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.

New in 2022, we have an eco friendly mini-split air conditioning system and new for 2023 a stacked digital washer and dryer unit and a newly renovated spa like bathroom.

The house was amazing and a great, New England Get Away. We had planned it just to be a base for a busy week but a change in plans had us anchored there more than anticipated. There were very generous outdoor water activities and lots of games for indoor activities!

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.
