Idylic Antique Farmhouse

This antique farmhouse has been carefully maintained and sensitively updated over time, so that newer spaces feel nearly like the original ca. 1745 core. There were only 4 of us, two parents and two adult daughters, but a group twice our size could be reasonably accommodated. The 10-acre setting is beautiful, with the rear lawn leading to a private pond and the front of the property separated from Rt. 41 by 1/4 mile of farmed fields. The hosts provided clear and thorough instructions and the home was warm and comfortable.

Enjoyable stay in a charming old farmhouse

A well appointed charming old farmhouse in a quiet pastoral setting with a small lake on the property. Close to town and ski areas. House was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Host was easy to communicate with and helpful. He suggested we check in early as snow was forecast in the afternoon. We were 3 generations with a total of 6 of us. The 4 bedrooms and 6 beds ensured everyone had their own bed. Kids enjoyed playing in the snow. Overall an excellent stay. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a sizeable home in a quiet country setting close to town. Definitely deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating.

Great stay!

Host was extremely accommodating and house was as-advertised. Great spot to explore great Barrington and surrounding towns! Wood burning stove and fireplaces are a real highlight! Fire pit is not advertised on listing but there is one. Would recommend highly

Living History In Beauty

Beautiful colonial age property nestled in the Berkshires. We wanted to chill out with the family in a lovely house with access to nature and small town fun. The house gave us that. The house has some age to it and it deserves tender care.

Wonderful Stay

It was a great stay! I booked for a group of guests who were attending a wedding at the Freeman mansion down the road, and it could not have been more perfect. The feedback they gave was that the place was clean and comfortable, and had a fascinating old-timey layout (i.e. the rooms kept going and going!) Highly recommend the place.

Family gathering

Our family had the pleasure of staying at this home during our child’s graduation from the nearby Berkshire school. It was the perfect situation for us in an idyllic setting very close to the campus. The home is over 250 years old and has been lovingly updated. The kitchen has seemingly all new appliances and gorgeous wood plank countertops with an adjacent windowed sitting area with a large hearth. The old and new are beautifully combined. Our family members spent a lot of time looking at the old books and artifacts around the home, especially the photograph in the entryway of the family that had owned the home for over 100 years. While sitting in the kitchen, you can enjoy a view of the green pasture to the left of the home and the pond at the back. The front of the home has a gorgeous view of Everett Mountain. From the patio, you can sit in the shade of a large tree and look out onto the pond and woods beyond. We were thrilled to watch a snapping turtle come up the grass incline to find a spot to lay her eggs. We enjoyed a family meal in the wood-paneled dining room, which has been beautifully maintained and also has windows out to the pond. This spacious home has been lovingly updated and maintained and is in a tucked-away setting close to Sheffield, Egremont, and Great Barrington.

Wonderful stay in an amazing house

We really enjoyed our stay in this authentic vintage home. It was very roomy and clean and the host went out of his way for us. We flew out from Chicago so really enjoyed the different style of home and land than we are used to and were able to catch up with my son and his 3 friends who are walking the Appalachian trail. Great place for a family or group of friends.

Incredible stay in the Berkshires!!!

I've been visiting the Berkshires for years and I can say that this stay was my absolute favorite. This beautifully maintained home takes you back to the late 1700's early 1800's where one can visualize the way people used to live with the wide board wood floors and multiple fireplaces. Updated and spacious it is a pleasure to spend time within. The location is perfect. Enjoy morning coffee while admiring the vast and beautiful grounds. Very secluded, peaceful and private. Yet minutes away from downtown Great Barrington. The beds were incredibly comfortable and house was very clean. We cannot wait to return!

We are siblings Colin, Mara and Grinnan. Our property is our childhood home. We have loved this property all our lives and decided to share its magic with you our guests.

What makes this property unique

Our property is one of the oldest homes in Berkshire County, thought to have been built in the mid-1740s. The home retains most of its original features and its massive stove fireplaces, and other period features are the centerpiece of your stay at this home. A reproduction photograph of the Lee family, owners of the home for over 100 years, hangs in the mudroom and greets guests as they enter. Time spent in this home is sure to take your mind off the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
