Property Map

Lakeside's 135-acre campus in central Berkshire County, of western Massachusetts, is home to open meadows, forest, and one-half mile of shoreline on Richmond Pond. Near our chapel the lake spills over boulders to form the beginning of the Southwest Branch of the Housatonic River The stream is joined by Shaker Brook as it winds through the property. Lakeside's facilities include about 25 buildings, may of which are clustered around a central green space overlooking the lake. Our guests often tell us they find our setting beautiful and relaxing. So take a break, pull up a chair and enjoy the gentle breeze off the lake, or take a stroll through the woods and meadows. When it's time to move indoors, you'll also be pleased.
