Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ephrat David
We have been living in the Berkshires for more than 30 years. When our children left the nest, we started "filling the nest" with guests we enjoy hosting.
Why they chose this property
Location: 2 minutes walk to the lake, 10 mins walk to downtown, home to many delightful restaurants, shops, galleries, and theater venues (Mahaiwe Performing Arts & Triplex Movie Theater). This house is a short drive to Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Shakespeare & Co. etc. During summer there are many activities & events every day for people of all ages. During the fall, the view from the house is even more stunning. During the winter you can visit nearby skiing resorts. The house is 8 mins drive to Butternut Ski area (3.8 miles), and 15 mins drive to Catamount ski area (8miles). Guests who have stayed at our house say the picture do not do it justice. It is difficult to describe how wonderful it is. Please read our reviews.
What makes this property unique
A home away from home. We provide more amenities than most, so that you do not have to bring so many things from your house (e.g paper goods, bathroom supply such as shampoo, soap, lotion, toothpaste, etc). We also provide detailed guides to our area, including things to do, massage/spa, art & galleries, historic homes, shopping & restaurants. kayaking, fishing hiking & biking.
