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. Amenities Portable camp toilet located beneath the treehouse Weber BBQ Wifi access Floating jetty & dock Two paddleboards for guests to enjoy Crystal-clear lake water (great for swimming, fishing, and boating) Things to Do We’re just a 15-minute drive from Great Barrington or Lee—ideal for dining, shopping, or exploring local culture.

Quentin's treehouse on Lake Garfield offers a tranquil escape with its stunning views and comfortable accommodations. Guests consistently praise the serene atmosphere, the vibrant fall foliage, and the opportunity for water activities like paddleboarding. While the charm of the treehouse is undeniable, visitors note that bringing extra bedding can enhance comfort, especially in colder months. The location is ideal for those looking to unwind by the water and enjoy peaceful evenings by the fire.

Truly magical location. The space itself is simple and clean, the bed is comfortable (we brought our own sleeping bags.) Already thinking about when I might come back in the summer.

Beautiful space!
Amazing location with a great host. Cant wait to come back! TIP: its totally doable to stay in the cabin in the winter, but a portable / battery powered space heater would be a very good idea to bring.

Lake Garfield Retreat
With pets
I loved staying at Quentin’s Treehouse on Lake Garfield. It was quite the experience in October as the views of fall foliage were abundant and beautiful. Quentin was an excellent host and made sure we had a heated electric blanket as the nights are chilly in October. He made it a special experience for us, and I would love to visit again if it isn’t already booked. We whole-heartedly recommend this site :)) -Flynn

Beautiful Berkshires Getaway
We had an amazing time at the treehouse. It was the perfect Berkshires getaway to officially end the summer. We brought our kayaks and had a beautiful chilly morning paddle. There are paddle boards provided as well. Love the large table, it gave us plenty of room to be able to cook. The hammock was incredibly comfortable. Quentin was very kind and accommodating. We wish we had stayed longer. Check the weather and bring adequate bedding. It’s colder by the lake than you’d expect. The stairs to the treehouse are pretty steep, so keep that in mind. WiFi wasn’t a great connection but we didn’t need it anyway. Great time to unplug. Bring your own chairs if you wish to sit upright. The chairs at the site are very comfortable but more for “lounging”
