Pioneer Valley: soggiorni in alloggi al lago

Diane’s lake front studio was just perfect for my little staycation. The bed was very comfy, kitchen was stocked with all the needed cutlery, and although we had some unplanned snow this weekend, the three season screened in porch provided a nice location to just sit and read or listen to the birds singing throughout the day. It has a little space heater that makes it relatively comfy when it wasn’t windy. That combined with a sweater and provided blankets kept me entirely comfortable. While I used it for a little personal getaway, I can see it being perfect for a little couples getaway as well! I look forward to having the chance to stay again once the weather warms up for real 😄

A wonderful stay — Moonstone is charming and full of soul, with a deck right up on the lake’s edge. Beautiful scenery and a quick drive to many places. Woods nearby to walk in and provided kayaks make this spot great for nature lovers. Mighty was communicative and responsive, the cottage was filled with handwritten notes giving us any info we needed. Lots of personal touches and plants made it cozy. Good amenities and a little bigger than I thought from the pictures!

We had a wonderful long weekend at Elle’s house. The bedrooms and living spaces were thoughtfully laid out and decorated beautifully. A short drive to lots of little cafés and hiking trails. We appreciated the quiet solitude of this little getaway in the Berkshires, and the ping pong table too. We didn’t get to use the lake (snow in April!) but hope to return to try again!

This house was great for a winter weekend getaway! Great Barrington, Lenox, and Stockbridge are all adorable towns to visit and are a 15 - 30m drive away. The house itself was cozy and had all the amenities we needed. Shay was very responsive. Something to know about the area is that ride shares and cabs are hard to come by, so having a car that fit everyone we were traveling with was crucial for our group to get around town.

We had a lovely time at this place, it’s a bit small but we’ll appointed and you can’t beat the location, right on the river! The views out the back were incredible every day. This didn’t impact us but be aware the upstairs loft area is probably better for children and a tall adult would feel pretty cramped up there. As a rather short crew my family had no problems 😂. Would definitely stay again.

We loved Nathania's house! The views were beautiful! It was a great house to have local family over for a gathering (which was the purpose of our visit). We had some snow and ice during our stay, but Nathania and her husband were unexpectedly there, and ensured the snow and ice was dealt with the best they could. We definitely hope to rent again!

Daphne is a thoughtful and wonderful host. The property was clean, comfortable and very well appointed with everything I would need, especially in the kitchen. I highly recommend this 5-star property. It is quiet, peaceful and full of nature everywhere the eye can see.

This was our second time to stay. It had a gorgeous view surrounded by beautiful trees. It was so peaceful and relaxing with everything we needed. James is so easy to work with and very responsive. Highly recommended!

The location and space were great! I worked remotely during most of my stay and was very comfortable with my set up. The dining table was a perfect desk, with good lighting and wifi! Slept well due to it being so quiet at night. A positive experience overall.

we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful inviting cozy place. On top of the having most any amenities one can think of, the place is situated at a great place to explore Western Massachusetts from. we got all the help we needed to get around during our stay, places to visit, the better places to eat etc. I will definitely recommend my friend to stay there. thank you much Jill and Steve for creating this place.

Can’t say enough good things about this find near Jiminy Peak in the Berkshires! Stayed for three nights while skiing two days over presidents weekend. Hosts were very thoughtful and flexible. Left cookies and s’mores kit which were a nice touch. During snowstorm steps to the unit and walking areas were kept shoveled and salted. For us and our two teenagers this offered the perfect alternative to pricey on mountain lodging and was only about a 13 minute drive. There was even a bonus game room which could probably serve as a small additional bedroom if someone had the need, it certainly has room for a twin air mattress. Our two kids shared the queen bed with minimal fighting, but that would’ve been our back up plan😂. Anyway, they were super responsive, check in and check out was easy and will certainly look to stay again if we get up there to ski again this year !

Thanks for the host making this place like home. Furnitures are well organized. My partner and I love the sofa in the living room. There is a big sofa and single arm chair sofa. It’s good for staying with partner to kiss cuddle and more. We love the well organized kitchen. Very well-equipped. They even have some stock of food, coffee and tea bags just in case if you are hungry in mid night. We came here for skiing trip. It’s just 15 min to Mt Snow, 1.5h to Okemo. Stratton is also around this area. Great location for mountain staycation.

Nice, clean studio apartment-style room. Comfy bed. Very clean. Nice owners.

My stay was AMAZING! You can really see and feel how the host took time to make the home cozy and beautifully detailed. It was mind blowing to see how every part of the home was utilized without feeling cramped or cluttered. Definitely a great place for friends to come together. I was shocked to see how well the entire home was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The host provided superb comfort and convenience. Pictures do no justice for this zen home, you have to experience it in person. If you’re looking for a tranquil and beautiful place to visit; LOOK NO FURTHER!

This was a great place to stay. Jeri was a wonderful host - responsive, kind, warm, and friendly. The place was beautiful, and all the amenities made the stay very pleasant. Fresh eggs and cream in the fridge, along with chickens right outside really set this place apart. Wonderful place, wonderful stay, amazing host.

Very cute little place to stay and have a cozy weekend. Definitely recommend Campbell’s Falls (A hike John recommended to us)

This place is BETER than the photos!! We were surprised by how big it was. Everything worked great, loved the Movie Theme across all the rooms.

loved this cozy cabin for a snowed in weekend. the setting is beautiful and the house is completely stocked with everything you could need for quiet time with family. we came with two small kids and it was well suited for them. hoping to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake. thanks Scott for being such a phenomenal and responsive host amid the crazy snow storm.

I loved staying here! My boyfriend and I would definitely come back!

Thanks for much for an amazing stay! Sonya took extra steps to ensure we enjoyed our time here. It was a cozy little cottage and the perfect little getaway. We will be back!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The hosts thought of everything and made us feel right at home. We could not have been more pleased and would highly recommend this property.

If you are looking for simplicity (which we were) this is the perfect place to. I’ve always wanted to stay at a lake house. We couldn’t have asked for more. Serene, tranquil, beautiful are the proper descriptions of the house and the area. We came to Connecticut to visit my daughter and family and they ended up coming to our place instead. Jason was extremely helpful when needed. We would definitely stay there again!

Everything was beautiful and relaxing. Our daughter’s graduation was in Longmeadow, MA. The Congamdon House was only a short 26 minute drive to the dorm rooms and ceremony. Thank you Catherine for sharing your families home while our family had such an important weekend.

We stayed with the family (5) in late April. The place is absolutely perfect for families, and the canoes for going on the lake are the cherry on the cake.
