About this property

Family Home With Big Yard On The Hill, Short Walk To Downtown And Lake Mansfield

Spread out in this spacious family home. The first floor has an easy flow from room to room and includes a sunny eat-in-kitchen with sit-down table and breakfast bar where family and friends have plenty of room to gather while meals are being prepared, a living room with TV/DVD player and basic cable, a dining room that seats 8+ and has a piano, and a family room with a cozy wrap-around couch. There is a half bathroom on the first floor. Enter the first floor through a large mud room with washer and dryer from the back side of the house or the comfortable front porch where you can grill on the gas grill and eat outdoors on the outdoor table that seats 8. From the dining room you can head up the stairs to the four bedrooms which share a full bathroom with a double sink. Two bedrooms have king beds, one bedroom has three twin beds and one has one twin bed. Each bedroom has three large windows to let in the sun and provides views of the lovely Castle Hill neighborhood. Several windows offer mountain views over the neighbors' roof tops. The house features large front, side and back yards for an in town property - great for relaxing in the lawn furniture or playing outdoors. The large paved driveway provides plenty of parking or a great place for kids to bounce a ball or ride bikes. Excellent high speed Internet available through WiFI. Window AC for bedrooms. Both bathrooms have been recently updated.

This location is one of the best in the southern Berkshires for a summer rental - just a few blocks from down town or Lake Mansfield and convenient drive to Stockbridge, Tanglewood, the Norman Rockwell Museum and other area attractions.

Awesome stay
The property owner, Jess, was great to work with. She was quick to respond to my questions and was very accommodating to them. Her home is very spacious and was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay and is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Thanks for providing us with an awesome stay!!! Bob

An older home with all the amenities we needed. Comfortable beds. A fun location for kids as there is a very organized “wall of toys”. A great neighborhood and close to downtown Great Barrington and Lake Mansfield for walks and swimming. I had one question about the internet and the owner got back to me immediately.

Amazing stay in Great Barrington!
Jessica's house is wonderful! It's spacious and very well-designed. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect for us -- a short walk to the lake and Main Street. It felt like a home away from home. We look forward to coming back next summer! I should also mention that Jessica was very quick to respond to any questions we had and a pleasure to communicate with.
