Lenox Guest Cottage - 1-2 bedrooms in Lenox

Our cottage is a stand-alone building on our 2-acre property overlooking beautiful October Mountain, part of the Appalachian Trail.  The cottage is attached to an old horse barn, which still has two horse stalls and a tack room.  The location is close to downtown Lenox (about a 5 min drive) but is very quiet and private.

The cottage's porch leads to a large, open "great room" that feels very much like a ski lodge or cabin, with wide-plank wood floors and exposed beams.  The great room has a dining table with 4 chairs, a bar with 3 stools, a sofa, 2 chairs and TV/DVD player.  There is also a ceiling fan for air circulation and a skylight that can be open to allow air in and out (plus, it has an automatic shade, should you want to block the sun).  We also have an air conditioner available for this room, should you need it.

Down a set of stairs is the second entry way, off of which is the bathroom (shower only, no bathtub) and an open kitchen with a bar and two stools.  A gas heating unit sits just ouside the kitchen and can be used to heat the whole place, if necessary.  The kitchen was just renovated in 2009, with granite countertops, new cabinets and new appliances.  Down the hall are two rooms, one of which is a bedroom with a queen bed and closet.  We have a window air conditioner for this bedroom, though you are unlikely to need it.  The second room has no door, which is why we don't consider this a "true" 2-bedoroom cottage; this room currently houses a free-standing linen cabinet and a bureau.  This could be ideal for a crib, cot or air mattress for a baby or young child - someone who does not need privacy.  A brand new rug was installed in both bedrooms in the Summer of 2010.

In addition, we have a washer and dryer for your use.

We have one dedicated parking spot for the cottage, but the driveway is large and can accommodate additional cars as needed - please let us know if you would need more than one spot

We also provide cable and Internet access in the cottage.
