Wonderful property accurately depicted in listing (kitchen was better, actually). Don was responsive & patient at all times including while VRBO resolved issues with their reservation system (not his fault). Had everything we could have wanted with many thoughtful touches. Enjoyed kayaking, swimming, & the nearby state forest. Very comfortable for a group of five to vacation together. Highly recommend.

The house was very nice. The photos don't do it justice. Was perfect for us and the access and views to the water were fantastic. Don was a very responsive and helpful host. Would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable house right on the lake. Incredible sunrise views right from your bed. Conveniently located between Jimney and the heart of Pittsfield. We’d definitely rent again.

We were looking for a last minute getaway for our anniversary weekend. We knew it was going to be a rainy one so we wanted a porch with a water view and a living room with a fireplace to cozy up in with a good book. Don’s house delivered that and more. Great kitchen, porch and living room with plenty of places to relax. Large bedrooms and two well maintained bathrooms. The house is situated in a great spot on the lake and would definitely be great for a family vacation. Don was a great host, responsive to questions with easy check in and follow up at the end our stay.

This hidden gem was well-appointed, super clean and very comfy — perfect spot for a relaxing stay directly on Lake Pontoosuc. The kayaks and canoes were an added delight and we loved eating outside at the full size table on a grassy yard alongside the water. Our host was helpful and responsive at every step. Will definitely be recommending to others!

My two sisters, my very best childhood friend and I spent a fabulous (much needed) get away here on Pontoosuc Lake. We all needed to re connect and just spend time catching up and laughing, which we did a lot of. Such a beautiful house. We will definitely be back!!! Thanks Don for everything!!

Direct lakefront and a cozy well-appointed house made our Labor Day weekend with family a great time. The kayaks and peddle boat were in good condition and the outdoor swing was fun!

The house was situated on a lovely lake and we enjoyed every minute of it. The kitchen was small but functional. The sun room was lovely but very hot with no a/c in that room, though there was in most of the house. Clean and functional but one shower is tough. Many boating activities and available things (kayaks, canoes etc), Owner came by and was very nice and quite helpful. Again, the lake is beautiful and wonderful to swim in.

The "lakefront" location is beautiful and perfect, and Don always responded to questions quickly and was happy to share any info. he could about the neighborhood. and his home We were taken aback, however, because check-in is supposed to be "contact free" and it was not. Additionally,, the house did not seem "stocked and ready to go" (very short or no additional supply of various paper goods, bath soaps, also bbq gas not filled and no hot water in bathroom sink) when we arrived, which was disappointing to us.
Again, Don was eager to help in any way possible, but it was not the experience we had expected.

Treasured memories at the lake house
We just returned from a beautiful long weekend at Don’s lake house. Directly on Pontussuc Lake … warm water, a choice of kayaks, canoes and pedal boat. Enjoyed the peace of the lake at sunrise and sunset and Berkshire mountains surrounding the lake.
The house comfortably accommodates 5 adults. Cute French decor and a sunroom for morning coffee and happy hour. Close by the Berkshire attractions including Balance Rock and Shaker Village. A treasured spot for a relaxing getaway!

Beyond our best expectation!
Our entire family enjoyed a beautiful and relaxing stay at Don's Lakehouse. The house is whatever pictured and described, only nicer and more comfortable. Its evident that someone put their whole heart into making this vacation home a place you want to stay at; down to every last little detail. The outdoors was beyond our best expectation. The host was easy to deal with, accessible and we even got late check out at no extra charge! Another morning to enjoy the sun, the lake, the boats...

Great lake place!
We really enjoyed our time at Don’s beautiful lake house. The location is fabulous, the house has so much charm, the kitchen is well stocked (we cooked a lot), and we enjoyed the dock and paddle boat outings. Would highly recommend!

You can not beat this location. Spectacular views. A cute lake house with a farm house vibe.
Don was very nice to work with and was very good about communicating with us when I reached out to him. Thank you for letting us and our friends enjoy your place!

We visited with our 3 adult sons for a minivacation and had a BLAST!!!! We used the paddle boat and the canoes and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We finished the day with a campfire in the fire pit and roasted marshmallows!! How could it be better?!?

We loved this home. Having rented the property to attend a music festival, we found ourselves staying at the house later than expected each day because the place was so inviting and the view of the lake quite beautiful. We flew in from Chicago without much in hand. Fortunately, the house was well equipped. We hit a grocery and package store and were all set. It has a great location and a fantastic drive up Route 7, which had exquisite views of Greylock on the way to Williamstown and North Adams. Each of us thought the home and its location were impressive.

Great house – Fantastic Lake
Great place to relax & enjoy the lake. House is very clean & comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, nicely decorated throughout. Wonderful views from the sunporch & master bedroom. A/C was a plus for those hot muggy days. House is just steps away from the large dock where we had our morning coffee. There are built-in steps for easy access into the water for swimming. The water is clean & clear, you can see to the bottom – no tall lake grass . We enjoyed using the floats & kayaks provided as well as our own paddle boards. We were on the water for hours. Lots of boating activity but not crowded. We had a lot of fun – great vacation.

Wonderful lake house with gracious host!
We loved our stay. The lake is beautiful, the house is perfectly situated for taking advantage of all the lake has to offer, including great water, rope swing - and really appreciate the boats/kayaks available. House is large and comfortable and great for a long stay, with many fun features like old French style kitchen. The host is very communicative and accommodating. We would go back!

Walking into this house was like walking into a spread of the Country Home Magazine. It was charming and "well appointed". Lots of space for 6 people to spread out. Clean and situated on a point of the lake with a great view from the dock and the sunroom (my favorite). There are kayaks and a paddleboat to have fun on as well.

Don’s place is a great spot directly on Lake Pontoosuc, which is perfect for kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing. He was a responsive host and the place was clean upon arrival. We had a great time (even though the weather wasn’t perfect) and would recommend.
