About the host
Hosted by Donna Klein
Hi! I'm Donna and I'm originally from Westchester, County, NY but have spent many years enjoying the beauty of the Berkshires. I love everything about this area – from skiing and cozy fires in the winter to swimming and kayaking on Lake Garfield in the summer. Hosting gives me a chance to share a place that means so much to me with others. I’ve put a lot of care into making this home a peaceful, comfortable space where families and friends can relax, recharge, and connect with nature.
Whether you’re here for adventure or quiet time, I’m happy to help you make the most of your stay!
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is peaceful, friendly, and surrounded by nature. In the winter, the stillness of the lake, easy access to nearby ski mountains and snow shoe hikes make it feel like a true retreat. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe fresh air, and enjoy the best of the Berkshires. In the summer, it is just a short walk from the house to beautiful Lake Garfield with its sandy town beach, lifeguarded swimming area, and boat launch. We love starting the day with a quiet paddle in a kayak or taking an evening stroll through the quiet streets lined with trees and gardens. Fall is especially stunning — the foliage is absolutely breathtaking.
What makes this property unique
What makes our home stand out is the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and location. It’s a newly renovated, peaceful retreat with modern amenities including the hot tub chef’s kitchen, and a spacious open-plan great room with vaulted ceilings and a wood stove — perfect for cozy nights in.
Unlike many lake homes, we’re not crowded in — our property offers real privacy, surrounded by nature and gardens, yet still nestled in a friendly, walkable community just a 5-minute stroll from the town beach on Lake Garfield.
It’s a rare find: a private, stylish getaway with plenty of space — both indoors and out — and easy access to all the best of the Berkshires.
