We love the deck and sun room with their excellent waterfront views. There's ample room around the dock for mooring the kayaks, plus paddleboards and swim mat. Great place for kids.

Wonderful stay at the Lake

We had a wonderful stay at the lake. Bobs place was as described. We were 5 adults and a toddler. There was plenty of space for everyone. The sun room with the view of the lake was great! The two fireplaces were helpful and cozy as we got some snow during our April visit. We’d absolutely stay here again. Thanks Bob!!

Thanksgiving Family Gathering 2025

We had a fabulous weekend. I rent a place in different areas every year for my family. We loved the area. It was our first time visiting the Berkshires and will definitely return some. We hiked to Laura's Tower with the grand kids. We had a little snow, the kids built a snowman in the yard. We decorated ugly sweater cookies. Everyone had a wonderful time. The only very minor criticism was there was no laundry detergent, two rolls of toilet paper, small amount of dish soap which we had no problem with purchasing our own had we known in advance. It's the only rental I've ever been to that the beds were not made and was asked to wash and dry all towels and sheets prior to leaving at 11:00 am. Difficult to do without detergent. Otherwise it is a wonderful home, a great area, fabulous trip!! I would highly recommend!!

Amazing views of the lake

A simply stunning sun porch looking out over the lake. It warms up nicely when the sun shines in the fall since you are facing south. I love the heated floor in the bathroom. The master bed is a little soft for me, But the other bed was perfect—plenty of covers and pillows. The laundry worked perfectly. The kitchen is stocked with all kinds of cooking utensils but not food, ditto fridge, so make sure you do your shopping. Check-out requires leaving it clean, so if you have a large group, this might be a problem, but we were just two folks. A dock and kayaks are available. I bought a sit-on kayak because the kayaks are pretty low quality. The lake in the fall was very peaceful, but some jet skis came out one day, so perhaps it isn't so idyllic in the summer. I would come back in the fall in a heartbeat. I had a wonderful 6-week stay.

Wonderful Lake House

Great location on the lake, we enjoyed eating meals on the enclosed deck and watching rowing practice in the evenings. The house was well appointed! My wife and I were staying with our daughter, son-in-law and their 14 month old. It worked wonderfully for us. They enjoyed taking a kayak out on the lake while we stayed with our granddaughter. All in all, a delightful experience!

Lake house end of summer getaway

My family of 3 plus extended family of 5 had a lovely stay at the lake house. The house is located on the the best part of Lake Onota, and had plenty of space for all us. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding (our own personal SUP that we brought with us), and sitting by the fire at the edge of the water. The house was clean and organized just as described. Centrally located, so short trips to Mt Greylock, Williamstown, North Adams (Mass MoCA), or Lenox (the Mount, Tanglewood) , are easy. The Owner responded to my questions promptly. We would absolutely stay here again!

Summer Visit Even Better!!

We had visited this gorgeous house for several days in the winter and just HAD to come back for a summer stay of seven days. The house was very clean both times, Bob was very helpful and answered all of my questions. There were plenty of towels, linens, water activities/equipment and a beautiful lake to enjoy just steps away. We brought a pontoon boat that just added to the fun and took advantage of the dock. Great place to visit, but would be even better to LIVE there:)

seating issues

I loved the house. My only complaint was on the porch the table chairs were too tall, and the wicker furniture was too low. At 76 my legs swell when they dangle off hard seats, and then it was terribly hard for me and my elderly friends to heave ourselves up off of the wicker couch and chairs. Other than that it was great.

Bare Bones, no amenities. Bring your supplies!

