So lovely to get out of the city and to be somewhere with lots of space indoors and outdoors, and so quiet!
Very clean, great communication and a wonderful spot. Loved being so close to Otis Ridge to get in some night skiing. Thank you Lucas. Definitely recommend!

This was the perfect home for our winter get away with friends. The game room was a hit for the kids while us parents spent much needed adult time together. The living/dining and kitchen are open floor plan and each bedroom also had plenty of living space for each family to relax privately.
And just 25 minute drive to Butternut for skiing and tubing.
Lucas and Drew were terrific hosts, responding quickly to my queries and left of bottle of wine for our arrival.

We had a great time at this house. We were a large group and the layout was perfect, no one felt cramped and our dogs loved the open, private surroundings. Lucas is responsive and easy to work with, he provided easy, clear instructions and was very flexible regarding hosting my large family. We would love to return.

We spent a wonderful weekend at this Otis house. The house was spacious, clean, and perfect for our two families, with bedrooms at two opposite sides of the house. There were two comfortable indoor seating areas – as well as an enclosed porch, though we stayed in the warmer indoor area. Both Lucas and the rental company were extremely responsive when we had an issue with the bathtub faucet. The surrounding property is also lovely; we’ll have to return in the summer to take advantage!

Lucas was an extremely courteous host who communicated well. The house was spacious and my family enjoyed the rooms and features. There were some cleanliness issues that needed to be addressed during our stay and Lucas was very attentive and understanding to our concerns. He addressed the inconvenience and resolved it swiftly. For this reason, I would consider staying at one of their accommodations again.

This Airbnb has everything you need, location is excellent as it is central enough to suit your needs, yet still secluded and peaceful. Our hosts not only provided everything with all the details you need. We are definitely returning as soon as possible, and recommend it for anyone with a large fiend or family vacay! Thanks for such a lovely stay.

Highly recommended host. House is clean and well decorated and dog friendly. It’s baby friendly as it is has many toys and it has baby gate equipped at stairs. House is surrender by forest with no other houses in sight. It has a very large backyard with BBQ grill and some outdoor activitie equipments

We had a good time in Lucas’s Airbnb. The location is great and very peaceful. Tons of rooms and the house was comfortable for our group of 7 (plenty of room to spare). We may have had bad luck, but the house had messes from previous renters (pet hair, small mess in fridge, leftover garbage).
Check in was painless and the house and property have lots of charm. Great for larger groups and families. Amenities were decent enough.

This house is absolutely amazing! We loved everything about it. The layout of the house is fantastic, plenty of room for everyone! The decor of the house is beautiful; lots of great little touches spread throughout the house. The beds were so clean and comfy! And each bedroom was just as well decorated as the next. The upstairs loft bedroom was my favorite; the deck off it was perfect for sipping cocktails and reading or just enjoying the view. The bathroom had plenty of towels, including cute black "Makeup" towels. The kitchen is well stocked if you were inclined to cook while staying. The property itself is gorgeous. Very private, quiet! Beautiful ferns everywhere, flowers all over, and the lawn was made of thyme!! Smelled amazing! We didn't have any issues, but when I had a question the response time was so quick from Lucas! This house was by far one of the best Airbnbs I have stayed in and they clearly put a lot of thought and care into this home. 10/10 would go back!!!

Great place, very private in the middle of the forest. Kitchen is very well equipped with large pots and pans that allow cooking for a large group. Great to sit outside when the weather is nice.

The layout of the house worked well for our family get-together. It was nice to have 3 distinct sleeping areas. We enjoyed the big windows and views of the snow covered yard. The kitchen is on the smaller side with a limited number of dishes so I would be hard to cook a big family meal here.

