About the Space Welcome to our lakeside treehouse retreat on the shores of historic Lake Garfield—named after President Garfield, who once summered here. This unique stay is tucked away in the beautiful Berkshires at 1,200 feet elevation, making for cool, crisp nights and star-filled skies. Originally the boatshed for the President’s summer home, the treehouse was built 15 years ago as a cozy sleepout perfect for stargazing and unwinding in nature. The Treehouse Perched in the trees and draped in wisteria, the treehouse features a clear corrugated roof, full flyscreening, and canvas blinds—keeping it breezy and bug-free. There’s a comfy hanging double bed with a high-quality mattress. Please note: guests need to bring their own sheets, bedding, and pillows.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Staying at Quentin's treehouse offers a unique and enchanting camping experience by a pristine lake, complete with a sturdy and cozy structure that is surprisingly bug-free. The treehouse is well-equipped for cooking, and guests appreciate the availability of firewood for purchase from Quentin. Many reviewers highlight the peacefulness and beauty of the lake, especially in the morning, and the opportunity to engage in water activities like paddle boarding and swimming. While the treehouse is charming and offers a true escape into nature, some guests note the proximity to other houses and the need for mobility to access the treehouse as potential drawbacks.

If you are anticipating bad weather I would recommend cancelling. We didn't see the forecast until after the 3 day cancellation period. In the high wind and rain we had a terrible 2 nights where we didn't feel safe at all and couldn't sleep. There was also a drowned porcupine floating in the dock area, so definitely bring your own drinking water. I do think in the summer it would be a far more enjoyable experience as it is a really beautiful area, but for such a high cost, it is not worth it to me and it really was not the wedding anniversary experience we were hoping for.

Loved the treehouse! Exactly as pictured and described. The fire pit and grate for cooking worked great and it was nice that you can buy firewood from Quentin directly at a good price. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a lovely time at Quentin's treehouse. The directions to the site and the parking were very clear. The treehouse itself was sturdy, cozy, and surprisingly bug-free. It was fairly easy for us to climb up and down with our things but I agree with some other reviewers that it might not be an accessible option if you have mobility issues. There was a great setup for cooking with a large metal work table directly by the fire pit, and the provided grill cover and grate were also very handy. Nice that he had firewood for sale, as well. The lake was peaceful, clean, and especially gorgeous in the morning with the mist rising off. Quentin is a great host and made us feel very welcome on his property. He's a kind communicator and struck a good balance between being present and allowing us our space to unwind. We felt very safe. Overall it was a lovely experience and we'd be glad to come back!
