About this property

Extraordinary privacy and convenience just a 10-minute walk to Main Street.

You don't have to choose between privacy and convenience when staying at this grand 1863 home - it offers the best of both! This 5 bedroom, 2 bath single-family home was the Sunset View Inn in the early 1900's. With all new electrical wiring in 2017, it rests proudly on 3 acres at the end of a dead-end street. At this house you can spread out, sleep in, and enjoy a game of croquet or badminton on the lawn. Use the WiFi and flat-screen TV to stay connected, or turn devices off and tune into the birds singing and the wind rustling the trees instead. It will feel so far away, yet it's so close. The woods behind are part of East Mountain and the land to the front is wooded park land. Many of the Berkshires' best attractions are within a 15-20 minute drive including Tanglewood, Norman Rockwell Museum, Shakespeare and Company, Berkshire Theater, and Chesterwood. Several hiking and skiing locations are also very convenient with Monument Mountain and Ski Butternut just 5 minutes away. Enjoy sunsets on the fully screened front porch. Pack up the picnic items provided and enjoy a concert at Tanglewood. Take these same items along with our beach towels to enjoy a swim at Lake Mansfield – just five minutes away! You can choose to stay in and cook using our fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill, or you can dine at one of the many fabulous restaurants in town. When done, you can enjoy varied entertainment downtown – whether you walk or drive is up to you!

Great house at a great location

We chose this house for our weekend ski getaway as it could fit our entire group comfortably (4 adults and 4 kids), was close to Butternut (5 minutes), and looked great in the pictures. It exceeded our expectations and we are already planning a return visit!

antique home near downtown GB

We were a group of two families- with a total of 4 adults and 5 kids. We enjoyed our stay, local playground and hikes were great for the kids. Diner in GB also family friendly. The house is a quirky antique- had plenty of small bedrooms and was full of fun family games. It well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc.

The Perfect Vacation

“Our” house was on a dead end street on top of a hill with lots of sunshine and lovely views. It was roomy, comfortable and had all the amenities one could ever need (including a giant washer/dryer). The owner had thought of everything and she was extremely easy and kind. A deer came right up to the kitchen window and pressed her nose against the glass -great fun!

Wonderful Weekend at a Wonderful Property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this charming house! House was a great size for our family! It was super clean with very comfortable beds. The house was set back with a beautiful private yard with lots of wildlife we enjoyed watching from the lovely screened porch, but it was also super close to downtown Great Barrington. Amy was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

MLK weekend with skiing at Butternut

Stayed at the property for 3 nights over MLK weekend. We had a great time. The house feels like it’s in the countryside but it’s just a couple of mins drive to GB and super easy access to Butternut. The house itself is very old and needs some serious updating, however, everything was clean and Amy was very responsive over text and allowed us to have a very early checkin.

A Wonderful Family Christmas in Great Barrington

The house was as near to perfect as we could find. Plenty of room, very well-equipped, comfortable beds and furniture, warm and charming. We cooked huge meals every day, and we were very pleased with the quality of the pots and pans, and the collection of utensils. Plenty of nice dishes and cutlery, even tablecloths and cloth napkins to set a Christmas table for six adults, a teen, and a tween, plus a high chair for the little one. The location of the house is ideal. Long walks and runs in the neighborhood, and only a 10 minute walk to the center of town. We were all delighted. Amy had everything covered. A bit of snow the day before Christmas was the perfect touch. Happy New Year. Five big stars. We'll be back.

Very comfortable

Large, well equipped house. The kitchen had all the tools we needed. There were at least three sets of dishes. Comfortable living room, dining room & eat in kitchen. Lovely screened porch. We used 4 of the 5 bedrooms—each very comfortable & spacious. The house was exceptionally clean. Located close to town and near all the area’s cultural & shopping areas. Looking forward to returning next summer.

Great value

We did not need to use much of what was offered at this property but it seems wonderful for a family especially if staying a week or so. We had too much exploring to do but the location is perfect for being in GB and exploring the Berkshires. Owner had great communication. For the price, I don't think this property can be beat.
