Stay
Situated on the pristine waters of Pontoosuc Lake in Lanesborough, Massachusetts at the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, The Lake House is a waterfront, boutique-style cottage resort; offering an all-season charming and tranquil escape with a touch of luxury in the heart of The Berkshires- meaning you can get to any part of the Berkshires within 30 minutes!
Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, we have you covered and provide all equipment for non-motorized water sports including fishing poles, canoes, paddleboards, kayaks, and life jackets. Bring your own boat or Jet Ski and dock it at The Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires’ private boat launch.
Autumn on the Pontoosuc brings renowned Berkshire foliage, crisp fall days, and spectacular sunsets. And in the winter, cozy up next to your personal stone gas fireplace after an active day of ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. The Lake House Guest Cottages of the Berkshires offers both a relaxing and exhilarating escape all year round.
Our seven cottages, which can be rented out wholly or individually, include The Lake House Lodge (our largest unit), The Artists Cottage, The Writers Cottage, The Dock Masters Cottage – and the newly constructed The Greylock Cottage, The Holiday Cottage, and The BerkShire Cottage.
