About the property

Escape to the peaceful shores of Long Bow Lake in the Berkshires. This waterfront retreat features private lake access, kayaks, a hot tub, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces designed for every season. Spend your days paddling, swimming, hiking, or exploring nearby towns before returning to unwind by the water in one of the Berkshires' most serene settings.

Wake up to peaceful lake views and enjoy a slower pace at this inviting waterfront retreat in the Berkshires.

Bright, open living spaces create an easy flow between the kitchen, dining area, and comfortable living room, making the home ideal for spending quality time together. A dedicated workspace and sunroom provide quiet corners to read, work remotely, or simply enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Outside, the experience revolves around the lake. Launch a kayak from the private dock, spend warm afternoons by the water, gather around the fire pit, or soak in the hot tub after a day exploring the Berkshires. Every space has been designed to help you relax and reconnect with nature.

Thoughtfully designed for gathering, unwinding, and discovering the best of the Northeast.

I just finished a week at Meadow Homes on Long Bow Lake in Becket, MA. It was wonderful! I was there with a rotating group of friends, and the house was great for sharing. Lots of public and private spaces, almost all with a view of the lake. Lots of places to sit and talk and watch each other play in the lake! Lovely Kayaks. Easy flat roads for walking. And the hosts are so responsive--they sent their person in the Berkshires immediately when we needed a few things and even proactively replaced the coffee maker because they had heard it was the wrong size. We loved it!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would happily return. The house itself is beautiful, spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped. The soaring windows overlooking the lake make the entire living space feel connected to nature, and we found ourselves constantly drawn to the view throughout the day. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved the hot tub, the kayaks, and the firepit. There were plenty of places to relax, whether it was enjoying coffee on the dock in the morning, playing games, or gathering around the fireplace in the evening. What truly makes this property special, though, is the lake itself. The ecosystem is incredibly peaceful and full of life. The shoreline is lined with beautiful reeds, wildflowers bloom throughout the property and surrounding woods, and we enjoyed watching birds, dragonflies, frogs, and other wildlife throughout our stay. It was the perfect place for our family to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy time together without feeling rushed.

I booked this home for a corporate photoshoot (cozy textiles) and can’t wait to come back! The location, natural surroundings, cozy fireplace, spacious and comfortable accommodations, and hot tub had my entire group absolutely raving. The neighborhood is so quiet, an absolute treat for my crew that had never had a true ‘new England’ campfire on the lake experience. The host was always responsive and helpful. Such a perfect stay! Thanks!
