Charming historic farmhouse minutes to Great Barrington MA and Salisbury CT

Update 5/31: We are new to VRBO and are thrilled with the feedback we have had from our guests thus far. You will love staying at our property if you love an old home. Please note that we offer a 10% discount for weekly rentals until our calendar books up.

Experience the breathtaking views of Mt. Everett from one of the oldest homes in the Berkshires. Our meticulously maintained 1740s homestead maintains many of its original features and is a perfect place for those looking for a quiet and private place to relax and recharge.

Location:
Minutes to local ski areas, downtown Great Barrington, and many more attractions such as Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Shakespeare and Company, Lime Rock Park, Berkshire School and more.

Space:
Cozy up next to one of the many fireplaces and unwind with your favorite read. Don't worry if you forgot your book, our bookshelves are stocked with a variety of interesting reads both fact and fiction. The two large fireplaces located in the formal dining and living room are a magical feature of the home. They create the perfect atmosphere for celebrating a special occasion or holiday. An addition to the original house features a bright kitchen/family room space with modern appliances and beautiful custom cherry countertops that will keep the cook in your family happy. There is also a wood-burning stove in this space which makes it an inviting place to connect and relax during those cool fall and winter days. Our house also features a greenhouse space which is active from mid-fall through to the spring. Guests are welcome to interact with and enjoy the space.

Outdoor Space:
Our 10-acre property is surrounded by conservation land with several walking trails accessible directly from the property. Your morning coffee will feel extra satisfying while sitting on the terrace overlooking the perennial garden and backyard pond. Throughout the year a diverse population of waterfowl stop at the pond for a little rest during their own travels. We have a large gas grill for all your barbecuing activities.

Other things to note about our property:
+ The house is nearly 280 years old and retains its original construction.
+ We currently are not allowing any parties or events at the home.
+ Our home is a historic space and therefore we are not allowing pets.
+ Picnic supplies/chairs/blankets etc are available for guests attending local outdoor venues.

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!
