Charming historic farmhouse minutes to Great Barrington

Experience the breathtaking views of Mt. Everett from one of the oldest homes in the Berkshires. Our meticulously maintained 1740s homestead maintains many of its original features and is a perfect place for those looking for a quiet and private place to relax and recharge.

Location:
Minutes to local ski areas, downtown Great Barrington, and many more attractions such as Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Shakespeare and Company, Lime Rock Park, and more.

Space:
Cozy up next to one of the many fireplaces and unwind with your favorite read. Don't worry if you forgot your book, our bookshelves are stocked with a variety of interesting reads both fact and fiction. The two large fireplaces located in the formal dining and living room are a magical feature of the home. They create the perfect atmosphere for celebrating a special occasion or holiday. An addition to the original house features a bright kitchen/family room space with modern appliances and beautiful custom cherry countertops that will keep the cook in your family happy. There is also a wood-burning stove in this space which makes it an inviting place to connect and relax during those cool fall and winter days. Our house also features a greenhouse space which is active from mid-fall through to the spring. Guests are welcome to interact with and enjoy the space.

Outdoor Space:
Our 10-acre property is surrounded by conservation land with several walking trails accessible directly from the property. Your morning coffee will feel extra satisfying while sitting on the terrace overlooking the perennial garden and backyard pond. Throughout the year a diverse population of waterfowl stop at the pond for a little rest during their own travels.

Wonderful stay in an amazing house
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.

Incredible stay in the Berkshires!!!
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!
