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!

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!
