4Br/3bath Lakefront/Ski House in Berkshires. Hi speed wifi

Lakefront property with own dock on Otis Reservoir with beautiful views and garden. Great for fall foliage. For ski season: 25 minutes to Butternut, 55 minutes to Jiminy Peak, 6 minutes to Otis Ridge, and steps from lake for cross country skiing, snow-mobiling or skating. 4 minutes to 'downtown East Otis' with Katie's Country store, Knox Trail Inn, and gas station with all essentials. 15 minutes to Tolland St Park, 12 minutes to Jacob's Pillow, 35-50 minutes from Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Co, Rockwell Museum, Outlets in Lee, and the rest of the Berkshire's attractions. Max of 4 cars winter, 6 cars if no snow. AWD/4WD recommended if snow/ice -- fairly steep dirt road to go up when leaving house.

House has full working kitchen with china for 10+, pots and pans, cooking utensils, two refrigerators, electric oven with 4 glasstop burners, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig, and dishwasher. Their is an outdoor 5 burner gas grill. Seating includes dinner table for 6, bar stools for 4, the screened-in porch is used during 3 seasons and seats 10. Also has a washer and dryer and a back-up power generator.

The basement has a full sized pool table, dart board, and separate ping pong table. The 42' HDTV hooked up to a Roku with FUBO TV. This includes all major networks, NESN, NBC Sports Boston, ESPN, most cable channels, ability to record shows to view later (and FF through ads). Roku also has Netflix and can support anything else you stream (HBO, Showtime, ...). New high speed wifi (400 MBps, unlimited) through optical fiber internet. Selection of "board" games for young and old. There is a full washer/dryer and a second fridge in the basement as well.

Warm weather rentals: The house comes with its own dock 75 feet from the back deck. There is a boat lift if you have a boat 18feet or less. Also available are a canoe and 2 kayaks that can be put into the water. Otis Reservoir is a highly desirable lake because it is drained down 25+ feet every winter thus killing all seaweed. The water is beautiful and clean for all swimming and boating activities -- no green algea or seaweed. The reservoir is 1/2 mile wide and 4+ miles long. House has a wet room for storing all tubes, paddles, life jackets. Also, it is on the eastern shore of the lake which means it gets the afternoon sun -- more likely to be swimmable on marginal days. Also, good fishing right off the dock (for smaller fish).

Outdoor motion detector light and camera added to provide safe, monitored access to the house.

Tranquil

Comfortable, amazing views, room for everyone. Granted we didn’t need all the room, but if you’re looking for a place to bring a group and stay together, this is the place. The views of the reservoir are stellar. We had rainy and cloudy weather and even about five minutes of snow during our stay. But when the clouds cleared the sunset was beautiful and seeing the almost full moon through the large wall of windows overlooking the water made me never want to go to bed! Just beautiful! Sufficient kitchen with everything you need to cook just about anything. Grill outside. There is a keurig but make sure to bring your own k-cups as they are not included with your stay. Overall would recommend this rental!

Relaxing Home with a Great View

Perfect home on Otis Lake with plenty of room for a group of friends to gather. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, pots/pans, dishes to make a nice meal. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of outdoor furniture to gather near the fire pit by the lake. Keurig coffee maker available to make coffee in the morning. Nice and quiet, felt very private. Plenty of room for parking. Thanks for letting us rent.

Cant wait to go back!

We rented this beautiful home in Otis with another family for a fall getaway and could not have been more pleased. The place is beautiful inside and out- the views are just amazing!!! The home is clean, spacious, and has something for everyone. I highly recommend staying here and plan to go back as well!

Great September stay

Our group of old friends loved the location, the wall of windows, the access to water activities, and the game / TV room. We were comfortable and appreciated the cooking and grilling equipment. It was a wonderful weekend, and our hosts were helpful and responsive. Many thanks!

This place is just amazing, and the owner is very kind. We rented the house for Christmas, and have had a great family reunion (zero problems!). I am dreaming to buy a place like this, but for the moment I will keep renting this one! Emiliano and family

Lovely, comfortable, peaceful

A beautiful, 2.5 story view of the lake and trees in the main level. The trees are pines, so lovely even in the winter. Very well-equipped kitchen, good wifi and TV. Comfortable beds and bedding. We've stayed at a lot of places in NY/MA, and this is definitely one of the best we've found.

Beautiful view, perfect for whole family

Had such a wonderful experience at this rental. Well stocked. So much to do for every member of the family. The layout of the house is ideal for large families. The views are amazing...made a very cold Thanksgiving weekend warm and comfortable. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future, hopefully when it’s a bit warmer.

Family weekend

Loved the location by the water and plenty room for our group of 6 adults + 2 kids. It was very easy to communicate with Marshal. My problem was with the kitchen, no room whatsoever for our own supplies in kitchen cabinets, also the freezer part of the refrigerator really need a good cleaning.

Amazing house, beautifull place I’ll return soon.

We stayed a week end during last winter, the house is very very comfortable, and the lake view is delightful, I have a close grocery where we found all what we need. I had to solve a little issue with him and I have to highlight the charm and polite is Marshal, the owner. I’ll try to return this summer and so on.

Nice place to relax

Our family had a nice time at this house on Otis Reservoir. The view out the living room windows was wonderful. We also very much enjoyed the pool table in the basement. I give this 4 stars only because much of the house is dated. Everything works but it appears as if nothing has been upgraded for quite some time.

The house exceeded my expectations . It was spacious and the view from the living room was amazing. The only issue I had was the house number was wrong, causing a brief delay. The discription of the house, however was spot on.

Perfect long weekend at the lake

Two families shared this wonderful house on the lake. The set up was perfect with ample bedrooms, bathrooms and a gorgeous living room with huge windows overlooking the deck and lake. The kitchen was well supplied and the gas grill is fantastic. Plenty of toys for the kids and all the water activities you need. It was great having a country store near by for provisions. All in all a great weekend in a great location. We will be back. The owner could not have been easier to work with. Well worth the reasonable price.
