5 Bedroom House in Monterey

Get away from it all at our beautiful Berkshire lakefront wooded retreat. Swim, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, sunbathe, hike, bike, explore during the day. In the evening perhaps take a short drive to Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Shakespeare & Co, or Mahaiwe Performing Arts, or to the movies in Great Barrington. Have dinner at the Red Lion Inn, or one of the fabulous restaurants nearby, or have it at home as you watch the sunset over the lake.
This private, modernized (major renovation completed 2018-19), 5 bedroom* cottage consists of two floors. The upper floor has a fully equipped kitchen , a large great room with a dining and living area, featuring a beamed cathedral ceiling, skylights, a dramatic fireplace, and an entertainment area with a wide screen TV. The dining room table seats eight and overlooks the lake. A transitional kitchen "island" seats an additional four. A screened porch overlooking the lake extends off of the dining area. An open porch overlooking the lake extends off the living room area. The master bedroom, with a king bed, and one full custom bath are on this floor. Downstairs, three bedrooms (two with queen beds one with one twin bed) have lake views. The fourth bedroom has two twin beds. A full bathroom, a second refrigerator, and a utility room with a washer and dryer are on this floor. The middle bedroom has large sliding glass doors which open to a large patio area with a garden, lawn chairs, fire pit, and two picnic tables. A four burner Napoleon gas grill overlooks the patio, with easy access to the kitchen. The downstairs does not have AC, but the upstairs living room and master bedroom has AC. The downstairs generally stays cool as it is nestled in the hill.
A flight of half-steps (constructed for a gentleman who had just had a knee replacement) leads to the dock and the lake. Two canoes, two kayaks, and two stand up paddleboards come with this rental. There are also various floats for swimming. Lake Garfield is managed for weed control (the water is lowered each winter to kill off the weeds) so the water is one of the the clearest in Massachusetts.
A magical lakeside retreat with all the comforts of home and easily accessible to the world-renowned art, culture, dining, and entertainment of the Berkshire hills. Look forward to a memorable vacation.

Summary: On Lake Garfield we learned the 1 1/2 yr old loves boats. He sat calm and content in the canoe and the sit-upon kayak, even in a tight life-jacket. His 2-yr-old cousin, not so much. Swimming was her jam. Every family member found something to love about the house. The cozy bedrooms, the garden patio, the game closet, the well-equipped kitchen. The house had comfortable spots for conversations heavy or light. The location near Great Barrington is convenient, and hikers can easily get to the AT on Main Road. Highly recommended.

Summary: This was our third year staying at this beautiful lake house. The kitchen is fully stocked, the living room and enclosed porch have an amazing view of the lake. The private dock too is fully stocked with boats, paddle boards and floaties. The location is perfect, easy to get to Tanglewood, hiking trails, Great Barrington and many other towns in the Berkshires. We are already looking forward to coming back next summer

Summary: We were looking for a place where we could spend a relaxing time with our adult children who live across the country and the world. We found it here! What a perfect place to spend time together. We appreciated the great indoor and outdoor gathering spaces- so comfy! We kayaked and canoed daily, cooked meals together in the well stocked kitchen and slept well in the quiet. Everyone loved it and we hope to return again.

Summary: This house was a holiday to stay in, lake views, every amenity, boats, cooking supplies and beautiful landscaping that blended in with the Berkshires forest. The location is ideal for visits to The Clark, Chesterwood, Norman Rockwell Museum, Tanglewood and restaurants in Great Barrington along with the myriad of local hiking trails like at the Bidwell House. Sunsets and moon watching, kayaking and swimming from the dock made staying on the property all you need for a wonderful, restorative and fun vacation.
