Overview
3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, 9 Sleeps
Nice Cape Cod-style home located in the foothills of The Berkshires and just 11 miles northwest of Lenox and Tanglewood. The house is situated on a sunny knoll surrounded by 2.8 acres of mature woodlands that offers great privacy. The house features a modern kitchen w/ granite-counter tops, living room, dining room, two bedrooms, full bath, a screened-in, furnished 3-season porch, with TV and a day bed that converts to a twin bed on the 1st floor. The second floor offers one bedroom and a full bath with its own family room/den which includes a trundle bed that sleeps two. There is also an additional kitchen on the second floor. House is easily suitable for two-families or couples vacationing together but also offers privacy for both. The house is ideal for a romantic getaway or family gatherings and exploring the cultural riches of the Berkshires in spring, summer & fall.
Come winter, the house is great for couples or families getting together to ski at Jiminy Peak (25 min. North) or Butternut Ski Basin (30 min. South. The home is 3 minutes away from Queechy Lake, which boasts spring- fed fishing, a private beach for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Tanglewood is just 11 miles away, along with The Berkshires' many cultural and destination attractions including the Norman Rockwell Museum, Jacobs Pillow, Saratoga Springs, Lenox, 3 ski resorts, flea markets and farm stands (in season). You can go shopping and antiquing during the day in nearby Hudson, NY or at the Outlets and then have a quiet dinner in the evening at any of the numerous fine restaurants in Lenox, Stockbridge or Great Barrington.

Girls weekend
Overall everything was great. Plenty of room for everyone. We knew we were going to have bad weather one of our days. May have enjoyed it the most. We had a fire, played games cooked a great meal.
You are definitely off the beaten track. So plan to drive a little or eat in.
House was clean, but could have used a good deep cleaning. There are lots of do dads sitting around I know I would hate to have to move all that stuff to clean and dust😐
Overall we had a good weekend.
Pictures did not do it justice!
My family rented this house for the weekend of my sister's wedding. We wanted a house that would accommodate us comfortably and would also be a good location for pictures. We got both! The house is decorated beautifully. It's tasteful but not overdone. Phone service wasn't all that great which for a wedding weekend is an issue but we were able to call over the wifi. Thank you Andre for all of your help. I hope we will get a chance to visit again.
Relaxing Women's Retreat
We had a women's retreat with some ladies from our church small group. The decode was so elegant and interesting! We had a very relaxing time, and the rental had everything we needed and more! We enjoyed the multiple sitting spaces, and the property was beautiful! The only issue we had was not being able to get the internet working the first day. Other than that, everyone came home refreshed, and relaxed.
Wonderful home away from home
This was the perfect location for our friend's upstate wedding. The area is so beautiful and serene. This was a fantastic place to go back to every night! It is beautifully updated and has a chic "coziness" about it! There were 2 couples at the house; we stayed in the upstairs bedroom, and the other couple were below us in the master. It was the perfect set up for just the right amount of privacy. We all chilled out after the wedding upstairs in the TV area. It was a great way to wind down and hang out.
In all honestly, we could have had 2 more couple stay with us as well - after describing the house, a couple people at the wedding wished they gotten in with us! The second bedroom on the first floor wasn't used at all by us, but I kept walking into it, because it was so darn pretty!
Next upstate trip, this is the place for us!!
