About this property

A 200 year old center hall colonial between the Berkshires and the Hudson River

This property is located on an acre in a small village within easy walking distance of a gourmet country store, a tavern, and the post office. As you can see from the photos, this is a true family home with an up-to date fully equipped kitchen, a formal dining room, comfortable living room with a library of books, and many cozy spaces to enjoy.

NEARBY: An easy drive to Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow, Hancock Shaker Village, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Red Lion Inn, Chesterwood, historic Berkshire “cottages” such as Naumkeg and the Mount, the Berkshire Botanical Gardens, Kripalu, the Appalachian Trail, Olana, Hudson’s antique stores, the area’s fresh produce markets, and the Shaker Museum.. It’s a fun day trip to racing at Saratoga, to Mass MoCA, and to the Clark Museum.
The house features a new entrance and mudroom at the rear of the driveway. Downstairs the house consists of a large living room, a formal dining room, big eat-in kitchen, laundry room, a sun porch, the mudroom, and a full bath.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one with a half bath. The house comfortably sleeps 4. One bedroom has a double bed, the other, one double bed and a single. The sun porch on the first floor has a trundle bed which is great for napping. The porch, however, is usable only in the summer as it is not heated. Each upstairs bedroom has a window air-conditioner in summer.
In the living room there is a fireplace, and a TV with Apple TV. The fully equipped kitchen includes a microwave, dishwasher, a Sub Zero refrigerator, a gas stove, and all cooking utensils and tableware. The formal dining room seats eight. There is a washer and a dryer in the laundry room off the kitchen. All bed and bath linens, as well as table linens, are provided. The house is WIFI enabled.

I need 1 to 2 weeks notice to set the house up for rental as it is a family home and I need to remove personal items.

Beautiful and comfortable escape
Timeless,elegant country home with screened porch and large yard. The house was comfortable and perfect for our family of five and dog. It was a short drive to Tanglewood, in a sleepy corner just down the road from Chatham. Our host provided all the needed information as well as recommendations in the area.

Historically accurate place; location was perfect
In town for my high school reunion. Wish we could have stayed longer. House was perfectly remodeled, very thoughtful. We had everything we needed. Old Chatham is quaint little town. Liked listening to the creek across the road.

I Want to Live Here!
The house is as described, a gorgeous antique cottage oozing charm with lovely antiques and vintage touches. I fell in love with it instantly. It was clean, well appointed, and located in a great spot -- walking distance to town center. The cottage was more than big enough for four of us. Sally was a gracious host, super helpful and full of suggestions to help make our stay in the Old Chatham/Berkshires area more enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again.

This property originally belonged to my parents, and now serves as a weekend home for my family. More than a rental, it is my second home. We hope others will enjoy it as much as we do.
