About this house rental
Nestled in Great Barrington, this attractive house for R 9,240 per night is a great choice for your next break. Extraordinary privacy and convenience just a 10-minute walk to Main Street. You don't have to choose between privacy and convenience when staying at this grand 1863 home - it offers the best of both! This 5 bedroom, 2 bath single-family home was the Sunset View Inn in the early 1900's. With all new electrical wiring in 2017, it rests proudly on 3 acres at the end of a dead-end street. At this house you can spread out, sleep in, and enjoy a game of croquet or badminton on the lawn. Use the WiFi and flat-screen TV to stay connected, or turn devices off and tune into the birds singing and the wind rustling the trees instead. It will feel so far away, yet it's so close. The woods behind are part of East Mountain and the land to the front is wooded park land. Many of the Berkshires' best attractions are within a 15-20 minute drive including Tanglewood, Norman Rockwell Museum, Shakespeare and Company, Berkshire Theater, and Chesterwood. Several hiking and skiing locations are also very convenient with Monument Mountain and Ski Butternut just 5 minutes away. Enjoy sunsets on the fully screened front porch. Pack up the picnic items provided and enjoy a concert at Tanglewood. Take these same items along with our beach towels to enjoy a swim at Lake Mansfield – just five minutes away! You can choose to stay in and cook using our fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill, or you can dine at one of the many fabulous restaurants in town. When done, you can enjoy varied entertainment downtown – whether you walk or drive is up to you!

We were a group of two families- with a total of 4 adults and 5 kids. We enjoyed our stay, local playground and hikes were great for the kids. Diner in GB also family friendly. The house is a quirky antique- had plenty of small bedrooms and was full of fun family games. It well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc.

“Our” house was on a dead end street on top of a hill with lots of sunshine and lovely views. It was roomy, comfortable and had all the amenities one could ever need (including a giant washer/dryer). The owner had thought of everything and she was extremely easy and kind. A deer came right up to the kitchen window and pressed her nose against the glass -great fun!

Wonderful Weekend at a Wonderful Property!
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this charming house! House was a great size for our family! It was super clean with very comfortable beds. The house was set back with a beautiful private yard with lots of wildlife we enjoyed watching from the lovely screened porch, but it was also super close to downtown Great Barrington. Amy was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

We loved our stay in the old-fashioned ambiance of this turn of the century house perched on a hill, surrounded by woods—a very well-organized house with all the comforts of home!

Stayed at the property for 3 nights over MLK weekend. We had a great time. The house feels like it’s in the countryside but it’s just a couple of mins drive to GB and super easy access to Butternut. The house itself is very old and needs some serious updating, however, everything was clean and Amy was very responsive over text and allowed us to have a very early checkin.

We stayed at the house for New Years. The property was exactly as described. The house was very clean and very well stocked with supplies. The location was perfect. I would definitely recommend it!

The house was as near to perfect as we could find. Plenty of room, very well-equipped, comfortable beds and furniture, warm and charming. We cooked huge meals every day, and we were very pleased with the quality of the pots and pans, and the collection of utensils. Plenty of nice dishes and cutlery, even tablecloths and cloth napkins to set a Christmas table for six adults, a teen, and a tween, plus a high chair for the little one. The location of the house is ideal. Long walks and runs in the neighborhood, and only a 10 minute walk to the center of town. We were all delighted. Amy had everything covered. A bit of snow the day before Christmas was the perfect touch. Happy New Year. Five big stars. We'll be back.

Amy’s house was perfect - it was spacious yet cozy and was outfitted with anything you might need. I’ve never felt quite as at home at a rental house. Truly a special find!

We love coming and staying at Amy's home. This was our third year back. The house is big enough for all of us, and it's always pristine when we arrive. And we love that it's so close to town. Thank you so much, Amy!

Large, well equipped house. The kitchen had all the tools we needed. There were at least three sets of dishes. Comfortable living room, dining room & eat in kitchen. Lovely screened porch. We used 4 of the 5 bedrooms—each very comfortable & spacious. The house was exceptionally clean. Located close to town and near all the area’s cultural & shopping areas. Looking forward to returning next summer.

We did not need to use much of what was offered at this property but it seems wonderful for a family especially if staying a week or so. We had too much exploring to do but the location is perfect for being in GB and exploring the Berkshires. Owner had great communication. For the price, I don't think this property can be beat.

Character abounds in this beautiful, well maintained “mature” home in a quiet neighborhood, yet so convenient to many beautiful sights. Mornings were spent with a cup of home brewed coffee in a very nice, clean machine, on the porch watching the fox cubs frolicking across the driveway in the field. Grocery store close by as well as a good variety of quality restaurants. Home is well stocked with essentials. (loved the unbleached coffee filters too!) Showers are great and beds comfortable. Owner very responsive to questions and pleasant to work with. Would definitely stay again when visiting the area.

We had a terrific stay at this wonderful home. Amy is an extremely responsive host and so easy to work with - she offered us early check-in even though we never asked for this and was flexible on the check-out time too. The house is exactly as picture and described - 5 well appointed bedrooms, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and an extremely well stocked kitchen. We used the kitchen to make breakfast and dinners and had everything that we needed including a gas grill right outside the kitchen door. The house is within easy walking distance to town but it also feels like it is out in the country - we took a great hike from the backyard! This was a perfect spot to kick back with friends. We would definitely stay here again.
