Beautiful Vistas

Ilene and Mark are lovely and were very welcoming and touched based throughout our visit and genuinely cared about our experience. The house and location are wonderful - the sunsets and views were unparalleled. Plenty of space for our family to relax. The only possible suggestions would be the kitchen range was outdated and the sauna and jacuzzi both did not work (which Ilene noted to us before we booked). Neither of those issues changed our impression of a beautiful house . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely mountain home

The house is a cozy mountain retreat. There are many rooms for many bodies to sleep in, lots of nooks and crannies, views for days and the most fabulous sunsets you'll ever see. Ilene is incredibly attentive and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. If you are looking for a quiet retreat with beautiful views, hikes and mountain activities, this is a really lovely choice.

A wonderful holiday getaway

This home was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our large group. The setting is wonderfully private and beautiful. We watched a family of deer in the back yard enjoying the surroundings as well. Eileen was very communicative and was available to answer any and all questions. Should we ever want to get away in the Berkshires again we would definitely come back to this beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Ilene and Mark Taylor

We bought this home in the fall of 2016 to have a place where our family of 4 (now 6) could meet up and expand together. Since our purchase we have added a new 2-story wrap around deck, renovated 3 bathrooms and the lower floor. We also added walking paths and wild flower gardens. We are now ready to share our home with others who are looking for a retreat in the Berkshires. We have enjoyed the local lakes and local culture and farmers markets. Most of all, we have enjoyed hosting our friends and family. We are happy to host you and help make a wonderful vacation!

Why they chose this property

This property is well located off the Mass Pike (I-90) the Taconic Parkway, NY Rt. 22 and Rt. 295 - on the NY Mass border. Just minutes from the core Berkshire towns of Lenox, Stockbridge, Lee and Great Barrington. It is also on the edge of the Hudson Valley with access to Chatham, Hudson, Ghent and more. It is both secluded and in close proximity to outdoor adventures, music, theater, museums and shopping. The views are breathtaking - summer, fall (foliage!) winter and spring.

The house itself lends itself to quiet retreat as well as hosting family and friends in comfort. The deck expands the footprint of the house and adjoins the endless pool which also serves as a hot tub.

The sunsets continue to take our breath away!!!

The street forms a loop that is a wonderful daily warm up of 1.7 miles - a great way to start and end the day!

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits are that the house is quiet, peaceful AND accessible to Lenox, Great Barrington, Lee, Chatham, Hudson, North Adams, Williamstown, Stockbridge, West Stockbridge and other great Berkshires and Hudson-Catskills towns.
