Location: Becket, Berkshires, Massachusetts, USA (30 minutes to all Berkshires attractions)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)
You can "have it all" in the Berkshires! Our cozy contemporary home is less than 30 minutes from all Berkshire cultural and historical attractions, but tucked away in woodsy peace and privacy. Our four acres look out over a large lawn, lovely flower and herb garden, old apple orchard, and trout stream to a facing wooded ridge. Large windows and doors and a wraparound deck bring the beautiful views of trees and sky into the house. Our hillside location at 2000 feet elevation ensures cool breezes all summer and lots of snow in the winter.
The house provides everything you need for a comfortable and convenient vacation (or honeymoon!) All linens and towels, a wood-burning fireplace, completely equipped kitchen stocked with food staples, a Dux bed, sound system, and lots of activities for kids, including a tall swing, raspberries and blueberries to pick, and toys and games.
Within four miles from the house you will discover a sandy beach and boat launch on a large lake, horseback and trail riding, two cross-country ski areas, hiking on the Appalachian trail, blueberry picking, and access to October Mountain, the largest state forest in Massachusetts.

This house provided a much needed break from the bustling streets of San Francisco. The four of us had a great time, and all agree that it was a much better alternative to staying at a motel 6 or some other motel here in the Berkshires....We are all native New Englanders and after staying in this house, there is a bit of sadness having to go back to the West coast.

Your cozy house will do nicely for 5 of us this weekend! I'll always think of sitting on this deck, looking at the sun on the rust and golden trees......I will recall how lucky the occasion of this wedding brought us to you. Many thanks!
