About this house rental
Located in the beautiful Berkshires, MA, the 5000 sqf home is located in a desired neighborhood known as "the Hill.” The sun filled house is on a quiet no outlet road and sits on 2.5 acres of landscaping including blueberry bushes, maple tree, lawns, mature flowers, and custom cobblestone. In spite of being only a 15 min walk from downtown, it feels very away from it all with trees in every window and privacy.
Connections to the Appalachian trail within 10 minutes. Lake Mansfield is a 15 min walk. The Green River, with a swimming hole, is a 15 min hike through the woods. The Mahaiwe, a movie theater and the great thriving restaurants, boutiques, toy stores and coffee shops of downtown are a 15 minute walk. Tanglewood is a 20 minute drive. Butternut is a 10 minute drive.
The historic home was built in 1908 and was one of the first in Great Barrington to receive electricity. It has been lovingly renovated and restored from the ground up. Many original details were restored to new condition (windows, radiators and the like) and modern conveniences added. There is central air conditioning, whole home audio system, movie room w/ mounted 65 inch 4k television, surround sound, double pane windows, heated floors in the bathrooms and kitchen. There is a second 4k television in the den for when the kids don't want to watch the same movie as the adults - also with high end surround sound. Sony Playstation and multiple streaming devices all updated to 4K technology. The gourmet cook's kitchen includes a large granite prep area, 2 deep sinks, Wolf Stove, large SubZero, and 2 Bosch dishwashers for easy clean up.
The house is oversized but still cozy with brand new sheets from Brooklinen, new towels, lots of blankets, and well designed locally bought furniture and rugs. There are games and a library of classics and NYTimes bestsellers for ages 2 - adult. In keeping with the classic feel, there is a high end record player in the library for afternoons playing chess and cards. Two large wood burning fireplaces make it homey during the winter.
Enjoy the fresh summer air on the large screened in porch, play ping pong, or enjoy a meal in the fresh air on the screened porch dining table. Ample lawns and private outdoor space, especially for an in town property. Weber Grill on large stone patio for for preparing summer meals, nine person sunken hot tub on mahogany deck and a wood swing set and slide set up for the kids.
Nursery was painted and set-up in 2022 and has toddler toys available for use. Farrow and Ball paint and natural fiber rugs used throughout most of the house. Fragrant free and organic or non-toxic cleaners used. Plates and serving ware for 12 from Crate and Barrel, new in Fall 2024

Nice large house. Comfortable furniture. Good location - a short walk into town or to McAllister Nature Preserve. House could have been better prepared - when we arrived there were dishes in the dishwasher, towels in the dryer, and the garbage can and recycling can were full. Most of the bedrooms have no closets or drawers available to unpack clothes- the dressers that were there were mostly full. Could also use an investment in new pots and pans and more bowls.

We recently enjoyed a delightful stay in Great Barrington, MA, that exceeded all expectations. We arrived to a beautiful home that was exactly as pictured — charming, well appointed, full of books, games, movies, and records, and both spacious and comfortable.
The kitchen was nicely organized and had everything we needed to cook and eat in when we wanted to, and Great Barrington has wonderful restaurants to try.
The bedrooms allowed us to spread out, with comfortable large beds and tastefully decorated rooms. Bathrooms gave us privacy, and the bonus space on the third floor became a hideout for the kids. The house had two desk areas, allowing us both to “work-from-home” on the days we did need to connect with the office.
Our stay was further enhanced by the variety of entertainment options available. From the PlayStation to the streaming on their SmartTVs, to the hot tub and ping pong table, there was never a shortage of activities.
Strongly recommended - thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful house with plenty of privacy while still being a short walk into the town of Great Barrington. Great for families or groups of friends, with plenty of clean, well-equipped bedrooms and living spaces. Didier was an excellent host, super communicative throughout and helpful.

My family and I found this house to be a pleasure. It was extremely well-appointed with amazing attention to detail from tea bags to extra blankets and beyond. The living areas were super cozy and spacious and the porch is perfect for mucky ski boots. The home has lovely finishes and I highly recommend.

On a quiet street and walking distance to town, this renovated Victorian was a great place for the family to relax. Many alcoves for privacy or work were a real plus. Only issue is slow Wi-Fi, but a great overall stay.

We loved the home. It was very conducive to relaxing and spending time with family. There are many spots to hang out in, nap, or read. We enjoyed walking to town for coffee at Fuel each morning. We also did some fantastic hikes. We also loved the fancy appliances and gadgets in the kitchen. And the ping pong table was a nice distraction during the warmest part of the day. The host was very responsive and we will definitely return.

Two families rented this lovely home with our children ages 6 and 8. It was well appointed and cozy even though it is a rather large size home. Easy access to town and groceries as well as to butternut skiing. Very responsive host.

