Berkshires' best! Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow and 400 feet from a pristine lake

This newly renovated house in the woods on a private road in Lee is an ideal summer or fall retreat. Our little community (30 homes) has a beach and a dock on Goose Pond, community kayaks and other craft, and a pair of tennis/pickleball courts. The neighbors (and their children and grandchildren) tend to be friendly; most of these families count their time here in decades. Wildlife roam the woods: Don't pet the porcupines, and these wild turkeys aren't for drinking.
Within 20 minutes: music at Tanglewood, dance at Jacob's Pillow, theater and museums in Stockbridge, literary inspiration at Arrowhead (Herman Melville) and the Mount (Edith Wharton). The Lee Outlet Mall is just down the road. And everywhere: good food, great hikes and bike rides, history, spectacular fall colors, dark skies for watching all the stars. When the Perseids are at their height in mid-August, turn off the lights and sit on the deck, or go down to the dock or the beach, and lose count of the shooting stars.
We know that people come here for everything that surrounds us, but the house itself is pleasant and comfortable. The main living space is upstairs: kitchen, dining area, living room with fireplace, bedroom, washer-dryer and full bath; there's now a mini-split for AC as well as heat upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs are the bunk room and another bedroom, a family room and a bathroom with tub. The nights are cool even in the middle of summer; good thing there's a little fire pit out back.
Do note that, because of the stairs, the house is not great for folks with mobility issues.
Minimum stay in summer: one week.
Fall is glorious, and the summer crowds are gone.
We generally close up the house and drain the pipes for winter, but let us know if a ski season rental would work for you.
