Here in Massachusetts, we’re pretty spoiled when it comes to amazing dining options. However, there’s nothing like discovering an amazing restaurant that’s surrounded by natural beauty and isn’t overrun by tourists.

The Ashfield Lakehouse calls itself a “restaurant, bar and pirate ship,” which is your first hint that this waterfront gem is all about the good times. It’s secluded, the food is awesome and the location is unbeatable. Read on to learn more.

The Ashfield Lakehouse is a beloved community gathering spot that doesn’t take itself too seriously, preferring lakeside summer cookouts and casual, tasty fare to stuffiness and high prices.

The restaurant is low-key and funky, with plenty of smiling locals and folks looking for a bite to eat before heading out on the water.
