Location: Great Barrington, Berkshires, Massachusetts, USA (2 miles from Simon's Rock College, 15 min. from Tanglewood)

Accommodations:  Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)

Enjoy the convenience and privacy of an apartment and the hospitality of a bed and breakfast. Located on the grounds of a Victorian farmhouse and surrounded by over 150 acres of pastures and woods in the heart of the Berkshires, this sunny, cheerful apartment is on the first floor of a converted 19th century post & beam barn. The newly renovated apartment features a fully equipped kitchen with new appliances, living room with sliding doors opening to private deck, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms (tub in shower).

The deck offers beautiful views and provides a place to dine outdoors in the warm weather. For the garden lover, a stroll through the perennial gardens offers an opportunity for contemplation. There are plenty of easy walking and hiking trails just outside your door and more challenging ones just a few minutes away by car.

A local swimming hole, a few yards away on the pristine Williams River, is a great place to cool off after a day of summer activities. For those interested in water sports, there are plenty of opportunities for boating and kayaking.

During the winter, the surrounding hills are blanketed with snow and beckon you to ski or snowboard; the Butternut and Catamount resorts are only minutes away, and Jiminy Peak is just a 45-minute drive north. If you prefer a more relaxed approach to winter activities, sledding down the hill behind the barn or ice skating on nearby Lake Mansfield is a great way to build up your appetite for hot chocolate or mulled cider.

Great Barrington is a thriving small town which boasts a number of fine restaurants, a movie theater and the newly restored Mahaiwe Theatre. An afternoon stroll through town will undoubtedly include browsing in the eclectic mix of shops and perhaps a stop at the local ice cream parlor. For those with an interest in pursuing cultural activities, Tanglewood, Norman Rockwell Museum, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Edith Wharton House, Shakespeare & Co., Berkshire Theatre Festival, Hancock Shaker Village, and the Clark Museum are just a sampling of offerings. Antiquing is another favorite activity for visitors to the area.

Those guests staying for three nights or more will be greeted by a basket of freshly baked goodies. Depending on the season, you may also enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables grown in our garden. We are pleased to offer advice regarding local attractions and restaurants. We assure you that you will have a memorable stay in the Berkshires!

  • We (4 adults) have stayed in the apartment twice. We have also rented other apartments while on vacation in other places and would rate this as one of the best. The location is great - both for skiing and attending concerts at Tanglewood during the summer. Both times we were greeted by a basket of fresh-baked muffins; the apartment is very clean, has nice linens and comfortable beds. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, and pots & pans; we were able to save quite a lot of money by cooking some of our own meals! The owners live in a separate house on the property and gave us some good suggestions about restaurants and activities in the area. We look forward to staying there again!

  • The apartment is perfect! We were greeted with a basket of fresh baked muffins and brownies!! YUM The apartment is much bigger than it looks in photo's, but has nooks and character to make it cozy & charming. Our young children loved staying here, there are toys, games and plenty of books! It is maybe a 7 min drive to Butternut ski mountain and just minutes to all shops and restaurants- very conviently located. We would definitely look to stay here again!
