About this property

Romantic Berkshires Cottage - Stunning Views, Pool

This unique cottage--30' away from our home on a fenced, three-acre property--has its own entrance and its own parking space. The pool is shared with us, but you will have it to yourselves for most of the day--just ask for private time.

There are windows on three sides, a ceiling fan and a window fan.

The Berkshires in spring, summer and fall are alive with beauty, and we offer glorious views of the rolling hills and verdant meadows. Nature lovers, artists, writers and all who cherish tranquility will take particular delight in this unique spot.

You'll be on a secluded country lane, but only minutes from downtown Great Barrington with its restaurants, music, theater and shopping. It's an easy drive to all area attractions and great Appalachian Trail hikes. The area roads are also ideal for biking.

Bedroom/sitting room, kitchenette with toaster oven, electric kettle, toaster, microwave and full-size fridge, but no stove. Full bath with bathtub and shower. Non-smoking only. Check our rates for week-long specials.

We recently stayed at this lovely Berkshires cottage on Round Hill Road. The room was warm and cozy, with a nice kitchenette and a dining table. The views from the cottage were really beautiful, and we took several pictures. Since it was winter, we could not use the pool, but I imagine it would be even more lovely in summer when the pool would be open. I would definitely stay here again.

We spent a pleasant three days in the area. There were many choices for hikes and restaurants, and we enjoyed good music at the Egremont Bar. The apartment was true to its pictures; the bathroom was clean and spacious, and well stocked. Many thanks to Frederica for her hospitality.Julia

The studio, set into the hillside below the garage, has an expansive view over the pool area and fields and hills beyond. Very beautiful and peaceful. Frederica is very helpful and responsive, and the studio has everything one needs. We were happy we had chosen this place, and would return.

Great Barrington Getaway

A lovely, private cottage with a beautiful view of the countryside. Very comfortable and cozy. It's great having a kitchen for not needing to eat out for every meal. Great walks are waiting for you outside the door. And there's a beautiful pool as well.

Wonderful getaway!

Beautiful, quiet country retreat an easy drive from many cultural attractions! Large and airy, with ample room for two, it's an easy place to spend a week without feeling a bit cramped, with great views and a thoughtful host who provided many extras and was always available but respectful of privacy. Hope to return next year!

Absolutely gorgeous property. The views cannot be beat, especially from the pool. The space is cute and cozy, totally enough space for two. If you do nothing else on your trip, swing over to the Berkshire Mountain Bakery for a pizza and some ciabatta.

You Won't be Disappointed

From the bottle of wine and ginger snaps upon arrival to the use of poles and snowshoes, Frederica and Efram were the consummate hosts. Their studio was private, quiet, and well appointed with everything that we needed (including dog bowls for our four-legged friends!). We had a lovely time in the Berkshires, thanks in large part to their hospitality. You won't be disappointed.

Gorgeous views & walks

The cottage is just perfect for a stay near Great Barrington. The windows have breathtaking views of farmland and Berkshires. Frederica is just a fantastic host: helpful and available, but not at all pushy. GB has some of the best food in the Northeast and hiking and walking and running--directly from the cottage and nearby--is stunning. This was my second visit and I look forward to returning!

Best Berkshires Getaway By Far!

Our hosts were wonderful and thoughtful. The cottage was a perfect summer getaway and retreat for me, my husband, and our 4 year old. The pool was a huge hit with the little one and us. We made sure we took a daily dip. My toddler was ecstatic about the Hello Kitty toy waiting for her! The stay was perfect and our hosts met all of our needs. Can’t wait to return!

Suddenly Summer in the Berkshires

My husband and I, and our two dogs passed a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend in Frederica's cottage. The weather was incredible and we enjoyed the fresh breezes blowing up from the valley below. Morning walks were magical along the quiet road, with heifers and calves in one field and sheep and their guard dog in another. If you are a hiker, there are more trails of all levels than you could possibly do in a short stay (you just have to go back!). Food in the nearby towns was fantastic, and easy to get to. Frederica and Ephram are awesome hosts, and keep both the house and the gardens well tended. It's a really beautiful place to stay.
