Escape to the peaceful shores of Long Bow Lake in the Berkshires.

The Space:

Wake up to peaceful lake views and enjoy a slower pace at this inviting waterfront retreat in the Berkshires.



Bright, open living spaces create an easy flow between the kitchen, dining area, and comfortable living room, making the home ideal for spending quality time together. A dedicated workspace and sunroom provide quiet corners to read, work remotely, or simply enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Our extended family stayed for a long weekend to catch up with each other and make the most of summer in the Berkshires. This property did not disappoint! It was clean, had nice furnishings, a nice hot tub, a great deck, plenty of room for large family dinners and games, and paddle boards and kayaks to use too. The neighborhood is quiet, and this property is next door to the beach. The lake itself is very clean and even though the weather was perfect we felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves! The owners were very responsive and the check-in and check-out processes were both very easy. We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, but in reality we were close enough to Lee that instacart delivered groceries, or we could go to shops etc if the weather had been iffy. We all had a great time and would definitely stay here again!
