About this property

Berkshire lake house on lake Garfield, Monterey MA; private, 5 BR, sleeps 12

Family vacation lake house on lake Garfield, Monterey MA. Beautiful lake location nestled in the hills of the Berkshires on a private road tucked amongst old growth hemlocks. With great views up and down the lake from either of two large platform docks, or the front deck of the house or large sun deck will grill and eating area. This lake home is a great escape it featuring 2 kayaks (single and double), 2 SUPs, a row boat and many floats for relaxing in the water. The swimming and fishing is very good as the water is clean with cool spots in this spring feed lake. Centrally located to access all the Berkshire' has to offer, whether concert going at Tanglewood or shopping and dining in Great Barrington, or Stockbridge, Lenox, Pittsfield or hiking, bird watching, exploring or just relaxing and take in a clearer view of the night sky this could be the best balance you are looking for.
Our home is also a nice balance between the look and feel of an all wood cedar and pine lake cabin, but large enough to sleep 10 or more with modern kitchen, large family dinner table. Lots of space with 6 split levels tiered down toward the shore line. 5 bed rooms ranging from a bunk room down stairs to a private suite up top, 4 queens, 4 twins. GUESTS PROVIDE OWN LINENS AND TOWELS. Extra blankets and pillows in each bedroom.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Host profile image
Engineer/scientist, love the outdoors; flying, hiking, scuba diving, sailing, fishing, biking. Married with two talented adult children. Kathleen, retired teacher, and I live in Western NY, finger lakes region. We love the lakes, their wildlife, wine country, camping, boating and exploring.

Why they chose this property

This Berkshire family lake house has been my family for over 60 years. My parents and siblings cleared the property and helped build the house. Through the years we have added to the house and made many improvements. Making many great memories along the way. Some of my fondest memories were at this lake house with many friends and family. My parents motto was more the merrier. After their passing I purchased the house to keep it in the family and keep up the tradition my parents started as a place for families and friends to gather making and share great times together. Kathleen and I hope you enjoy our lake house as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

We are right on the lake and in a private location. You are looking down at the water from the house front deck. we own two full lots with non-build-able properties to either side, effectively our house is at the end of the road. Two large platform docks, one of which has walk-in access to a sandy beach. Lots of water toys, great swimming, fishing, boating, If you have a motor boat/ski-boat you can tie-off at larger platform dock where the water is deeper off the dock.
