Romantic Berkshires Cottage - Stunning Views, Pool
This unique cottage--30' away from our home on a fenced, three-acre property--has its own entrance and its own parking space. The pool is shared with us, but you will have it to yourselves for most of the day--just ask for private time.
There are windows on three sides, a ceiling fan and a window fan.
The Berkshires in spring, summer and fall are alive with beauty, and we offer glorious views of the rolling hills and verdant meadows. Nature lovers, artists, writers and all who cherish tranquility will take particular delight in this unique spot.
Perfect for any couple (can accommodate a small child, too), this gem of a cottage offers a romantic break that will appeal whether you are an active hiker or biker, or just want to sit under the trees or by the pool with a good book and savor the unsurpassed scenery. You'll be on a secluded country lane, but only minutes from downtown Great Barrington with its restaurants, music, theater and shopping. It's an easy drive to all area attractions and great Appalachian Trail hikes. The area roads are also ideal for biking.

Beautiful property right outside of Great Barrington. We loved exploring the Berkshires and enjoying the summer days by the pool. Would highly recommend!
We recently stayed at this lovely Berkshires cottage on Round Hill Road. The room was warm and cozy, with a nice kitchenette and a dining table. The views from the cottage were really beautiful, and we took several pictures. Since it was winter, we could not use the pool, but I imagine it would be even more lovely in summer when the pool would be open. I would definitely stay here again.
The place was beautiful, a very nice place, cozy and quiet, ideal to rest and disconnect. Everything was very well taken care of, with details that made the stay even more pleasant. In addition, the owner is very attentive and always aware of everything, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a great stay and I definitely recommend it. I hope to come back soon!
It was an excellent stay overall. Particular highlights were the breathtaking views from the property, especially at sunrise and on clear nights, and the central location affording convenient access to all of the Berkshires.
Apartment was very quaint and peaceful. It was in great proximity to Great Barrington.

Marco and Courtney, Thanks so much. You've gotten us off to a good start! Best of luck with the renovations and if you need any further recommendations, just let us know.
We spent a pleasant three days in the area. There were many choices for hikes and restaurants, and we enjoyed good music at the Egremont Bar. The apartment was true to its pictures; the bathroom was clean and spacious, and well stocked. Many thanks to Frederica for her hospitality.Julia
The studio, set into the hillside below the garage, has an expansive view over the pool area and fields and hills beyond. Very beautiful and peaceful. Frederica is very helpful and responsive, and the studio has everything one needs. We were happy we had chosen this place, and would return.
Very relaxing, bucolic location with an amazing view.
Beautiful swimming pool and grounds. We had everything we needed in our guest house, and
Frederica was a very responsive host.
We will try to stay here again on our next trip to Great Barrington.
Beautiful views from this adorable studio apartment. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Peaceful location but conveniently located .to Great Barrington..
Beautiful, quiet country retreat an easy drive from many cultural attractions! Large and airy, with ample room for two, it's an easy place to spend a week without feeling a bit cramped, with great views and a thoughtful host who provided many extras and was always available but respectful of privacy. Hope to return next year!
Frederica was very welcoming and was very helpful in pointing out local areas of attraction. The location was very clean and the views very serene. Very peaceful getaway. I would recommend without issue.
Absolutely gorgeous property. The views cannot be beat, especially from the pool. The space is cute and cozy, totally enough space for two. If you do nothing else on your trip, swing over to the Berkshire Mountain Bakery for a pizza and some ciabatta.
A lovely, private cottage with a beautiful view of the countryside. Very comfortable and cozy. It's great having a kitchen for not needing to eat out for every meal. Great walks are waiting for you outside the door. And there's a beautiful pool as well.
The cottage is just perfect for a stay near Great Barrington. The windows have breathtaking views of farmland and Berkshires. Frederica is just a fantastic host: helpful and available, but not at all pushy. GB has some of the best food in the Northeast and hiking and walking and running--directly from the cottage and nearby--is stunning. This was my second visit and I look forward to returning!
From the bottle of wine and ginger snaps upon arrival to the use of poles and snowshoes, Frederica and Efram were the consummate hosts. Their studio was private, quiet, and well appointed with everything that we needed (including dog bowls for our four-legged friends!). We had a lovely time in the Berkshires, thanks in large part to their hospitality. You won't be disappointed.
Our hosts were wonderful and thoughtful. The cottage was a perfect summer getaway and retreat for me, my husband, and our 4 year old. The pool was a huge hit with the little one and us. We made sure we took a daily dip. My toddler was ecstatic about the Hello Kitty toy waiting for her! The stay was perfect and our hosts met all of our needs. Can’t wait to return!
Spectacular views with a solid efficiency apartment. Poolside is grand looking towards the Berkshires. No stove/oven but there’s a microwave. Great dog option with a wonderful grass field for frolicking.

It was a pleasure to watch your little dog enjoying himself in the field, and thanks for the five stars! In addition to the microwave, we offer a full-size fridge, an electric kettle, a toaster, and a large Breville toaster/oven.
The hosts live on a lovely private road with the most beautiful Berkshire Views imaginableThe Garage is constructed like a bank barn, below the main garage the efficiency apartment is entered through a generously sized living/bedroom area there is also a small, yet very well stocked kitchen and full bath. Good coffee and a pint of half and half was a great touch for morning coffee!!!!. And you will want to have that coffee in the backyard, featuring a pool as well as views of the Berkshirefor milesHighly recommended to walk the yard barefoot in season; it is manicured like a World Cup Football Pitch and luxurious to walk onGreat price, great hosts, great views and a poolHow can you go wrongHighly Recommended!
