About this property

Konkapot Cottage, Pastoral Bliss With Wide Views

Newly and totally renovated house, with modern appliances and bathrooms in the heart of the Berkshires. The house features sweeping views, screened in porch and sun deck. There is plenty of space with a living room and separate dining room. Property includes a one car attached garage, hardwood floors, and cozy rugs throughout, with central air and heat. You will find all you will need to enjoy everything this beautiful area offers.

Konkapot Cottage sits on 16 acres of beautiful land and the Konkapot River runs through the middle of it. It is set on a quiet country road and is 2.5 hrs from NYC or Boston, 40 minutes from Tanglewood, 20 minutes from the town of Great Barrington, where there are many fine restaurants and shopping, 15 minutes from Butternut Ski area, and 10 minutes from Gedney Farm and the Old Inn on the Green. We are located near the CT. border and are only 15 minutes from Norfolk, Ct. and Infinity Hall. There are many hiking trails all around the area, including a short drive to access The Appalachian Trail.

The house has been totally rebuilt, retaining some original elements. The renovation was designed and built by a Scottish master builder and it has many unique contemporary yet country details. The kitchen is equipped with a professional grade range, microwave oven, professional cookware and small appliances, soapstone counter tops, and other stainless steel appliances. The living room has a lovely propane burning stove vented up the old fireplace to keep you cozy in the winter. Also in the living room is a flat screened TV with AppleTV which provides HBO, Showtime, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and more, and a DVD player with a selection of DVD's

The primary bedroom and the back bedroom have queen sized beds, each with access to separate bathrooms. The middle bedroom has a full sized bed and can be accessed by walking through one of the two other bedrooms only, so this bedroom is ideal for family members or children.

Eating areas include a dining room with a great view and a dining table and chairs for 6-8 people, and a screened in porch with dining table and chairs. The back yard is open yet private with sweeping views onto farm land and The Berkshire Hills beyond. There is an outdoor fire pit in the back yard provided with fire wood to enjoy the moonrise. We also include a Weber BBQ grill.

The house has a mudroom/entry area accessed from the driveway, the garage and the screened porch.

Cell coverage is spotty at best in our area, but there is excellent WiFi!

The surrounding yard is private and beautifully landscaped with several perennial flower beds

Self check-in made easy with lock box. The code will be provided the day before check in.

Liz’s house is such a gem. It feels like a real Home, not a rental property. It’s stocked with everything and the furnishing and details are tasteful and inviting. The property is stunning and Liz was responsive and attentive. This was one of our favorite homes to stay in.

Awesome getaway

The property is amazing. It's very clean and well maintained. Plus, Liz stocked it with everything you can think of. Everything you might need and more is there, from extra chargers to pots/pans and utensils, and everything in between. The huge backyard is the perfect spot to have a cup of coffee in the morning or relax with a bonfire at night. I highly recommend reserving this property. It's a must visit!

Don't Pass Up

If you are planning a trip to Western Massachusetts and are looking for the perfect place, don't pass this one up. The house, the location, and the communication with the property owner was perfect. We spent 5 days in the area and returning to the house to relax and enjoy time with friends and unwind couldn't have been any better. Zero complaints!

Heaven on Earth

This is, by far, the best VRBO I’ve had consistently. This was our 3rd stay. The house is comfortable and well appointed with a well equipped kitchen. The property itself is a show stopper. Sweeping meadows, a riverside beach and beautiful trails for walking. The hostess is fantastic with excellent communication and kindness. We will definitely be back!

A Lovely Place

A beautiful property - the grounds and the house. Warm and welcoming. The house felt like a home not a rental property. It is well cared for, comfortable, with everything you need. We loved staying there! Liz is an attentive host, always responsive to my questions by text. Though we never met her, her care and thoughtfulness were present. The moment I stepped into the house I knew our family would be happy there.

