Forget-Me-Not by AvantStay | Bold Lakefront Escape

Bold, modern design perched right above the shores of Lake Garfield. Forget-Me-Not is a vast, three-story Berkshires retreat with unobstructed lake views, a lofted, industrial-chic design, and plenty of ways to keep your group comfortable and entertained. The home's moody exterior gives way to a bright, open common area where you'll find huge windows for tons of natural light, a spacious kitchen, and vaulted ceilings over the main living room. A cozy sunroom leads to Forget-Me-Not’s large deck, which features a BBQ grill and outdoor dining table for al fresco meals overlooking the water. Soak in the hot tub, or head inside for a round of ping pong, cornhole, or heat up in the custom-built sauna. The lower floor features a second living room complete with a kitchenette and pool table, so your group will have plenty of room to spread out. With tons of privacy and unbeatable proximity to the shoreline, this contemporary lake retreat is ready to show you the best of the Berkshires.

A visit to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts is a treat for anyone looking to pair stunning rural landscapes with an exciting cultural and culinary experience.

It wasn’t as nice as we expected
Overall very nice, but for the price and pictures expected the following: non stick pans need replacing, toilet paper holder needs re attachment to wall, cooking supplies sparse, luggage racks needed in each bedroom, door to outdoor screen room missing and bird flew in and could not get out, hand shower holder coming off the wall, tub filler too long and broken, towel holder loose, no trash cans outside as in instructions,lightbulb for ping pong area out, could not figure out TVs despite instructions, more and better pool cues and ping pong paddles, pool chalk needed, needs steps to get into hot tub—very unsafe, bedrooms have no dressers, a few flimsy hangers in closet, no where to unpack stuff, treacherous to walk down to dock, no mention of Jack and Jill bathroom, we expected each of us to have a full bathroom and did not realize the fourth full bathroom on the bottom floor away from all the bedrooms, could not get lights or music to work in hot tub, furniture in living room not comfortable, chair in living room seems unsafe, door to hot tub area missing. Best parts-lay out, size, views, neighborhood, Mia—the friendly old dog who came to visit us from the neighbors, bed comfort, AC, pool table

Family Get-away
This gorgeous home was a lovely setting for a multi-generational family get away. The house was more beautiful than the pictures, and the finishings were beautiful down to the last detail. The beds were extremely comfortable, there were plenty of linens, etc. The location was a little hard to navigate to; the road for the last mile isn't paved and the driveway is steep and curvy. The location was conveniently close to a few towns and ski mountains. Members of our group especially enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. The property manager was responsive to all of our inquiries. One hiccup was that the oven did not work during our stay and it wasn't fixed while we were there. We made due without it, but it was a strange issue given how beautiful and expensive the house looks and feels. We look forward to more visits in the future.

Great sibling weekend!!
The house was just beautiful even though getting there was a bit tricky in the winter!! There are two ways to access the property, sometimes Google is not your friend!! The special touches were definitely the hot tub and sauna. The beds and pillows were wonderful with top end linens. The only problem we encountered was a relatively small hot water tank, no more than 2-3 people could get in a hot shower without waiting for the tank to fill up again. Would love to visit in the summer to tske advantage of the beautiful lake!!
