About this property

Berkshires Lakefront Retreat by Evergreen Home

Newly renovated home on 4 private acres located only minutes from winter sports. Drive to Jiminy Peak in 15 minutes & Bosquet Mountain in 23 minutes. Drive 1 hour to Mt. Snow and Stratton - or walk right outside and sled down the hill in the backyard!

This 4 bed/2.5 bath year round retreat sits atop a hill overlooking Cheshire Lake and North Mountain and is centrally located between Pittsfield and North Adams. Enjoy lake views year round, your own private dock, and all the comforts of home.
There is a steep hill from the home, down to the lake. Lake is swimmable in season, there are weeds in the lake. Owners have cleared weeds around the dock area for swimming.

The home sits between Adams and Pittsfield which both have several grocery stores, outstanding restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, yoga, and more.

The home is close to major cultural institutions, such as the Berkshire Museum (15 minutes), Mass MoCA (20 minutes), the Clark Art Institute (30 minutes), and Tanglewood (30 minutes).

You'll need a car to navigate the Berkshires efficiently. The house features a 2-car garage for your use. Electric cars are welcome, a 40-amp level 2 charger is provided for guest use.

Cheshire is a quiet, rural community. We like to visit four nearby farms: Lakeview Orchard offers seasonal pick your own fruit and amazing cider donuts. Mountain View Farm has pick your own berries. You can buy fresh pastured eggs at Square Roots Farm, and Whitney's Farm Market has a small grocery with local produce - most notably their own tomatoes and corn.

The Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, winding 13 miles along Cheshire Lake between Pittsfield and Adams, is just down the road. For the more adventurous, an Appalachian Trail trailhead is 5 minutes away in the town of Cheshire.

The home is close to major cultural institutions, such as the Berkshire Museum (15 minutes), Mass MoCA (20 minutes), the Clark Art Institute (30 minutes), and Tanglewood (30 minutes).

Winter sports are close by with Jiminy Peak a 15 minute drive away. We are also close to southern Vermont resorts, with Mt. Snow and Stratton about an hour’s drive. Or, walk right outside and sled down the hill in our backyard.

The primary suite features a balcony overlooking the property and huge windows offering views of the lake and mountains beyond. Sleep soundly on a King memory foam mattresses and crisp white sheets. Enjoy the soaking tub in the primary bath with views of the lake.

Beautiful view
Came up to stay the weekend for freshgrass festival. The house was great and clean, updated appliances, kitchen and bathroom. The lake is very clean, but we didn't go in. We were able to watch a couple of bald eagles flying around the lake. Only concern was that the garage smelt like wet dog. Not a big deal because we didn't hang out in there but the odor was strong when you went in. Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area.

The house was very clean when we arrived. We loved the location.
There’s a lot to do in this area! The Berkshires are beautiful this time of year. Nearby Pittsfield seems to be going through a renaissance of sorts. Also, The Berkshire Botanical Gardens is a great place to enjoy gardens. Lots of hiking!

Beautiful setting, clean and inviting home
Spent a weekend to join up with college friends and their families. The house was spotless on arrival and there was ample room for everyone. The air hockey table was a great attraction for the kids. The setting of the house was lovely and very convenient to skiing at Jiminy peak. Thank you for accommodating such a big party!
