About this property

Private Cottage Close to Shopping, Skiing, Swimming, Hiking, Biking and Dining.

A gem in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. Swimming and boating in the summer, leaves changing in the fall and skiing in the winter into spring. Austerlitz offers all this and more. We are 15-25 minutes from shopping and dining in the quaint neighboring towns of Great Barrington and Stockbridge as well as local faves Chatham, Old Chatham and Hudson. We are also convenient to musical and theatrical performances at the MacHayden, SPAC, Tanglewood and "The Egg" in Albany. The house is private and on a quiet wooded lot. It convenient to lots of local activities but perfect if you want to sit on the porch and do nothing but relax. All ages game room features an original arcade PacMan that also has Galaga, Frogger, Space Invaders and many more. We've also got Foosball and darts to keep you active and entertained.
We Love NY!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great home base for being in the Berkshires. Host has excellent communication, which extends to the signage in the house and nice touches throughout. Wonderful bedding and linens, comfortable beds, and well appointed kitchen. Large pleasant porch to sit on and eat out on. The house was spotless. The bathrooms were clean and the w/d made things convenient. The downstairs living room looks comfortable but we didn’t use it as it was a bit musty (it was rainy during our stay). As a couple with 2 dogs, we were fine with the loveseat area upstairs. The setting is green and quiet, especially at night, but the main road where vehicles go 55 mph is not far and you can hear trucks during the day. We hope stay again.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2026
