Description of the Cheshire vacation house rental

Comfortable house situated on the shore of Hoosac Lake with beautiful, long views stretching across the large lake. It's fully furnished, with cable TV, stereo, and high-speed Internet. There's a big kitchen, with a central island for dining. The expansive living/dining room and attached study, with distinctive wood paneling, are flooded with light and look out on the lawn and lake. Two bedrooms are on the main level, and one is upstairs with a roof window (AC in two of the bedrooms). The furnishings are pleasant, with some antiques. Windowed basement has washer & dryer, and a ping-pong table. The house is situated on large grounds gently sloping to the lake. It has upper and lower decks with outdoor furniture, and one screened deck. The location is quiet, on a dead-end road that extends into the middle of the lake. A rowboat and dock are available for your use. Tanglewood, Williamstown, Lenox, MASS MoCA, bike trail, gorgeous fall foliage, and Jiminy skiing are all highly accessible.

Location

Nearest airport:   Albany, NY at 58 Miles
Nearest motorway:   Rte 8 at 1 Miles

The house is very close to the new Ashuwillticook Rail Trail (great for biking and for long walks) and is near the Appalachian trail. It's just 20 minutes by car to Mr. Greylock (with hiking trails or a drive to the observation tower at the summit, the highest point in Massachusetts with a view of several states). Jiminy Peak, with summer recreation activities and winter skiing, is also 20 minutes away. For contemporary art and an art scene, MassMoca in North Adams is 20 minutes away to the north. The superb music center at Tanglewood, with magnificent concerts all summer long in the shed or on the beautiful lawn, is only 30 minutes to the south. The same length drive to the northwest brings one to the charming town of Williamstown, with great theatre at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and lots of good restaurants. For cinema, the Berkshire Mall is about a ten minute drive and a selection of supermarkets, Barnes & Noble, etc. are about 10 minutes away.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Cheshire, Massachusetts

Wading is possible from right off the property (the water is clean), but the lake is not yet weed-free enough for swimming (like many of the Berkshire lakes). It is highly suitable for boating, kayaking, and fishing. The glistening lake is surrounded by mountains in all directions and the location of the property in the central Berkshires town of Cheshire is very convenient, with all the premier outdoor and cultural attractions of the area only a short drive away.

Jiminy Peak with summer activities and skiing is only 20 minutes away. For fall, the house is 20 minutes from the Mohawk Trail, with some of the best leaf viewing in the country.

Other Activities: concerts, art museums
