The Meadows House @ Otis Ridge w/ 7-person hot tub
Relax in a beautiful mountain setting at this 4-season ski house within walking distance of the slopes at Otis Ridge Ski Area (the best ski area south of the Vermont border). In fact, the back-yard (actually a meadow full of wildlife and flowers) used to be part of the ski area and there are still remnants of the rope-tow on the edge of the property. The long-range views off the back porch are fantastic. The space This house has 3 bedrooms, , 4 beds, 2.5 baths, a pull-out couch in the living room, another pull-out couch and a pull-out ottoman in the walk-out basement, and an electric air mattress to sleep up to 8 people (no extra guest fee on the first 2 people of the group). There are large flat screen TV's in the living room, master bedroom, and the walk-out basement/game room (there's a shuffleboard table, darts, and chess/backgammon table down there). There's also a large deck with half of it covered and screened in. Enjoy a warm gas-fireplace in the living room, a real woodstove (with free wood) in the finished walk-out basement, or a soak in an outdoor 7-person Artesian Spas Grand Cayman hot tub with all the bells and whistles overlooking the meadow. If you're looking for relaxation, this place and the surrounding area can't be beat. Tons of great hiking, numerous lakes, and other attractions like the towns of Great Barrington, Lee, and Lennox (all about 20 minutes away), and popular attractions like Tanglewood, and Jacob's Pillow, just a short scenic drive away.
Guest access You will have access to all parts of the house, including a washer and dryer in the basement.
This house works best as a family retreat or a romantic getaway for couples. It does not work as a place to have large or loud parties as it is located within a quiet neighborhood and has new hard-wood floors. If you are considerate of other people's property, I would love to host your stay and share why my family grew up skiing Otis and why it is the best place to ski on a powder day, or just relax in nature any time of the year.

We had a great stay at The Meadows over New Years with our group. Lots of room to spread out, the hot tub was a hit, loved the fireplaces, great location!
Had an awesome stay - Lars was very attentive , made sure we got there safe and made sure we understood how to handle his amenities from the wood stove , to the hot tub . Plenty of ways to keep yourself and friends entertained if you get tired and cold and want to just stay in .Very cozy place with nice peaceful views , will definitely come back again .
Excellent stays for our girls weekend. Plenty of beds for everyone that were very comfortable. Lots of common area space, big table so we could all eat together. Loved the natural lighting and view! Hot tub was great for relaxing at night. We would definitely return to this property again! I would also bring my family here as there is so much outdoor space for kids to run and play!
We had a great time staying at Lars place. The hot tub was very relaxing and the location was just what we were looking for to get away for a few days.
The property was clean and comfortable. Housed 5 XL guys all with separate beds. All had our own space. Plenty of room and fiber Internet, was a great place to stay and get away from the hustle and bustle.
The hot tub is highlighted for good reason - it's terrific. The house was fine, a little wear and tear here and there, but serviceable. The neighborhood is very quiet, peaceful.
We rented this VRBO for a short family getaway before our first grandchild arrival. Was looking for something big enough to house 6 adults comfortably and in a central location. Haven’t never been to the Berkshire before, this was a great find. Price was affordable and it literally 7-20 minutes from everything. We went to Jacob Pillow, the lake, great eateries, farmers markets. plenty to do locally.The house was clean, large and small enough to
We enjoyed it! Five of us stayed for a quiet weekend away. The house was clean, comfortable, and as advertised. There was plenty of space and beds for us to use. The hot tub was great. I would definitely recommend it to others!
This house was just what we needed for a peaceful and relaxing long weekend. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was awesome! Couldn’t ask for a better place to prep for and recover from a half marathon! Lars is a great host.
A lovely view and the location is amazing—close to many beautiful hikes and you can walk to Otis Ridge. Lars was a really responsive host (we ran out of propane on the grill and he replaced the tank for us; had to leave early for a family emergency and he was very accommodating). Hot tub was a nice treat, too!
My wife and I had a great time at Lars’ retreat. Everything we needed was there. The place was clean, easy to enter, and the hot tub is grand. I recommend this place !

Why they chose this property
The Meadows House is a great place to come and relax. There are things to do in the surrounding Berkshires year-around. In the winter, you can ski the best little ski area south of the Vermont border, Otis Ridge. I raised my children skiing at Otis Ridge. It's affordable and has a great mix of terrain for everyone, including expert skiing in the woods. You can let your kids go off skiing on their own as all trails funnel back down to the lodge. My back yard used to be a ski slope at Otis Ridge. You can't see the rest of the trails from my property, but if the snow is deep enough and you are comfortable skiing through woods, it is possible to ski to the lifts from my home. The views from my home are stunning. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of opportunities for outdoor activities and many quaint small towns to explore, dine, and shop. The people in Otis are friendly and easy going. At the end of the day, you can soak your troubles away in an outdoor 7-person hot tub with colorful LED lighting and powerful therapeutic jets while overlooking the meadow where wildlife like deer, fox, turkeys, owls, hawks, and an occasional bear may come to visit. The inside of the house is comfortable, open to natural lighting, and has all the amenities to make you feel at home. You will love your stay if you decide to book. I look forward to hosting you.
