Description from owner

Description

Remember the simple pleasures of a country, lakeside vacation where you can spend the day swimming or boating, exploring new towns and attractions, or just spending a lazy afternoon reading on the screened-in porch? Get back to those simple pleasures in our cabin, which is located in a beautiful, quiet country setting far from the chaos of modern life in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains. The cabin is just a five minute walk to a lake where you can swim, fish or canoe (canoe and life jackets provided). Or spend the day exploring the many surrounding towns with antiques, restaurants and shopping galore. Other activities nearby include: hiking, horseback riding, Tanglewood, children's arts programming, The Mount (Edith Wharton's home), Arrowhead (Herman Melville's home) Jacob's Pillow Dance, outlet shopping, summer stock theater, Shakespeare and Company, Berkshire Museum, Clark Museum of Art, Eric Carle Museum, Heartwood School and Becket Arts Center among many, many others. Now offering internet and satellite TV.

Response from the owner We are mortified to hear of the problems you had during your stay. From what you say, it seems that the house was inadvertently not cleaned and the yard not mowed before your arrival. We will definitely look into why that happened and rectify any errors in communication with our caretaker. If I had known about your issues while you were there, we would have done our best to rectify the situation right away. I would also have told you where the canoe was, and called the internet provider to fix the wifi, which normally works fine and is not slow. Our listing makes clear that the second bedroom is bunkbeds and that the sofa in the main room can be pulled out into a queen bed. Because the house is only 640 square feet, the listing also describes the property as sleeping 2-4. The listing does not claim that the has a water view, and clearly states that it is a five minute walk to the lake, which is true. We will immediately look into the noises you heard in the loft and your difficulties with the washer/dryer, which normally works very well. In the meantime, I welcome you to contact me directly so we can discuss resolution of this matter further.

Response from the owner The shower water should definitely not come out as a strong trickle! I was not aware that this was an issue and will take care of it right away. I believe the cause is likely to be a build-up of sediment in the showerhead that happens from time to time with well water. I was also not aware that pillowcases had disappeared (all sheet sets originally had matching pillow cases) but I will definitely replenish the supply. The traffic noise, coming from the highway several miles away, varies with weather and wind conditions.
