Email this listing to a friendVacation Rental Owner/ManagerName: James Murray & Eleanor SaundersVacation Rental DescriptionEnjoy our newly renovated, light-filled log house and studio, set on 190 acres of land with a pond for swimming, woodland trails for walking or cross-country skiing, and access to the Green River. Located on the New York/ Massachusetts border, the property is about 12 miles to either Tanglewood or Great Barrington, and convenient to three ski areas. In season, you will see lots of birds and wildlife, and at any time, will enjoy a private and quiet setting from which to take advantage of the many cultural and outdoors activities in the Berkshires and Hudson Valley. The log house has a large, open living/dining/kitchen area with a cathedral ceiling and a wood stove. A two-part sleeping loft with a double bed and two twins can be reached by staircase from the living area. The master bedroom and bathroom occupy a separate wing across the entry hall. Additionally, we have a four-season, free-standing studio which can be used as a bedroom (double futon couch opens out to a bed) or a study/practice room for writers or musicians. There are wonderful views of the Taconic Hills from the porches of both structures and from the lawn that slopes down to the pond. Vacation Rental AmenitiesOur kitchen is fully equipped with a new stove, refrigerator and dishwasher along with a microwave and full complement of dishes and cookware. We also provide bed linens. The Jotul wood stove in our living room has a glass door through which you can enjoy the fire. Central heating makes the stove unnecessary, except for your pleasure. There are two bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combination and the other with a shower. In springtime, both look out onto a robin's nest where you can see the babies being fed! A new washer and dryer are located in the full semi-finished basement. A DSL internet connection can be added to our phone service, if you wish. Cell phone reception is good for AT & T or Verizon; we don't have experience with other carriers. We are happy to provide you with a TV and DVD player, but do not have cable or satellite service. Activities and AttractionsA wide range of activities are always available. In addition to Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony, numerous local chamber music series feature world-class musicians throughout the year. Jacob's Pillow, a renowned dance venue, offers performances all summer as do several theater festivals. Newly renovated historic theaters in Great Barrington and Pittsfield put on varied programs year round. Excellent restaurants are nearby in Great Barrington, Lenox and Stockbridge, and also in the Hudson area, which is only a little over 20 miles west of us. Ditto for shops, with amazing numbers of antique shops in both Hudson NY and in Sheffield MA. Outdoors, when you want more than the swimming, walking, and cross-country skiing possibilities right outside your door, you can select from a wide range of summer and winter sports including canoing and kayaking on the Housatonic River; hiking in the Taconics and on the Appalachian Trail; skiing or snowboarding at Butternut, Catamount and Jiminy Peak; golf, horseback riding, and tennis -- all within an easy drive.
