This is the 41st year that I have spent at least a portion of the summer in the Berkshires. I have never stayed anywhere else this perfect. The cottage has all of the amenities described in the listing. It is comfortable and welcoming. I love the screened in porch overlooking the lake. The porch is where I spend most of my time. The lake is beautiful and ever changing. I love to watch the firsherman out early in the morning. There is usually a cool breeze. My friends and family enjoy swimming, boating and grilling in the lovely yard.

This cottage is alway imaculate upon arrival. It is easy to keep clean. The kitchen is very good to work in.

I can't think of another place I'd rather be to escape the heat and crowds of the city. I look forward to many more summers in the Cooney Cottage. My grandkids love to play in the sand and swim in the shallow portion of the lake. My daughter swam all the way across the lake this summer. It is just a perfect place to be.

Since I am very familiar with the area, I know that Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow and Shakespeare and Company are just minutes away. It's fun to have cocktails on the terrace at The Mount and imagine that Edith Wharton is part of the party.

Each summer, a trip to Williamstown, either to the theater or the marvelous Clark Museum is a must.

I can't imagine being anywhere else.
