Nice, clean, well-appointed home, responsive host, tricky location
First trip to the Berkshires and we wanted a spot with easy lake access as well as good access to many towns. This house had that, you just can’t walk anywhere from the house, or take a walk bc of the road it is on. It is clean and well-appointed. Mattress in one bedroom is a bit wobbly, but other beds comfortable. So great to be able to bring dogs. It is not directly on a lake(have to cross the road), but does have easy access that is a 5 minute walk to a sweet little private beach with nice neighbors. The kayak, canoe and paddle board in the shed across the street are great amenities! The house is on a very busy road with constant traffic - including 18 wheelers. It makes it hard to sit outside and enjoy the trees, lake and nature. Kevin is a responsive host.

Waterfront house across a busy road
I must say I have mixed impression from our stay in the house. The house maintenance is impeccable. Everything is updated, working, sparkling clean and has the exact amount of kitchenware, spices, etc to make a dinner. Feels good to be inside. (The grill needs to be cleaned to produce a stronger flame). We also used a canoe on the lake, and it was perfect. The description of the property slightly deviates from the actual set up, however. After reading it, it is hard to imagine a highway (rt 8) with 18-wheelers passing by at 50mph between the house and the dock every 5 minutes. At least we were not prepared for that. Probably a more accurate description would prepare us better.

Perfect Get Away
I spent a delightful week at this adorable lake house. Our host, Kevin, could not have been more helpful. Check-in was a breeze and he was very responsive to texts whenever I had a question. The house is as presented and very comfortable and attractive. We love to cook, and the kitchen was well appointed. I was worried one would not be able to see Shaw Pond when the trees are in leaf, but there was a spectacular view! And we had a chance to take the (on site) Canoe for a spin. Very convenient to Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival!!! One caveat - do not put the address in google! Follow Kevin's directions. The house is right off route 8. The driveway is a little dicey as it has suffered from rain storms, no doubt. But nice to be able to park in a garage. Thanks Kevin and Jodi! I can hardly wait to come back!!!

Cute updated home with lake access
Had a lovely time at this lake house. The lake access was a plus and the house was well stocked with water accessories and food items. Otis is a short distance from Lee and Lenox providing easy Berkshire access. Having a garage to park the car in was also nice. The only downside is the relatively poor condition of the driveway / shared road the house is on. The neighborhood is made up of single lane dirt roads that have suffered from some wet weather. All in all would definitely recommend.

Berkshire get away
Kevin was a great host. The property was beautiful and Updated. All the linens and towels were clean and ready for us to use. He was great with communication and quick to respond to any message. Our pups had a wonderful place to stay with us and were completely welcomed.The best part was the view from the window in the family room. It is absolutely gorgeous with all the fall foliage and The lake. Would absolutely stay again

Excellent Stay
The place is very beautiful and cozy and located right across the lake. The house is well stocked and well equipped (canoe, kayak, fishing rods). Kevin, the host, was super responsive. We had a great time staying at his place. We will definitely look to rent here again next year.

This is a cozy little house with a great view of Shaw Pond.
The house has a spacious living room with a fireplace and a large window with a view of the pond. The kitchen is very large which makes it a good place for gathering. The bedrooms and beds are comfortable, and it is so nice that they are all made up , so no need to bring your own linens. There is one bathroom with good fixtures and a large size washer and dryer.

Everything you want in a beautiful setting
The house on Shaw Pond in Becket has all the conveniences anyone would need to fully enjoy themselves in the heart of the Berkshires. From a fully equipped kitchen, to watercraft and fishing gear, to spacious and comfortable bedrooms nestled in a cool corner of the woods, the home is the epitome of peace. We enjoyed how everything we wanted to do in the Berkshires was no more than 30 minutes away by car. But it was hard to tear ourselves from the pond--it was lovely. Thank you!

FANTASTIC LAKE GETAWAY
This is an AMAZING Lakeside getaway ♥️♥️♥️LOVE LOVE LOVE this *****SPACIOUS Newly Remodeled 3 BR house. With LAKE FRONT 🌄access & a 4 seater Canoe! (Life Jackets included) *A Shed lakeside Provides Most Amenities needed for fun & Relaxtion on their Private Dock🏊🏻‍♀️🌄 The house is located directly across from the lake and with an easily marked path on the side it takes you straight down to the shed. If that’s too much , you can easily drive (literally 30 second drive) to the Boating Access Parking lot right next to the shed! Steps away. Also as an added **BONUS**! There is a Public (very clean HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE)! Restroom 😀 I was able to have my aunt who is wheelchair bound come visit by the lakeside and have access to a restroom!! The House itself was WELL equipped with everything we NEEDED & because of that the owner had the weekend remters cancel and we got a discount fir staying over this weekend 😀😀 THANKS 🙏🏻🙏🏻…KEVIN & Family for allowing us to enjoy this Beautiful Lake Side Home! We are having a peaceful and wonderful (well needed) vacation !

Perfect little getaway!
My husband and I stayed at Kevin's property 7/2/21-7/5/21 with our 2 boys and my mother in law. We had a wonderful time despite weather not agreeing with us. Kevin's home is spotless, brand new with all items necessary for a weekend getaway. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped. There's a beautiful view from the living room/kitchen windows of shaw pond, which is right across the street. Down by the pond there is Kevin's shed, canoe, tiki torches, chairs, firepit with wood, picnic table which make for fun for the whole family. The surrounding town is also great with many things to do/ see. Kevin was very responsive and helpful answering every question we had very thoroughly. Overall a great experience and highly recommend for a peaceful little family trip.
