About this property

East Otis, MA, Waterfront Summer Cottage, Big Pond,

Rental is weekly: Sunday to Sunday.
This charming waterfront cottage is located on the pristine 333 acre lake known as Big Pond, one of the Berkshires most hidden treasures. Enjoy and relax on the deck as you watch the sunrise every morning or just to enjoy the beauty of the lake at your fingertips.
This cottage sleeps 6 comfortably with 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with a queen bed and a loft with two single beds. The loft is accessible by a ladder. There is a large spacious living room with a wood stove to enjoy on a cool night if you are not having a fire on the beach in the fire pit. It also has a large spacious kitchen and dining area.
This cottage is rustic with imperfections and is completely furnished. Heat source is a wood stove and wood is provided.
If you are not relaxing on the deck you can sit on our privately owned beach area and relax by the waters edge. There are beach chairs to use, a dock to sit on and a raft to swim to.
This cottage sits in a little cove and is ideal for young children because the water is shallow near the dock and they can walk out about 50 feet before it starts getting deep.
The lake is clean and ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating, windsurfing and so much more.

Great on the water cabin.
Rustic cabin with a great lake location. The outdoor and indoor space was comfortable for two seniors , young parents with a new born and preschool children. Used my two weeks to visit family enjoy nature. Many of the days were rainy. We found many things to do with in a 20 min drive.

Beautiful Big Ponf
The place was exactly what we were looking for. The owners were very attentive to what we needed and extremely friendly. We also met some very nice neighbors, Mike and Cathy. Our dog Tia, even made a new friend with their dog Finnigan. They bounced around together, all week long. We would love to go back but the owner's dogs were not as friendly to our dog, as we would have liked them to be. The owner did take them home for the majority of the week which eliminated the concern. When they were there I was continously worrying about the dogs interactions. Other then that, it was a beautiful week. Thank you Chris , Mike, Cathy, and Deb for the great time.

Serenity on Danoff Lane
We were very pleased with our cozy cottage. It was very clean when we arrived and had all the kitchen supplies that we could ask for. The host, Debbie was very thorough with her directions and also needed items to bring. The location was beautiful, and we were so grateful for the lovely view from the cottage.

Lakeside stay at Big Pond
This was a cozy camp nestled in a sweet shallow cove. Watched eagles fly and ospreys diving for fish. It's a basic no frills camp, but the location can't be beat! Owners are very responsive and helpful with local info. Would recommend.
