About this property

Mounatin Getaway in the Heart of the Berkshires!

Welcome to the Lynne Court Guesthouse in the heart of the Berkshires!

We are happy to share our gorgeous, nature-surrounded home with you! Your hosts are Rick and his daughter, Deena. For the most part, Deena will be the person you will interact with during your stay. Check out and check in as you please with our easy key-drop system.

We offer a spacious, light-filled and attractive rental. Your stay will also be close to SO many fun activities and attractions in the beautiful Berkshires!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Our big yellow house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet Lanesborough neighborhood. Surrounded by farmer's fields and open land, our home provides stunning views of the Berkshire mountains. The best part of our rental is its LOCATION--centrally located in the beautiful Berkshires, we're close to so many options for cultural attractions and fun activities.

Our large driveway off of Lynne Court can accommodate multiple cars making this a great rental option for groups, multiple couples traveling together, or travelers with things in tow like a snowmobile trailer, boat, bike rack, etc.

The rental bedroom is on the ground floor of our house. You'll have your own key to enter and exit through the side door off of the driveway. You can pick up your key using a code if we're not home when you arrive, and you can drop the key off in our convenient key-drop box when you're ready to check out. Easy! Come and go as you please :)

Your bedroom has lots of windows for beautiful morning light and views of the mountains. The bedroom is big, yet cozy, with a private bathroom with brass accents and stand-up shower stall. We provide a microwave and coffee maker, coffee, tea, and some cooking utensils to make breakfast or quick meals in your room convenient. Text Deena if there is anything you need to make your stay more comfortable!

On the second floor you'll have access to our game room! The windows overlook our three-acre yard with mountain views. Shoot some pool, watch TV on the big screen, or play some air hockey. You're welcome to invite a group of friends as long as the party isn't too wild!! ;) Hand-paneled wooden floors and east-facing windows make it a beautiful open space for morning yoga, too.

If you enjoy working out, you're welcome to use our home gym on the first floor of the house which has a step-machine, treadmill, stationary bike, and various dumbbells/weights.

In the warmer months, you'll have access to our backyard and backyard deck, which has a table for six, grill, and umbrella, as well as an herb garden where you can pick fresh mint, lavender, or strawberries just beyond the poolhouse. The view is pretty amazing no matter the time of year!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We want our guests to feel as if they have hosts if they need them, but we will generally let you do your own thing and have privacy.

Rick will be home evenings Monday through Friday, and most weekends, while Deena is home on a more varied schedule. Our living spaces are on the other end of the house, separate from the rental room. However, we do share the game room upstairs with you. Deena will be available on her cell phone via text or call if you have any needs, questions, or requests! We are Berkshire natives and more than happy to help with directions and suggestions for restaurants and things to do, so please just ask. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Berkshires are known for being a location with a winning combination of breathtaking nature and outdoor experiences as well as world-class art and culture. Our rental gives you the perfect landing pad for exploring all the area has to offer!

Lynne Court is a quiet residential street in the small rural Berkshire town of Lanesborough. To imagine our neighborhood, picture rolling green hills, a small historic stone church up the street built in 1816, a nearby organic farmstand, strawberry fields, a babbling stream behind the house at the bottom of the hill, and spacious green fields around the entire rental.

Our house is quiet and surrounded by nature. We often hear owls at night and see turkeys and hawks during the day. We also have chickens in a coop alongside our garage who you can say hello to!

Wonderful, relaxing weekend away from the hustle
We loved our stay in this in-law apartment attached to a beautiful Berkshire home. The hosts were nice and accommodating without interfering, and were quick to offer recommendations for food and things to do. The place was clean and comfortable, but the highlights are the hot tub and the beauty of the surrounding area. 10 minutes to Jiminy Peak for me to ski, the entrance to the Mt. Greylock auto road is even closer, and plenty of food/other attractions close by. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Time
I came for a weekend trip with my boyfriend and had an absolutely awesome time. Rick was such a kind host—he was super accommodating (and also very very funny lol). The place is absolutely beautiful, a bit bigger than it looks in photos, and the hot tub was so relaxing. If you enjoy grilling, his grill has one of the best views ever.

Relaxing, Fun Family Getaway
This home is located on a gorgeous, quiet, spacious lot. It's like a slice of heaven, with beautiful views. Rick and Deena are gracious hosts, and we felt right at home. The bed and air mattresses were very comfortable. The guest room is immaculate, having the kitchenette is so convenient, and the game room is a great space as well. The kids and I had a great time swimming in the pool and lounging in the hot tub, playing air hockey and just hanging out. The nearby Rail Trail is ideal for a scenic bike ride as well. There is so much to do, we would definitely like to come back. This is a great property near lots of activities and an ideal spot to relax and do nothing also, which is a nice change. Highly recommend!

Hidden treasure
Absolutely loved our stay! What a beautiful property, relaxing atmosphere. Rick and Deena were so accommodating and attentive to our needs. Rick even offered to help us with our luggage. Great pool, hot tub and game room. Rick checked in with us periodically to see If we needed anything and filled us in on the many things to do in the area. This was our first visit to Lanesborough and loved the town. We plan on staying at this property again in the near future. Thanks Deena and Rick!
