About this property

COZY LOFT w/ PRIVATE BEACH ON GORGEOUS MOUNTAIN LAKE IN THE BERKSHIRES

(check out early season discounts) 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.

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.

Perfect cozy weekend getaway

My wife and I were looking to get out of the city for a weekend and admire the fall colors. The Loft was the perfect home base. It is an incredibly well-designed space with a lovely warm, cozy feel to it. It had great proximity to the town of Lee, where there were some amazing opportunities for eating and antiquing. We truly enjoyed our time there and felt completely recharged after our stay. Tim and Gail were kind and accommodating hosts. We hope to return again someday!

The Loft is the BEST

We love staying at The Loft! We have been more than once. It is so peaceful and relaxing. The owners Tim, Gail and Isabella are fantastic and so friendly and accommodating. We can fish, ride the water bike, go in the canoe or kayaks, shop in the area or relax and sit by the water. I highly recommend this location!

Feels like a Treehouse!

We LOVED our time at Goose Pond - the Loft was so artfully designed with everything we could possibly need or want. Our hosts were so kind, gracious, and helpful. We enjoyed our time immensely, from kayaking to hiking to seeing Shakespeare in nearby Lenox. It was a perfect weekend getaway spot and we hope to return again and again!

This small loft has all the essentials; for us the location is everything. We love Goose Pond and Upper Goose for swimming, paddling and fishing. Our host wrote the book about land use history - yet is very humble. We felt very welcome!

Berkshires Getaway

My girlfriend and I celebrated our first anniversary at this lovely property. Gail and Tim, and their adorable Newfoundland doggo, Isabella, greeted us when we arrived. The Loft itself is very spacious, with a giant comfy bed. The lake is super clean, and the owners have plenty of water-crafts available to use to explore it. This place is a short trip from our home base in the Capital Region of NY. We will definitely be keeping this place in our back pocket as a return destination!

About the host

Host profile image
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.
