Monterey, Massachusetts
RENOVATED Charm: 1920's cottage with 3 acres of natural surroundings. A short, 5 minute walk via nature trail and stairs to dock on Lake Garfield with Adirondack chairs, 2 kayaks and a large canoe. 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms provides plenty of space for your family enjoyment. At home enjoy the large, bright family room equipped with a flat screen TV with Satellite service, high speed internet & DVD player. In addition, there is a large living room and dining room area with a charming old stone fireplace.
The screened in porch is another great spot to relax...featuring a table for 6 and a seating area to enjoy the (winter) views of the lake, yard & perennial garden. The kitchen has a large eating island area brightly lit with skylights and stool seating for 5. The kitchen is equipped for every cooks needs...and plenty of cutlery & plates to feed a crowd! The large master bedroom is downstairs with four additional bedrooms upstairs.
It's Always quiet and serene on Lake Garfield. The lake is over 300 acres but seems uninhabited! Everyone has loved our house...and our great town. We hope you will enjoy it as well!
The home was well laid out and homey. The lake was an added bonus. We had a great few days away. Would definitely stay again!
The house easily accommodated myself and the other 6 adult family members with me. It is well appointed with plenty of room to gather and relax. Both bathrooms are on the first floor which can be little inconvenient. The lake water is very clear and the kayaks are handy for exploring the shoreline. The path to the lake in fairly steep and it has some uneven footing. This wasn't a problem for our group but it may be something that some guests need to consider. The dock area is shared with other families but the one that we met were friendly and considerate. Overall, we had a great time.
We had a wonderful restful stay at Lake Garfield. The house is well furnished with everything needed and is charming. I especially enjoyed morning coffee in the screened in porch. The path to the lake is steep so may be a problem for elderly o physically challenged folks. The boys did a lot of fishing and had pretty good results
This was our second stay at this property. Monterey is a quiet little town which is refreshing for us city folk but Great Barrington is close by for restaurants and shopping. There are innumerable hiking trails including the AT! The house itself is clean, kitchen is stocked with all the essentials, and the beds are comfortable. By far our favorite spot is the screened in porch. We highly recommend this listing!
We spent 5 nights in this family-friendly home near Lake Garfield. The extra large sofas in the living-room provided ample space for playing online games as a group. 6 grownups had plenty of room with room for possibly 4 more people! The walk down the nature path to the lake gave us our daily leg workout and led to a pristine, very swimmable spot with 2 docks (one in full sun, 1 in partial shade) and their were plenty of chairs for both. The drive to Great Barrington was lovely and we ate twice at No. 10 - it was that good. My family wants to rent this cozy house again next summer. Thanks for everything!
We absolutely loved our time in Monterey. The home is spacious and beautiful. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
Very comfortable house for all of us. We enjoyed the wood stove which really heats up. the kitchen is well equipped, has everything we needed; Very convenient to Great Barrington; the owner was very easy to work with. Hope to return again!
Well I think that the online photos were taken years ago. We drove by the house & then had to turn around. That was the start. From the entrance being crooked to the floors creaking the hose was older than we expected. Only modern appliance was the fridge & washing machine. Very small bedrooms upstairs to VERY SMALL bathrooms. Now the long walk to the dock. If you want to get in shape this is the place for you.
Lovely stay. The lakeside is beautiful and so relaxing. Beds are very comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us.
Extremely easy, house was beautiful and spacious. Fishing from the dock was awesome. 22 fish in 7 hours, 5 different species. Had a visit from a bear, awesome. The path to the lake is difficult but doable for most people.
