Family & dog friendly, wildlife viewing! This stunning lakeside estate is located just 1½ hours north of NYC in the Berkshire foothills. Minimum rental is 3 days except during the peak season (generally Memorial Day week to Labor Day week), when rentals are 7 day minimum and run Saturday to Saturday. The Lake House offers a 4-season vacation destination for those seeking something truly unique, including use of the estate-owned, private 35-acre lake. The property offers a spacious, comfortable area for family gatherings or holidays, a group of friends looking for an escape from urban living, business retreats, or small to medium-sized weddings and other events. (Contact the owner for event pricing and details on additional guest space in the 2 bedroom carriage house apartment across the lake.) Perched on a peninsula along the shores of Lake Weil, The Lake House is a 4-bedroom contemporary home offering spectacular lake views from nearly every window. The house and property are family-friendly, senior-friendly, and wheelchair accessible: The lawn slopes gradually down to the private beach (no stairs), the first floor bedroom has a connecting door to the adjacent full bathroom, and there is a ramp to the front door. Whatever the time of year, whether your group is an extended family with parents, grandparents, kids, and grand kids, just your immediate family, or some friends looking to spend time together, The Lake House will feel like you’ve come home. WINTER: A calm blanket of ice typically covers most of the lake. If there’s snow, bundle up and build a friendly snowman or flop down on the ground to make a snow angel. Feeling more energetic? Skiing is available at Thunder Ridge, just 20 minutes away. If you’re feeling too warm and cozy inside to leave, just relax by the fire inside and enjoy the view. The area is bursting with wildlife, so don’t be surprised to see deer, turkeys, foxes, maybe even a bobcat or bear. Any open water will likely attract ducks and geese, and bald eagles frequently make use of it to hunt and fish. After dark, play backgammon, cards, or one of the many board games provided. Make some popcorn, kick back, and watch a movie together on the huge flat-screen TV. SPRING: Take advantage of fabulous views of the lake as it’s visited by numerous species of migrating ducks. Use the binoculars and spotting scope to see them courting, and later, showing off their offspring. Eagles, herons, swans, hawks, muskrats, otters, fox, and deer may also visit to round out your wildlife viewing. Watch the mists as they swirl and dance just above the water. Fishing is available as a year-round sport, as Lake Weil is home to White Rock Fishing Preserve, stocked with trout, as well as hosting natural populations of bass, catfish, perch, and pan fish. Picnic on the lawn after you’ve played a rousing game of badminton and the kids have tired themselves out on the trampoline. In the evening, sip some wine and take time to appreciate the gorgeous sunset, with its colors reflected in the serene waters. SUMMER: The long, lazy days just beg you to enjoy a swim in the warm water, or bask in the sun as you lounge on the groomed, sandy beach. Looking for something more adventurous? Head out to explore the lake on one of the kayaks or canoes provided. See how close you can get to one of the resident turtles before it disappears, like a flash, back under water. Want some old-fashioned, family fun? The game room above the barn is a great place for friendly rivalries to develop as you play pool, ping pong, or foosball. For outside fun, try your hand at horseshoes, make up a Frisbee golf course, or see who can catch the biggest fish. Then sit around a fire on the beach, make s’mores, and tell ghost stories until it’s time for bed. FALL: The change of season paints the surrounding hills a stunning blend of vibrant gold, orange, and red. The lake water is still warm from the summer sun, so be sure to bring your swimsuit. Take a hike along part of the Appalachian Trail, which runs along the ridge of Schaghticoke Mountain seen across the lake. Head across Bulls Bridge, an authentic covered bridge, into nearby Kent, CT to browse the shops and treat yourself to some hot chocolate or cappuccino. Indulge yourself by sampling wines at one of the region's award-winning wineries. Watch for migrating ducks splashing around, eagles and osprey seeking their next meal, and graceful swans gliding regally along the tranquil water. Relaxation comes easily at The Lake House. After all, you’re home. NOTE: Peak season reservations run Saturday to Saturday with a 7-day minimum stay. Peak season runs from Memorial Day week through Labor Day week. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 3 accessible parking spaces - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking ok OUTSIDE.

