About this property
Rustic Waterfront Retreat With Private Dock, 2 kayaks & canoe. Air conditioner!
This A-frame cottage has private waterfront access with two single kayaks and a canoe. A new 12,000 btu air conditoner keeps much of the main floor cool in summer. When the crisp Fall temperatures hit, the house has a proper forced hot air heating system w/ heat registers in the floors and a touchscreen thermostat on the wall, across from the bathroom. You have a master bedroom downstairs with a full sized bed, an upstairs bedroom with 2 twin beds and a loft area upstairs that has a pull out futon bed. There is 1 bathroom with a shower and a large living area with a futon that can sleep more people. A deck provides a beautiful view of the woods and the waterfront. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and utensils. (Please Note: There is no dishwasher, garbage disposal or washer/dryer. And due to allergies in the family, we do not allow pets at the A-Frame.) Our home has been rented in the summer to Tanglewood musicians for the last 20 years without interruption. The main floor is carpeted and the loft and bedroom upstairs have throw rugs.
(Please note that the propane fireplace in the main room is decorative only - due to insurance regulations. The 12,000 btu air conditioner and plenty of fans keeps your summer time cool. The central forced hot air heating system keeps the house quite comfortable in the Spring and Fall)
If you are into Yoga, you may know that world renowned Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health is 10 minutes by car and a half hour canoe ride from the cottage. Yes, you can actually canoe/kayak to Kripalu from the cottage. It is an amazing experience!

About the host
Hosted by Tim Kaul
Tim and Dave Kaul are brothers who own the A-frame that was built by their father in 1971. The Kaul family has enjoyed skiing at Jiminy Peak, Butternut, Catamount, and Bousquet Ski areas since they were 6 years old and always enjoyed eating spaghetti with their parents after a fun day on the slopes. Now, Tim's 2 boys (ages 10 & 13) enjoy skiing at the same ski areas and living in the cottage just as Tim and Dave did a generation before.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage is a wonderful place to be no matter the season as there is a lot going on in the Berkshires, an art and recreational mecca.
If you come in October, you can see the beauty of the leaves turning orange.
For artists and patrons of the arts, the Norman Rockwell Museum is 15 minutes away in downtown Stockbridge and MASS MoCA, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, is less than an hour away.
What makes this property unique
A fantastic feature that really makes the cottage wonderful is the private dock with a canoe. Stockbridge Bowl has access to Kripalu, the Yoga and Health center.
