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. Incredible hiking trails are scattered throughout the surrounding area. Good to Know Please respect the natural surroundings—no damaging trees or leaving litter. Firewood bundles are available at nearby gas stations or directly from me. I look forward to welcoming you to this peaceful, magical space in the Berkshires.It's a treehouse covered in wisteria with a clear corrugated roof, fully flyscreened in with canvas blinds.

Please be respectful of the environment (no hurting the trees, please!) Firewood in bundles can be found at any gas station in the nearby area or from me at $1 a log from behind the shed.
