Renting for 31+ days; Competitive pricing, Cozy, Scenic, Quiet, area. We want renters to be comfortable, so we have been particularly careful during the pandemic regarding cleaning and by placing limitations on large gatherings and parties. We hope you understand.This Cozy rustic Berkshire Home offers lots of charm with modern amenities for a wonderful stay in the Berkshire Mountains. Summer: We are centrally located less than two miles from Tanglewood and a mile and a half from Kripalu. The house is a stone's throw from the Stockbridge bowl. Fishing in season, many walking and climbing trails, and lake swimming at the nearby Stockbridge Town beach. The Lake is private for residents and as renters you will get beach passes. Most seasons, you can hear and see a beautiful waterfall that pours on its way down the mountain from the nearby outlet for the Stockbridge Bowl. Beautifully sited opposite the waterfall, this charming loft-style, wood home has been described as a 'treehouse for adults'. In the winter there is skiing at Butternut in Great Barrington or cross-country skiing on the many available trails in the surrounding area. Hiking and climbing are also constant adventures at Monument Mountain and Greylock for more challenging hiking/climbing. Winter is a wonderland on the property, especially when the waterfall from the lake freezes - quite a sight. With an open airy design, the first floor is one space, complete with small galley kitchen with modern equipment for all you will need to cook delicious meals. There is a dining area that seats four, a living room, half bath and French doors which open to a porch and outdoor hot tub.( Please note that for long term rentals we leave the hot tub running all winter but from Jan.- March because of the often freezing temperatures, on occasion the heating mechanisms have shut down. Repairs depend on servicing possibilities during freezing weather.) The porch overlooks a sprawling backyard with uninterrupted views which include the waterfall that spills off the outlet to the Bowl.In the living room there are three steps that lead to two window-seats placed underneath a skylight. The stairs continue to the second floor which has a small cozy enclosed bedroom with a full size bed, adjacent to the bedroom is a full bath, and a large airy study with a full size futon couch.. More stairs lead to the master bedroom which has a queen bed. This top floor "eagle's nest" master bedroom is well lit with several windows and a small porch. It is part of the loft style open-air design but private nonetheless. This is a true artist's dream.Midway between Stockbridge and Lenox - all the cultural and recreational attractions of the Berkshires are nearby (Tanglewood, Norman Rockwell Museum, Jacob's Pillow, Chesterwood, Berkshire Theatre Festival) as are golf, tennis, horseback riding, boating, swimming, skiing - cross-country and downhill, and hiking in the state forests. In warmer weather you can Canoe or Kayak (and swim) in the nearby lake (equipment not included) or do a short ride with kayak or canoe in tow, to other nearby lakes. There is a public boat slip a quarter mile away and Kayac and bike rentals. Wintertime recreation includes skiing at Butternut Basin, Bousquet, Catamount and Jiminy Peak as well as snow shoeing, cross country skiing and ice skating. To make your stay more enjoyable the kitchen is stocked with teas, condiments and all the oils and vinegars you'll need for delicious salads from farm fresh markets. The lower cabinets in the kitchen and the supply closet in the downstairs half bath are stocked with paper goods (paper towels, toilet tissue) and cleaning supplies should you need them. Help yourself!The house has central air conditioning and heating. The A/C amply cools the first two floors and ceiling fans cool the third floor. We have high speed internet, cable TV and a high quality radio. There is a CD players and about 60 CDs with a variety of music though a leaning toward classical.You'll find new ceramic dishes, bowels and cups and more than adequate wine and beverage glasses. Please take a look at the video on this site for a look at the ravine that is formed by the waterfall. It wraps around one side of the property and offers a relaxing view. Lawn chairs are available on the property to give you the convenience of sitting near this overlook or in the shade of a nearby tree. If you want a short beautiful walk without driving to one of the beautiful hiking areas enjoy the 2 mile (round trip) walk around our community on a back road that only services the lake houses. Enjoy!!!Keywords: House
