Clean house by nice lake!

Everything about this was easy and convenient, from communication with Joni to its sweet location just steps from a lake. My family of four were plenty comfortable with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would stay again!

A great house!

We gathered with family and had a wonderful time at Joni's house. She's a great host, responsive and helpful. The house is very comfortable and truly had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. The lake is beautiful. We went swimming and kayaking, enjoyed the grill and fire pit, and hung out on the screened-in porch. It was everything we were hoping for, and we would love to return!

Lovely lake getaway

Joni's place was absolutely perfect for a quiet lake getaway. We were a group of four and had ample room in the house to hang out, cook, do yoga, and play board games. The lake is so close that it's easy to pop over for a quick swim or kayak anytime. Joni was very communicative and eager to help when we needed anything. We had a great time and are already talking about plans to come back.

The stay was beautiful a little miscellaneous items, its a 3 and a half bedroom the drive was pretty long with the weather conditions through the mountains the house is at the top of the mountains the closest store is 15 minutes everything is priced up because it was the only store and you definitely have to be careful roads are small and if you love kayaking they have a lake with 2 kayaks its very quiet nice house, kitchenware they have everything you will need.

Shelter through the storm

We rented this cozy cottage for a XC ski weekend, and a major snow storm blew in for one of the days. This didn't damper our spirits, though. We played games, made hot cocoa, and explored the frozen lake right across the street (and were able to make it up to Notchview for some tremendous XC skiing the following day).

Cordial and Comfortable Cottage

GREAT COTTAGE! This is our second year renting this cottage at Lake Ashmere. The beach for the “off shore” cottages is a 1 minute walk. You can swim, kayak and savor the sun. The cottage itself is a lovely oasis for reading and resting. The air conditioning is a big bonus on hot summer days and the washer/dryer allows you to pack lightly for your vacation. The cottage was equipped with some fun items, such as a 1000 piece puzzle that worked very well to distract us on a rainy day. The kitchen is also well stocked and has basic spices so you can easily cook. Although the cottage borders 143, we never noticed any noise. We plan to come back next year!

Soooo Great!

Joni is the most gracious host. She called to make sure I was comfortable and was in touch throughout my 8 day stay. I asked her if she had a blender in the house and she immediately had one delivered by Amazon within a day! The house is clean, welcoming and stocked with everything one would need for a "feel like a home" stay. The neighborhood is charming. It is about 300 yards from the house to the lake. The pleasant street is about 1/3 mile long, so one can safely walk anytime day or night. The beds were super cushy and the bedding includes quilts and many blankets to keep warm. The house is well built and sound proof-in fact I was resting on my bed and couldn't hear someone calling for me from the living room. Thank you, Joni, for making my trip really a total pleasure!

Lake Getaway

This was a great quiet getaway from the City (Boston) and still be able to social distance. With COVID19 in mind, this house checked all the key boxes! *A full size kitchen with all the essentials (including a coffee maker & a Keurig). *WIFI, AC, TV, a W/D, and an enclosed sunporch. *There's an outdoor (gas) grill for use. The house is about a block away to the private Lake! You can swim or kayak in it. If you are an open water swimmer, I would recommend bring a buoy, to keep you save from the boats. -The Mass MoCa Museum is a 40 min drive (to N.Adams). -Pittsfield is a 20 min drive. Unfortunately, the few days we were there, Tropical Storm Isaias joined in on the fun and we lost power. Joni was a great host. Informed us where the candles and flashlights were. She checked on us in the morning & kept us apprised on the power outage. The house is perfect for a family or couple retreat. We look forward to going back!

Relaxing

My husband and I stayed with our adult daughters and their spouses and there was plenty of room. It's a very comfortable home with 4 bedrooms. It is right across the street from a very pretty lake with a small beach which we were lucky enough to have to ourselves. There were also kayaks for our use which we used several times. The house is also just about 15 minutes away from a beautiful waterfall you can see with a very quick hike.