Didier was extremely responsive, and the house was all we had hoped it would be for our family gathering. Everyone was grateful to spend time playing chess, eating together, walking to town, listening to music, and playing games. Linens, pillows and mattresses were top quality, crisp and clean! We loved our stay!! Thank you!!

This was a fantastic house for adults and children. Everything was so clean, lots of supplies, well-stocked kitchen (now that I left a garlic press), and lots of space everywhere. We spent a great deal of time on the lovely screened-in porch and outside. Loved the laundry room and huge 3rd floor especially. The owners could not have been more helpful and responded quickly to any of our questions. The area is great--close to town. Lake is a good 20 minute walk (at least with kids).

Stay in Great Barrington
The home is in a lovely and somewhat private location, and it is only 1.0 miles into the center of Great Barrington, which is a wonderful town with everything that one would need. We took walks every day, and we even discovered a nature preserve only a half a mile away, where we walked quite often. The home not only had plenty of bedrooms, but its common rooms were numerous and quite spacious. Also, our 3 year old grandson loved the very expansive swing/slide/climbing set. There were a couple of issues with the fridge and the air conditioner on the third floor (which we ended up not using), but the owner immediately took care of those issues and was 100% responsive. In fact, he kept reaching out to us to make sure we were OK and satisfied, and he even gave us a partial refund as an accommodation, which he did not have to do but which very much was appreciated by us. Overall, it was a great home to stay at, and the owner could not have been more helpful and gracious.

Beautiful Property
We had a great time and were very pleased with the location. My family had never been to the Berkshires so they were delighted.
Our hosts were extremely responsive as some things weren't ready like the air conditioning system and the grill didn't have gas in it. Who'd have thought we'd have July weather in May? Once the aircon got repaired we were very comfortable. My sister and her husband decided they want to move to the Berkshires from Texas!

Amazing!
We had a great time staying at this property. Unexpectedly, we spent at least 75% of our time in the screened in porch. It was the perfect gathering place in warm weather. There was plenty of room for our large group, and the hosts were very easy to work with. The only thing I’d add is that most of the yard is quite sloped. If you have young toddlers/new walkers in your group, you’ll need to be careful/attentive about letting them play outside.

Wonderful stay at a gorgeous home
We came to ski for a long weekend and had a lovely stay at this well appointed home. Everything we needed was there and the hosts were easy to reach for any questions we had. Thank you for an amazing stay, we’d love to stay again!

Perfect ski weekend rental
We had a fantastic ski vacation at this beautifully appointed and conveniently located restored home. The pictures and description do not do this house justice. It was super cozy and comfortable, with tons of room to spread out, and every kind of book/entertainment you would want after a day of skiing. The hot tub was an amazing addition, especially when used after the giant snow storm during our stay. My boys loved the video game system, the dog loved the yard, and we loved looking through the house at all the old-house restored details. The kitchen is well appointed, and with easy access to supermarkets just a few minutes away, it's a pleasure to cook in. We were only 6, but the house comfortably fits 10. Great for families, couples, multigenerational groups.

Wonderful home
Our family had a great time staying at this house- it's a beautiful spacious home that is well-appointed. The hosts provided lots of helpful information and were very easy to communicate with. We loved the big yard and fun perks at the house (hot tub, ping pong table). It was a perfect location from which to explore the Berkshires and enjoy the beautiful autumn!

Perfect place in Great Barrington
My family of five and I spent over 6 weeks at Didier's home and loved the experience. The home is beautiful, charming and old while still being modern and renovated. Great kitchen, beautiful living and reading rooms, all with great views. I used the home office to work remotely. Special touches like amazing sound systems and televisions, huge laundry room, hot tub and bbq grill. We were a 2min drive to downtown Great Barrington or a 10-15min walk, so a perfect location. Near some gorgeous hikes too. Didier was available all the time for questions. Look forward to our return!

Relaxing getaway
The house is beautiful, spacious, and gracious. It felt luxurious, with tasteful and comfortably appointed bedrooms and common spaces. Kitchen is well equipped with great stove, dishwasher, fridge, and two sinks/dishwashers.
Grateful hosts allowed dogs. Rare to find such a nice home open to pets. But we are very responsible pet owners who respect gracious hosts. So thank you.
Early in season, so not that much to do, but we did not have an aggressive activity agenda, so the relaxing setting and nearby hiking/water attractions were perfect for us. Walk to town was convenient. Big Y and Guido's were convenient for all we needed.

February ski house
We had a great time in this house. As 2 families with a total of 4 adults and 5 kids 9 and under, our big crew had plenty of room and found plenty of separate spaces to spread out along with spaces where we could all be together. The house is very conveniently located to Butternut, where we spent multiple weekends skiing. The house is very close to Great Barrington, and is also close to Catamount. Lauren and Didier were great hosts and consistently available if/when we had questions (which wasn't too often). We look forward to going back next year.