Beautiful cottage to enjoy nature and the foliage

The cottage is well-appointed, cozy, and rustic, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Liz was an amazing host, even providing us with local items for breakfast, and was extremely responsive and quick to help resolve an issue at the house with the fire alarms. While there is no cell service, the wifi is strong for those working remotely. We enjoyed the huge backyard, complete with a fire pit and plenty of firewood (there was also fire starter to get us going!), as well as the short walk to a private river and "beach" area. Overall excellent stay and would recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the Berkshires!

Luxury Relaxation

This was our 2nd visit to this home. It is, by far, the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed. The home is luxurious and comfortable. The property is fantastic with beautiful walking trails and a riverside beach. Our almost 3yo granddaughter was comfortable and happy picking wild flowers in the fields, tossing stones in the river and watching a myriad of turkey, birds, and deer. We even saw a bear a couple of times. The host is amazing! We plan to return in the Fall.

A Splendid Week

Liz has thought of everything! After getting in late, we so appreciated having coffee, tea, milk, butter, juice, English muffins, and jam waiting and ready for us in the morning. We were excited to hear coyotes partying in the field by the river that night and set out the next day to explore the paths where they were. The kitchen is truly fully stocked with equipment for those who like to cook, and although I didn’t wind up cooking a lot because the nearby restaurants are fabulous, I could have easily cooked up a storm. The beds are super comfy, and the soaking tub was a treat to decompress in after my son’s weekend wedding. Highly recommended!

Awesome stay

The house and grounds are beautiful and in top notch condition. Located on a quiet road in the Berkshires it is conveniently located with easy access to the Berkshires and Litchfield towns. The architect modernized farm house has everything needed for an excellent get away. We will surely return.

Sweet cottage/sylvan setting

We needed an accessible vacation home and we found it here. Beautifully appointed, generally convenient to use, quiet and with a host who was most helpful and kind. For those who come to the western Berkshires in the summer months to take advantage of the outstanding arts and culture scene, this location requires extra driving time although driving through scenic farmland is always delightful.

Luxury Home/Luxury Setting

This, in all honesty, was the best VRBO we've ever stayed in. The home is lovely, extremely well equipped and if you happen to cook, it's the place for you! Everything is well thought out. The setting is spectacular! Open fields with trails, a river side beach and, of course, close to a lot of hiking and shopping in Great Barrington. The host is just terrific, great communication! Thank you so much!

Pastoral Bliss

The hosts made us feel welcome from the start through easy and efficient communication. The house and property exceeded our expectations in every way. This is by far the best VRBO rental we ever had. The house comes with everything. Elevated kitchen and baths features, superb sleeping and seating comfort inside and outside. Screened and open porches with dining seating, a private river beach with fire pit and seating, air conditioning or open windows, depending on temperatures. Even the wifi was workable for three digitally active family members (broadband expansion is coming to the area soon). The valley view alone with sightings of wild turkeys, deer and herons was worth it. We went on three major hikes and loved each one. We would be thrilled to return! Thanks to Liz and Don for a marvelously relaxing week.

Comfortable home in beautiful setting

I very much enjoyed my stay at this newly renovated home. Appointed with all amenities one could need, best of all was the outdoor splendor of the Berkshires accessible from the back yard. Also having a one-car garage was very convenient. Liz is super responsive and made sure everything was perfect for my vacation.

Lovely and tranquil

We had a wonderful week at Konkapot Cottage. The cottage is well designed and very comfortable. Kitchen perfectly appointed with excellent appliances and all the essentials you would hope for plus many extras. . Lovely new bathrooms. We loved sitting/working at the dining room table or out on the deck, looking out at the meadow. Our walks on the quiet roads nearby were a highlight—wooded, farmland, rivers and brooks. Liz was lovely, extremely responsive and friendly. Truly a pleasure.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I love living in The Berkshires! We have put care and thought into renovating and appointing our Konkapot Cottage and we hope everyone will love it as much as we do! We live next door but out of site, so we are available if needed but want to give our guests the privacy they desire.

What makes this property unique

We are a family of artists! As well as displaying the art of family members on the walls, we also display original art of local artists in our area. We feel this is a unique feature of Konkapot Cottage. We are always searching and collecting art to share with our guests
