Quiet rustic cottage with shared lake access

Welcome to Lake Buel! This recently renovated cottage has been an old favorite for generations since the 1950’s. Abutting a dramatic sloping hill, this unique spot offers privacy on a dead end road and is a 2 minute walk to the water. Bring your non motorized boat and park it at the shared dock or use our canoe and life jackets for your aquatic adventures. All are welcome to experience this space and the surrounding areas.

Lovely lake house at the end of a long private road, perfect for a quiet getaway, close to all kinds of hiking and other natural attractions. Our hosts were super friendly and responsive. Highly recommended.

A quiet, peaceful oasis

I enjoyed my stay very much. It was so quiet and peaceful. I loved having a stovetop, oven, microwave, and full fridge for cooking my meals. Owners clearly care about guests having a good experience. They responded promptly when I contacted them prior to and during my stay.

True cabin experience , We were so lucky to come across this gem and the couple of nights spent there were not nearly long enough. Super helpful owners and although there were other cabins nearby we felt very secluded and relaxed, never crowded

Very clean and well taken care of, quick walk to the lake (though it was very buggy in the area!), secluded, nice and easy drive to Great Barrington or Southfield, etc. Lindsey and Steven were incredibly responsive and kind and left us a little welcome gift and some helpful tips in the form of notes. We especially loved the little "porch" that could have it's screened windows opened for cool mornings with coffee. Just a note as your perusing/preparing for your trip that this property is not wheel-accessible (stroller or otherwise) and that coffee/tea were not provided (shower toiletries were though!)

Perfect Retreat

Our son and his family enjoyed their stay immensely!! This was a repeat visit from last year. While everything was great last year, they loved the work that has been done to make the place even better. They are hoping to return again next summer!!

Winter Get Away

I am originally from Western Mass, and was looking for a quiet get away for my fiancé and I for my birthday weekend. This more than fit the bill, we had many romantic nights in front of the fire (big y or tractor supply good for indoor wood). The cabin was delightful, quaint. And it was so quiet this time of year with no one else around us, which was just what I was looking for. Our hosts were great, made everything very easy for check in and check out and were easily valve through the App. Perfect winter getaway.

Beautiful, cozy getaway

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! There was just enough room to have together time yet also have our separate spaces. The lake side neighborhood was beautiful to walk around and it was wonderful to know we had the option to canoe. Lindsey thoughtfully made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. If I find myself headed back to the Berkshires, I’d stay here again!

Weekend Bliss

Great place located on Lake Buel, felt welcomed immediately by amount of communication and information pre arrival. Upon arrival we were greeted by a personalized note and a treat from the owners. It was relaxing and we enjoyed the area immensely. As a native to the Berkshires It was a real joy spending time in an area that I don't often get to visit. So much history, culture, and charm.

This cottage was perfect for my son’s family. Clean, well equipped, just the right size for their family of four. The property manager left a sweet treat in the refrigerator for them…so kind! They liked the cottage so much that we have already booked it for another stay!

Exactly what we needed

This is a wonderfully simple cabin that has everything you need and nothing you don’t. It is cozy, comfortable, and charming. We were here for two days and managed to swim in the lake twice, canoe once, s’mores over the fire pit, and relax a ton. Great hosts who checked in and made sure we knew the lay of the land. We really loved this spot and will be back.

Peaceful and perfect

We enjoyed a quiet, relaxing stay and loved everything about this house! It’s steps away from an amazing lake and minutes from Great Barrington. Owners were super attentive & responsive and left us delicious pastries upon our arrival. We enjoyed the canoe and brought our own paddle boards for added fun. The kitchen is well equipped and the house is quaint and clean. We would definitely come back and stay again. Thank you so much for an amazing stay.

Great Hosts, Great Location

Steve and Lindsey were super responsive and also proactive. We stayed for about one month. They provided a canoe and when they heard we had friends coming up gave us access to second one. When the weather turned unseasonably cold this summer they brought over space heaters in case we needed. The house was well equipped and the location is an easy drive to Great Barrington and the various cultural sites in the Berkshires and Columbia County.

Nice Stay in the Woods

We only stayed for two nights, but this two bedroom cottage was perfect for the four of us. The bedrooms were small yet comfortable. There was plenty of space for us to spread out in the open living/dining/kitchen area. We were also impressed how clean the cottage was on our arrival. Parking for two cars was a bit tricky since there was not much of a driveway, but the garage was available.
