About the host
Hosted by Sid Bakst and Lauren Sumner

My wife and I have owned this wonderful home since 2005 and started renting it out since 2024 as we moved from our primary residence in New Jersey down to Florida. But we love the Berkshires and this home too much so we wanted to hold onto the property. We enjoy all the cultural activities the Berkshires has to offer including shows and music and museums along with the hiking and biking and beautiful scenery. We have enjoyed sharing our home and letting others enjoy the magic of the Berkshires that we have known for decades.
Why they chose this property
We love that this home is so private yet a short ~ 2mile drive to the center of Great Barrington giving us the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
We love the privacy the property provides and love all the many various spaces within the home itself. We also love that we can hike for hours in the woods behind the home and enjoy the trails year round.
