This open-concept home has mountain views of the west with sunsets that are breathtaking year-round. The eastern views include beautiful sunrises and water views of the Tracy Brook Wildlife Sanctuary just across the street, where there is an active Heron nesting site & beaver dam. There are also ducks, geese, fish, frogs & peepers!

If you have to spend time in the kitchen on vacation, it should be a dream. The brand-new kitchen has custom cabinetry, modern appliances & is fully equipped!
You can also enjoy grilling on the deck right off the kitchen, with views the Berkshires are known for.

Great!

We stayed here between Christmas and New Years visiting family in the area, and we had a lovely time. The house was spotless and had everything we needed, from abundant towels down to a rubber band in the kitchen drawer. Beds were comfy. The owner, Julie, was a friendly and gracious host, and even left us gifts and homemade holiday sweets, making our stay feel very festive. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the Berkshires!

Perfect girls' weekend retreat

This was the perfect house for a five women getaway weekend. The house itself was meticulous and has everything and more than one could want. The kitchen is better equipped than my own at home! Beds super comfortable too.The owner Julie gave us detailed instructions on how to work everything, and we knew she was available if we had any questions. The weather was not cooperative so we spent more time in the house than we might have otherwise, and it was delightful nonetheless. The location is super convenient for outings to Stockbridge, Lenox, Pittsfield and really, anything in the area. Highly recommend & would definitely rent again.

Above and beyond

Julie was flexible and accommodating to our changing arrival time and was there to greet us and show us around. The house was incredibly clean and the property was very pretty. Julie went above and beyond to get flowers, cupcakes, and decorations for my birthday! She made checking out a breeze. We had a wonderful experience at this house and would definitely return!

Great Berkshire Getaway

Close to everything: Tanglewood, museums, Shaker Village, Lenox and Stockbridge. The house was very well appointed and the cleanest rental we’ve ever been to. The view out the back is fabulous and perfect for catching sunsets. Julie is a great host.
