Three bedrooms, two full baths plus a pine-paneled loft with additional sleep options. Kitchen opens onto a large, bright and cheerful great room with floor to ceiling local fieldstone fireplace and skylights. Soak up the ambience of a cozy wood fire in colder months. Walk from the house and property directly onto the 240-acre Mountain Meadow Preserve trails…this protected land surrounds the estate. Lush and private woodland setting. Swim or fish for catch and release brook trout and bluegill in the large stocked spring-fed pond. Relax with family and friends around the fire pit, pick wildflowers in the meadow, collect pictures of birds and wildlife, choose one of the many marked trails to explore, fish or troll the edge of the water with your net for pond life, and don’t forget you are still just five minutes from restaurants and shopping on Spring Street in Williamstown, and four minutes’ drive to the Williamstown access of the new Mohican Trail (mixed use trail: bike, walk, or run). Just thirteen minutes to MASS MoCA. A comfortable and warm home base for a ski weekend; it’s a scenic 16 mile/about 20 minute drive to Jiminy Peak (with no traffic until you reach the resort), and hour to Mount Snow. The trails surrounding the property are great for cross country skiers. This home was constructed for privacy, with the front door opening to forest. No windows are visible to the main house up the road and vice versa. King bed and ensuite bath in the master. Two bedrooms each with a full size bed. There is a twin bed and oversized sleeper chair in the loft. There is an additional foldout chair bed which can move easily to any bedroom. Sleeps 7-9. We now have 1Gps fiber optic high speed internet. We ask for no special check out instructions or requirements! If the dates you have chosen over a year in advance end up being the date of one of the rare local festivals or events, we may raise rates and give you the right of first refusal. (This is to prevent a guest from reserving all the possible weekends of a future event long before the actual date is announced.) We look forward to hosting you! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Handrails in stairways - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91570000/91564300/91564243/8976dd64.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SPACIOUS Mountain Retreat with HOT TUB, Fire Pit & Hiking Trails Pownal - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=91564243&PinnedHotelID=91564243&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112910000/112907100/112907040/59936f37_edited_32df.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Contemporary Berkshire Home with Views of Taconic Golf Course Williamstown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=112907040&PinnedHotelID=112907040&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/62000000/61480000/61478200/61478133/aac07fd7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Vermont Lodge |Hot Tub||Stream | Private | Wifi | SatTV, Beautiful Waterfront Vermont Retreat Bennington - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 8.6 Excellent 34 reviews CA $177 CA $427 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=61478133&PinnedHotelID=61478133&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102240000/102239600/102239573/9e71771d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Cottage in the Berkshires on 1.6 Acres Williamstown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=102239573&PinnedHotelID=102239573&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34400000/34392400/34392395/ceddecbb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vintage BARN Apartment-POOL-HotTub-FirePit-Hiking-Museums-Theater-Pets welcome!
