With over 2200 square feet, this new country home has plenty of space for everyone yet a very cozy feel. Each one of the 3 large bedrooms has walk-in closets and beautiful new furnishings. The master suite has a king size bed and matching furniture with a 50” Samsung LCD HDTV. The attached master bathroom has a huge Jacuzzi tub for two. Step out onto the balcony from the living room for a magnificent open view of the mountains. Enjoy a movie on your 65” Samsung smart HDTV while enjoying the heat from the wood-burning stove. The enclosed basement can be used as a playroom or den with a bar and bar stools, an office with a desk and new HP printer, or as a closed-off 4th bedroom with a couch that opens up into a queen sized bed. Another Samsung 50” Smart TV is there. Explore the 16 acres of trails on the property and hike your way to the golf course in the back. If you have kids, there are swings and slides on the property for their enjoyment. There's also an attached 2 car garage so that you can come directly into the warm house after a long day of skiing.

And don't forget that just 2 miles down the road is Jiminy Peak - offering skiing and snowboarding day and night in the winter and mountain coaster and rides in summer. We are located about 25 minutes from Tanglewood. Or drive ten minutes down the road to the Clark Museum in Williamstown and enjoy some Monet and Renoir. Or fifteen minutes down the other direction to the city of Pittsfield for some wonderful restaurants and shops- as well as a beautiful lake for swimming. And don't forget that we are only 2 hours and 40 minutes from NYC.

Due to Homeaway/VRBO changes with booking process, I am not given your phone number or email address until booking is confirmed. Therefore, if you book through this site, it is only tentative until I communicate with you directly to be sure our property is a good fit for your needs and have accepted your booking by sending you a rental agreement, which must be returned within 12 hours. In the event our home is not a good fit for you, Homeaway should promptly refund the deposit and any other fees. I am sorry for this convoluted process. I do not like it at all, but Homeaway/VRBO is forcing us to do it this way. I hope that won't deter you from renting from us. We intend for you to have an experience you will want to repeat!

House is disinfected and sanitized after every guest by housekeeper who wears mask and gloves. No Contact check-in and check-out.

Great to work with

Deborah was very accommodating when we had to change our dates due to a vacation sadly turning into losing my dad. She was very understanding and sympathetic to my situation and helped to make a very sad experience less stressful. Under the circumstances we did not spend a lot of time at the house but the location was great and there was plenty of space for all of us. there was plenty of space for all of is of us

Family friendly & great location

We highly recommend this house. The accommodations and the many amenities helped make our family’s stay comfortable and enjoyable. The house is centrally located between Pittsfield, MA and Williamstown, MA. This made it convenient for our family to attend our daughter’s commencement activities at Williams College, plus expanded our choices in shopping & restaurants. Also, the host was very responsive to our questions prior to our arrival. Thanks for your hospitality Debbie :-) The ONLY recommendation for improvement would be to better post the address sign on the driveway’s entrance to the property. The sign was propped up on the ground which makes it difficult to see, especially at night.

Winter wonderland

The house was well-equipped -- we all especially loved the flannel sheets and warm comforters on the beds. Owner made sure the steep driveway was plowed when we got several inches of snow. I wouldn't recommend visiting in winter unless you have all-wheel drive (one member of our party couldn't get up the hill).

Nice, hard to find, unfair rules

We booked at last minute and didn't have a chance to read the full agreement apparently we're expected to keep the place spotless and to do the laundry when we leave given the extremely high price and the large service fee and cleaning fee I thought that was completely ridiculous and the owner's email to me was very rude. It's also really hard to find the place and GPS brings you to a different location so if you plan to go to this house don't do it at night. That being said it is a wonderful property and an amazing location but be prepared to clean. I did mistakenly take the clicker with me so I understand the owner was annoyed with me but her tone was rude rude and I didn't like it. We all make mistakes and I didn't deserve to talk to that way.

Nice relaxing stay

We were looking for a nice quiet getaway so this trip really hit the spot. It was a nice cozy property with lots of land, a couple nice porches to relax on (when the weather cooperated) and amenities to be comfortable. The closest thing is Jiminy resort which had a nice country store but it is more like 15 minutes away from shops/restaurants in Williamstown or Pittsfield.

