Great in Great Barrington
Located just outside of downtown GB, this property was perfect for me, my family, and some visiting friends. We really enjoyed the outdoor deck for bird watching, relaxing and grilling. The kitchen is well-stocked with good pans, pots and knives. The downstairs area with the wet bar and pool table were also fun. Note that this property is also a 5 min drive (take back roads to avoid traffic in town) to Lake Mansfield for great swimming. We intend to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Noriko and Dale

Host profile image
We bought this house as a vacation home in 2005. The same year that our twins were born.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a country get away that was close enough for a weekend away from our home. We wanted a place that was quiet, yet close enough to the town center. We also wanted a home that was driving distance to all of our favorite destinations such as Tanglewood, Lake Mansfield and Butternut ski resort.

What makes this property unique

We loved the fact that it had a three season porch that helped us experience the outdoors without actually being outdoors. We also loved the downstairs entertainment area and wet bar.
