Minutes from Ski Butternut, Tanglewood, and Downtown Great Barrington This charming former tavern and stage coach inn makes the perfect four season getaway. You'll feel like you've taken over your own private New England B&B. Enjoy everything the Berkshires has to offer from the shops and restaurants in Great Barrington, music and cultural events of Tanglewood to the north and great skiing at Butternut ski resort which is within walking distance of the house.Known locally as the Turning Point Inn, the main part of the house was built in 1850 and has a long history as a stage coach inn, local tavern and more recently a bed and breakfast. The layout is perfect for family gatherings when you want to be able to stay together but have your own private rooms to retreat to at night. It is conveniently located near many hiking trails (notably the Appalachian trail crosses nearby), waterfalls, swimming holes, parks, music festivals in the summer, and of course Butternut Ski resort just down the main road. Enjoy the great outdoors , downtown Great Barrington, or just a quiet night with good friends and family around the stove in a cozy dining room.This beautiful historic house features 7 fully furnished bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, 3 of which are ensuite. Each bedroom has it's own separate key and locking doors for added privacy. The main common spaces are spacious yet cozy, each possessing it's own unique charm. There is a family room with a wood burning stove and television with Chromcast and DVD player with a wide selection of DVDs. The sitting room has a working fireplace and maintains much of it's original character and decoration. The dinning room is cozy yet can comfortably accommodate 15 people with plenty of space to spare. As a former Bed and Breakfast the house is equipped with a commercial kitchen that includes a Viking stove and oven, coffee maker, toaster, water heater, microwave, dishwasher, large restaurant grade sink and professional cookware. We stock all the plates, bowls, cups and flatware you will need to entertain large groups. There is also a laundry room with a full size washer dryer.During the summer months the main floor remains cool during the day with the stone and wood floors tempered by the cool evenings and mountain breezes. In the winter you can use the wood burning stove in the family room and the gas stove in the dining room. The fireplace in the sitting room is unfortunately under maintenance and not available for use at this time. The bedrooms on the second floor have their own air conditioners and individual smart heating controls to accommodate everyone's temperature preference. The house itself is nestled on 1 wooded acre with a large lawn. There is an outdoor picnic table where you can enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or your morning coffee. Please note that this is an old house built in the early 19th century. Things are worn and there are many imperfections. If you are looking for a brand new renovated experience, this may not be the house for you, but if you are looking for a clean large space with plenty of private bedrooms and bathrooms suitable for a large group of people and having a fun time then this is the place for you.We really fell in love with this house the moment we saw it and we know you will too. We look forward to hosting and sharing this special place with you!
