My husband and I were looking for a nice lakefront home to relax with our 2 boys ages 12 and 14. We also have membership to six flags and this property is within 20-30 minutes to the New England- Agawam location.
The space is a little small but very quaint and VERY CLEAN. The kitchen looks like it was recently remodeled with a nice size gas stove and oven.
After going through rough medical issues this past year- I want a place where I can relax and enjoy and this place gave us just that. It was peace.
Having coffee in the deck each morning overlooking a serene and beautiful lake was an amazing start to each day.
The area is not touristy which we liked a LOT. It is very quiet. The property is close to a Stop n Shop for any of your grocery needs and there's a lot of restaurants to choose from and a great antique village.
We were greeted with a gift basket from the owners which included a pancake mix and syrup from a local farm.
There are 2 bedrooms but only the main bedroom have AC (for those booking in the summer). The property has a portable fan available though.
The property overall is an amazing place. The only thing to consider when booking the place is the long steps to get down to the property itself (70 steps total) So we got a lot of exercise going up and down to bring our stuff. If you have issues with stairs- this is not the place for you. We will definitely be back and are already looking forward to next summer!

My daughter and I enjoyed this charming lake house with such an extraordinary view!! It was clean, cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. We were greeted by a lovely and thoughtful welcome package that contained a delicious pancake mix and syrup which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was very much appreciated as we got in late at night without breakfast food with us for the next morning. We enjoyed the convenient location and would not hesitate to stay again were it not for the exceptionally long and inconvenient staircase which was rather stressful for us. I had booked this home before any reviews were published so I had no idea about the 70 stairs in total. I do think Evolve should be much clearer and more detailed in their description so prospective renters can make an informed decision if this is the right rental for them given the unusual amount of stairs. It was very stressful going down the stairs at night, in the rain and carrying up suitcases. I would still recommend this house as the view is really magnificent and it makes for a very special, peaceful stay but renters do need to be aware and okay with 70 stairs. I would highly recommend bringing a flashlight as well. The contact person, Marilyn was lovely. I had reached out to her prior to and during my stay and she was very kind and responsive. Were it not for the stairs, I would happily give the rental 5 stars- it is a special property and we enjoyed the house itself and the very much. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your lovely home, Pam and Lexie

Our family enjoyed our time at this rental. We stayed here for two nights. It's a very quaint, clean and nicely decorated cabin. I missed the road entrance initially so know it is the dirt road :) There are 70 steps to walk down to the cabin (and back up to your car) but the view makes up for it. There is a railing to hold on to and a bench about halfway if you need to take a break. It is well stocked with pots/pans/plates/etc. to cook there. There are two air conditioners (master bedroom, living room) and a box fan we used in the 2nd bedroom. The towels are in the master bedroom closet. There are a variety of board games (1st floor) and a wii in the basement/lower level with a nice size TV. There is one bathroom so coordination is important if you have four guests. Check-in and check-out was easy. They sent us an email prior with all the information we needed to check-in/out. They also have a book on the table explaining where to eat, reminder of the wi-fi, restaurants they recommend and other important information which I truly appreciate! We didn't get a chance to check out the kayaks. This is a great location if you plan to attend the Big E--only 25 minutes away. My favorite was enjoying breakfast while overlooking the lake. They have a balcony with a table and chairs too. This truly is a great getaway. Thank you!
