On the second floor we have Blue Benn, Pine Cobble and Stone Hill (master bedroom w/king bed and a claw-footed tub with separate shower).

Gourmet kitchen, large dining table for 10+, spacious living room, purple felted pool table, den with TV & wood fireplace, wifi, large front porch with swing, back deck, fully-fenced in back yard, driveway parking for up to 5 cars.

Easy check in and out. Lovely well equipped home walking distance to Main Street shops. Our third family Christmas and its always a wonderful stay. Thanks!
Wow, what an amazing home! So cozy with lots of room to spread out. We spent two lovely days reading, playing pool and enjoying one another’s company. We were very sad to leave such a lovely place.The host was very responsive and helpful! We’d go back tomorrow if we could!

Sounds like the perfect way to spend New Year’s. We look forward to having you back!
This house was perfect for our large alumni group coming back to campus. Super walkable to everything on campus and Williams Inn (where a bunch of our group was staying). We gathered at the house both weekend mornings for big (20 people) family-style breakfasts and enjoyed special time sitting on the sunny front porch drinking coffee and catching up.If you're visiting on the weekend during the school year, it's worth noting that the proximity to some of the other student houses on Hoxsey Street means the potential for party noises late into the night. It didn't really bother any of us because (a) we all remember those days and it's hard to begrudge the Williams kids their own late night parties and (b) we were out at The Log and other events until 12 - 1 am ourselves!We'd definitely rent this house again for a future reunion weekend!
We stayed here for a wedding at the Williams Inn. Great location, easy walk to the inn and to the shops and restaurants. Property was so easy to work with.
Super location in walking distance of Spring Street and for all college related activites. The house is charming with a fully renovated kitchen, pool table, big screen tv. Well appointed bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Easy access
The property was great for our brief winter vacation. Lots of room and very comfortable and attractive. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and the Clark. We would happily stay here again.
Excellent location, wonderful house, best property manager (Venetia), terrific homeowners -- always a fabulous and memorable stay! Can't wait to come back!
The home was exactly as reflected in the listing. It's very large and located right by the Williams campus and Spring Street. Location was perfect for walking into town and to Taconic. The house manager was easily accessible and checking in and out was flawless. The yard and deck were perfect for entertaining both the adults and the one toddler in our group. Would absolutely stay here again.
We hosted our daughter’s wedding in Williamstown and this was the perfect house to stay in. The location was ideal, the house comfortable and the hosts were excellent.
Loved the house and the privacy the individual suites gave all of us. So great to have private baths with each bedroom. Lots of living space and the kitchen was incredibly well-appointed. Everything we needed for a great summer reunion.
Wonderful stay with my family for our daughters wedding in the Berkshires. Comfortable beds, plenty of gathering spaces and a well equipped, usable kitchen.
Management was wonderful to deal with, seamless in and out.

About the host
Hosted by Venetia Greenhalgh
We are a Williams alumni couple with two young daughters. Jake House (& Williamstown) is our favorite place to escape to when we have the chance, but having moved down to DC two years after buying the house, and contending with the academic calendar, those chances have become fewer and farther between. It seemed to be such a shame to leave Jake vacant while we were away that we decided to open up our home and share it with other families and travelers to Williamstown.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Jake House when we first saw it in its renovated glory. Williams alums of a certain era through the mid-90s will know that Jake has a rollicking past and it always comes alive when it is occupied. It is our much beloved home away from home.
What makes this property unique
Jake House's location, size and amenities are unbeatable for visitors to Williamstown, and is an especially welcoming house for a group of friends or a family gathering.
