About this house rental

Escape the hustle and unwind at this unique, tranquil octagonal retreat in the Berkshires. Set on 14 acres of private woodland, the stylish main house comfortably sleeps 3-4, while the charming bunkhouse accommodates an additional 4-5 guests. Enjoy a red cedar barrel sauna, outdoor shower, and exclusive access to Center Pond Beach, offering the perfect setting to relax and unplug.

10 minutes to Jacobs Pillow Dance, 20 minutes to top-notch theaters and restaurants, 30 minutes to ski resorts.

If you have any questions please message via your booking platform. Our goal is always for our guests to enjoy a relaxing stay at a beautiful home.

Tucked away in a rural neighborhood, this home offers complete privacy with no neighbors in sight. Enjoy the serenity of nature and the peaceful surroundings, making it the perfect secluded escape.

Guests have access to entire property and grounds.

This unique retreat offers two distinct spaces: a traditional one-bedroom home with a loft and a separate, cozy bunkhouse. The bunkhouse sleeps up to five guests in a “glamping” style, featuring electricity but no running water, making it a charming, rustic escape.

The main house is centered around a bright, beautifully appointed kitchen with high-end cookware, a dishwasher, and all the essentials for preparing delicious meals. With exposed wood beams, a handcrafted butcher block island with seating for four, and a dining table that seats six, it’s perfect for gathering. On the first floor, you'll find a cozy bedroom with a double bed, attached powder room, and a desk for private workspace. Above, the loft houses a full bathroom and a twin daybed with a pull-out trundle bed.

For relaxing nights in, the lower-level family room offers a comfy electric fireplace, blankets, and entertainment options, including books and a TV. This level also provides access to the washer and dryer, as well as a home gym equipped with an assault bike, kettlebells, a battle rope, an adjustable pull-up/dip bar, and a large exercise mat.

The main house features a narrow spiral staircase connecting the loft, bathroom, and lower-level family room, which may be difficult for young children, pets, or elderly guests to navigate—especially in winter months when the outdoor shower is closed. During this time, guests will need to use the full bathroom in the loft.

The separate bunkhouse provides an unforgettable "glamping" experience, sleeping five in cozy beds with an electric fireplace, string lights, and area rugs for added comfort. While it lacks a bathroom, guests can access all amenities in the main house just steps away.

The highlight of this property is the red cedar barrel sauna, available year-round for total relaxation. From May to October, enjoy the outdoor shower surrounded by nature. Complete your stay with evenings under the stars, grilling on the BBQ, and dining on the deck, followed by lounging and stargazing.

With high-speed internet and multiple workspaces, this retreat is also ideal for remote work. Set up at the island or dining table, or retreat to the desk in the first-floor bedroom for quiet Zoom calls.

Conveniently located, this home is just 10 minutes from Jacobs Pillow Dance, 20 minutes from top theaters and restaurants, 30 minutes from Tanglewood, 4 minutes from Canterbury Farms for cross-country skiing, and within 30-40 minutes of Bousquet Ski Area, Butternut Basin, and Jiminy Peak for downhill skiing.

Having a car will greatly enhance your ability to explore the Berkshires effectively.

This octagonal house was quirky and cute with modern amenities that make a stay in the woods more luxurious than expected. The sauna and outdoor shower are awesome! The cabin is close to lots of towns, hikes, and, most importantly, Jacob’s Pillow. Heads up that there are no window coverings, but there are no nearby neighbours so the only window peepers would be the wild turkeys and other animals in the woods. There is a summer day camp down the road and you can hear the kids playing but it quickly fades into background noise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unique property for the week leading up to our son's graduation. There were three of us plus a dog for most of the week, plus an additional family member for the last two nights. We were able to fit a large dog crate next to the stairs and our dog loved the yard. Be aware that there are bears (we saw two adults a few hundred yards down the road), so keep your dog on a leash at night and don't let them out of the yard unleashed. The house is very new and in great shape. The staircase between levels is very steep and not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Since it was spring, the outdoor shower was not set up and we all used the one indoor shower, which is upstairs. My son loved the bunk house and sauna. Anyone who stays in the bunkhouse has to come inside or use a tree, which was fine, might not be for everyone. The spring flowers and bird song were gorgeous, I had a lot of fun with my Merlin app (Barred Owls, Red-eyed vireos, wood thrush, ovenbird, and more). There was some construction across the street at the YMCA Camp, but it wasn't very loud. We enjoyed hikes nearby at the quarry preserve and the state park near Chester. The drive to Amherst area wasn't bad - less than an hour, depending on traffic around Northampton and Amherst. It was much nicer to stay out in the mountains than in a busy college town. I would definitely recommend this rental, as long as the people renting can handle the stairs.
