Nestled around Richmond Pond, the surrounding neighborhood is a private, tranquil community dedicated to maintaining its peaceful lakeside charm. You`ll notice right away that the atmosphere is quiet and welcoming, with friendly neighbors and serene surroundings. The neighborhood features its own private lakeside access, where we keep a double kayak for guest use, perfect for enjoying the water.

Richmond Pond and the nearby area offer a variety of fun activities to suit any interest. Here are some of our favorites:
- Apple picking and cider donuts at Bartlett’s Apple Orchard
- Sipping hard cider at Hilltop Orchards
- Enjoying wine (and sometimes live music!) at Balderdash Cellars
- Skiing and snow tubing at Bousquet Ski Area
- Hiking at the many Berkshire Natural Resource Council trailheads nearby
- Experiencing live music at Tanglewood or catching a show at Barrington Stage
- Kayaking in Richmond Pond, of course!

We invite you to explore and relax in this beautiful, laid-back community.

Although getting around the neighborhood is quiet simple and the lake is a short walk away, most people find it best to have a car with them on a trip to The Berkshires.
As hosts, we generally like to abide by the golden rule. Treat our space well, and we`ll treat you well in return.
