About this property

A roomy remodeled retreat close to MassMoCA

Large Victorian house within walking distance to MassMOCA and downtown North Adams. Sleeps eight comfortably with two bathrooms and laundry facilities on-site. Fully stocked cooks' kitchen and large grassy yard with parking for 5-7 tandem. Several outdoor spaces for relaxing in this beautiful Berkshires setting.

The House - Decorated in an industrial Victorian style befitting the location, the Zoo features three formal bedrooms, a private sleeping library and two bathrooms. A screened three season porch and two additional outdoor porches allow for enjoyment of the yard and local creatures.

Perfect for family reunions, group getaways and smaller retreats, the house is setup for small groups with plenty of dining chairs and extra tables for holiday dinners.

The Neighborhood - The Neighborhood is a short walk to MassMoCA and downtown. Like much of North Adams, the neighborhood is mix of long-term residents, new neighbors and is characterized by varying socioeconomic classes. We consider it safe and in transition and expect guests to be quiet and respectful as well.

North Adams is close to great local ski areas and is ten minutes from both Vermont and New York state. The Appalachian Trial runs through town and the surrounding area is filled with natural beauty and sights.

Cleaning is provided; however, you are expected to follow the check-out instructions prior to your departure. Failure to comply may lead to additional cleaning charges. Because the house is so large, it may take up to four hours to clean after full occupancy. For couples, cleaning is usually more straightforward. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to scale the cleaning fee for the guest party size; for now one size fits all.

Fun spot!
Sweet house which is at spitting distance from an incredible museum. We had a great time with 4 adults and 4 kids under 10. House was very livable (though we did wish for slightly comfier furniture in the living room, the beds were lovely), cute, and fun. Would definitely book again.

Quaint house convenient location
Since all of us are over 65,we decided to use the downstairs bathroom for showers. The heating was great and the washer and dryer very handy! Lots of hot water and easy to use kitchen.

Fun and Nostalgic Home
In town with multi-generational family for college graduation and Mother’s Day. The 1st floor sitting room bedroom w/full bathroom made it easy for older generations to be comfortable and not have to use stairs, the second floor bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Both bathrooms show recent renovations and were delightful. The house’s decor a delightful and indoor /outdoor space perfect for all to play badminton and relax. Would absolutely recommend and will seek to stay here again for future adventures.

Beautiful house close to Mass MoCA
This is an immaculate property in a great location within walking distance of Mass MoCA. It was perfect for our group of 5 adults. Emily was responsive and the instructions were very clear. We loved North Adams and enjoyed the scenery and a few of the local restaurants. We hope to stay again if we’re on the area. PS: This is a great spot for coffee lovers. The house is well-stocked with coffee and multiple different kinds of coffee makers - an espresso machine, drip coffee, french press….
