About this property

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.

Awesome hideaway with everything you need!

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!

Serene and Tranquil

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.

Perfect weekend getaway!

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!

Just what we needed! Relaxation!

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!

Our anniversary get a way

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.

About the host

Hosted by Gail Puntin

We have lived on Goose Pond all of our adult lives and have raised our children here. My husband actually spent summers here while growing up and has never considered living anywhere else.

What makes this property unique

Goose Pond is an incredible mountain lake. We have always been in love with it. Goose Pond consists of 2 lakes connected by a channel. Upper Goose Pond is spectacular and is surrounded by National Park Land while much of Lower Goose Pond is in preservation too. It is a large 'mountain' lake that is very beautiful, clean, quiet and sought after by many especially those who kayak and canoe. Bird watchers will love it here. The bald eagle, great blue heron, osprey, loon and many others are seen almost daily. The lake provides great fishing and is stocked with salmon and trout and has native fish including bass as well. The pnly public access to the lake is a boat ramp so the only way to enjoy relaxing beach life is from private property and very few, if any are offered on our beautiful lake! In the fall, the mountains around the lake provide spectacular views as does the hiking available throughout the area. Fall is also an incredible season on our mountain lake and the gas stove keeps you toasty and has great ambiance.