Wow! Lovely home

The photos don’t do this home justice. While I was put off a bit by the lack of wall art the furnishings and wall coloring made up for it Deborah was quite responsive with questions. Things I loved. 1. Garage and the remote. We took the opener with us and that was how we entered all the time. It is a 2 car garage so plenty of room for our car 2. Downstairs area to leave coats and shoes 3. Space space space - often rental lack space for groceries and so on but there was plenty. 4. Helpful kitchen essentials like oil a s spices 5. Huge doors to lookout right ans left from the dining room table 6. Locations to fun things ans surrounded by trees 7. We did a 1/2 mile hike on their property 8. Enjoyed using the jacuzzi tub 9. Plenty of dishes and so loved having my tea in a proper cup ans saucer 10 even had some k-cups!! 11. Super comfy bed 12 great for family’s. So spacious. 13. Comfy couch 14. Lots of helpful signs to remind and direct. I appreciate that. Really worth the stay although for summer usage I only do dental AC. Window units wouldn’t work for me. Renter info. 1. The door that opens near the stove may hit the glass door. I worried it might break the glass but I didn’t. 2. I had trouble opening the blinds all the way in the front room and didn’t want to break it so left it closed. One blind fell and I was worried it was my fault. I won’t buy these types of blinds. 3. Not fond of putting sheets in wash. I don’t even do this in my home. I would so rather pay and not bother. Many rentals do this. Sigh. 4. My husband who never read the reviews and is not a complainer sat at the dining room table and said the table was high. I noticed the leather chairs and used those and sat up higher It is a super nice table though!! 5. They need something to allow the sliding doors in the dining room to open. 6. Kitchen stove is gas but uses electric to ignite and is unplugged. I had initial issue with lighting stove then plugged it in and still was slow to light. Mini panics. I was fine. 7. The bake on the oven must be pushed just so to turn on. 8. I didn’t have the right thumb strength to return the lock box but my husband was fine 9. Tv is quite far from the loveseat. But it is a big tv

Cozy home - PERFECT location!

Debbie’s home was wonderful. We took our kids skiing for the first time at Jiminy Peak which was 3 minutes down the road. After our day of skiing, we returned back to Debbie’s home for cocoa and movies. Her home is clean, comfortable, and cozy. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Amazing Location & Great Spot!

We loved our stay here. The location is PERFECT for a Jimminy Peak skiing, a great family mountain. The house had clearly been cleaned and sanitized well prior to our arrival, and had all kitchen supplies needed for us to cook meals (we have two littles so we cook a lot). The property is really nice and private, and I imagine quite beautiful in the summer months as it is in the winter. The beds were comfortable and great after a long day of skiing! Host was really communicative and helpful. We will definitely be back for skiing and would love to check out this spot in the summer, too! Highly recommend this property.

It was a nice size, very clean, and great for kids with a nice big yard to play in and a swing set. It was also the first that supplied a height chair to accommodate our 20 month old! A nice secluded area to get out and be away from the everyday.

Great spot to get away and relax

My wife, myself, two teenagers and dogs stayed here for 4 nights this August. It was a great getaway. If you want to do nothing you can do nothing. We were minutes from the base of Jiminy Peak and were able to get most of our easy shopping done at the country store at the mountain. The house is about ten minutes from a lake we rented a pontoon on and the rest of the time we sat on the deck and watched the kids and dogs run around and throw balls on the expansive property. We were able to cook all of our meals in the well equipped and stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay here again and from what we saw and felt, we can stay here in any of the 4 seasons. Great time and great needed recharge!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Goldman

Host profile image
An avid hiker and biker, I love the outdoors. I've also been involved in the real estate market for about 20 years in New York City. I'm a single mom and a businesswoman.

Why they chose this property

I've always loved the Berkshires. Great hiking, biking, skiing....the people are so friendly in this area. When I saw this property, I fell in love with the large bedrooms and walk-in closets. I couldn't believe the size compared to all the other houses I had seen. And the views were amazing...! It's only a short distance from Jiminy Peak, where my daughter takes ski lessons from locals who grew up in the mountains and a short distance from all the culture and activities...Come enjoy my home!

What makes this property unique

The house is very large and comfortable- as indicated by prior renters. We are so close to everything in the Berkshires- Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Company, Jiminy Peak, Williamstown museums, Mount Greylock for hiking, Lakes for boating and fishing....A great place to come and relax and enjoy everything that the Berkshires has to offer.
