Beautiful colonial age property nestled in the Berkshires. We wanted to chill out with the family in a lovely house with access to nature and small town fun. The house gave us that. The house has some age to it and it deserves tender care.

It was a great stay! I booked for a group of guests who were attending a wedding at the Freeman mansion down the road, and it could not have been more perfect. The feedback they gave was that the place was clean and comfortable, and had a fascinating old-timey layout (i.e. the rooms kept going and going!) Highly recommend the place.

Our family had the pleasure of staying at this home during our child’s graduation from the nearby Berkshire school. It was the perfect situation for us in an idyllic setting very close to the campus. The home is over 250 years old and has been lovingly updated. The kitchen has seemingly all new appliances and gorgeous wood plank countertops with an adjacent windowed sitting area with a large hearth. The old and new are beautifully combined. Our family members spent a lot of time looking at the old books and artifacts around the home, especially the photograph in the entryway of the family that had owned the home for over 100 years. While sitting in the kitchen, you can enjoy a view of the green pasture to the left of the home and the pond at the back. The front of the home has a gorgeous view of Everett Mountain. From the patio, you can sit in the shade of a large tree and look out onto the pond and woods beyond. We were thrilled to watch a snapping turtle come up the grass incline to find a spot to lay her eggs. We enjoyed a family meal in the wood-paneled dining room, which has been beautifully maintained and also has windows out to the pond. This spacious home has been lovingly updated and maintained and is in a tucked-away setting close to Sheffield, Egremont, and Great Barrington.

We really enjoyed our stay in this authentic vintage home. It was very roomy and clean and the host went out of his way for us. We flew out from Chicago so really enjoyed the different style of home and land than we are used to and were able to catch up with my son and his 3 friends who are walking the Appalachian trail. Great place for a family or group of friends.

I've been visiting the Berkshires for years and I can say that this stay was my absolute favorite.
This beautifully maintained home takes you back to the late 1700's early 1800's where one can visualize the way people used to live with the wide board wood floors and multiple fireplaces. Updated and spacious it is a pleasure to spend time within. The location is perfect. Enjoy morning coffee while admiring the vast and beautiful grounds. Very secluded, peaceful and private. Yet minutes away from downtown Great Barrington.
The beds were incredibly comfortable and house was very clean.
We cannot wait to return!
