Vacation rentals with a kayak in The Berkshires

Had a great time with friends for the weekend. Beautiful view of the lake and plenty of space. Everything is labeled in the kitchen so you can easily find everything you need!

This is our third year in a row staying here and every year it’s better than the last. The best host(s) we’ve ever had and the house is amazing. We highly recommend this property.

Peaceful, perfect getaway. Jaryn’s cabin on Lake Garfield was the ideal escape—cozy, quiet, and surrounded by nature. We loved the lake access, morning coffee on the porch, and how easy everything was.

Wonderful and peaceful stay for a relaxing girls weekend. Outstanding clean and comes with everything you may need. The space is kid friendly, and extremely beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

This was my second time staying at Maureen’s beautiful lakeside home and it surely won’t be my last. It’s the coziest, peaceful and inspiring place. Looking forward to future visits!

We had a wonderful stay at this location during my daughter’s graduation from Bard College. The location has beautiful views of the lake and the layout of the property was perfect for the family to gather and celebrate, while also giving everyone the space for their own quiet time or rest. I would definitely recommend this location and hope to have the opportunity to stay again.

We had a great time at Francois & Ann's oasis by the lake. It was so relaxing to wake up, look at the lake, and listen to birds chirp. If you are looking for isolation, this place does the trick, We didn't see anyone all week on the lake or at the other cabins until the day we left. The lake has excellent fishing. With little effort, we caught several decent-sized bass and pickerel right off the dock. The location is ideal. You feel like you are out in the country, but are close to great restaurants in Kinderhook and only 25 minutes from Hudson or Albany. It's also only an hour from Mass Moca and 90 minutes to Cooperstown. Francois and Ann were very communicative and quickly responded to questions and comments.

We stayed here on our way to Stowe to break up our long drive with an 8 and 2 year old. It ended up being a wonderful mini trip that we didn't want to leave. The house exceeded our expectations in terms of quality, cleanliness, and amenities. And the location was excellent - about 10 to 12 min to the nearest grocery store and downtown with restaurants, Edith Wharton's estate about 20 min away, and Great Barrington/Stockbridge were easily accessible for day trips. We plan to come back for skiing, and to take advantage of the lake activities in the summer. The only downside was the busy road, as mentioned in the listing, but the traffic quieted down in the evening and it didn't affect our sleep at night with the bedrooms located in the back of the house (husband is a very light sleeper; we did bring and use sound machines just in case).

WOW! Could not have been a more perfect stay! The setting was so beautiful, serene and peaceful. We had lot's of activity paddle boarding, kayaking, BBQing! Most of the time we were the only people on the lake. Early June was a perfect time to be there. It was just such a gorgeous and relaxing setting. The house was fabulous for our family reunion and ideal for our adventurous 1 year old. Our host was simply amazing. He had items delivered to our door when we had questions...even sent us a bag of groceries to make Smores on the lake! We hope to make this an annual event! We'll definitely be back.

Excellent and beautiful location. Very scenic and tranquil. The location allows you to relax while still being in reach of everything. The unit was very well maintained and clean. All the Amenities of home without the chaos.

I stayed at this place for my husband's birthday, The house is beautiful and very quiet, I loved the interior and the view. The only things you need to be aware is the AC is located in the living room, inside the room you need to use fans or leave the door open

Our 2 day stay at the cottage was just what we’d hoped for our wedding weekend! Annalisa was so responsive and accommodating. A wonderful host, such wonderful hospitality and an amazingly stunning private retreat! Would definitely return!

Thank you Ellen for the easeful stay at your cottage with clear instructions. The surroundings are beautiful. We saw an eagle at the lake!

Lori and Mark are great hosts, very quick communication and always ready to answer any question you may have. The cabin was nice and clean and had all the things needed for a great stay. Great kayaks to take to the water. All in all just a great spot to hang out for a few days.

What a wonderful and peaceful location! Doreen was very responsive and exceptionally helpful. The pictures are spot with a very clean and well stocked home. Amazing views from the bedroom and second floor deck. Amazing place to fish, kayak, and just enjoy the scenery! Enjoyed hiking nearby, great food in the area and a very scenic location to relax.

Stayed for a long weekend with my wife and two dogs. Cottage was comfortable and clean with an amazing view of the lake with a nice patio and access to the dock which we enjoyed. Also great location just a bit over an hour from the city but within a 15 minute drive to many great hikes and close to many great food options. Tony was also very responsive and helpful with recommendarions. Highly recommend.

We had a great time at Jill’s place! The house had everything we needed and was super clean. The views out to the lake were beautiful and the paddle boards were a lot of fun! The nearest grocery store is about 8 minutes away, and the town of Liberty isn’t much further. The check in process was easy, and Jill is a great and responsive host. Also, there’s a sweet vinyl collection with a great sound system! Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay fishing, walking and just relaxing. Did some driving to Speculator and Indian Lake too. Good plan when it’s buggy!

Really charming cottage in the woods, and great, responsive hosts. Really had a nice time in this wooded and rural area, with two lakes nearby and the canoes on white lake. The cottage was clean and had a sleek, minimalist, scandanavian style (I felt like I was back in Sweden from years ago), which we appreciated! very peaceful at night and the AC worked great which helped out greatly on the hot days we were there. It's close enough to Woodstock museum/grounds, good food and laid back entertainment options in neighboring towns. Overall, a great stay, thank you!

The cabin is a great place for couples and families, loved the layout, very cozy with great views of the lake. Went ice fishing on the lake, caught lots of bass. Spent mornings and evenings warming up next to the pellet stove, drinking tea enjoying the views. We had a great time, would love to come back in the summer.

We had an amazing time at Ruth’s home and we loved the cabin feel. Between the hot tub, lake, and lawn games our time went by so quickly. The home was very clean and had all the essentials. We will definitely be back again!

We loved our stay at Ed's cabin. it is a real gem and perfect for a long weekend away. we loved the fireplace, the rocking chairs, the windows with views out onto the lake that make you feel like you're right over the lake and in the trees. there were nice restaurants and hikes in the area, but we were perfectly content watching the lake and reading from the cabin. Ed was perfectly accommodating and extremely generous with his space, couldn't recommend more highly.

From the moment we walked in we felt so at ease and at home. It is completely updated and looks like it a professional interior decorator designed it. The pictures don't do it justice. About 5 min from Bethel Woods which was fantastic. Would recommend this beautiful home 100%.

This is the perfect cabin retreat. Beautiful property with incredible back porch views, stunning fireplace, creekside access, and gobbling turkeys in the distance. It was just what I was looking for to celebrate a birthday with friends. Secluded enough to feel private but close enough to a charming town for drinks and coffee. Jim was also super communicative and made it easy to settle in—he even gave me a heads up about the weather that weekend to make sure we were packed appropriately. I was considering a couple of places, and I’m so happy I chose this one. Highly recommend a visit. P.S. The heated floors are a really nice touch.
