Massachusetts may be known as “The Bay State,” which refers to Cape Cod Bay, but this state in New England is also home to over 3,000 lakes! With a plethora of spring-fed ponds, reservoirs, and freshwater lakes to choose from, you will spend your days waterside and enjoy terrific recreation options in the state. During warmer months, take a dip in a freshwater lake, explore rocky coves, or lounge about on sandy beaches. In autumn, admire New England’s famed fall foliage as you kayak, row, or paddle board across quiet lakes. A visit to Massachusetts’ lakes is perfect for family-friendly vacations, romantic getaways, and peaceful solo adventures. Check out the list below for the best lakefront Vrbo rentals in Massachusetts, USA.