There was so much to do! We swam across the lake, played volleyball, beam bag toss and the boys even found the trampoline a blast. When it cloudy we walked to the house across the driveway for some pool and ping pong and other games. We even find a minatirr golf course and ice cream parlor nearby as well as a wonderful hike. In retrospect, staying at the house was more Fun than venturing out. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and even emailed me about items that were left there. You can’t go wrong! ##### lesley g. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol C. Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Country Christmas Our family of 7 had the best time celebrating Christmas together at The Lake House!!! Upon arrival, we were greeted with twinkling lights (outside as well as on a large evergreen plant inside which became our makeshift Christmas tree!!), a fruit basket, and a bottle of wine… The house had everything we needed (and more) for an amazing couple of days spent playing games, reading by the fire, enjoying the lakeside firepit, bird and nature watching (notably eagles, swans, nature walks/runs, and even a heron or two), and preparing wonderful meals as a group. And while we were definitely ‘in the country’, it was just a short hop to nearby grocery stores and bakeries (Cousins is a bakery and pizzeria that we visited twice…solid pizza and an amazing creation that was part soft chocolate chip cookie, part cannoli). My review would not be complete without an enthusiastic THANK YOU to property manager Laurie and owner John who responded at lightning speed to the few questions we had and provided updates and helpful info throughout our booking process and stay. Truly, they are exceptionally gracious and thoughtful hosts. We are already discussing when we’ll return!!!! ##### Carol C. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel L. Sep 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful Wedding Venue We rented this property as a wedding venue. Communication was very pleasant and transparent until a couple of weeks before the wedding. The event contract was presented a few weeks prior to check-in and contained information that had not been previously disclosed. In order to meet the terms of the contract, we had to make very last minute adjustments and the property manager came to the house on our wedding day to take photos of our setup. The game room had rules that we were not aware of (kids cannot use pool table). With 5 kids in our party, that essentially made it unavailable for use. The damage deposit is contingent upon sharing event setup photos for future marketing. It would be helpful to make the contract available upon initial discussions of hosting an event on the property to aid in planning and transparency. Had I known all of the terms and expectations at the onset, I’m not sure that I would have chosen this property. Having said that, the property is beautiful and well maintained. The homeowners and their family are lovely to work with and obviously take great pride and care into sharing their home. It made for a beautiful and peaceful wedding venue. ##### Rachel L.

Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful time during our week-long stay! The house and property were fantastic. There was so much to that we didn't really even leave: pool, air hockey, badminton, cornhole, not to mention canoeing and kayaking on the lake. We did visit nearby Kent, which is a lovely town, and there are so many walking/hiking/running trails nearby (my son is a distance runner).Check-in was seamless. The kitchen was very well stocked, and many of the rooms had beautiful water views. It was so private and peaceful. We have stayed at many lake houses over the years and this was definitely a favorite! ##### Catherine M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Callan D.

This is an excellent place to relax and do absolutely nothing except eat, sleep, take walks and watch the waves on the water. Paradise. ##### Nonna R.

This home is situated on a beautiful lake and could not be any more peaceful and beautiful. John was amazingly attentive. The game room above the detached garage was unheated but was a huge hit with my kids!! Thanks for the hospitality. Will come back in the summer next!!! ##### Richard A.

Another magical two weeks at the lake house, thank you to the Fila family! Your home is beautiful, comfortable, and a perfect family getaway. We bring grandparents, adults, and kids, and every one of us love this special time on your beautiful lake. In no particular order, we: kayak, swim, play pingpong, barbecue, jump on the trampoline, read books in shady comfy chairs, fish, canoe, and build epic nightly fires on the lake's shore. We hope to see you again next summer, thank you again! ##### Eleonora W. Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim R.

Anything you might need, both inside and out, can be easily found here. We barely left the house and simply relaxed playing games and watching movies during the rain. We ranged in age from 29-85 and all enjoyed it so much. The game room in the detached garage was an added bonus which we used a lot! Small towns are close by but the house is very secluded. We highly recommend renting this property. ##### Kim R.

Everything was so comfortable and beautiful. We had three generations, ten people total, and we had plenty of room. The toddlers loved wading in the lake, and we used the kayaks, the rowboat, the canoe, inner tubes, and the sailboat on the lake. We enjoyed the ping pong, pool table, horse shoes, and slide, too. The welcome basket of fruit, a bottle of wine, and the fresh flowers were much appreciated. Spending a few days surrounded by nature feels so wholesome and inspiring. The privacy here is unsurpassed, and my family enjoyed every minute. ##### Caragh O.

This stunning house, set above a private lake, feels like home from the moment that you walk inside. Every detail is taken care of, from a fully stocked kitchen, to cozy throws on the couches, to an amazing selection of music on the old school stereo. We love spending our days on the lake in kayaks, and jumping in for a swim after our adventures are done. Evenings are for barbecues, pingpong and pool in the barn gameroom, and campfires by the lakeshore. Thank you to John for being an amazing host-- we hope to visit every summer for years to come. ##### Eleonora W.
