Holiday rentals with lake access in Pioneer Valley

Taryn's place is perfect for the quirky individual who is looking for eye catching and unique decor that you would not expect in a rural setting. The books, games, music selections were perfect for us and of course the "bad art" with the hilarious descriptions made for such a fun interactive experience. My only critique, which really is not the hosts fault is that my dog was able to slip through some spots of the backyard, so if you have an adventurous small doggo who cannot help but explore the beautiful surroundings on their own, please make sure they are supervised in the back yard area. My dog is about 16lbs, so if you have a medium or larger dog you might be okay with the fencing. Thank you Taryn and Bryan for the experience, I would definitely stay again.

Taylor was an amazing host! Her home was super comfortable! We would absolutely stay again if we are in the area! Thank you for the amazing stay!

wonderful stay by the lake in Ashford! Joe is a very nice host and very responsive if needed.

We enjoyed our stay at the house. Mitchell was very responsive and communication was easy. The house is near butternut and GB. Hopefully we will come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoors.

We stayed here on our way to Stowe to break up our long drive with an 8 and 2 year old. It ended up being a wonderful mini trip that we didn't want to leave. The house exceeded our expectations in terms of quality, cleanliness, and amenities. And the location was excellent - about 10 to 12 min to the nearest grocery store and downtown with restaurants, Edith Wharton's estate about 20 min away, and Great Barrington/Stockbridge were easily accessible for day trips. We plan to come back for skiing, and to take advantage of the lake activities in the summer. The only downside was the busy road, as mentioned in the listing, but the traffic quieted down in the evening and it didn't affect our sleep at night with the bedrooms located in the back of the house (husband is a very light sleeper; we did bring and use sound machines just in case).

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and comfortable lake house. The setting was serene—perfect for a relaxing getaway—and the home itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. The owner was incredibly helpful and responsive, always quick to reply to any questions via text, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place! Exactly what we needed! Super cute, nice yard for dogs to run around! Dave was super responsive and helpful. Great place to eat just a min away from the house. Super convenient location. Highly recommended ! 😊🙏

This place was very clean and matched the photos. It was a great deal for 3 bedrooms with large beds in each room. It’s very comfortable. I got a quick response when I wanted to double check about parking. Wilmington is a nice area and much more affordable than northwest Massachusetts. It’s the perfect location to get to so many areas up that way. This is a main road, like described, and the trucks can be a little loud going by, it does shake the house a little. You don’t really hear it unless you’re in the living room or front bedroom. My mom is a senior and was a bit nervous about walking to the center of town, it’s just minutes away but there is no sidewalk and people do drive fast here. Just something to keep in mind if you have small children or seniors with you. You can drive, there are public lots so it’s no big deal.

Steven was a great host. My friends and I booked here for the weekend to go skiing at Mt Snow, and this was a short distance away. Our room had a spot in the hallway to place skis and boots, which was convenient for our stay. Our rooms were clean and the whole place was exactly like the photos. Steven was quick to respond when we had questions and was very generous to provide a bigger room for our group. Overall Steven is a great and caring host who shows pride in taking care of the lodge as well as the guests that stay there.

The location and space were great! I worked remotely during most of my stay and was very comfortable with my set up. The dining table was a perfect desk, with good lighting and wifi! Slept well due to it being so quiet at night. A positive experience overall.

We loved the studio and felt right at home It was a perfect place to stay while exploring the Berkshires, close to both outdoor activities and the offerings of the town. We especially appreciated the beautiful view from the studio which enhanced rest and relaxation. Jill and Steve were great hosts. Highly recommend.

Can’t say enough good things about this find near Jiminy Peak in the Berkshires! Stayed for three nights while skiing two days over presidents weekend. Hosts were very thoughtful and flexible. Left cookies and s’mores kit which were a nice touch. During snowstorm steps to the unit and walking areas were kept shoveled and salted. For us and our two teenagers this offered the perfect alternative to pricey on mountain lodging and was only about a 13 minute drive. There was even a bonus game room which could probably serve as a small additional bedroom if someone had the need, it certainly has room for a twin air mattress. Our two kids shared the queen bed with minimal fighting, but that would’ve been our back up plan😂. Anyway, they were super responsive, check in and check out was easy and will certainly look to stay again if we get up there to ski again this year !

