About this house rental

Blue House on the Bend
Built around 1820, the Blue House on the Bend, an historic eyebrow colonial located on an idyllic bend of the Housatonic river, has been updated and outfitted for modern day convenience but retains its charm and unique appeal, Enjoy hypnotic views of the river and wildlife from the comfortable living area, breakfast area, master bedroom or outside terrace area. The open floor plan and lovely views make this historic mill worker house seem much larger than its 1100 sq. ft, and comfortably accommodates 5 people. The three season sun porch adds more room for relaxing, eating and even sleeping!

Well equipped kitchen with full size appliances will make preparing meals and entertaining easy. Many dining area options available including main room, sun porch and alfresco on the river’s edge.

Downstairs master bedroom with new king Casper bed and bay window overlooking the river makes for a great night sleep. New downstairs bathroom includes a tiled tub /shower combination. Up a short flight of stairs, two charming bedrooms await, one with a new queen Casper and one with a twin size bed. These rooms share a new full size bath with a tiled shower. During warm months the sun porch daybed is also comfortable for sleeping!

Full laundry facilities available in basement; off street parking for two cars.

House is located on a quiet , non through street with only 7 neighboring houses. Adding to the historic Berkshire charm, hopefully you will be treated to the occasional train chugging by. Be sure and wave to the engineer!

I looooved the blue house. It was so pretty and the views of the river was so relaxing. We ate outside next to the river one time. I could sit outside for hours just watching the birds and duck. The location was perfectos. Lots to do and see. I would definitely stay there again.

What a wonderful weekend we spent in western mass at the Blue House! A quiet and beautifully restored home by a bend in the river gave us just the weekend we needed to celebrate a birthday and see great music at nearby Tanglewood! The living room picture window looks directly out on the river and the outdoor seating areas made for a great place to sit, eat and reflect. The communication with the hosts was fantastic and they were quick to answer any questions we had about the house and the area. Can’t wait to come back!

Breathtaking views and perfect home
Breathtaking views and perfect home
We stayed at the Blue House during our visit to the Berkshires. The location was simply perfect. We were able to explore all the restaurants, hikes and museums within a short drive. Our favorite part was the river behind the home. While not safe to swim, it provides an amazing setting for a very relaxing vacation. We spent hours observing the ducks, beavers, storks, fireflies and birds while lounging in the background. The house was very clean and well stocked. Communication with the host was also great. We highly recommend this property!

Super cute house in Stockbridge!
Super cute house in Stockbridge!
We had a wonderful time here while visiting our son at school in Salisbury CT. The house is on a beautiful bend on the Housatonic River. It's super close to Great Barrington for shopping and restaurants. The house was perfect for a family of four, we loved sitting at the big picture window, or at the small terrace down by the river. Everything in the house worked really well we would definitely come back again! The hosts are great very responsive and gave us some great recommendations for things to do in the area.

The house photos are very accurate. We were delighted with our stay. Did most of our eating at "home" and the kitchen and dining room were well appointed. The beds were comfortable. We loved the use of color and art throughout. Life by the river is fantastic.
