About this property
A roomy remodeled retreat close to MassMoCA
Large Victorian house within walking distance to MassMOCA and downtown North Adams. Sleeps eight comfortably with two bathrooms and laundry facilities on-site. Fully stocked cooks' kitchen and large grassy yard with parking for 5-7 tandem. Several outdoor spaces for relaxing in this beautiful Berkshires setting.
The House - Decorated in an industrial Victorian style befitting the location, the Zoo features three formal bedrooms, a private sleeping library and two bathrooms. A screened three season porch and two additional outdoor porches allow for enjoyment of the yard and local creatures.
Perfect for family reunions, group getaways and smaller retreats, the house is setup for small groups with plenty of dining chairs and extra tables for holiday dinners.
The Neighborhood - The Neighborhood is a short walk to MassMoCA and downtown. Like much of North Adams, the neighborhood is mix of long-term residents, new neighbors and is characterized by varying socioeconomic classes. We consider it safe and in transition and expect guests to be quiet and respectful as well.
North Adams is close to great local ski areas and is ten minutes from both Vermont and New York state. The Appalachian Trial runs through town and the surrounding area is filled with natural beauty and sights.
Cleaning is provided; however, you are expected to follow the check-out instructions prior to your departure. Failure to comply may lead to additional cleaning charges. Because the house is so large, it may take up to four hours to clean after full occupancy. For couples, cleaning is usually more straightforward. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to scale the cleaning fee for the guest party size; for now one size fits all.