Pleasant stay in a clean, cozy space. There is a bit of noise from traffic on the nearby road, but not a big issue for us. Would stay here again.

We had a great 4 day stay at Nina’s place. The apt is exactly as pictured and described on Airbnb. The space was a nice size, the furniture comfortable with the bed on the softer side, really good Water pressure in the shower, good amount of kitchen ware To create breakfast and lunches and light dinners. We loved the proximity to town and yet how quiet the place was, and there is a river directly in back. Nina was very prompt in responding to questions and gave us great recommendations for hikes in the area. There is a great bookstore and a number of really wonderful gift stores with Vermont artist’s works a block from the apt. And about a mile down the road starfire bakery with truly amazing baked goods. Make it a priority to Go there and try lots of things! We really loved our stay at Nina’s place and hope we can return in the fall or winter.

Elisa’s place was perfect for what we needed. It was exactly like the photos inside, very cozy and welcoming! Elisa gave very clear directions to find the place and to park, although the parking lot ended up being very full and it could be difficult to find a space. We loved the place and if we ever came back would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely relaxing time. The place was in a quiet, beautiful spot. Denise’s instructions were helpful and she was very welcoming. The place was spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable. We’d happily stay there again.

Frederick and Kelly have a great little rustic cabin right on the lake. Peaceful, quiet (a tiny bit of road noise occasionally, but overall very quiet). Frederick is super helpful and friendly. Cabin was built around 75 years ago (original builder's son left a note in the log book!), so don't expect anything ultramodern.. just a nice unassuming rustic family cabin.

This place was everything it was said to be. it was clean and very cozy. Kyle had a booklet with useful information about the cottage, restaurants and local attractions.

Great Lake side cottage charm. Fully stocked kitchen. Lots of fun water toys to use. Great views and peaceful!

This was the perfect spot for our mini vacation with our adult son and dog. The house was adorable and comfortable...the beds were especially comfy. The fenced in patio area and sun porch was so relaxing and although no one actually slept on it, the daybed was very comfortable as well. We enjoyed our day trip to Boston and multiple trips to Treehouse Brewery. Gwen's communication was awesome...such a terrific host! Hoping to stay again.

What an amazing stay! The place had great games and the porch was such a treat. The view from the fire pit was so relaxing and we enjoyed toasting smores while overlooking the lake. We ended up taking the folding chairs and playing catch by the lake, which was only a short walk away. Robert was responsive when we asked where to get firewood. We also enjoyed the Sturbridge coffee house and Maine Lobster (we liked it so much, we went twice)! We ended up going to the farmers market and flea market, which were great finds. Overall, a great stay with the kitchen utensils, bathroom necessities that you’d need. Close by the lake and a great neighborhood!

Lenore's place was very cozy. We felt right at home. We added guests (including a dog) after initially making our reservation and it was no problem with the host. Just a note, it costs a fee to add more guests on Airbnb. Overall our stay was lovely and our hosts were very nice, responsive, and welcoming. 10/10, would recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Michelle’s place. Overlooking a lake in a peaceful location, this was perfect for a small group looking for a reasonably priced Airbnb to stay while skiing at Mount Snow. The location was cool and I can definitely see this house being great for warmer seasons as well. One thing that stood out was the clarity of instructions provided by the host. Both the description of the property and what to expect, and the check in/out instructions are very accurate and helpful.

Mary Elle's cottage was the perfect mid week getaway. We found it clean and very cozy. Spent hours on the spacious deck enjoying the views on Cedar Lake. Paved driveway provided off road parking and easy access for unpacking and reloading our luggage. Already thinking about a return visit.
