Welcome to Forget-Me-Not by AvantStay!

Bold, modern design perched right above the shores of Lake Garfield. Forget-Me-Not is a vast, three-story Berkshires retreat with unobstructed lake views, a lofted, industrial-chic design, and plenty of ways to keep your group comfortable and entertained. The home's moody exterior gives way to a bright, open common area where you'll find huge windows for tons of natural light, a spacious kitchen, and vaulted ceilings over the main living room. A cozy sunroom leads to Forget-Me-Not’s large deck, which features a BBQ grill and outdoor dining table for al fresco meals overlooking the water. Soak in the hot tub, or head inside for a round of ping pong, cornhole, or heat up in the custom-built sauna. The lower floor features a second living room complete with a kitchenette and pool table, so your group will have plenty of room to spread out. With tons of privacy and unbeatable proximity to the shoreline, this contemporary lake retreat is ready to show you the best of the Berkshires.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

    The house & location are wonderful. We were there for a week & we totally enjoyed ourselves. The difference between a good house & an excellent house is that everything works in an excellent house. There are a few items that do need attention. (1) The lock on the back door to the patio was broken when we arrived. We were all surprised it was not fixed before our arrival. I reported it the first day but it never was fixed. A temporary solution was offered the day before we left. (2) The water pressure is poor. A plumber was sent out the first day to try to fix it. An air lock was the problem and venting that was only a temporary solution. We were a total of 6 adults & only one person could take a shower at a time. If two people showered, one shower would just trickle. If the sink in the kitchen was on at the same time, one of the showers would stop for a minute. An air lock in the pipes would ensue. For a house that is supposed to sleep 10, that is just not acceptable. (3) Hot water. The last person to shower never had enough. (4) No dressers. 3 couples with clothes for a week. The limited shelving in the closets were not enough. (5) No full length mirrors. (6) The internet kicks you off randomly. (7) The pool table would be great if there weren’t an obvious slant that gathered the balls on one side of the table. The surface of the table has a tear & there was no chalk for the cue sticks. (8) The dock has no cleats. There are poles at each end of the dock that be used.

    Host not communicative, we had an issue with the back door not being able to be locked, hot tub would not get hot (just warm), upstairs heating vs AC distribution was very strange (upstairs bedrooms were cold while the upstairs hallway was uncomfortably warm), poor water pressure and loose fixtures in the bathrooms.

    Great house! Overall very spacious and new with premium features and finishes throughout.We got a lot of use out of the beautiful kitchen and had plenty of space for people around the dining table for our big family meals. The views out of the windows were gorgeous. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very large and comfortable. The bunk beds were the sturdiest we had ever seen. The sauna was a huge hit. Also, we came a week after a huge blizzard and were able to drive in without real issues—the last road was slushier but the driveway was totally pristine.Some notes: we stayed in mid-February and found the basement was too cold to spend time in unless we were actively playing pool in sweaters, and some of the bedrooms were colder than others. Water pressure could also have been higher in some bathrooms. We were disappointed that the hot tub never came up to a usable temperature. No fault of anybody's, but a neighborhood dog did go to the bathroom on the driveway, which wasn't ideal. The doggo also paid us many surprise visits by peeking in through the front door and rear windows.

    The house is beautiful - great location. Was perfect for our 3-family vacation. Plenty of space for kids to play and for adults to hang out.

    The house was exactly as advertised. The surroundings were beautiful, the house was clean and seemed quite new. Everything worked great, and we were all surprised with how quickly the sauna heated up. If we are back in the area we definitely would stay here again.

    The house was very beautiful and relaxing, and my family had a great time getting together. The house matched the pictures and was even nicer in person. There was plenty of room for three couples and three children to hang out together as well as to have their own space. The host was very thoughtful about leaving instructions and very responsive to our few questions. They made everything easy! Would definitely rent this house again and from AvantStay again.

    This home is located right on the water and is very well equiped. Basic equipment is provided and the home is very clean. With a few improvements this place would be 5 stars but a whole house manual is needed at the home with clear instructions and photos to help find your way around all the many nuances at the property. Everything worked as it should after a lot of frustration trying to figure out all the light switches, remotes, instructions
