About this house rental
This lovely home is located in a quiet corner of the northern Berkshires. It is located just over a mile from beautiful Tannery Falls in the Savoy State forest. It is a good home base from which to do area hiking as well as day trips to area attractions in the Berkshires.
The house has a large combined living room and fully-equipped kitchen with cathedral ceilings. Both bedrooms look out on the woods - one with a queen bed and one with a double bed. The bedroom with the double bed has a screened in porch. The spacious bathroom has a stand-up shower and a 2-person jacuzzi tub.
There is a hiking trail and wetlands in the woods behind the house. The house is also located across from Starseed Healing Sanctuary and Holistic Retreat Center, which has a number of trails and interesting spots to visit such as a peace labyrinth.
For cold weather stays, please note that the primary source of heat is wood stove. Cord wood, fire starting materials and instructions are provided, but you would have to be comfortable operating the wood stove yourself. The house is very well insulated and gets great solar gain on sunny days, so while it may not be needed at all times, the stove is certainly needed some of the time during the winter and shoulder seasons. There are plug-in electric heaters in the bedrooms so you don't have to operate the stove during sleeping hours.

Had a great time. House was easy to keep warm. Very quiet and secluded area. House is well kept and clean. Everything you need to cook was in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable and linens were nice. The bathtub was perfectly clean and great to relax in

This is a charming and rustic home literally surrounded by woods. It is up a winding mountain road which make most excursions to Berkshire sites 45 minutes to an hour. The WiFi is not very strong, but owners may be planning a remedy for that. An old TV and DVD player were not working very well and also may be replaced. In all other ways the house and kitchen are well equipped and a good place to “get away from it all”!

It's in the woods, it's quiet, it's warm (with the wood-burning stove), and it's the same every time. Highly recommended (just don't stay there when I want to!)

This lovely property provided an opportunity to spend quiet quality time with our family. I have never seen a rental with a better equipped kitchen. The whirlpool bath was a fun bonus. Bedrooms were cozy and comfortable and the main living space us commodious with lots of seating. We enjoyed the onsite hiking trail and checking out the beaver ponds and habit. We will certainly be back with out children in the future.
