About this house rental
Lovely 4 bedroom, sleeps 10. 3-story classic Victorian home in family-friendly neighborhood. Clean modern interiors and nature-enjoying exteriors including gardens, covered porch, screened deck and fenced yard. Easy walk to Main Street and Lake Mansfield.
Like winter sports? This home is a great ski season rental as it's a quick 9 minute drive to Butternut Ski Area and Tubing Center and only 14 minutes to Catamount Mountain Resort.
Built in 1903, this updated and yet stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship is a perfect place for family and friends looking to find an easy getaway in the Berkshires. The interior is sunny, bright and modern with charming Victorian details throughout.
The house is well appointed on the ground floor level with a large living room, music parlor including a grand piano and large assortment of art and design books, large eat-in kitchen, separate dining room area with large farm table and French café chairs with seating for 8, ½ bath, and large pantry/laundry room with side by side front loading washer and dryer. The living room and parlor comfortably seats 10 guests.
There are inviting touches throughout the house such as: lovely artwork, books, games, puzzles and toys to entertain both children and adults! The kitchen is well equipped with high-end stainless appliances and All-Clad and Le Creuset cookware. All tools needed for baking are available including a Kitchen-aid stand mixer. Kitchen includes a large assortment of high-end small appliances including microwave, food processor, blender, coffee maker and 4-slot toaster. At the kitchen sink, a Multi-Pure water filter system is built-in. The deck and screened porch are accessed from both the kitchen and the living room.
The second floor has 2 bedrooms: the primary suite with a king bed and full bathroom with tub/shower combination, en suite. The second large bedroom has a queen bed and access to the 2nd floor porch. There is a second full bathroom on this floor with a walk-in shower.
The third floor is a delightful converted loft-like attic space with two rooms. One bedroom has 4 twin beds: 2 extra long singles and the third is a twin trundle, which can be made up as a twin, two twins or a king - perfect for a group sleepover or family! The other room, best for children, has one extra-long twin and small trundle bed. All three floors have central air-conditioning and heating. The extra-long twins have organic rubber mattresses. Due to their generous length and quality, these mattresses are very comfortable for adults as well as children.
Outside you have a delightful front sitting porch and lovely cottage gardens with pathways leading to the front walk and side parking area. The back sun deck is private, with outdoor seating and a grill for dining al fresco. There is also a cozy screen tea porch on the side of the house, accessed through the family room. The yard is fenced with a delightful playhouse!
Located in the sought after neighborhood called “The Hill”, this home is an easy 5-minute walk to the center of downtown Great Barrington for a meal, shopping, shows, cinema, galleries and much more. This home is also an easy walk (or 3 minute drive) to Lake Mansfield Park for swimming. (There is a sandy beach, children's playground equipment and a lifeguard on duty!) You can enjoy picnicking and having fun on the climber & swing sets. No motorboats allowed but canoes/kayaks are available for rent in town or bring your own!
For music lovers, it's a 25 minute drive to Tanglewood, and for dance enthusiasts it's a 25 minute drive to Jacob’s Pillow.

We enjoyed a terrific week in Great Barrington. This house is beautiful, well-appointed, and very clean. Our family loved making and enjoying meals in the spacious kitchen, watching movies in the family room, playing the piano in the sitting room, and the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable. So close to Butternut and all the great shops downtown. Great hosts who went above and beyond to take care of anything we asked. 5 stars!

Three sisters and two sisters in law spent a lovely weekend together in this beautiful home. We relaxed on the porch, lounged in the living room, and spent hours laughing and catching up. The quick walk to town made coffee runs easy and the shops and restaurants were define. Thank you thank you thank you < 3

Wonderful location! The house has everything you could need and is very nice. Third floor accommodations are a little tricky for older guests -- no bathroom and sloping ceilings.

The house was the perfect fit for our objectives, it was large enough for our family and friends and close to downtown and the slopes. The hosts were accommodating and easy to work with.

great location, great house
We loved spending a week in the house. It is walking distance from main street, on a sweet little street. It was the first trip with our 5 month old and we found the house to be very clean and safe for our baby. The kitchen is gorgeous and we appreciated the grill, back deck, front porch and screened in breakfast nook. The piano was a highlight as well. Tracy was very helpful and kind and we hope to return next year!

Very nice place. Be careful not to pull too far forward in the driveway -- we got a message shaming us about this (we didn't even realized we'd pulled beyond the gravel into the grass the dark). Made us wonder who was watching us. Uppermost bedroom was tiny and challenging for an adult because you can't stand upright entering the room. At least a couple of the beds were not terribly comfortable for adults. The decor is lovely, and the location is outstanding. Overall very good experience.

We had such a wonderful stay in this beautiful house! It was beautifully restored and decorated inside and out. Well stocked kitchen, comfy furniture and lovely decks both front and back to enjoy the beautiful, leafy neighborhood. The location could not have been better. It’s a short walk into town but still feels quiet and peaceful. We will be back!

This house is beautiful, clean, spacious, and perfectly located near downtown Great Barrington and Ski Butternut. It has a wonderful kitchen to cook in, a beautiful music room with an excellent piano, and we couldn't have asked for a better rental property. Tracy is a wonderful and caring host who is extremely responsive and responsible.

This is a wonderful, completely equipped house, well located to the Main Street but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful (great front porch). Owner is super responsive and accommodating. Property is near many conservation areas as well as cultural sights.

The month we spent at this property was one of the best vacations we have had. Everything was provided. The property managers (and owners) were exceptionally gracious and always available. The design and decor of the house was welcoming with style and comfort.

We went to the Great Barrington area for a family ski weekend in February and had a terrific stay at this Victorian home. The host, Tracy was very easy to work with and responsive via text. We loved the house because it has so much character - the kids loved the fun bedrooms on the 3rd floor - and it is very close to the town of Great Barrington. We would definitely recommend staying here!
