About this property

Get away from it all at our beautiful Berkshire lakefront wooded retreat. Swim, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, sunbathe, hike, bike, explore during the day. In the evening perhaps take a short drive to Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Shakespeare & Co, or Mahaiwe Performing Arts, or to the movies in Great Barrington. Have dinner at the Red Lion Inn, or one of the fabulous restaurants nearby, or have it at home as you watch the sunset over the lake.

This private, modernized (major renovation completed 2018-19), 5 bedroom* cottage consists of two floors. The upper floor has a fully equipped kitchen , a large great room with a dining and living area, featuring a beamed cathedral ceiling, skylights, a dramatic fireplace, and an entertainment area with a wide screen TV. The dining room table seats eight and overlooks the lake. A transitional kitchen "island" seats an additional four. A screened porch overlooking the lake extends off of the dining area. An open porch overlooking the lake extends off the living room area. The master bedroom, with a king bed, and one full custom bath are on this floor. Downstairs, three bedrooms (two with queen beds one with one twin bed) have lake views. The fourth bedroom has two twin beds. A full bathroom, a second refrigerator, and a utility room with a washer and dryer are on this floor. The middle bedroom has large sliding glass doors which open to a large patio area with a garden, lawn chairs, fire pit, and two picnic tables. A four burner Napoleon gas grill overlooks the patio, with easy access to the kitchen.

A flight of half-steps (constructed for a gentleman who had just had a knee replacement) leads to the dock and the lake. Two canoes, two kayaks, and two stand up paddleboards come with this rental. There are also various floats for swimming. Lake Garfield is managed for weed control (the water is lowered each winter to kill off the weeds) so the water is one of the the clearest in Massachusetts.

A magical lakeside retreat with all the comforts of home and easily accessible to the world-renowned art, culture, dining, and entertainment of the Berkshire hills. Look forward to a memorable vacation.

Relaxing get away

We were looking for a place where we could spend a relaxing time with our adult children who live across the country and the world. We found it here! What a perfect place to spend time together. We appreciated the great indoor and outdoor gathering spaces- so comfy! We kayaked and canoed daily, cooked meals together in the well stocked kitchen and slept well in the quiet. Everyone loved it and we hope to return again.

Lake Garfield Haven

This house was a holiday to stay in, lake views, every amenity, boats, cooking supplies and beautiful landscaping that blended in with the Berkshires forest. The location is ideal for visits to The Clark, Chesterwood, Norman Rockwell Museum, Tanglewood and restaurants in Great Barrington along with the myriad of local hiking trails like at the Bidwell House. Sunsets and moon watching, kayaking and swimming from the dock made staying on the property all you need for a wonderful, restorative and fun vacation.

Second year at this beautiful property

This is the second year we stayed at this amazing property. The house is well designed with a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable living room with great seating, and screened in porch overlooking the lake. Getting into the house was easy and it was very clean when we arrived. Easy access down to a dock on a beautiful lake well stocked with boats and floaties. The location is perfect, close to hiking spots, Great Barrington and other towns in the Berkshires. The owner is extremely responsive. We loved our stay here and look forward to coming back.
