The Great Escape Ski Chalet on Lake Garfield w/Hot Tub By Great Barrington

Imagine waking up to soft morning light streaming through skylights, brewing coffee in a designer kitchen, and stepping onto your deck to overlook the peaceful waters of Lake Garfield. Welcome to our newly renovated 5BR Berkshire lake & ski retreat—thoughtfully reimagined by an Architect and Interior Designer to create a serene, elevated vacation experience.
Just 5 minutes to Ski Butternut, 20 minutes to Catamount, and 15 minutes to vibrant downtown Great Barrington, you’ll be perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the Berkshires: skiing, hiking, dining, shopping, and endless outdoor adventures.
Inside, the home is bright, spacious, and designed for groups of 12–14 to relax in comfort. Enjoy 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms with oversized smart TVs and wood burning fireplace, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, dining room, and front & rear decks with BBQ.
Natural light fills the house, framing views of the lake and surrounding trees.
Step outside to enjoy a 6-person hot tub with lake views, a fully fenced backyard perfect for families and pets, and a Solo Stove smokeless fire pit sitting area for cozy evenings under the stars.
A short 5-minute walk brings you to the white-sand public beach of Lake Garfield, with picnic tables, lifeguards in season, floating docks for swimmers to use and a boat launch. Guests are welcome to use our 2 kayaks, conveniently stored by the beach during summer months.
Whether you’re planning a ski trip, summer lake vacation, family gathering, or relaxing Berkshires getaway, our home provides the perfect setting. From peaceful mornings by the water to evenings around the fire pit, every moment here feels like a true escape.
Book your unforgettable Berkshires stay—lakefront living, designer comfort, and incredible outdoor access await.
