COZY LOFT w\/ PRIVATE BEACH ON GORGEOUS MOUNTAIN LAKE IN THE BERKSHIRES
About this chalet rental
The LOFT is a unique private large 690 s.f. modern cabin like structure with great forest and garden views and access to our own private beach on this clean beautiful mountain lake, GOOSE POND. The area is spectacular. LOCATION The loft/lake are a short drive from Exit 10 of MA Pike in a countryside lake setting, near all of the cultural offerings that the BERKSHIRES has to offer: Tanglewood, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Shakespear and Co., Norman Rockwell Museum, Jacob's Pillow, Naumkeg, Kripalu, just to mention a few. Fantastic boutique shopping and great cafes are pleasant destinations in area towns. The Premium Outlet Village is just 10 minute away. LOFT The LOFT is a stand alone structure behind the owner's house.. It has a thoughtful, comfortable floor plan. All of our previous guests have commented that the Loft is much bigger than it appears in pictures, that it exceeded their expectations and is much more charming than any of the pictures depict it. There are designated areas in this open floor plan: bedroom area with a king bed, a kitchenette area equipped with small appliances and retro refrigerator, a dining area, a great living room area complete with a freestanding gas stove and a futon , a single bed situated privately in a raised alcove accessed by a 3'ship's ladder and a good sized bathroom with a generous sized shower. The Loft has an outdoor grill with a side burner on the large private back deck in the woods, internet, air conditioning and both the back deck and front deck are accessed by glass French Doors which let in all the light and brings the outdoors in. LAKE The walk down a tree lined path reveals a large flat lawn that borders the shorefront/beach of our beautiful lake.. There is a dock for hanging out in one of many zero gravity chairs, doing yoga with water surrounding you or fishing. Relax on the lawn in one of our unique Steamer Chairs. The swimming in this gorgeous, clean lake from our sandy beach is beyond compare. Kayak (5 available for use along with vests), take in the scenery and watch for the eagles and great blue herons at owners' private lakefront on Goose Pond, a large very clean and beautiful 270 acre lake of which the majority is in preservation. There are bocci and cornhole as well as indoor games. HIKING Hike around the top end of the upper lake or into the infamous Tyringham Valley on the nearby Appalachian Trail. There are many hiking opportunities surrounding us. There are many great restaurants in the area. INCREDIBLE IN SUMMER AND... The early summer and fall are also perfect times to visit the Loft and the Berkshires in general. The area is quieter and the scenery is spectacular. Fall foliage on the lake is something not to be misted and the free standing gas stove makes the evenings in the Loft cozy and contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere. Cultural opportunities are offered year long. Come and enjoy! Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate 4 legged family members at the loft.

After exhausting ourselves with the cities of New York, Newport, Boston and others, it was perfect to be able to slow down, catch our breath and enjoy the beauty of the area.
The loft is perfectly located for exploring all that the area has to offer at a leisurely pace.

The loft was the perfect place for my friend and I to have a relaxing girls weekend! The property was amazing! Steps away from a beautiful lake where we were able to go kayaking, relax by the water, and enjoy a fire in the evening! The loft itself was perfect - had so much character and plenty of space for two adults; great atmosphere all around!
The location is perfect as well! Close to many hiking trails and a little downtown area with shops and restaurants.
Tim and Gail were terrific hosts! They thought of everything guests would need when staying in the loft! They even built my friend and I a fire in the outdoor fire pit one evening. They were very responsive when communicating before the trip and available during our stay.
We highly recommend the loft!

First of all, this loft is in the perfect location. The lake is beautiful, and the hosts take great pride in their property- and wanted to make sure we felt like we were at home. The Loft was perfect for what we were looking for- relaxation, a home base for some Berkshire adventures, and a home away from home. Tim, Gail, and Isabelle were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. What a great place for our girls weekend! Thank you both so much!

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised how nice this cozy loft was. And it was exactly that. In a perfect place for R&R or if you wanted to do outdoor adventures. Gail and Tim were wonderful hosts. And their dog Isabella greeted us as well. Tim came right out upon our arrival and showed us where everything was and how it worked.
A very great experience for us.

The loft was simply perfect. Incredibly well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen, loads of towels, comfy bed and spotless. The location was incredibly convenient but also felt like we were 'away'. The shared property on the lake, with dock and access to kayaks, etc. was so pretty and Gail and Tim were exceptional hosts and generous. We'll be back!

The loft space is cozy and comfortable, uniquely designed and very clean. The pond is everything you could want! Gorgeous and crystal clear. Gail is a wonderful host, and very generous with use of the space. I loved kayaking, hydro-biking, swimming, and relaxing in the loft. Looking forward to returning soon.

We loved our stay at Goose Pond. The location was great for beaching, swimming and kayaking, and Gail and Tim were great hosts, and Isabella their dog is very nice and friendly .
There are lots of chairs for lounging at the private lakeside and kayaks for paddling.
The room was charming and perfect for us (a couple). The back deck was very private and we enjoyed breakfast and night time stargazing there.
We had everything we needed in the small kitchen
And a nice living room seating area as well
Easy rides to Lenox and Tanglewood(20mins) and other Berkshire attractions and towns, hiking etc.
we wished we could stay longer!

