Vacation Rental Description

Enjoy 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 Amenities

Our 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 Attractions

A 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.
