My husband, dog and I enjoyed a long weekend here to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary- the property was beautiful and quaint! Perfect for exploring on walks, or nearby to the Norman Rockwell museum. Would stay here again.
This cabin was really nice. It was in an excellent location and in good shape. I especially appreciated the welcome binder with the restaurant suggestions and town information. I would definitely recommend this property.
Quaint cabin tucked away in the Berkshires. For those vacationing with a pet, be aware that on Labor Day weekend this neighborhood puts on a fireworks show right by this house. Also, there really is not any yard, just a small patio. Lots of great hiking in the area.
The stay was as expected... rustic, beautiful scenery, near a nice lake. It was close enough to Stockbridge and Lenox as well as hiking experiences so the distance was not a problem. The air conditioning was broken but the owner promised to fix it for the next renter. All in all we had a nice stay. Especially since the weather is temperate.
The lakefront area was scenic and peaceful. The proximity of the property to Great Barrington and Stockbridge was a surprise (we did not know the area). The owner provided materials and tips on local sights and hiking trails that we useful.
The time of year we went (end of May) turned out to be somewhat buggy - causing me to use the outside fireplace to keep them at bay.
Overall, a nice experience.
Beautiful and clean cabin with stunning lake views. Short drive to the Great Barrington which we loved. Also the Les Trois Emme winery which was only minutes away - the wine slushie is a must! Loved everything about our accommodations and our trip to the Berkshires.
This is an adorable, rustic lakeside cabin n the Berks, it’s the real deal and very comfortable and simply but well appointed. We felt like part of the multi-generational family history in the quaint camp. The lake is beautiful and smaller, so peaceful, definitely grab some firewood along the road for the fire pit. We had a wonderful relaxing lakeside holiday.
Great location for mountains, hills, lakes and ponds and waterfalls all nearby. The moderate tempartures allowed us to hike and paddle for four days. The accomadations were comfortable for two peeople - and clean.

Lakeview splendor
MiOwn Cabin was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and the perfect size for two people. The view from the living room window was both peaceful and beautiful, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The two kayaks were a fantastic bonus — we used them every morning, and were thrilled to be greeted by eagles and their fledglings each time. A truly special experience!
Sweet , peaceful, like a trip back in time. we loved it so much. Would go back again no question.

Very nice cottage for 2
Great cottage on the lake. Had everything we needed. The owners left a bottle of wine that we enjoyed. It was such a relaxing place to unwind. Kayaks were quite stable. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the property. It is so close to the lake it might as well be on the shoreline. the two kayaks were a wonderful addition. The cabin is rustic but comfortable. Perfect spot for a getaway. Nestled between the woods and the lake it is the perfect mix of what the mountains offer. I will definitely consider returning.

Perfect Get-Away Cabin!
MiOwn was an excellent place to stay while visiting Lake Buel! A quiet neighborhood with views of the lake made our stay that much more enjoyable!
The cabin was clean and stocked with the essentials, great sitting area and comfortable bed!
The town of Great Barrington had a lot to offer as well! The quaint main street was fun to explore and there were tons of options of dinner (the brewery was great!)
Lots to do outside here too. As if enjoying the lake isn't enough, MiOwn is not far from Monument Mountain and the gorgeous Umpachene Falls.
Already looking forward to my next visit!

Nice location, cute place, parking was very tight, thank God I didn’t bring my truck, many spiders
Only 1 old towels per person for two nights,? Some Shades were broken , no curtains in bedroom. Solid place and nice fire pit area.
Property is very nice abd so are the owners. Unfortunately the weather was too cool to take advantage of the picturesque lake but maybe next time. Pay attention to the description of the driveway. Cars over 16 feet can't fit in abd the street is very narrow to park on .
Place was clean. Great communication with David.Could use some curtains in kitchen area. Baseboard heat didn’t work in living room but other did. Very private,didn’t get to use kayaks because it was November. All in was a very nice place and a good weekend getaway

Very nice area
We enjoyed the area very much. The house is not as nice as it looked online. It needs some love for sure. Rusty kitchen cabinets and mold on the ceiling over the shower. But the location couldn't be better. There is 1 parking spot which is a little tight to get into depending on how many cars are in the driveway right across. Don't bring a truck. We did enjoy our stay. View of the lake could not be better.
place not completely as described..no yard for dog's, fridge didnt stay cold, parking spot was tight in a square with a pole and a stone wall barley fit my jeep wrangler...only 1 good outlet in the entire cottage furniture was cold uncomfortable leather..very disappointed by being in extreme close proximity of other cottages, couldnt really see the lake other cottages in the way ..next time will be more appt to ask questions ..
We spent a wonderful fortnight at this cabin. First of all, the owner and his family were extremely nice and helpful with anything we needed. The cabin is beautiful rustic, with wood floors and wood walls everywhere. The furniture is very high quality and comfortable. The living room has a large window overlooking Lake Buel, it is a great place to sit and have breakfast. There is ultra fast Wi-Fi and also very strong phone signal. The access point to the lake is very close, we did lots of kayaking using the kayaks that the owner kindly provided. We highly recommend to keep the windows open and the fans going, it can be very humid. Within 10 miles we could find everything we needed for groceries and dining, and virtually all of the Berkshires is within an hour or so driving distance. We also found great rails-to-trails bike paths, one in New York State, the Harlem Valley Bike Path about half hour away was amazing. Altogether we highly recommend this property.
We had a good time in the cabin - very relaxing, and during this season is the best time to go since everything is brow and red around.
The neighborhood was gorgeous, we talked all around, and it was beautiful.
The kitchen was perfect; the dining room view was fantastic. We Bbq every day, and the grill is pretty new. The Bathroom was the clean and perfect side. It is a small place with an amazing vibe and an extremely cozy time.