The hosts Gail and Tim were so nice, full of helpful advice about local restaurants and back routes. My wife and I were solo the first night, two friends joined us for the second night.
The cabin sleeps 5 quite comfortably, but it has to be people who are comfortable being around each other, there are no walls between beds. It's absolutely ideal for one couple and still quite comfortable for 4-5.
The pond views are spectacular, the whole area is lush and bountiful looking. Highly recommended rental.

We had such an awesome time at the loft and we hope to return. Like many reviews before us stated, the photos do not do it justice. The craftsmanship, attention to detail and comfort were unmatched. Our oldest son loved the captains bed and kept saying how much he loved our vacation home. We really did feel right at home from the minute we arrived. Gail, Tim and Isabella were excellent, accomidating, helpful and kind hosts! Everything we thought we might need was already there. We fished Goose pond, ate at many host reccomended local restaraunts and had a beautiful relaxing weekend. The views from the loft windows are all lovely. We hope our next trip we can stay longer. Thank you Gail and Tim!!

The loft is amazing! Comfortable and has everything you need. The pond was peaceful. We were fishing and kayaking each day. The hosts Gail and Tim were super nice and quick to answer any questions we had. We grabbed ice cream in town at Lucky’s. It was delicious. We had a lovely weekend!

This loft was awesome! Gail and Tim were awesome hosts. The loft is an architectural wonder with natural wood, hand made touches throughout, comfortable bed and furniture and a cozy gas stove. The lakeside location was great. We loved the floating dock and aqua cycle! Gail told us about a back road that led us a cattle pastures, Mountain View’s and nature. You can’t beat the location. We drove the long way to Great Barrington. What a wonderful day! This place is 5 stars!

Loved everything about The Lodge. We had everything we needed and then some. The property was very clean and organized. Loved the little touches like the bathrobes and the info booklet on the kitchen table. We plan on going back next year, hopefully at least a couple of times!

We had a great time at the Loft! It was well equipped with everything you could need and it was quaint… Gail and Tim took the rowboat out of dry dock for us and we spent 5 hours on the lake fishing…. So much fun! If you want beautiful surroundings, great hosts and a comfy, cozy place to stay… the Loft is it!! Thank you Tim and Gail!!

We had a wonderful stay from the moment we arrived. They made us feel like welcome friends. The property is beautiful and perfectly maintained. We were only sorry that we left a little early in the day because it it l was raining so day, and we couldn't make his use of the lake. We hope to return.

As others have said, the pictures fail to convey the charm of this place. It’s private and comfortable and right on a gorgeous lake. The owners left us alone but were available if we needed anything. We loved reading on the wooded deck and borrowing the kayaks to paddle up to upper goose pond. The only issue we had is not the fault of the owners - the neighbors had construction going on and we were woken up in the mornings to the sounds of saws and earth movers :( Other than that, this was a perfect stay! Thank you and we hope to return.

The loft is a very well-maintained, clean, and cozy large studio-like accommodation above a two car garage on gorgeous Goose Pond. The loft is located behind the owner's main home, and there is a very short walk to the lakefront where you can access the lake for kayaking, swimming, canoeing, and hydro biking. There is a comfortable small living room with a futon, chair and cable television with Netflix. The small kitchen is well equipped with a large built in bench and table with chairs. The king sized bed was very comfortable. There are three overhead fans to circulate air, and a large air conditioner which cools very well. The decor is very pretty, largely all wood and is decorated very nicely. It would comfortably accommodate three people.
My husband and I stayed for three nights in July and spent most of our time on the lake. We kayaked to Upper Goose Pond which is a federally protected lake, so there are no homes. It is a beautiful peaceful place to just unwind and commune with nature. We also enjoyed sitting on the floating deck early in the morning and in the evening. Since we have friends, who live on the lake, we plan to go back in September and hopefully many summers in the future.
My only minor concern is that the roof of the loft is slanted and you have to be cognizant not to bump your head on the slant. As you enter the loft there is also a low section of ceiling at the bottom of the stairs where you could bump your head. This was not a problem for us, as I am short and my husband is of average height, but for someone who is tall, (over 6 feet), the slant may be somewhat uncomfortable.
Thank you Gail and Tim for being so friendly and accommodating!

Our visit to Goose Pond was one of the best vacation rentals I've ever made. The loft is an airy and pleasant accommodation. It is well laid out, VERY clean, and comfortable. The hosts--Gail and Tim--are lovely as well, and their property provides waterfront views and access to one of the cleanest lakes in the area.

We are so glad that we found The Loft. Gail and Tim and Isabella are very welcoming and kind. The property is gorgeous set beside a crystal clear lake. The Loft itself was a wonderful space - as noted - the photos do not do it complete justice. We grilled a really nice dinner, we enjoyed breakfast on the deck, we relaxed by the lake, we canoed all around and we swam. Lenox and Tanglewood are close by. Thank you JT! Another note on the The Loft - all of the linens and towels are provided a-plenty. We certainly hope to visit again. Thank you so much Gail and Tim!

Gail and Tim have such a quaint and inviting place on the lake. They were so accommodating and friendly. The house had two balconies and was so cozy and every detail of the place was clean, updated and felt like a home away from home. The lake water is so clean and the kayaks and water bike were so fun as well. We loved going around the lake and both Tim and Gail helped give us details and recommendations for places to eat or check out as well. They had life jackets and were so wonderful about helping us surprise our mom for her retirement. They helped us make it even more special. We couldn’t recommend this place any more because we wish we could give it 10 stars instead of 5. We had the most lovely weekend and look forward to getting back.