Terrific spacious house for a family vacation. We comfortably fit two families totaling 9 people. The outdoor space is also lovely. You might want to bring a few kitchen supplies for people planning to do a lot of cooking, but other than that it has everything you need and then some (nice assortment of board games and kids play areas). Also the bedroom and living room decor is really lovely

Highly recommend this place without a doubt!
The house is gorgeous and very well-maintained. We spent Thanksgiving at this property and we stayed there for 3 nights and 2 full days. Lucas made sure all our needs were met from comfy indoor slippers to pots & pans, dishes, condiments, coffee, etc. All instructions were clearly shared a day before we checked in and made it super easy for us.
There was plenty of room and sleeping spaces for 10 people. It's a tastefully designed house that makes you feel welcome and at home. All appliances worked very well and helped us leave the place as clean as we found it.
Definitely worth the price for all the amenities provided and the attention to detail, especially if you have a larger group. If I had to nit-pick, I'd just say that the water in the tub was rusty and kinda spoilt our tubbing experience but that was nothing the owners had control over.
Overall, fantastic experience and we might want to check out other properties managed by Lucas.
We loved staying here and would recommend it to anyone.

My family had a wonderful time at this house in Otis. The house accommodated every need we had from privacy to a completely stocked kitchen, the ability to separately control heating and cooling in every room, the board games, the game room, the balcony, screened in porch, it had it all.
Lucas answered every question I had, it seemed like, within minutes. Every light switch was labeled, everything we used came with clear instructions. The house was clean and very well stocked, we loved it.
Plenty of room for two families with bedrooms separated by the common areas. It was minutes from an outdoor mall and a short ride to Lee and Lenox. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and are actually planning our next getaway there.
If it’s available, just book it, you won’t be disappointed .

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is large and well appointed with fun things for kids to do. We enjoyed the porch and the outdoor seating. Very peaceful and quiet retreat in a beautiful setting

We enjoyed staying at Lucas’s place. Very responsive and accommodating. The house was big enough to accommodate three families with kids from 4yo to 13yo. Peaceful setting. Feels secluded but not in the middle of nowhere. Quaint close by towns. Great hikes in the surrounding area. And the jewel of our trip, MASS MoCA. We’ll definitely consider Lucas’s place for another family get together in the area.

Just returned from a week in Western MA. This large house in Otis was a perfect base for our extended family (ages 19 - 89) and dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone as adult children cycled in and out during our stay. The mini-split air conditioners worked great and the wi-fi signal was strong and fast. We took advantage of golf, hiking, boating, museums, shopping, and dining out, across the Southern Berkshires. The kitchen and bathrooms could stand some updating, but they are serviceable. Bring ice cube trays!

We stayed at Lucas' place for our son's wedding which was a 6 minute drive from the house. We loved the house, it was exactly what we wanted and Lucas was an attentive and responsive host. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This home was very lovely. There were six of us getting together. We each had our own space in the house. The screened porch was a perfect spot to hang out in the morning and drink coffee. The house is set up very well so that some in the group can be gathered and others could still have privacy. The kitchen, dining and living space are perfect for preparing and enjoying meals together. We had a perfect weekend together.

The space was as described. We had a great time & enjoyed being tucked away in our own space. Lucas was proactive in reaching out & responsive to all questions and concerns excluding one. The smell of sulfur from all water in all taps was overwhelming.

This is a great space for larger groups or family gatherings! My friends and I picked it for our annual get together and so loved having our own private spaces & so many spots to gather.
There’s truly something for everyone here! Games, books for all ages, puzzles, items for little ones to play too!
We loved the shuffleboard in the basement and hiking local spots

We had a great weekend at Lucas’ place in the Berkshires! It was a big family, mixed with active kids and dog, but the place was well-suited to handle all. From the TMNT arcade game which my nephew loved, to the bedroom placements that provided nice privacy throughout the home, we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway! We’ll def try and make our way back again!
A lovely place that met out needs perfectly!

