The driveway to the main house circumvents the 30 stone steps up from Main Road, and you can park very close to the cottage for loading and unloading. The house is great, but what is outside your door is magical. Tyringham Valley is one of the most scenic towns in the Berkshires. You are only steps away from Ashintully Gardens with its blend of majestic manicured beauty and spectacular wild forested mountain side land. Hikes of McLennon Reservation available are accessible by foot from the house.
The cottage is near the Appalachian Trail, and the town swimming pond. We can suggest hikes, cycling routes, swimming holes, or walks and will share our many guide books and maps here.
