About this house rental
Windsor Cottage is a relaxing, lakeside retreat located on Windsor Lake in North Adams, MA where you will enjoy your own private waterfront! You will feel like you are in the middle of the forest, yet you are in walking distance to the town, Mass MoCA and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts as well as many bars and restaurants. In addition, it is a 10 minute drive to Williamstown, Williams College and the Clark Art Museum. Wander through ancient forests on a hike up the tallest mountain in Massachusetts, Mt. Greylock. Visit several nearby treetop adventure parks or go white water rafting on the Deerfield River. The 24 acre lake offers non-motorized boating, swimming and spectacular fishing. A row boat, a canoe, 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards are available for you to explore the lake and take in the views of the Hoosac and Appalachian Mountain ranges, including Mt. Greylock. On Wednesday evenings in July & August you can sit on your deck and enjoy concerts that are held in the pavilion across the lake. There is a public swimming area and a playground across the lake as well. The home offers a large great room for relaxing and dining, 2 cozy electric fireplaces, a well equipped full kitchen for all of your cooking needs, one and a half baths, comfortable beds, a walkout basement family room, a huge deck and a spectacular screened in porch where you can relax the night away or take a nap on a unique, twin sized porch swing.

Stunning cottage on a lake that is home to the city's beach and public fishing areas. No motorized boats are permitted (it is a small lake), which allowed us to safely enjoy quiet paddles around the water, and a quiet porch and deck. Loved that there were extra rooms to get away when we needed some quiet time too. Our toddler grandson loved the playgrounds across the pond. We all took advantage of the proximity to museums and landmarks. Such a wonderful stay! Terri & Jay are amazing hosts!

Terri and Jay were very helpful. The house was terrific with a well- equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and plenty of space. I used the kayak each morning and we enjoyed sunsets from the deck each night.

Absolutely charming and well kempt. Hosts communicative and available and attention to details throughout. Loved the lake and paddleboards and morning coffee on the deck. Great for family of 6 for gathering and meals

The location of this lake cottage can't be beat. Our kids loved playing in the lake, there is a park nearby, the summer concert series on Wednesday nights was a nice bonus. We hiked from the house on the lovely trails right around the lake and really enjoyed the views of the hills and the lake from our cottage windows. The hosts were really responsive and helpful and we really appreciated their hospitality. The game room on the lower level has the potential to be amazing. We adults headed down there most nights to play some card and darts. The owners have given it a relaxed, beachy decor and feel. We purchased some new dart tips for future guest to enjoy! We did find it hard to be there a week with 8 people and no washer or dryer. A dryer would be a great addition as we had wet kids swim gear that didn't dry well in summer humidity. And travelling from out of state and needing to provide sheets and towels was a challenge as well. We forgot hand towels for the kitchen and had to use a bath towel we had brought for one of the kids. Despite these few things all of us enjoyed our time in North Adams immensely and would gladly stay here again.
