjoyed fishing while I read on the screened in porch with a clear view of the lake. Our dog enjoyed playing in the yard and we enjoyed using the fire pit stocked with ample firewood. The house is cozy and comfortable with a big kitchen and open floor plan into the living area. It was a relaxing stay and our hosts were really accommodating in answering questions and providing fishing tools. I would recommend bringing your own sheets and towels instead of trying to wash/dry them before checking out. Highly recommend for anyone wishing to unplug and explore the nearby area!
