We are nestled at the foot of October Mountain State Forest, yet close to the centers of Lee, Lenox, & Pittsfield. Our charming house was built in 1817- original wood beams, wood floors, and quite a history.

Whether you enjoy skiing, exploring local restaurants & downtowns, venturing outdoors or experiencing the local art scene, the Berkshires has something for everyone. Our little farmhouse serves as the perfect "home base" for all of your Berkshire adventures.

Our charming farm-house is 800 sq. ft. It's cozy, quaint, and very sweet.

|Other Things to Note|

-We call this a farmhouse because it reflects the original style of one and WAS one (two hundred years ago)- not because the house is on a farm.

- There is not good cellular service at this property. We DO provide WiFi. We recommend setting up WiFi calling on your cell phone prior to your arrival.

-Our king bed fits two people. If you need another sleeping space, there is a queen air mattress stored in the upper room (we also provide linens for the air mattress- will be brought out upon request).

- Our stairwell is more narrow than most and gets you to the upper room & bedroom. You must travel down them to use the bathroom. *IF YOU ARE DISABLED OR UNCOMFORTABLE WITH STAIRS, THIS MAY NOT BE THE SPACE FOR YOU.* You will have to navigate stairs while staying here.

- We do not have a clothing iron. Our dryer does, however, have a "steaming" feature.

- Absolutely no smoking of any kind inside of the house.

- Fire-pit is not available for guest use.
During your stay at this farm stay, you're just a quick walk from Housatonic River.
  • Just a 4-minute walk from Housatonic River and a 3-minute drive from Wyndhurst Golf & Club

Sweet little retreat
A sweet little farm house perfect for a long weekend getaway. We love the lofty primary bed room and excellent mattress, exposed beams and well-supplied and modern kitchen. Great location between Lee and Lenox, made it easy to get all around the Berkshires. All the equipment and appliances m the house were clean and updated. Quiet neighborhood, lovely and large state forest right close by.
