The lakeside home was refreshing for my mother, sister, my kids, and her children to stay in the Berkshires. It is very clean and homey. Two bedrooms are small/ not much walking space, so it is best to have only one large suitcase in those rooms or one small one. Stairs going up are narrow, so only good for older children and able bodied adults. My mother stayed in the first floor bedroom, which was perfectly suited for her. It was great to have access to kayaks and swimming mats. The views of the lake are very beautiful and the water was warm for swimming at the end of June.

We had a fantastic family vacation at Sweetwater! The property is beautiful, and the outdoor space was perfect for our family. Our kids loved having room to play, and we enjoyed spending time outside and taking in the peaceful surroundings.<br/>The location was ideal, just a short drive to public beaches and downtown Great Barrington, making it easy to explore the area while still feeling tucked away and relaxing.<br/>The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout our stay, which made the experience even more enjoyable.<br/>Overall, this was the perfect spot for a family getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again.
