Amazing Family Vacation Home

Our family had the best time. The game room kept the kids entertained, the kitchen was perfect for cooking big meals and the big yard made it feel like we were in a tranquil retreat. Joe was a gracious, responsive host. We all loved our stay there.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Tugaw

Joe and Kristin Tugaw were raised in the Rocky Mountains of the western US but reside full time in Pittsfield, MA. They love the change of seasons and culture that the Berkshires area has to offer; in particular, Tanglewood, the summer home to the Boston Symphony. Joe and Kristin love to travel, with Ireland ranking among their favorite destinations, so their immediate attraction to live at Fox Hollow in the Berkshires was an easy decision.

Why they chose this property

The Fox Hollow Estate was built in the 1940's as an elegant home by Samual Colt and his family. It's "Irish County Estate" appearance along with the 21 sprawling acres provides peace, tranquility and a place to clear your mind and soul. The Tugaw's remodeling work has been intentional and well thought out, ensuring the inviting 'heart' of the home was kept in-tact. Keeping the highest level of comfort and elegance in mind, the home is completely air-conditioned, humidity controlled and has state-of-the-art furnace and boiler systems to ensure the comfort of the guests. All thermostats are wi-fi enabled as well the main entry door locks, alarm system, and garage doors.

This property is centrally located in the Berkshires with easy access to the cultural offerings of the area such as Tanglewood and Jacob's Pillow. There are also several ski resorts nearby such as Jiminy Peak. Onota Lake is across the street from the house (public access is about 1 mile away). The lake offers boat rental, fishing, and other water sports activities.
