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 wood 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.

There is also a fully stocked kitchen with all new appliances (bought in 2024) and a dining room which seats 8 persons. The laundry room also has a new washer and dryer.

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 boating and swimming. And don't forget that we are only 2.5 hrs 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.

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

I came with four friends to go cycling in the Massachusetts and Vermont, and we had a wonderful time. The house had plenty of space and was a great home base for us. We would definitely do it again.

We had a very good time! We travelled with 6 children and 4 adults. We were very comfortable with the sleeping arrangements. The house was very clean and well supplied!!! It was close to many fun things to do.... Jiminy Peak, Ioka Valley Farm, and Mt. Greylock.

My extended family of nine stayed here 3 nights for a ski trip and will be staying here again when we go skiing at Jiminy Peak. This is one of the most comfortable "home away from home" we have ever stayed in. While we had perfect winter weather for skiing, it was inviting to return to a warm house after being outside all day. We had fun playing the games that were at the house and watching TV on the big flat screen TV. It is in the perfect location for skiing at Jiminy Peak, minutes from the mountain, yet off the main road. The owner is easy to contact and pleasant to work with. We had a great experience from arrival to departure and look forward to going back.

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!

What an excellent vacation! We had never been to the Berkshires and when we decided to make the trip it was a really tough choice sifting through all the available options. In the end we went with Debbie's place based on the positive feedback left by previous guests. We have NO regrets! The house is situated on a hill off of a medium-sized road right by US-7 in Lanesboro, MA. Luckily the property is quite large so you cannot hear or see the road from the house. There is a nice large yard in front of the house with plenty of room to run around and play (it seems designed for a nice relaxed game of touch football). There is a large asphalt area to park. In front of the house is a nice little porch that we didn't really use but was quite comfortable. When you enter the house itself it is extremely clean. The downstairs is mostly garage and furnace room although there is a large den with a computer and couch. The wood stove smelled extremely nice but not being acquainted with it we opted not to use it. On the second floor there are three large bedrooms; the house could easily sleep 10-12 people between the beds and couches. The kitchen is quite large and easy to use with all the appliances and utensils one would need. There is a lovely balcony right off the living room where we would sit on the cool evenings and watch the stars. In the back there is a fire pit (which we didn't use) and a large yard with hills (which can tire one out to walk/run!). Really the only thing that was lacking was a nice path to walk the whole property, as it is quite beautiful yet uncharted beyond the backyard. The house is in a great location. It is 10-15 minutes from Williamstown, not too far from Pittsfield, and 10 minutes from Mount Greylock. Being more interesting in hiking we didn't stop by Jiminy Peak but it was right down the road (about 2-3 minute drive). Overall we had a fantastic vacation. Being South Floridians we are seriously weighing the idea of returning in the fall/winter if Debbie will have us to get some elusive snow in our lives. A wonderful trip!

Great experience. Deborah was great to deal with. The house was everything it was described? Definitely go back again!

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

We had a terrific stay. The house was very clean and bright, with plenty of space for our five-person family. Beds very comfortable, kitchen well stocked. We would love to return!

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.

10/10

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.

The property was country enough to really give a good sense of privacy; it was also big, comfy, and warm! It served us well as a base of operations as we went out hiking during the day, and came back for a relaxing evening soaking in the big tub.
