About this property
Sweet Beehive Cottage / Berkshire Foothills. Minimum 15 days
Charming, Rustic, Casual Summer Home set in the middle of a nature preserve.
This cottage is simple but fully furnished, with 4 small bedrooms (2 queens, 1 dbl, 2 twins plus a extra twin in the upstairs open hall), full kitchen with D/W, and washer/dryer in basement. One bedroom on main floor (queen), 3 bedrooms (queen,double, two twins) upstairs. Main bath upstairs, with small powder room on main floor. Stone patio with table and chairs and BBQ, and a big grass yard that is mowed regularly in the summer. The house was built ~1830, around a great stone fireplace with hand-hewn chestnut beams, and is great for families, or a peaceful retreat for a couple or two. The main bathroom is on the second floor, with a shallow bathtub/shower combo, which has a sloped ceiling. Water is from a well, that produces the best drinking water on the east coast! You can walk to a swimming pond 1/4 mile from the house, and walk the local trails, incl the Appalachian. Or you can drive anywhere in the foothills of the Berkshires, you're 2 miles from the closest small deli/grocery/package store/post office in Cornwall Bridge, and 7 miles from Kent, CT, or 10 miles to Bantam / Litchfield.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. This house is in a rural country location. You are surrounded by a deciduous forest, there are lots of animals: deer, racoon, porcupines, foxes, occasional black bear! There are mice and chipmunks, and sometimes these tiny critters come inside. We de-mice regularly, but if you are afraid of mice, nature, or forests, this is NOT the place for you.
2. The Beehive is part of an ASSOCIATION, where the land is owned in common. The ASSOCIATION does not rent to convicted sex offenders. Dogs must be in control, and excessive barking or aggressive behavior is not allowed.
Lots of fabulous side trips in the area.
Loads of hiking trails, inc the Appallachian.
Take the train into NYC if you need a big city hit, closest station is Harlem Valley/Wingdale on the Metro line, about 30 min drive from the house.
Drive up to Mass Moca in western MA, it's about 2.5 hours to North Adams. Boston is 4 hours, and Vermont and Maine are a days drive.
Kent, Bantam, New Preston, Litchfield and Torrington have good restaurants, and great shops. Hartford/Springfield Airport is 1.5 hr drive.
The Beehive is well-loved by it's owners, and the walls are adorned with lovely paintings and antique furniture mixed with vacation necessities. We have Optimum internet service. There is a TV, and a Roku. There is a stereo you can cast your tunes through. A place to relax, unwind, and be close to nature.
