Nestled around Richmond Pond, the surrounding neighborhood is a private, tranquil community dedicated to maintaining its peaceful lakeside charm. You`ll notice right away that the atmosphere is quiet and welcoming, with friendly neighbors and serene surroundings. The neighborhood features its own private lakeside access, where we keep a double kayak for guest use, perfect for enjoying the water.
Richmond Pond and the nearby area offer a variety of fun activities to suit any interest. Here are some of our favorites: - Apple picking and cider donuts at Bartlett’s Apple Orchard - Sipping hard cider at Hilltop Orchards - Enjoying wine (and sometimes live music!) at Balderdash Cellars - Skiing and snow tubing at Bousquet Ski Area - Hiking at the many Berkshire Natural Resource Council trailheads nearby - Experiencing live music at Tanglewood or catching a show at Barrington Stage - Kayaking in Richmond Pond, of course!
We invite you to explore and relax in this beautiful, laid-back community.