This home was perfect for our multi family reunion to celebrate a special Birthday. There was enough space for everyone, kids had room to hang and play with out being in the way of adults and vice versa! 🙂
The open layout kitchen was great for the many chefs.
Skiers got to enjoy the slopes near by and non skiers had fun shopping and eating in downtown Great Barrington.
Only disapointment was not being able to use the fireplace even though it was listed as an amenity. It was a very cold winter weekend, the added warmth would have been nice and it would have been so lovely to cozy up by the fire.

We came for a few days with three families, to ski nearby. The house was the perfect size for our group - spread out with different spaces for different groups. There was snow on the ground when we arrived (and was still there when we left), but the driveway was plowed before we got there, and again while we were out one day. The beds were SO comfortable. Hot water was not as hot as home, but we weren't there long so some people skipped a shower 🙂 We hope to return in the summer or fall for a few more nights.
Description
Enjoy the beauty of the Berkshires in our tranquil retreat! The home, with rustic charm and modern touches, features artwork and furnishings from local Berkshires artists. An expansive, secluded yard located within protected forestland provides the ideal combination of privacy & natural outdoor space. Large enough for your entire family, your home away from home has dedicated spaces for everyone: game room, play area, office, home gym, screened porch, backyard seating, and more!
Space
Upon entering the home, the first floor living room welcomes you to a stylish seating area, classic board games, and picture windows that highlight the scenic views of the surrounding outdoor space. The family room, also on the first floor, contains a large sectional sofa that seats seven, a Smart TV (on which you can log into your streaming apps, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc.), vintage DVD player with some classic movies and a children’s play space.
The living room adjoins a well-stocked, open kitchen with an electric stove and all the necessary cooking and serving items, including cookware, pots, pans, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, and other paraphernalia. Bar seating for two, open shelving, and a window overlooking the lush backyard make dinner prep an enjoyable experience. Coffee lovers will enjoy the drip coffee pot, while those who prefer tea will appreciate the variety of teas provided for guests. Newly installed dishwasher makes cleanup a breeze. The contiguous dining room has seating for up to eight guests, along with an eye-catching Sputnik chandelier, so you can enjoy those home-cooked meals in comfort and style.
Continue your tour of the common spaces by stepping onto the gorgeous, open steel staircase which anchors the interior. On cold days, entertain yourself downstairs, in the game room, which boasts a shuffleboard table, a retro Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, and comfy seating for those enjoying from the sidelines. The basement also has a small home gym with light weights, a bench, yoga mats, and exercise balls. On the second floor, at the upstairs landing, there is a small office with a desk for those who work remotely, along with lightning-fast fiberoptic Wi-Fi, and many books for those who prefer to stay unplugged.
There are five bedrooms, all with brand new solid hardwood floors, and three full bathrooms to accommodate guests during your stay. The first floor features four bedrooms and two bathrooms; each bedroom has a queen bed, and each bathroom contains a tub/shower combo and is shared between two bedrooms. The second level of the house has a full bath all with bathing essentials, such as body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, all in eco-friendly dispensers, are available for the duration of your stay.
We're excited to announce the addition of a queen memory foam sofa bed in the basement, providing extra comfort and accommodation options for our guests.
Breathe in the fresh mountain air on the screened porch, which has comfortable seating for four and picturesque views. Or, take a step outside to enjoy some of the provided outdoor games (cornhole, bocce), gas grill, and wood burning chiminea. There is also a spacious outdoor dining table and four beautiful Adirondack chairs to complement a Solo Stove fire pit.
Other things to get excited about:
-New solid hardwood flooring in all first floor rooms except larger family room and lower level/gym.
-The house has 8 mini-splits throughout to keep the house cool during the summer and warm during the winter.
-Six steps to the front door. The majority of the house is on the first level so the house may be a good choice for those with limited mobility.
-Washer & dryer available for your use.
-Parking on the driveway for up to seven cars.
-A gas grill stocked with propane is ready for your use. Outdoor games, a Solo Stove fire pit, and additional propane are also available in the small shed.