We stay in many rentals across the USA so we're put back when there were no basic needs available in this rental. Warning, they have the artificial smelling plug in's all over the house. It was so strong 2 of us had headaches. We unplugged all of them in the house upon arrival. No hairdryer, extra toilet paper, extra paper towels, saran wrap, foil, sugar and more. No rolling pin (we made apple pie) and borrowed from a neighbor. We went to the store first thing in the AM to gather supplies we assumed would be available. They ask you to clean your dishes but left no dishwasher liquid/pods. Our beds weren't made when we arrived and we got in very late which was a bummer. The check out rules state you are to wash your linens and put them back on your bed folded. We left at 5am so that was not an option and I found a very odd request. The bottom room has a LOUD de-humidifier that didn't do much to help the smell. The room is damp smelling all the time. We didn't spend any time down there. The lighting is very low. We moved lights from the bedrooms to play games at night. Now for the positive, the view is great. We loved waking up and having coffee in the sun room. We loved being with our friends so the trip was very good. I would not rent this again basically because we like to cook and entertain on vacation. Plus, we flew in from the West coast and need to have our rentals include the basics.

Right on the water!

Although there are minor tweaks to improve comfort, the house was great and location and views were excellent. One suggestion for the owner would be to put a curtain rod across living room doors leading to sun room so they could be closed to keep the living room cool on summer afternoons. The beds were very comfy and all was clean and pretty. Advice to future guests - bring EVERYTHING but linens, even salt and pepper and aluminum foil. I have found most air b&bs do have these basics but maybe they had been left by earlier guests and not the owners.

Fun Even in the Rain

We had a mix of sun and rain. We managed to escape all but a little rain at our concert at Tanglewood. We enjoyed a day of sun on the lake, with my husband casting away With his fishing poles on the dock. When rain became continual, we still enjoyed the gorgeous view from the comfy upstairs screened in sun room. Board games made the afternoon fun. Those of you with children will find the house delightfully stocked with games and puzzles. If the sun cooperates there are kayaks and a closetful of water floats and toys. I don't think any age renters or families would be disappointed on their VRBO decision.

Wonderful Stay

Our group of 8 adults had a wonderful stay at the lakehouse. The neighborhood was quiet and the lake was idyllic. All communication with the Bob was prompt and he was very helpful. He even went the extra mile and agreed to mail us a shirt that one of our group left behind. The house was clean and is as represented in the photos. The carpet in the master bedroom, and the rooms downstairs could use some updating, but everything was clean. Renters should be aware of the policy that you have to wash all sheets before your 11:00 am check out. This was a bit difficult since we had used 6 beds.

Wonderful lakefront location with caveats, 4.5 stars

Bob's house has an amazing location, right on one of the easier access points for Lake Onota. Several of us were casually fishing off the dock that weekend with our gear, and I would say we caught several dozens of fish. We also used several of the kayaks available, and they were generally in good shape for some peaceful paddling on the lake. We had a memorable time given the house amenities available, and we also used part of a day to rent a pontoon boat at the nearby marina, which was a great choice. The location is really impressive, and the house had good value, especially for early June when we visited. The house itself served its purpose well, with features like a grill, a nice room overlooking the lake with a great view, and a full kitchen. There were several bedrooms, and one room full of bunks downstairs, which allows flexibility for many families. The bedroom downstairs was notably colder than the upstairs part of the house, so just need to plan accordingly there. As noted in the listing, the house is not fully stocked regarding cleaning and some cooking items. While understandable, it can be difficult to figure out everything you will need, as things like dish washing soap were not available. You are a short drive away from shops like Walmart, so can always take the trip if needed. Despite our great stay overall, there are some additional items worth mentioning that left it less than perfect. First is that this listing has quite a few rules more than the typical listing on sites like these. These rules are generally well-communicated ahead of time, which is perfectly acceptable, but it is worth doing your homework. However, there was an issue with the house's dryer, which meant we could not efficiently dry our linens + towels as laid out in the house rules. The host acknowledged the issue and was great at communicating, but he was still expecting us to complete the majority of the washing/drying task before we checked out. I found this unfair, as this was clearly out of our hands and could not be simply fixed with a minor adjustment, with a helper only coming in the last couple hours of our stay. We did our best, and there was consensus that we did enough, but it just added stress and brought an unpleasant end to a great stay. Some upkeep was less than ideal, as the lawn was not cut recently (a misunderstanding), and other TLC needed. Overall, I'd give 4.5 stars for my stay, and expect this is a blip in a wonderful 5-star listing.
