5 Bedroom House in Monterey

Get away from it all at our beautiful Berkshire lakefront wooded retreat. Swim, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, sunbathe, hike, bike, explore during the day. In the evening perhaps take a short drive to Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Shakespeare & Co, or Mahaiwe Performing Arts, or to the movies in Great Barrington. Have dinner at the Red Lion Inn, or one of the fabulous restaurants nearby, or have it at home as you watch the sunset over the lake.
This private, modernized (major renovation completed 2018-19), 5 bedroom* cottage consists of two floors. The upper floor has a fully equipped kitchen , a large great room with a dining and living area, featuring a beamed cathedral ceiling, skylights, a dramatic fireplace, and an entertainment area with a wide screen TV. The dining room table seats eight and overlooks the lake. A transitional kitchen "island" seats an additional four. A screened porch overlooking the lake extends off of the dining area. An open porch overlooking the lake extends off the living room area. The master bedroom, with a king bed, and one full custom bath are on this floor. Downstairs, three bedrooms (two with queen beds one with one twin bed) have lake views. The fourth bedroom has two twin beds. A full bathroom, a second refrigerator, and a utility room with a washer and dryer are on this floor. The middle bedroom has large sliding glass doors which open to a large patio area with a garden, lawn chairs, fire pit, and two picnic tables. A four burner Napoleon gas grill overlooks the patio, with easy access to the kitchen. The downstairs does not have AC, but the upstairs living room and master bedroom has AC. The downstairs generally stays cool as it is nestled in the hill.
A flight of half-steps (constructed for a gentleman who had just had a knee replacement) leads to the dock and the lake. Two canoes, two kayaks, and two stand up paddleboards come with this rental. There are also various floats for swimming. Lake Garfield is managed for weed control (the water is lowered each winter to kill off the weeds) so the water is one of the the clearest in Massachusetts.
A magical lakeside retreat with all the comforts of home and easily accessible to the world-renowned art, culture, dining, and entertainment of the Berkshire hills. Look forward to a memorable vacation.

Summary: We were delighted with the house! It was a little big for just the two of us and our little dog. We were looking for a retreat setting and this house delivered! The lake was lively over Labor Day weekend but was super calm and peaceful the rest of the week. I loved to sit on the dock and read! There are so many seating areas that even a much larger group would be really happy. The driveway is quite steep but the road in the area were very quiet and safe to walk our pup. The grocery store is about 15 minutes away. Great restaurants are an easy drive as well. The house was very well stocked with utensils and pans, pots, etc. We were excited to see a real coffee maker instead of a Keurig. We would certainly consider returning because we loved the placement of the house to the lake so much.
