Luxury Berkshire Estate: Proximity to all the best the Berkshires has to offer!


"Words can't describe the incredible experience our family had during the holiday season at this magnificent property."

"The house radiates warmth and coziness, making it the ideal setting for our holiday gathering."

This 20+ acre estate features a 5 bedroom haven and four full and two half bathrooms. There are two additional rooms featuring sleeper sofas to accommodate your entire group comfortably.

Great for larger families, with an abundance of space to spread out. There are three separate living rooms, each equipped with its own TV and plush furniture.

There is a spacious and fully equipped gourmet kitchen, perfect for family cooking, entertainment, and bonding. It has Subzero/Wolf appliances and offers breathtaking mountain views. Don't forget to check our freezer, where locally made SOCO ice cream is stocked as our gift to you.

The main living/gathering room has been completely redesigned, featuring comfortable furnishings and an 80" TV with surround sound. Cozy up by the new gas fireplace.

The extra-large primary suite features a new bathroom and an extensive closet/dressing area with its own washer and dryer. Each of the five bedrooms offers mountain views and either a sunrise or sunset panorama.

Gather around our two outdoor fire pits for marshmallow roasting and quality time with your family; or grill on either of our two gas BBQ grills.

Stay comfortable throughout the year with our updated central air conditioning and a new gas forced air heating system, each bedroom equipped with its own HVAC system.

Stay active with our well-equipped gym which includes a Peloton Bike, free weights, a bench, Bosu ball, various mats, and small equipment. There's also a TV/DVD player for your workout videos.

Stay connected, work or watch videos with high-speed fiber internet.

Explore the area: Catamount skiing is 10 minutes away; Butternut Ski is a 20 minute drive. Hiking trails are plentiful with the Appalachian trail nearby as well as Bash Bish Falls. A quick 12 minute drive takes you to Great Barrington where you can experience wonderful restaurants, cafes, gourmet grocery stores, art galleries and boutique shopping. Travel 30 minutes west to downtown Hudson, NY where you can scout for antiques, dine at local restaurants, or visit artisanal shops. In the summer months visit Tanglewood for live music, Jacob’s Pillow for outdoor theater, or the Great Barrington Farmers market for local delicacies.

For your peace of mind: engage the home security system, with parking and motion detection lights, along with a driveway bell to alert you to arrivals and departures.

Cleaning services are available during your stay at an additional cost, and we can arrange grocery shopping and delivery, as well as prepared meals from local chefs.

Experience privacy, comfort, and luxury with proximity to the best the Berkshires has to offer. Book your stay today. We're excited to welcome you to The Birches!

Exquisite Home
Think of a beautiful, spacious, designer decorated, fabulously equipped home…and then multiply it. I can’t believe we found this rental! And, to top it off, the owner and property manager were absolutely wonderful to work with. If you can rent this home (and it is a home - not just a house) you shouldn’t hesitate. Thank you - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Massachusetts.

Wonderful summer family vacation
Our family of nine adults enjoyed a wonderful summer vacation at this property. Fern was welcoming, generous, and responsive. Her house manager, Olympia, was terrific, dealing with any questions or concerns promptly. The house is expansive, comfortable, beautifully decorated and fully outfitted. There was lots of space and adequate Wi-Fi for four people to work simultaneously while others could relax. We enjoyed spending time together in many common areas, cooking in the huge kitchen, and eating in the glass conservatory. The property and pool are beautifully landscaped with awesome views of surrounding mountains. The location is great, near to many towns, cultural attractions and recreational activities. We all wished our stay could have been longer and would gladly return to vacation here again. Thank you, Fern.

Not a white Christmas in the Berkshire's but it sparkled none the less
Our family spent Christmas and New Years at this gorgeous home and I can't say enough about this experience. There were 12 in our party including our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter and we all felt the same about this incredible setting for our vacation. Fern's house is big but it exudes warmth and coziness that was perfect for our holiday getaway. The chef's kitchen was the highlight for us. It was well appointed with an 8 burner Wolf stove, massive counter top/breakfast bar and a well stocked fridge and pantry, all for our use. BONUS - the freezer stocked with ice cream!! There were ample bedrooms and bathrooms and lots of space for hanging out and for sneaking away for a nap or a good read. Another room in the house I visited daily was the gym. Fully outfitted with weights, a Peloton, a TV and a ballet barre. What a pleasure to have in a vacation rental. While we didn't have snow to speak of, we did get a few days of light snow and did some sledding. The house also has a play structure with a slide and swings. Fun for everyone. We are seriously considering coming back next year and would highly recoomend

My family loved our stay! The home was beautiful and the grounds and pool were stunning. The home owners were highly attentive and professional, and we had everything we needed and more to thoroughly enjoy our week away. My kids are already asking when we can go back. Would 100% recommend!
