    This place was lovely- the pictures don’t do it justice from the uniqueness of the house and the beauty of the dock and lake (especially when the sun starts going down). Two families stayed to utilize as a meeting spot while visiting 6 flags and mount greylock. Would highly recommend

    This was a perfect home for two families, comfortable and plenty of space. The lower family room was everyone's favorite hang-out space and the screened in porch was perfect for coffee in the morning. The walk to and from the lake wasn't bad at all. (The less active of us maybe had to stop to catch our breath a couple times on the way back up, but that would have been the case whether it were stairs, rocks, or dirt.) We spent most of our time on the dock or in the water, perfect for a family reunion with a variety of ages.Mary Beth and James were very quick to respond to questions and one house need we had. If we ever are in this area again, we would love to stay in their lovely home.

    Two families, each with a small child spent a lovely long weekend at this property. The house was well stocked with ample kitchen items (pots/pans, plates, glasses, etc), and our kids in particular appreciated the games. The lake access was an awesome feature. We spent hours on the dock, fishing, swimming, kayak/SUPing, and just enjoying the view. We appreciated the proximity to Great Barrington and to the parking area for the short walk to the tranquility of Steadman Pond. We would definitely stay here again.

    The house may have a view of Lake Garfield in the winter, but it is not vey close to the dock. The house is nice, unfortunately both bathrooms are downstairs and most bedrooms are upstairs. We enjoyed the screened porch and large TV room. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and cooking oil.

    We had such a lovely time in this incredibly charming lake home. It was perfect for our group of women artists getting away from the daily routine/scene while focusing on individual work. Much time was spent sketching/working on the screened-in porch, splashing around in the lake, and group dinners around one of the three dining tables on the premises. This house was well stocked with everything needed for a comfortable and fun stay: board games galore, multiple boating options, and various spaces to gather inside or out. Can't wait to return! note: As a lake house can get a little musky in btwn visitors, we noticed such upon arrival. Luckily this was mitigated once we turned on the downstairs air-conditioners and dehumidifier. (We were there during a heatwave of mid-80's during daytime.) There were also many fans throughout the house to circulate the refreshing nighttime air.

    Clean, comfortable and spacious. Could easily accommodate a large family or friend group. Kitchen set up to cook anything you like. Quiet setting but also has TV, wifi and games galore with lake access with kayaks and canoes.

    We had a lovely time at the lake house! This property was well suited for our group, which included grandparents and children! The twin bed rooms are perfect for children, and the 3 queen rooms work well for adults. It is important to note that only one bedroom is downstairs (the primary) and both bathrooms are downstairs. If you have seniors or anyone with mobility issues, they will need to use the primary queen bedroom downstairs as the stairs to the 4 bedrooms upstairs are quite steep. Likewise, both bathtubs are claw-footed tubs, so it may be challenging for anyone with knee or hip problems to use the showers. On a positive note, the bathrooms are well-appointed with bath towels, great water pressure and hot water, and have good lighting! The communal spaces are the real star of this property. The family room has 2 HUGE sectionals for lounging/enjoying a movie. The living room area was great for our group - we enjoyed family game nights and reading. The screened porch was a treat both during the daytime and evening for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors without needing to worry about mosquitos. There's lots of options for dining, and the kitchen had a great assortment of equipment for meal prep. The only A/C is on the first floor, but the upstairs was comfortable at night with the fans upstairs during our stay. The property was 15-40 minutes away from activities. Our host was very attentive. :) We would definitely stay again!
