Robinson Pond Escape
What a lovely home! When we arrived we were in awe of the magnificent views from the dining area, to the lake below. The expansive deck also lent wonderful views all around. The home was very light and airy with all the windows, high ceilings, and skylights. This did not feel like a rental, it felt like a cherished home. The decor was very eclectic and modern, and the appliances and cookware were top notch. There was an Alexa or Nest wired in most rooms to play music, turn on lights, TV, etc, What also struck us was the privacy of the place, with a terrific waterfront access to the lake, as well as the neighborhood beach and float next door. The kayaks provided were a lot of fun, and Robinson Pond was the perfect size for exploring. We also loved the wildlife around the lake. We had a deer visit us one evening, and a giant blue heron could be seen skimming across the pond most mornings, or seen sitting on the float in the lake. The only less than perfect thing to say, was it was a little bit of a drive to the supermarkets and restaurants. We discovered that Great Barrington, about a thirty minute drive, was our favorite place to go for amazing dining. The only real disappointment we experienced, was that Bash Bish Falls was closed due to construction, but we did manage to go biking on the newly renovated Harlem Valley rail-trail, and we did go up the Catamount ski-lift for a view of the Taconic-Berkshire mountains. What a memorable week we had!
