About this property
Quiet Comfortable Cabin 5 Min. Walk to Swimming and Boating
Remember the simple pleasures of a country, lakeside vacation where you can spend the day swimming or boating, exploring the countryside, or just read the afternoon away on the screened-in porch? Get back to those simple pleasures in our cabin, located in a beautiful, quiet country setting in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains. The cabin is just a five minute walk to a lake where you can swim, fish (catch and release-permit required), kayak or canoe (boats, paddles and life jackets provided). Or spend the day exploring the many surrounding towns with antiques, restaurants and shopping galore; take a drive down a country road looking for roadside farm stands; go for a long walk in the woods; or explore the nearby rock quarry (the app AllTrails is a must have for this!). At night, have dinner at an outdoor restaurant, grill on the deck, relax with a glass of wine on the porch, roast marshmallows, do a puzzle, or enjoy your favorite streaming on our Roku TV with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and more. The house has one large main room with living and kitchen areas, and two small bedrooms. The larger room has a queen bed with a comfy mattress and luxurious linens. The smaller bedroom has a full-size bed and narrow twin upper bunk (for children only). There is a cozy screened-in front porch with lounge furniture and fan, and a back deck with gas grill and seating for four. Between the natural setting and nearby cultural and outdoor attractions, you're sure to find plenty to do here to relax and have fun at a safe distance from others.

Very cute cabin surrounded by trees. Great to be able to cook in your well equipped kitchen with the option to bbq outside if you wanted. Loved the evenings around the firepit. Enjoyed having the kitchen extras, loads of towels (for swimming too ) and the use of Bose speaker.
The cabin is quiet, tidy, and comfortable. It is within driving distance of several hiking trails and was a great place to spend a long weekend. The host was friendly and communicative, and made sure that we had everything we needed for a nice stay.
This cabin was comfortable and well equipped. The big advantage was the nearby opportunities for walks and swimming. There's also a great breakfast/lunch restaurant/store less than 5 minutes away by car.
We loved our girls weekend getaway at this lovely cabin! It was clean and comfy with all the needed amenities. The location was just what we were looking for - secluded, quiet, with lots of hiking opportunities nearby.
We had a great time in this cozy cabin! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and visit to gorgeous Massachusetts. We wanted to see the fall colors and beautiful views and it definitely did not disappoint. Thanks for making our visit even more special.
Quiet cabin in the woods, was a perfect anniversary get away. We enjoyed the beautiful view, kayaking on the lake and just reading on the screened in porch.
We’ve stayed at the cabin with our dog four times and always enjoy our peaceful stay. It’s cozy, clean and private. Also, the Sherwood Shoppe - just down the road - is a wonderful place for breakfast, homemade chili and much more.
Loved everything about the cabin. It looks a bit dated from outside but very modern and convenient inside. Everything important is there and working, no clutter, very clean. The lake is perfect!
The house is beautifully remodeled and clean. Nice open area with all like new kitchen appliances. My friend and I are thinking of going back in the summer to enjoy the lake
This place was just what me and my two besties needed! It was very quiet and peaceful, and the screened in porch was just lovely. It might have felt crowded with more than three people, though. Everything worked well and the place is well-equipped.
This cabin is a dream! A quiet, cozy and well appointed space. Details and communication with the host is a snap and notes within the space help with tips to keep things tidy. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin and making it possible to enjoy such a peaceful stay.
Our stay was perfect. Easy check in, wonderful location and oh the charm! We were looking for a quiet, peaceful place in the woods by a lake and that’s what we got. Our host Djuna left easy instructions and a bottle of wine! The forests were fun to explore, the people in the town are so nice and friendly, all around this is a great place to relax.
My wife and I stayed in this wonderful house for 12 days in October. The house is cute, clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the firepit and walking the neighborhood. The owner communication was timely and easy.
What a wonderful stay we had at 157!
Looking forward to our next one. Everything was well kept, organized, clean, and cozy. A nice quiet place to get away and enjoy the nature around you. We thank you for the opportunity!

Comfortable 2 bedroom cabin
The house was very comfortable. Updated kitchen, bathroom, convenient washer and dryer. Big living room L-sofa. Online description was a little deceptive.
We enjoyed our stay.
I spent a great time relaxing in the serene nature surrounding this most comfortable home. Djuna was a wonderful host for the stocked kitchen and bathroom along with delicious wine . I will be looking forward to escaping here again when I need some peace and quiet and a lovely look at the stars.
We loved our stay! The cabin appears to be recently renovated with modern appliances and furnishings. We got quite a bit of snow during our stay, and someone came to plow the driveway for us. A well-stocked kitchen was also helpful while we were snowed in! The cabin is close to Canterbury Farm, which we loved for cross country skiing, and close to Lee for restaurants and shopping. The host answered our questions quickly!
Very nice place! It was easy to communicate with owner and check in process was breezy. Area is very nice with walking distance to a lake and a short drive to the Lee outlets. We spent most of our time out canoeing with the life jackets, canoe and paddle required. House is rustic but a perfect place to get away and enjoy the outdoors.
My family and I stayed for three nights to get away before summer ended. The house was very clean and comfortable. My 2.5 year old son absolutely loved going out with me on the canoe. And the town of Lee, a short drive away, has lots of good restaurants. Overall, it was an excellent experience. Thank you!
The cottage was perfect for us two. It’s so quiet in Sherwood Forest. Great area to bike, kayak and walk. Very peaceful. So close to Jacob’s Pillow, such a treasure.
Kitchen is well stocked with cooking ware. Sherwood Shoppe, just a mile up the road, is a treat for breakfast, coffee, good low key hospitality. Highly recommend.
