About this house rental

Situated in Berkshires, this lovely house for $470 per night is a great option for your next trip. This rambling farmhouse has a balanced mix of meticulous restoration with an eccentric flair. Undermountain Farm is a home carefully designed with warmth and spirit. It also has a unique collection of fascinating antiques and collectibles. Enjoy cooking in the state-of-the-art kitchen, your only dilemma being where to eat. You can choose the solarium, surrounded by exotic plants and the sun streaming through the glass, or the patio, where you might hear the roar of the waterfall which tumbles down the mountain behind the house after a rainfall. Or you could try the formal dining room which still has the original Dutch oven from the 18th century. The veranda is a good choice for afternoon tea and a view of the Highland Cattle in the meadows. Yet another option is the informal breakfast/farm table on the stone floor near the entrance to the house. Lastly, there are the two stool chairs at the eat-in kitchen counter with a view of the luminous kitchen delicately accented with orchids. The hand-crafted cabinetry in the kitchen was all made from one maple tree from the property. We recently had a large dinner party for forty people in the breakfast sitting room after we removed the couch and chairs. Tis was the very max I would like to say. With all the downstairs rooms we were able to have hors d'oeuvres in the dinning room, a bar in the green house, and dancing, complete with a disco ball, in the stable. Suffice it to say, this farmhouse has many rooms to enjoy. If you like a large space, then the former stables might suit you with its high vaulted ceilings and original beams it boasts a magnificent stone fireplace and huge windows that offer a pastoral view of the surrounding meadows. If you prefer a cosy room, then the den is ideal with its antique wood paneling and big comfy leather chairs. Its soothing, ambient feeling will make you want to curl up with a good book in front of the wood stove and forget about the outside world. The formal living or 'sitting' room has views of the big willow tree and a telescope to view the night sky. The informal living area adjoining the kitchen is an easy and friendly gathering place. Our home has three fireplaces and two wood stoves to keep you warm, and there’s also a fire cauldron and grill on the back stone patio. If you’re staying with friends, you will have to draw straws for the huge master bedroom where the rising sun illuminates the artfully plastered walls creating a deep, orange, radiant light in the morning. Besides the beautiful tinted plaster, the added bonus in the master bathroom is the shower and its floor of river stones, and the jacuzzi where you can gaze over the meadows to the grazing Highland Cows. Those who drew the shorter straws will be happy in the other three bedrooms which have lovely outlooks over the Berkshire Hills and offer a quiet respite for a restful sleep; including the soothing sounds of a seasonal babbling brook. Two of these rooms are also upstairs and share a full bath. The last is on the main floor and is directly next to the downstairs full bath. All beds are Queen size except the downstairs which is an antique frame and special mattress bigger than a Double, but just shy of a Queen. In addition, both convertible sofas are Queen size. We have three single couches which can be utilized. Walking, hiking, and cross country skiing abound and can start right from the back door. As Nature Conservancy land abuts the house there are no visible neighbors, and so lots of privacy. Up at the top of the ridge next to Bear Rock Falls is the Appalachian Trail - just behind the house! A unique House, all hand-plastered, with a long history, old foundations on the property, a midden. A simple, and calming stay, gentle Highland Cows and Belted Galloways included...

Beautifully renovated old farmhouse in Sheffield, MA. Very well cared for, very clean and very comfortable. We were a party of 8 adults, one child, plus two dogs. Great kitchen for cooking. Plenty of space and rooms to get away from the crowd to find some peace and quiet. It is a large property but does not feel that way. Just lovely. We arrived on a very cold day, and Robin, the owner, had fired up the wood stove to welcome us. Robin is very responsive but laid back at the same time. In other words, the perfect host. Cannot wait to go back!

A large, rambling farmhouse with many things in it. The kitchen was well-appointed. There were not so many comfortable places to sit either indoors or outdoors. The owner was very responsive. The beds could use updating. Very bucolic!

My extended family very much enjoyed our month at the farmhouse. The environs are beautiful, the farmhouse itself is well appointed and comfortable - and it and can comfortably sleep a very large number of guests. Robin was an attentive and engaging host who gave us quite a bit of local insider information which made our stay more enjoyable (for example we had a 2 1/2 year old and robin arranged for us to get a pass to local lake beach - which was a life saver on the days it was hot). In summary we throughly enjoyed our stay at the farmhouse and very much enjoyed the hospitality of the berkshires.

The photos don’t do this place justice. There is plenty of space to spread out, both inside and out. Numerous comfortable rooms to hang out in alone or with others. We attended a family reunion 5 minutes away for 3 days and Robin’s place was so wonderful to come back to and decompress or simply visit in a quieter atmosphere. Because it is obviously lived in there is nothing sterile about it and one is easily able to relax. Every thing was clean, beds comfortable, each bedroom had good privacy. Would stay again without hesitation, in fact, would look for an excuse to do so. Thank you so much Robin!
