Minutes to local ski areas, downtown Great Barrington, and many more attractions such as Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Shakespeare and Company, Lime Rock Park, and more.

Incredible stay in the Berkshires!!!

I've been visiting the Berkshires for years and I can say that this stay was my absolute favorite. This beautifully maintained home takes you back to the late 1700's early 1800's where one can visualize the way people used to live with the wide board wood floors and multiple fireplaces. Updated and spacious it is a pleasure to spend time within. The location is perfect. Enjoy morning coffee while admiring the vast and beautiful grounds. Very secluded, peaceful and private. Yet minutes away from downtown Great Barrington. The beds were incredibly comfortable and house was very clean. We cannot wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Colin H Smith

We are siblings Colin, Mara and Grinnan. Our property is our childhood home. We have loved this property all our lives and decided to share its magic with you our guests.

What makes this property unique

Our property is one of the oldest homes in Berkshire County, thought to have been built in the mid-1740s. The home retains most of its original features and its massive stove fireplaces, and other period features are the centerpiece of your stay at this home. A reproduction photograph of the Lee family, owners of the home for over 100 years, hangs in the mudroom and greets guests as they enter. Time spent in this home is sure to take your mind off the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
