Have you ever wanted to buy one of those $ 250k lake houses? Me too, that is why this has been my vacation spot for the last five years and will continue to be for as long as the Raymond family own this idyllic spot. I am not sure which I love better, the location or the hosts of this peaceful getaway. I feel like family when I am here, sort of like staying with long time friends. If you are sick and tired of the overpriced hotel options in the Northampton Amherst area, you owe it to yourself to spend a week up here, it will be cheaper than anything you will find in the valley. I find true relaxation here, most often falling asleep listening to the Red Sox on the radio in the evening, waking to the sunrise, making a quick breakfast in your own kitchen, off to kayak the lake for an hour or two, taking a dip in the lake, and its not even 10am yet… I can’t wait to go back!
