We’ve also stocked the cool blue cabinets with cookware, dishes, and glassware. When it’s time to eat, everybody can pull up a seat at the dining table, which can seat 6 to 8. If the weather’s nice, we also recommend eating outside on the back deck, where you can listen to birds chirping over breakfast. --LIVING SPACES-- Although outdoor activities like skiing and snowshoeing might bring you to the Berkshires, the cozy times by the fireplace will make you want to come back year after year. In our living room, you can enjoy gorgeous natural light during the day and a relaxing atmosphere in the evening. Kick back and relax on the couch, stream your favorite shows on the smart TV, or just chat with your travel companions over a glass of wine. The gas fireplace is controlled with a switch, so you can be cozy-warm in no time! In addition to the main living room, there’s a small sitting area in the upstairs loft. --OUTSIDE-- One of our favorite parts of our cottage isn’t even inside, but outside. Set right off the kitchen and living room is an expansive back deck with a barbecue grill, an outdoor dining table, and adirondack chairs with a gorgeous view of the trees. In the winter, once the trees have lost their leaves, you can also admire lake views from the desk. Beneath the desk is our spacious, grassy backyard that contains ample space for the kids to run around and play. In the evening, you’ll love winding down by the fire pit, which is perfect for roasting s’mores. Stay out after the sun sets for spectacular views of the starry sky. --ESSENTIALS-- We have added a mini split which keeps the house cool during the summer and can also help warm it in the winter. Both bedrooms have window AC units for those hot summer nights. Traveling with little ones? We can provide a portable crib, inflatable toddler bed, baby seat with tray, and a changing pad upon request. Parking is available in the driveway, which can accommodate a couple of cars.
