About this house rental
Family vacation lake house on lake Garfield, Monterey MA. Beautiful lake location nestled in the hills of the Berkshires on a private road tucked amongst old growth hemlocks. With great views up and down the lake from either of two large platform docks, or the front deck of the house or large sun deck will grill and eating area. This lake home is a great escape it featuring 2 kayaks (single and double), 2 SUPs, a row boat and many floats for relaxing in the water. The swimming and fishing is very good as the water is clean with cool spots in this spring feed lake. Centrally located to access all the Berkshire' has to offer, whether concert going at Tanglewood or shopping and dining in Great Barrington, or Stockbridge, Lenox, Pittsfield or hiking, bird watching, exploring or just relaxing and take in a clearer view of the night sky this could be the best balance you are looking for.
Our home is also a nice balance between the look and feel of an all wood cedar and pine lake cabin, but large enough to sleep 10 or more with modern kitchen, large family dinner table. Lots of space with 6 split levels tiered down toward the shore line. 5 bed rooms ranging from a bunk room down stairs to a private suite up top, 4 queens, 4 twins. GUESTS PROVIDE OWN LINENS AND TOWELS. Extra blankets and pillows in each bedroom.

My family had an incredible week at this lake house! The house itself is filled with amenities, including travel essentials in case you forgot anything and a full first-aid kit. The game closet was stocked with options for all ages and tastes, entertaining our 9 and 13-year-olds, as well as the adults.The view from the porch was amazing, and we enjoyed many meals there. We loved having separate docks for swimming and fishing, and we were grateful for access to the boats. The lake was beautiful! We spent hours swimming, fishing, and boating. The owner was very responsive and kind.Just a heads-up: this is a six-level split-level house with even more steps down to the lake, so it's not ideal for those with bad knees. Also, as an older home by the lake, it had a "camp clean" feel, meaning we saw a few bugs and ants here and there. Nothing problematic or invasive, just what you'd expect. The only other downside was that only two rooms had air conditioning, making the other rooms a bit warm at night, even with fans.

This is a relaxing family home full of wonderful and unique knick knacks and vintage items. It has a great kitchen with everything you need and a dining room and two decks overlooking the serene lake. The beds are very comfortable and there are individual heating controls in each room. It is cozy and comfortable with its own charm that grows on you. And of course there are the beautiful Berkshires and Great Barrington to explore all around.

We really like Lake Garfield, and the house had very good access to the lake. The house is somewhat tired, and there were some things that could use attention like lamps and bulbs that didn't work, but the host was very responsive and we had an enjoyable week.
