The tree house has a queen-sized bed in a private bedroom with full bath and a double bed in the living room, as well as a sofabed in the living room.

There is an additional full bathroom off the living room, making mornings and nights a breeze for when this upscale accommodation is at capacity.
A modern wood-burning fireplace is the centerpiece of the living room, surrounded by large windows that offer vacationers stunning views of the woodlands around the tree house. The dining area off of the kitchen includes similar and equally as impressive views of the surrounding area, as grand windows are a prime feature in this luxury tree house.

About Katherine Auleta
I'm a creative who work/live in Manhattan. We travel constantly, but love our getaways in the country when we can.
Katherine Auleta purchased this chalet in 2012
Why Katherine Auleta chose Berkshires
The Berkshires are an idyllic part of America. Despite being extremely 'country', this area boasts some incredible cultural experiences. Tanglewood , Jacob's Pillow, Mass Moca, and Kripalu are all top notch experiences. The artisanal food available is up to par with any big city farmers market, and nearby Great Barrington is a wonderful little city full of great shops and an independent movie theater.
What makes this chalet unique
Our house is a few hundred yards from Otis ridge ski mountain, a tiny little resort just bought and updated by Butternut. It's perfect for firsttime skiiers and children. We are also within 30 miles from the larger Butternut, Blanford, and Bosquet mountains. There is an Appalachian trailhead 8 miles from our house and wonderful hiking/swimming all nearby.

Awesome gem of a home.
A great hideaway with everything you will need to feel right at home.
Incredible!
What an incredible romantic place. Totally secluded and private. The pictures don't do it justice. Make sure to bring lots of firewood because the fire is awesome. Restaurants were 25 min away which didn't bother us but something to think about. Cute ski mountain literally down the block. If you like hiking or snow shoeing tons of trails a short drive.
Great Place!
Wonderful place. Beautiful location. KT super nice and easy to communicate with!
Beautiful nest
This home is a truly special place nestled into the side of a hill. Starry night gazing awaits. Day trips to the best of the Berkshires are easily accessible.
Highly recommend! Peaceful, private and very comfortable.
Charming and cleverly designed "Treehouse" situated in a peaceful and private woodland setting. Comfortable, clean and very well maintained. Instantly felt at home. The owner is also very attentive, eager to provide information about the surrounding area and considerate (even checking in to see you things were). Located in "South County" of the Berkshires which is within close driving distance to waterfalls, wildlife sanctuaries, hiking trails, lakes... Left there determined to rent the place again in another season just to enjoy the same accommodations and surroundings during a different time of year. I loved ever minute and left rejuvenated!
Those in Glass Houses....enjoy the view.
I spent a completely relaxing early spring weekend at this "just right" home. Large windows encircle all but the bathrooms. This makes for lovely views and an open feeling that is balanced by modern, earthy decor. It snowed while I was there so I got to experience the home in sun and snow....both lovely.
The bed and linens are simple and comfortable, as are the bathrooms. The kitchen has beautiful cabinets, wooden counter, and natural stone backsplash, it was plenty well-equipped for me, but do note that there is no microwave. The house has a good fireplace and various cozy reading spots. The table for two makes for a good desk or dining spot. I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at The Farmington, a good, simple, Italian dinner at Frateli's, and got other supplies from Katie's general store. If you need rest, romance, or to get work done, this home can be that place. KT was helpful throughout the reservation and rental.
*If you have mobility issues or a larger person, the spiral staircase could pose a problem....it's a tight winding staircase from the entryway to the main floor.
