Bedroom 1: Full Bed | Bedroom 2: Twin/Full Bunk Bed

Your cozy cabin getaway awaits, secluded in the woods of East Otis, with the lake just a 5-minute walk from the porch. Start your day walking out to the dock, coffee in hand, and enjoy the views accompanied by the fresh breeze blowing through your hair.

Stepping inside, you'll feel right at home in this quaint and inviting space. Brick and wood paneling line the interior, complemented by exposed wood beams on the ceiling, giving a rustic vibe to the charming home. The home offers high-speed WiFi, a 30-inch Smart TV, and a mini-split air conditioning system.

Kick off your shoes and sink into the sectional couch and relax by a roaring fire in the stone-encased fireplace. Whether you're ready to dive into a new novel or take an afternoon siesta, this will soon be your favorite spot to unwind all vacation.

Fix dinner for your family or friends in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy a meal together at the dining table. On warm days, fire up the grill and feast on burgers and corn on the cob.

When you've finished washing the dishes, head to the enclosed front porch where you'll find puzzles, board games, and cards galore. Finish a delightful vacation day by playing games with your friends and family before turning in for the night.

-- THE LOCATION --

You won't run out of places to hike and explore during your western Massachusetts vacation, with endless miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, and more. Visit Otis Reservoir Lake for swimming and a day by the beach, hike around the Appalachian Trail crossing, or go mountain biking.

For a day of cultural experiences and history, visit the Hancock Shaker Village, Bidwell House Museum, or Norman Rockwell Museum. Go to the theater at Shakespeare & Company or see the Berkshire Theater Group perform. Finish up with dinner at one of the many spots in The Berkshires, with every type of cuisine you could imagine available!

Sweet Cottage
Sweet cottage with a lovely screened in front porch and cozy living room. The kitchen is stocked with food in case you've forgotten something. The cottage is a few hundred yards from the lake, a perfect walk. Along with daytime, twilight is a wonderful time to meander down to the water; the lake is tranquil, ducks are out and about and the sun still glows. The owner is very responsive to all questions. The landscaping is artful and tender. Ferns are allowed to display their majesty and someone loves a small white pine enough to pull it back from the path by pinning it to a rock. Hummingbirds are frequent visitors to the feeders and the soft humming of their wings is delightful to hear while sitting on the front porch.

A magical stay in a loving cottage.
Are you looking for a vintage Western Mass/Berkshires experience? Look no further! Patty’s magic cottage was our spot for six glorious days in August of 2019. We have kids and a dog (reasonable fee). The house was so well appointed and “ready for anything.” We spent time at the lake (a 5 minute walk door to dock-also the state’s largest recreational lake!) and rented a boat. We enjoyed surrounding areas including Lee, Lenox, Stockbridge and Monterey. My part of the trip included time at Jacob’s Pillow—Becket is also a magic little town! Otis boasts a Farmers Market and nearby gas/grocery. A charming New England town center with all of the trappings of real 413 living. It is barely remote, but close enough to civilization and neighbors that my city kids weren’t in shock. I told Patty we’d be back to stay again for more hiking, shopping, and making of family memories.

Wonderful hostess, adequate property.
Although generally I did not have a bad time, the property had limitations. It was an older cottage and had drawbacks that limited my enjoyment. First of all, the main rooms and porch were quite dark. The old furniture was covered in blankets and the deep couches were neither comfortable for me nor easy to get up from. The lock box was hard to open,; the front steps were home made of slate and stone and high and rather dangerous for a smaller , older woman ( my companion). The fridge was not working properly and our perishables and left overs spoiled before we realized there was s problem. TO HER VERY GREAT CREDIT, the owner brought a tabletop refrigerator and gave us a generous amount of money to replace our losses. The house was also musty and I awoke each day completely congested until I left the house. The bathroom was tiny. On a positive note, the House was clean. I am highly allergic to dryer sheets, and there were placed in every drawer in the bedroom ~. Not a happy state for me. I was also disappointed in the distance to the reservoir as my impression from the literature was that it was quite close.

Do not stay here.
Do not stay here. No air conditioning, coffee maker. Stove/grill were out of gas. I was not comfortable changing tanks. Communicated with owner who referred me to Vrbo with no resolve. No water pressure, minimal hot water. TV did not work with hot spot. So, no TV, news, radio, etc. Could not access WiFi. We had no choice but to stay here because we had no money for another place. I am a frequent VRBO. Worst experience ever.

Lovely vintage cottage with lots of charm and amenities
Our family enjoyed our weekend away at this quaint, rustic cottage. It provided everything we needed and more! We enjoyed playing board games and the lake is a short walk from cottage. Great location!
