This was our second summer in a row staying for a week in this wonderful lake house. Plenty of room for our whole family. The lake is amazing an peaceful, and there are plenty of kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and floats to enjoy it. And the screened in porch overlooking the lake was amazing.

Fantastic spot! We loved the house. Plenty of woods between houses. Great Lake views. Water was clean. Enjoyed fishing from the dock. Kitchen was well stocked. Easy to prepare meals. Gas grill worked beautifully. Lastly, the hosts responded quickly when we had a question about the refrigerator.

The location on Garfield Lake was wonderful if you just want to kayak, paddleboard, swim and relax. However just know that it’s 20-30 minutes to get to another town for food or shopping. The living room, kitchen, deck and screened in porch are comfortable and very well appointed. However the bedrooms downstairs smelled moldy despite the constant use of two large scale dehumidifiers. They had to run all the time and were noisy. Also the lamps throughout the house (especially the living room) had very low watt bulbs making rooms darkish. The bedrooms were disappointingly do pointed compared to the lovely living room.

My family of five plus grandparents loved our week at this amazing lake house. Garfield Lake is beautiful and relaxing and the house has an incredible number of kayaks, paddleboards and floats to be able to enjoy it. The host was very helpful throughout our whole stay.

Great week on the lake.

The house came well equipped with everything we needed to have an amazing week on this lake. We were hoping for great swimming, boating, and paddle boarding, and this lake house did not disappoint. When we weren’t on the dock or in the water or relaxing on the deck, we really enjoyed cooking in the fully equipped kitchen or on the grill. The owners thought of everything to make our vacation wonderful. We would definitely recommend this lake house.

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.

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.

Third year at this great lake house

This was our third year staying at this beautiful lake house. The kitchen is fully stocked, the living room and enclosed porch have an amazing view of the lake. The private dock too is fully stocked with boats, paddle boards and floaties. The location is perfect, easy to get to Tanglewood, hiking trails, Great Barrington and many other towns in the Berkshires. We are already looking forward to coming back next summer

The kitchen is well stocked and the living room has a big sofa, TV and is a comfortable place for all to hang out. And the location is great, easy to get to Great Barrington, Lee and Lenox

Our family trip to Lake Garfield was a very relaxing experience. We were a group of 6 adults and two teenagers. The cottage had plenty of places to find a quiet spot along with places to gather. The weather was a bit cool but still able to get some time on the paddle boards. The cottage was located close to the Norman Rockwell Museum in addition to a trip to the outlets on a rainy day. The addition of a second refrigerator was very helpful for any group and the large grill and fire pit were also a plus. The steep driveway was the only minor drawback. All in all we had a wonderful week catching up with the family. The cottage owner was always available to answer any of our questions quickly. Thank you for the use of your beautiful cottage.

Something for Everyone

On Lake Garfield we learned the 1 1/2 yr old loves boats. He sat calm and content in the canoe and the sit-upon kayak, even in a tight life-jacket. His 2-yr-old cousin, not so much. Swimming was her jam. Every family member found something to love about the house. The cozy bedrooms, the garden patio, the game closet, the well-equipped kitchen. The house had comfortable spots for conversations heavy or light. The location near Great Barrington is convenient, and hikers can easily get to the AT on Main Road. Highly recommended.

We were delighted with the house! It was a little big for just the two of us and our little dog. We were looking for a retreat setting and this house delivered! The lake was lively over Labor Day weekend but was super calm and peaceful the rest of the week. I loved to sit on the dock and read! There are so many seating areas that even a much larger group would be really happy. The driveway is quite steep but the road in the area were very quiet and safe to walk our pup. The grocery store is about 15 minutes away. Great restaurants are an easy drive as well. The house was very well stocked with utensils and pans, pots, etc. We were excited to see a real coffee maker instead of a Keurig. We would certainly consider returning because we loved the placement of the house to the lake so much.

Wonderful property on Lake Garfield

We loved our stay at this property. The house is in excellent condition, fully stocked kitchen, screened in porch, master bedroom with king size bed on the first floor, and comfortable rooms for guests on the lower level. Best of all beautiful views of the lake from the house. And an easy walk to the private dock with plenty of boats and floats. Ann was an excellent host and responded quickly to all of our questions. Also, convenient location, easy to get to Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Lee and Lenox.

A wonderful cottage in the Berkshires, with a view to kill

This cottage will more than meet any expectations you might have for a vacation. We were there for 3 weeks and I can not think of anything that could be improved on. Ann could not possibly be a better host. She provided all the info you needed for a great experience. I can not give the place a higher recommendation. Everything was absolutely great

Perfect getaway

The lake house was exactly what we were looking for. Very comfortable, nicely decorated, fully stocked with anything and everything we needed. Nice access to the lake and a large dock for the water toys and a place to tie our boat. Very relaxing week of swimming, boating, eating and fishing. We have rented quite a few lake houses but this was the best.

Lovely stay on Lake Garfield

Perfect lake house! Great location, plenty of rooms, lots of outdoor sitting spaces. Owners very responsive to any and all inquiries. We had such a nice stay...beds were comfortable. Loved being right on the lake. Brought our own board games (couldn't find any in the house)...Our cell phones did not get reception...other than that...pretty perfect!!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for this nice review. I'm sorry you had trouble with cell service since we actually get very good verizon and at&t cell service. (There is a review that actually mentions this) Perhaps the tropical storm knocked it out? I wish you had told us. It likely would have been a simple reboot. Sorry for the inconvenience. Also, just for the record, for future guests who might be reading this, there are board games in the game and entertainment closet by the fireplace.
