COZY LOFT w/ PRIVATE BEACH ON GORGEOUS MOUNTAIN LAKE IN THE BERKSHIRES
It is Spring and this early season is the perfect time to be in the Berkshires. There is a lot going on and the lake is calling to you. Come discover the Berkshires before the crowded summer season. Want to relax and unplug? Interested in a read away? There is a single bed in a nook in the loft that is a readaway extra. Or, read in comfort at the lake. Forest bathing hikes are everywhere. A perfect getaway that is close by and a WORLD away!!! The LOFT is a unique private large 690 s.f. modern cabin like structure with great forest and garden views and access to our own private beach on this clean beautiful mountain lake, GOOSE POND. The area is spectacular. LOCATION The loft/lake are a short drive from Exit 10 of MA Pike in a countryside lake setting, near all of the cultural offerings that the BERKSHIRES has to offer: Tanglewood, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Shakespear and Co., Norman Rockwell Museum, Jacob's Pillow, Naumkeg, Kripalu, just to mention a few. Fantastic boutique shopping and great cafes are pleasant destinations in area towns. Fall is beautiful here. There remains a lot to do too. LOFT The LOFT is a stand alone structure behind the owner's house.. It has a thoughtful, comfortable floor plan. All of our previous guests have commented that the Loft is much bigger than it appears in pictures, that it exceeded their expectations and is much more charming than any of the pictures depict it. There are designated areas in this open floor plan: bedroom area with a king bed, a kitchenette area equipped with small appliances and retro refrigerator, a dining area, a great living room area complete with a freestanding gas stove and a futon , a single bed situated privately in a raised alcove accessed by a 3'ship's ladder and a good sized bathroom with a generous sized shower. The Loft has an outdoor grill with a side burner on the large private back deck in the woods, internet, air conditioning and both the back deck and front deck are accessed by glass French Doors which let in all the light and brings the outdoors in. LAKE The walk down a tree lined path reveals a large flat lawn that borders the shorefront/beach of our beautiful lake.. There is a dock for hanging out in one of many zero gravity chairs or adirondil chairs, doing yoga with water surrounding you or fishing. Relax on the lawn in one of our unique Steamer Chairs. The swimming in this gorgeous, clean lake from our sandy beach is beyond compare. Kayak (5 available for use along with vests), take in the scenery and watch for the eagles and great blue herons at owners' private lakefront on Goose Pond, a large very clean and beautiful 270 acre lake of which the majority is in preservation. There are bocci and cornhole as well as indoor games. HIKING Hike around the top end of the upper lake or into the infamous Tyringham Valley on the nearby Appalachian Trail. There are many hiking opportunities surrounding us.
There are many great restaurants in the area.
This IS the quintessential vacation experience!!
INCREDIBLE IN FALL AND... The early summer and fall are also perfect times to visit the Loft and the Berkshires in general. The area is quieter and the scenery is spectacular. Fall foliage on the lake is something not to be misted and the free standing gas stove makes the evenings in the Loft cozy and contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere. Cultural opportunities are offered year long. Come and enjoy!
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate 4 legged family members at the loft.

