A private pond ringed by forested Berkshire hills is the backdrop here – and it earns its place as the centrepiece of the stay. Paddle out on a pedal boat, cast a line from the dock, or simply drift in the hammock strung above the water as the treeline reflects below. Come evening, cross the footbridge to the fire pit as the light fades over the water. Inside, three distinct living areas give groups room to breathe, including a brick fireplace lounge, while a concierge service can arrange private chefs, fridge stocking, and more.

Home truths
You're in a rural forest setting in the Berkshires, so you'll need a car to reach shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Plan to stock up on groceries before you arrive or use the host's fridge-stocking concierge service.
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the trundle in the third bedroom.
There's an unfenced pond in the garden here. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
The pond is safe for swimming and catch-and-release fishing. Life jackets, towels, pedal boats, rafts, and pool noodles are provided.
