Good location relative to Butternut, house was clean and well appointed all be it a little tired but the view is spectacular. Incredible view of the lake, I bet the fall and summer views are very memorable. Everything worked well, no complaints. The working wood fireplace was a treat for me.

Home was simple but spacious. My husband, two adult children, and I were comfortable. The cabin is right on beautiful Lake Garfield. We found it to be a convenient home base, a short drive away from Jacob’s Pillow and Tanglewood.
