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.
