What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
This is a place shaped by intention, from the hand-built Scandinavian-style cabins and restored wetlands to the Cliff House’s suspended porch…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in rural Egremont, the property sits ten minutes from Great Barrington's independent shops, vintage boutiques, and local bistros.
The rooms
Cedar-clad cabins feature pine paneling, underlit platform beds, and expansive windows framing serene views of the surrounding woods or water.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
White loungers and scalloped coral umbrellas line the outdoor pool deck against a backdrop of dense woods.
The saunas
Waterfront cedar barrel saunas sit along the lake shore, just steps from the docks for cold plunging.
Restaurant
The Cliff House
The dining room and suspended screened porch serve countrified seasonal bistro dishes with views across Prospect Lake.
Stepping into nearly every space at Prospect... is like entering a freshly built sauna, thanks to the refreshing scent of blond cedar and the golden glow of natural wood.
How it began
Local founders transformed a neglected nineteenth-century picnic ground and rooming house into a landscape retreat dedicated to ecological restoration.
