Incredible getaway !
We had an incredible time at this beautiful property . Completed secluded , we were in our own private oasis . We had our small intimate wedding on the property , overlooking the water , and it was perfect . The house is clean and cozy . The layout of the house is really nice , and even with many people staying there you aren’t on top of each other . So many things to do outdoors here , we spent the majority of our time enjoying the outdoors , and you really feel like you’re on your own private island . Can’t wait to stay again . Lisa the host is great and very accommodating and easy to get along with . Can’t say enough good things about this place !

Great for watercraft & wildlife
My husband, two adult children and their significant others had a great time here. The lake is fun for kayaks, canoes and paddle boards, but with all the vegetation, swimming is a challenge. But we saw green herons, bald eagles, kingfishers, frogs, fish and beavers -- who were happy to slap their tails at us when we got too close! Great property.

Lakeside vacation
Our families (7 humans and one extremely happy Golden Retriever) enjoyed our stay on the water. We took full advantage of the many kayaks, canoe and paddle boards upon the calm and picturesque lake. When evening descended, we enjoyed a roaring fire and roasted marshmallows for smores. We also availed ourselves of the central location to explore nearby towns, including Great Barrington, and restaurants. It was a great weekend (and easy drive from NYC).

We loved the location of this house. It was very close to the wedding we were attending that weekend and to Great Barrington. The house was also uniquely situated- so that it was surrounded by water on 3 sides. The setting was lovely and we were able to use the kayaks Lisa made available with the property. Lisa was a great host - always available and immediately responsive to our questions. I would be happy to rent this house again when I am in the Berkshires.

Magical beauty in the Berkshires
Our stay here was in late October. The foliage was so vibrant-gold, bronze and red. The property is fully enclosed/secured by a handsome gate, with chain link fencing extending from the gate through the yard and into the pond. The home and yard is tastefully decorated with fun and unique artwork. Our two adult daughters and their three dogs joined us for a few days. Plenty of room to spread out or gather together for a game, puzzle, or watch TV. The two huge flat screen TVs were great. The glass pocket door between the two rooms allows for privacy or watching the second TV. The dogs loved the large windows, and walks on the property and longer walks down the road. We saw the resident bald eagle most days. Its favorite spot to survey the area for food was in a tree just outside the windows. We also saw a blue heron gliding gracefully over the pond, looking for fish. Lisa, the property owner, was super to work with. Always readily available to assist with anything. She ensured the two bathrooms were well stocked-plenty of towels and soaps. Fully stocked kitchen with pantry basics, coffee pot, k-cup brewer, toaster, blender and microwave. A glass cooktop and full size oven were handy to have, and there was plenty of cookware. We loved the well-lit bar area - it made the area more spacious. Washer & dryer were great to have. Groceries, restaurants and shops located nearby too. We loved our vacation and hope to stay at this beautiful spot again!

Perfect Setting for a Boys' Weekend
I rented this house for the purpose of a weekend with the guys in my band. The owner was really accommodating about it and even made suggestions about how and where to move the furniture while we were playing music. The house is reasonably priced and in a beautiful location. Lisa, the owner, is very friendly and easy to work with and we had a great time!

Nice lake house on Mill Pond
Photos are accurate. It's a two bedroom, two bathroom house. It was only the three of us so we had plenty of room. The highlight of this house is being able to canoe and kayak on Mill pond. Great views of the pond from many windows. We brought our own bikes but there are many good bikes in the shed.

Fantastic location and excellent host
We stayed at this location for a long weekend in September, and it was perfect for our trip. The house has access to kayaking/canoeing on the lake, bikes, a fire pit, a kitchen with all of the needed implements, and has easy access to fun shopping, hiking, and restaurants. The lake is large enough to be scenic, to allow for kayaking, and to provide privacy, while either small enough or remote enough so that we never saw/heard motor boats or lake traffic. The host is great. She has put a lot of thought into the amenities, and goes out of her way to make sure you know what the location has to offer, and is clearly concerned with the happiness of her guests. She even went the extra mile for us in tracking down an expensive item our daughter lost while there, and making sure it got back to us. The only regret from one of our group is that he didn’t bring his dog (as he didn’t read the description carefully before coming), as the location appears perfect for canine visitors as well. That being said, there was no smell or obvious signs that dogs had been there in the past, which was great for the people who aren’t as fond of the presence of dogs, Overall, wonderful stay and great experience!

Ok but just wasn’t right for us.
There are pros and cons to this home. The Pros: it is secluded and I love the fenced in yard. It allowed me to let my dogs roam without worrying about them running away. Also some great hiking trails close by. Cons: people really can’t swim, no easy water access despite 240 degrees of water and too much plant lode/ weeds in the water. It was a very hot week and since there is no air conditioning, we really couldn’t cool off and my dogs were hot. Also, the house is a little cramped/ cluttered in their attempt to accommodate 8 people. There were only 4 of us and 3 dogs and it was hard to move around and no storage/counter space.

Perfect little get away!
We stayed at the Peninsula House for a long weekend. Lisa was a wonderful host. She was always available although we did not need her very much. When we had questions she was right there, warm and friendly and helpful. The house is surrounded by water on 3 sides and you can always see it out the windows. It was cold and rainy and still incredibly beautiful. The house is very clean, well maintained, artfully, and comfortably decorated. The kitchen was well appointed and everything was in good to excellent shape, plenty of dishes cups glasses, sharp knives etc... We would love to come back in warmer waether to use the canoe and pattle boards!

Great weekend stay at this lovely lakehouse!
We really enjoyed the property, the views, lake access and the coziness of the place! It was perfect for the two of us and our pup. More affordable if you have at least 4 people though! We would def stay again in summer with friends. Lots of kitchen appliances, pots, basic spices etc. House felt plenty warm when the temp dropped. Many cute restaurants and shops. and breweries within 5-10 minute drive. We wished we had another day or two to enjoy the place, it is very peaceful!

Quiet Retreat
I came to this house looking for a silent retreat environment and found EXACTLY what I was looking for. The whole time I was in the house or kayaking I only heard 2 propeller planes! No cars, no people, just birds. But Big Y and some really great restaurants were a 10 minute drive from the house. I even saw a river otter, a great blue heron and a breeding pair of downy woodpeckers. Lisa is a fabulous host and provided a Facetime tour of the house, which was so helpful. She was VERY responsive to questions and made me feel welcome to contact her again. The house layout is so great, you can see the river from the entire bottom floor and most of the upper floor. It's warm and comfortable and decorated beautifully. I was sad to leave early as my dog was sick, but I will look forwardto returning!
