About this cottage rental
This A-frame cottage has private waterfront access with two single kayaks and a canoe. A new 12,000 btu air conditoner keeps much of the main floor cool in summer. When the crisp Fall temperatures hit, the house has a proper forced hot air heating system w/ heat registers in the floors and a touchscreen thermostat on the wall, across from the bathroom. You have a master bedroom downstairs with a full sized bed, an upstairs bedroom with 2 twin beds and a loft area upstairs that has a pull out futon bed. There is 1 bathroom with a shower and a large living area with a futon that can sleep more people. A deck provides a beautiful view of the woods and the waterfront. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and utensils. (Please Note: There is no dishwasher, garbage disposal or washer/dryer. And due to allergies in the family, we do not allow pets at the A-Frame.) Our home has been rented in the summer to Tanglewood musicians for the last 20 years without interruption. The main floor is carpeted and the loft and bedroom upstairs have throw rugs.
(Please note that the propane fireplace in the main room is decorative only - due to insurance regulations. The 12,000 btu air conditioner and plenty of fans keeps your summer time cool. The central forced hot air heating system keeps the house quite comfortable in the Spring and Fall)
If you are into Yoga, you may know that world renowned Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health is 10 minutes by car and a half hour canoe ride from the cottage. Yes, you can actually canoe/kayak to Kripalu from the cottage. It is an amazing experience!

My only negative comments are that the access to the house from the road is rutted and unpaved. While we watched our steps carefully it should be made clear in the listing this property would not work for folks with balance or mobility issues.
The sole bathroom was likely described in the listing( and it went over my head) but the stairs to the loft are steep so middle of the night bathroom needs are tough.
The only suggestion would be to have a measuring cup to help with cooking

This a-frame cabin is lovely - a quiet location, water view, so close to Tanglewood. It had everything we needed for our spring get away.

This is a great place! In fact, I don’t want too many people to find out about it because we hope to return! It’s a simple A-Frame home that served us as a base for activities in the area. The location is ideal for doing things in many nearby towns. We hiked a bit of the Appalachian Trail in October Mountain State Forest. We went up to Laura Lookout Tower, accessed from the town of Stockbridge. We walked up a ski hill at Ski Butternut in Great Barrington and enjoyed the quiet of just a few other people being there. We also went to a Farmers’ Market in the town of Lee and enjoyed yummy outdoor dining in Lenox. Stockbridge Bowl is also a gorgeous lake to explore! We canoed all around, checking out the houses we could see from the water. The kids had fun building with sticks in the woods and swinging on the board swing under the house. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the house stayed plenty warm for our mid-October visit. The home also has a great table for family meals and games, plus enough couch seating for watching a movie together in the evening. The beds were good, and plenty of linens and blankets were available. The owner was also accessible and responsive to messages, though no problems arose during our stay (just had questions about activities in the area).
