    This was our second time back! We were absolutely blown away with their service especially considering how busy of a night it was! Our waitress Amelia was very kind and checked in on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the seafood Alfredo which was perfectly seasoned and the sauce was not too rich! My wife had a cowboy burger which she also loved! We couldn’t help but to order dessert as well. We live right around the corner and will be back. Thank you for reminding us that good restaurants still exist. Warmest regards the Martin Family.

    Stopped in for a late lunch with a friend. Gorgeous views of the frozen lake! The sweet potato fries were FABULOUS! Nice crispy exterior & creamy inside. My turkey burger was also great but I should’ve gotten a beef burger; their patties are made from local beef produced right across the river. Laid back atmosphere in the middle of a cold day; friendly service. Thanks, Jodie!

    We had the BEST dinner at The Lake House! We were in town to elope and they couldn’t have made us feel any more special. They sat us at a table overlooking the lake at sunset. Dinner was incredible. I could have drank the marinade of the artichoke hearts it was so good! The glaze on the mustard glaze chicken thighs was to die for. I’m a huge mustard fan so it was a big hit. My husband got the shrimp salad which was incredible. Dessert was strawberry rhubarb pie which was the perfect end to the meal! Cocktail are not to be skipped, I am still dreaming of that tarragon gin lemonade. If you’re in town can’t suggest this spot enough! We’re already excited to come back and visit again.

    Phenomenal food, delightful staff, owner of the restaurant also owns a bakery in Shelburne Falls. She bakes her own bread, we were told, and my burger brought me back to the burger of my youth, strictly because of the bun. Cozy and romantic for a sunset dinner.

    This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. There is plenty of places to park your car but the dedicated lot does fill up easily. The staff here were very friendly and professional. The food was very tasty and the drinks were delicious. I enjoyed the unique interior with all the different decorations. The seats here are big enough for me considering they had arms which usually limits how wide someone can be. I am looking forward to going back again soon!

    Great place! Sabrina our server was wonderful. I had the potato skins and lasagna. Both were seasoned well served hot and delicious. Salad was fresh. Drink menu was surprisingly diverse. Atmosphere was a country restaurant with a welcoming community vibe. Suitable for all ages. Let us not forget the views, even in the rain it was stunning on a country mile scale as the crow flys... 8/16/25 3pm Back again this time for a lunch date. The view was amazing from the outdoor deck. The staff was friendly and knew the menu backwards and forwards. The fish was to die for incredibly well cooked and battered to perfection. The burger yep I had a bite of my dates meal cause she said "try this it's so good" for me that says it all. When the experience of eating becomes a urge to share with the people you surround yourself with that's five star worthy. Ashfield Lake House Inc is a destination to behold and enjoy.

    We stopped here on a whim and we are so glad we did. We sat on the deck overlooking the lake. It was a beautiful summer day with a gentle breeze off the water. Perfect! The service was top-notch and the food delicious. Highly recommend.

    What a great place to eat!!! Outstanding service, excellent food and a beautiful deck to enjoy your meal. We were warmly greeted upon entering and brought out to the deck outside. It was shady and not in the direct sun I ordered the turkey club sandwich and the wife ordered the cowboy burger. The turkey club was the biggest club sandwich I have ever had, it was stuffed with turkey. The wife's Cowboy burger was cooked to perfection, all meats were locally sourced. We will going back again, a must place to go!!
