About this house rental
The Cottage At Mountain Meadow
Originally built as a guest house on a 45 acre country estate in Vermont just five minutes from Williams college, this secluded year-round Vermont home has always been called “The Cottage”, although a recent expansion to a family sized home stretches that definition. Three bedrooms, two full baths plus a pine-paneled loft with additional sleep options. Kitchen opens onto a large, bright and cheerful great room with floor to ceiling local fieldstone fireplace and skylights. Soak up the ambience of a cozy wood fire in colder months. Walk from the house and property directly onto the 240-acre Mountain Meadow Preserve trails…this protected land surrounds the estate. Lush and private woodland setting. Swim or fish for catch and release brook trout and bluegill in the large stocked spring-fed pond.
Relax with family and friends around the fire pit, pick wildflowers in the meadow, collect pictures of birds and wildlife, choose one of the many marked trails to explore, fish or troll the edge of the water with your net for pond life, and don’t forget you are still just five minutes from restaurants and shopping on Spring Street in Williamstown, and four minutes’ drive to the Williamstown access of the new Mohican Trail (mixed use trail: bike, walk, or run). Just thirteen minutes to MASS MoCA.
A comfortable and warm home base for a ski weekend; it’s a scenic 16 mile/about 20 minute drive to Jiminy Peak (with no traffic until you reach the resort), and hour to Mount Snow. The trails surrounding the property are great for cross country skiers.
This home was constructed for privacy, with the front door opening to forest. No windows are visible to the main house up the road and vice versa.
King bed and ensuite bath in the master. Two bedrooms each with a full size bed. There is a twin bed and oversized sleeper chair in the loft. There is an additional foldout chair bed which can move easily to any bedroom. Sleeps 7-9.
We now have 1Gps fiber optic high speed internet.
We ask for no special check out instructions or requirements!
If the dates you have chosen over a year in advance end up being the date of one of the rare local festivals or events, we may raise rates and give you the right of first refusal. (This is to prevent a guest from reserving all the possible weekends of a future event long before the actual date is announced.) We look forward to hosting you!

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
The property was clean and well stocked with everything you need. It is a great space to spend time with family as I did. Our host, Venetia, was more than accommodating. She responded quickly whenever I messaged her. Over all, great experience.

Everything in the house is very clean and looks new. Functions very well for a family with lots of space for everyone.Photos may undersell the property. Very special in the woods. Colors were magnificent.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and well taken care of, and the pond on the property was absolutely gorgeous, such a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy nature. The loft upstairs was perfect for our guests and gave everyone plenty of space. Our host was incredibly friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had, which made the whole experience even better. Just note that the rental is on the same property as the host, but they were very respectful of our privacy. Overall, a beautiful and comfortable place to stay, highly recommend!