Excellent property. Great access to the water. Wonderful hosts! Gail and Tim provided much info about local area to help us enjoy our visit to Western MA.
Cannot say enough good things about our stay with Gail and Tim. Perfect loft right on the lake, tons of water activities, local hikes, great food, and peaceful times.
Everything in the title of the listing is spot on. Host were friendly made it felt welcoming. The space may seem small but everything was situated to provide ample space even with 2 kids moving around. The loft was clean and had everything you need to cook. The bed and pillows were comfy and my wife said she didn't even notice when i got out of bed. The fireplace kept the whole loft warm even when the outside temp was below freezing, without excessive noise. The loft inside a loft bed was a hit with the kids as they kept fighting over it. Owners dog was friendly. Nature was abundant as we saw several types of birds, rabbits and other wildlife running around.The weather was a bit cold for early May but that didn't stop the fishing. There were plenty of kayaks and a canoe available for use. We caught an abundance of bass, pickerel, panfish and crappies with just jigheads w/worms. Overall, it was an excellent stay and we are definitely looking to come back during warmer weather.
wonderful location for accessing fun fall activities - hiking - leaf watch - great restaurants and shops in Great Barrington and Stockbridge - museums, etc. Weekend away to relax and recharge.
The house is beautifully decorated, and very well appointed. (Although we didn't need to use it, the kitchen had every appliance you could possibly ask for). The hosts added thoughtful touches such as robes and slippers for the guests. The hosts were also very responsive and helpful when we had questions, and accommodating when our arrival was delayed until after check-in time.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the loft. The location was very convenient to Jacob's Pillow, where we saw a wonderful performance. My husband is an open-water swimmer and relished his morning swim in Goose Pond.
We stayed here for labor day weekend, went to a show at Tanglewood, hiked and enjoyed the lake. Highly recommend the area and the property and the wonderful hosts!
We enjoyed our stay. This is our second trip to The Loft and we plan to return. Everything both outside on the lake and inside the loft was available and Gail and Tim Puntin are excellent hosts. Most or our time was spent enjoying kayaking and loating and swimming in the pristine waters of Goose Pond. Upper Goose Pond is a beautiful tranquil protected lake as it is on the Appalachian trail.
We had an absolutely wonderful time - kayaking and swimming in Goose Pond, enjoying performances at Jacob's Pillow and Tanglewood, hiking, and more! Gail and Tim were so hospitable - we can't wait till our next trip!
This property was perfect for section hiking the Appalachian Trail. The space was great for us and the kitchen worked out for breakfast, preparing lunches and one night eating in. The location is close to Lee, so there were plenty of restaurants to choose from. Sitting by the lake was wonderful and the hosts were very nice.
This was a third summer visit to Goose Pond. Check-in is very straightforward. The hosts Don and Gail come and say hello. The accommodations are well-kept, the kitchen is small but well organized and very easy to use. Highly recommended!
We had a really nice stay at Gail & Tim's lake front loft. The loft is in a great location, easy to get to but quiet. The nearby town of Lee has a cute downtown with restaurant options. Would wholeheartedly recommend!
We choose this property because of how secluded it was. The stay was serene, beautiful atmosphere, and everything we were looking for in our weekend getaway to the Berkshires. We will definitely return.
Gail and Tim are excellent hosts. The loft is adorable and has everything you need. Super clean and new and cozy. The view from the balcony is soothing. I went to dip my toes in and sit by the water. So much beautiful birdsong. I can’t wait to go back!
Literally the best stay we’ve ever had…location was perfect and guests made it the perfect stay. Central to everything from restaurants, hiking and the outlets. We’ll be booking again!

We are happily looking forward to seeing you both again this summer/fall! Gail, Tim... Isabella and Bob the cat!
Gail and Tim were great hosts and the space was cozy and beautiful. Easy access to everything in the Berkshires and Goose Pond (lake) was amazing. Enjoyed the kayaking/swimming and the sheer beauty of the area. The loft was peaceful and private and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend staying here and will be back.

We have lived on Goose Pond all of our adult lives and have raised our children here. My husband actually spent summers here while growing up and has never considered living anywhere else.
What makes this property unique
Goose Pond is an incredible mountain lake. We have always been in love with it. Goose Pond consists of 2 lakes connected by a channel. Upper Goose Pond is spectacular and is surrounded by National Park Land while much of Lower Goose Pond is in preservation too. It is a large 'mountain' lake that is very beautiful, clean, quiet and sought after by many especially those who kayak and canoe. Bird watchers will love it here. The bald eagle, great blue heron, osprey, loon and many others are seen almost daily. The lake provides great fishing and is stocked with salmon and trout and has native fish including bass as well. The pnly public access to the lake is a boat ramp so the only way to enjoy relaxing beach life is from private property and very few, if any are offered on our beautiful lake! In the fall, the mountains around the lake provide spectacular views as does the hiking available throughout the area. Fall is also an incredible season on our mountain lake and the gas stove keeps you toasty and has great ambiance.
