This spectacular home, just a quick walk to Lake Mansfield, was built by one of the Berkshires' most outstanding post and beam builders, D. Lanoue. The frame, first raised circa 1858 in Duanesburg, NY, was restored and reassembled in 1993. The 42 feet by 30 feet form is hand-hewn of mostly hemlock timber held together with wooden pegs.

In addition, the wide pine plank flooring is from the threshing room of the original barn. Deceptively simple in outward appearance, the interior is beautifully decorated with French Provincial antiques and Primitive accessories. Many modern conveniences include all new appliances, dyed plaster walls, central air conditioning and a DSL line.

    • A delightful renovated barn on a private lot ideally situated for young children. A great floorplan and modern amenities made for a stress-free vacation. The owners take care of this place and it shows.

    • We had a delightful and relaxing time in your wonderful Great Barrington home. Everything was spotlessly cleaning and functioning; my children were extremely happy about all the hundreds of channels for their viewing pleasure...it was a cozy, warm and wonderful Fall weekend...and there's so much to do and see in the surrounding area! Thank you so much!!!

    • Dear Bailin's All! I must take a few minutes right now to tell you how very much we have all enjoyed the warmth, the charm, and certainly, the comfort of your magnificent home! We have made such wonderful memories...of us all around your dining table (my sister and daughters-in-law and I all want your fabrics, your sunflower theme throughout the house, and your excellent, impressive good taste we notice everywhere!) of shopping and browsing in Stockbridge and Great Barrington, of shopping together at Guido's and just enduring the experience of watching the Red Sox get beat in the comfortable liiving/family room! Though I don't want to get too way out there on you, we can say that the closeness and good-feelings of your own family life here radiates throughout our visit. We will certainly leave with everything in good order. My sister will do a little wash to leave your dishtowels and such clean. We have Lysol Wipes and will wipe down the sinks and bathrooms, and of course, the kitchen floor. Tell Alexandra that her room is very special...I could just picture her friends up in that wonderful loft! Thank you again for making this terrific weekend possible for our family. It was especially meaningful because I have a new grandson, 8 weeks old, and we all got to go 'round the clock' with him and take turns rocking in the family room. Sincerely, JoAnn Wich

      We had a great time with you at your home in Gt. Barrington. We love the location -- we could just walk downtown to get a bite to eat. There was plenty of room for our family of four, and everyone was extremely comfortable. What a beautiful job you've done decorating the house! Can't wait to be invited back.

      This house is truly "heaven on earth" - we (and our children) loved every moment there. Perfect location, privacy, nearby activities/lake, etc. Everything is well thought out - from the new construction to the wonderfully restored, beautiful wood interior as well as the tasteful decorations. Will definitely include it on our yearly caelndar, without a doubt! We give it five stars......
