Great views, but VERY “rustic.”
The house’s position on the water, being further out than all other surrounding homes, makes for beautiful views of the lake and all it activities. The sunrises are beautiful. Unfortunately when you don’t have proper running water and a toilet that flushes without having to put water in the tank almost every time, the experience is less than ideal. The host warned us of the toilet about 15 min before we arrived and never had the kitchen sink fixed in the 5 days we stayed. That was rather disappointing. The open electrical panel in the bathroom did not look safe as well. The linens in the bunk room could be replaced, and a good deep cleaning of the whole house is warranted. Overall the outdoor aspect of this house is nice, the inside of the house needs a lot of TLC before it is rented out again.

Fantasy Island
From beginning to end, could not have dreamed of a better island getaway, in the Berkshire’s none-the -less. Bill was a wonderful host. Very friendly, responsive and helpful. Super welcoming. The home was simple, quaint, and super cozy. Perfect for a nice long relaxing weekend for both the dogs and people. The views from the sun room were lovely. The deck/patio area had a beautiful view of the water. The fire pit was a nice perk in the evening. Surrounded by water, the place felt so private. Surrounding neighbors were friendly. House was located nearby to hiking trails as well. The town restaurant was a short drive away. The property has all you need for a great time on the water. We look forward to rebooking again.

The View that’s about it!
Yes this property is listed as “campy” that phrase doesn’t even come close. The spiders, the dirty bathroom, the dirty kitchen, the filled medicine cabinet, the filled dressers with owners clothing, the holes in the floor, the holes in the walls, the water running down the fireplace during rain that literally was like a water fountain in the middle of the living room, the dirty looking bedding with stains on them, the food left in the fridge just GROSS!!! The view is unbelievable and was the ONLY reason we sucked it up for 4days. Oh and did I say the SPIDERS!!!!! Inside and outside was unbelievable! I have videos and pictures if anyone would like to see them.

Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing your Otis home with us. From the moment we walked through the door, we could feel the warmth and energy of great memories shared in this home. Growing up visiting Otis as a kid, it was incredibly special to celebrate my Grandmother's 85th birthday and send off my brother, who is starting his PhD program at Harvard University in Boston. My grandmother and the rest of our family will forever cherish this trip, full of laughter, swimming, and using our boat, which we dock in Otis. I can't remember the last time our family had this much fun together outside of the holidays. This home is the perfect location to create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities with your family. The memories made here will be forever held in our hearts. Thank you, Bill, for hosting!
