About this property

Spacious Berkshire Summer Rental, Private Dock on Lake 3 BR/2b

Beautiful, spacious, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, family home in the Berkshires located on a private road on crystal clear Richmond Pond with private dock for swimming and boating. Our home in the Berkshires is comfortable and clean with hardwood floors, skylights, spacious closets, and wood paneling. We have a new shower bath combination in the master bedroom (on the main floor), energy efficient washer and dryer, new Weber gas grill, and lush landscaping. There are air conditioners in each of the 3 bedrooms and one downstairs in the living/dining room. There are many books, games, a fully equipped kitchen with a table and six chairs plus additional dining room table which seats up to 8. We provide clean linens, a rowboat, 2 kayaks, life preservers, and many water toys. The house sleeps 7 people in comfortable bedrooms. The master bedroom with queen bed and twin bed and full bath (with shower/tub) are on the main floor. The additional 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with toilet and sink are upstairs. There is a second shower in an adjacent building with changing room and electricity and plenty of hot water (with a separate water tank). There is a large wooden deck with a table, umbrella, and chairs and Weber gas grill. No smoking. Good quality Spectrum Wireless Internet is provided, plus cable TV (flat screen). (Note that WIFI was installed in 2016 so earlier reviews do not list it.) Fishing is excellent in Richmond Pond; it is stocked with a variety of perch, pumpkinseed, bream, bluegill, rock bass, bullhead, brook trout, brown trout, crappie, largemouth bass and pickerel . It is a 15 minute drive to Tanglewood (summer home of the Boston Symphony); also close to Berkshire Theatre Festival, Stockbridge; Barrington Stage, Pittsfield; Lenox; Great Barrington; Jacob’s Pillow; and Williamstown. Albany airport is 1 hour away. Hiking, biking, and water skiing are all available.

Cute Cabin in the Berkshires
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The home is not actually on the lake, which was slightly disappointing because of the pictures, but the lake is a very short walk and is absolutely stunning. The cabin was in a great location, about 15 minutes from Lennox and Pittsfield, though make sure you don't use google maps and follow the owner's directions. The owner was very responsive when we had questions.

Fall long weekend
We were doing a Farm to Fork Fondo bike ride in the area so staying in Richmond was a perfect location. The house is a lake house but had all the updates one would want for a comfortable rental. Would have loved to take the kayaks out on the pond so will have to go back another time!

Happy Holiday!
This was a perfect getaway place for a long weekend! It is located close to the main road for getting around. The dock at the lake was wonderful for some quiet time and a great view of the stars at night. We enjoyed it very much. The house had everything we needed.

Berkshire Rental
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent at this location. The dwelling was nicely furnished and well maintained and the pond invites recreation. If we vacation in this area again we would gladly return. The Bartlett Orchard Farm Store is a big plus and the road along the pond beach and boat launch is a great place to walk the dog.
