River Cottage: Riverfront Home, Walkable Community
Summary:
Welcome to River Cottage, a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom riverfront gem in the heart of Great Barrington. Located along the scenic Housatonic River, this enchanting home offers the serenity of country living with the added benefit of being within walking distance to all the amenities of a vibrant, walkable community.
River Cottage is just a short stroll away from local favorites like Prairie Whale, charming shops, and the bustling Farmer's Market.
The Space:
River Cottage boasts a pristine, completely renovated interior with gorgeous finishes throughout. The open-concept living and dining rooms flow effortlessly into a chef's kitchen, complete with a walk-in country pantry.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a king bed, complemented by two guest bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with another king bed. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms ensure privacy and convenience for all guests.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the charming, wrapping front porch or host a delightful al fresco dinner in the backyard’s outdoor dining area. The fenced backyard extends to the water's edge, offering stunning river views. Entertain guests on the back deck, relax in one of the many seating areas, or enjoy a cozy fire in the riverfront fire pit.
River Cottage is the epitome of a country escape, providing a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, this idyllic home offers everything you need to relax, entertain, and enjoy the best of Great Barrington. Come experience the magic of River Cottage—where country living meets urban walkability in the most delightful way.
Guest Access:
Guests at River Cottage have access to the entire home, the front porch and yard, and backyard with patio, herb garden, fire pit, and river view.
The Neighborhood:
River Cottage is located on a residential street in the heart of Great Barrington with walkable access to several grocery stores, outstanding restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, yoga, and more. You're also close to hiking, skiing, arts and cultural institutions. During warmer months the Great Barrington Farmer's Market operates every Saturday from 9am-1pm, providing the opportunity to cook family meals made with locally-sourced organic produce without getting in your car!
Guests at River Cottage have access to an easy walk into town via the pedestrian-only Cottage Street Bridge.
Getting Around:
You'll need a car to get here and get around the Berkshires, but downtown Great Barrington is just a short walk away! The house has moderate cell service, but the surrounding areas are full of cellular dead zones. We recommend downloading the region's online maps to your device prior to your arrival or any day tripping you do while you’re here.
