about us

Rustic.. Not fancy... It's a cabin... 2 bedroom, one with Queen the other with twin bunkbeds... 2 couches could sleep extras. One bathroom. Very relaxing! Great place to chill on the deck with friends and family!

Completely surrounded by water and Chain Pickerel, Crappie, Sunfish, White Perch, Yellow Perch, Brook Trout, and Tiger Trout are the fish you will catch if you are into fishing! Otherwise just relax, enjoy the water activities and movement on the lake. 75" hi def TV in bedroom. 2 docks... bring your jet skis and toys!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Martin

Your hosts, Paula and Bill.... we're from the Hartford area and Paula's family has been in Otis since the 1950's. We enjoy bicycling around the neighborhood, balancing on the paddle boards and kayaking around the reservoir. We also enjoy meeting new folks and making new friends.

Why they chose this property

It's in The Berkshires! The mountain air is FRESHER here! Plenty of great fishing from the decks and docks. Paddle boards and kayaks for your enjoyment! Otis Ridge ski area one mile away. On the largest fresh water reservoir in Mass. Lots of historic properties to explore nearby. Berkshire Botanical Garden is in Stockbridge, 12 miles away. Norman Rockwell Museum is in Stockbridge. Berkshire Scenic Railway in Lenox is 13 miles away. Cove Bowling and Entertainment in Great Barrington is 13 miles away. Several golf courses nearby.

What makes this property unique

Pretty awesome property...! How often do you come across a private island that is readily accessible? The island was built in the mid 1930's and the best way to describe the property is "Campy"...! You are surrounded 360* by water! Super views of the lake and often a steady parade of boaters and water skiers on the weekends. Katies Country store 5 min away and Knox Trail Inn is the local watering hole and restaurant. Bring your fishing gear, you will catch fish! Several vineyards for wine lovers nearby. Botanical gardens 9 miles away. Tanglewood Live Music is 22 miles away. (World class performances) such as Steve Miller Band, Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, James Taylor, Boston Symphony, Boston Pops Orchestra, Patti LaBelle and other will be in Tanglewood this summer, 2023!
