About this property

The Meadows House @ Otis Ridge w/ 7-person hot tub

Relax in a beautiful mountain setting at this 4-season ski house within walking distance of the slopes at Otis Ridge Ski Area (the best ski area south of the Vermont border). In fact, the back-yard (actually a meadow full of wildlife and flowers) used to be part of the ski area and there are still remnants of the rope-tow on the edge of the property. The long-range views off the back porch are fantastic.
The space
This house has 3 bedrooms, , 4 beds, 2.5 baths, a pull-out couch in the living room, another pull-out couch and a pull-out ottoman in the walk-out basement, and an electric air mattress to sleep up to 8 people (no extra guest fee on the first 2 people of the group). There are large flat screen TV's in the living room, master bedroom, and the walk-out basement/game room (there's a shuffleboard table, darts, and chess/backgammon table down there). There's also a large deck with half of it covered and screened in. Enjoy a warm gas-fireplace in the living room, a real woodstove (with free wood) in the finished walk-out basement, or a soak in an outdoor 7-person Artesian Spas Grand Cayman hot tub with all the bells and whistles overlooking the meadow. If you're looking for relaxation, this place and the surrounding area can't be beat. Tons of great hiking, numerous lakes, and other attractions like the towns of Great Barrington, Lee, and Lennox (all about 20 minutes away), and popular attractions like Tanglewood, and Jacob's Pillow, just a short scenic drive away.

Guest access
You will have access to all parts of the house, including a washer and dryer in the basement.

This house works best as a family retreat or a romantic getaway for couples. It does not work as a place to have large or loud parties as it is located within a quiet neighborhood and has new hard-wood floors. If you are considerate of other people's property, I would love to host your stay and share why my family grew up skiing Otis and why it is the best place to ski on a powder day, or just relax in nature any time of the year.

Excellent stays for our girls weekend. Plenty of beds for everyone that were very comfortable. Lots of common area space, big table so we could all eat together. Loved the natural lighting and view! Hot tub was great for relaxing at night. We would definitely return to this property again! I would also bring my family here as there is so much outdoor space for kids to run and play!

Great Find

We rented this VRBO for a short family getaway before our first grandchild arrival. Was looking for something big enough to house 6 adults comfortably and in a central location. Haven’t never been to the Berkshire before, this was a great find. Price was affordable and it literally 7-20 minutes from everything. We went to Jacob Pillow, the lake, great eateries, farmers markets. plenty to do locally.The house was clean, large and small enough to

Perfect location; great host!

A lovely view and the location is amazing—close to many beautiful hikes and you can walk to Otis Ridge. Lars was a really responsive host (we ran out of propane on the grill and he replaced the tank for us; had to leave early for a family emergency and he was very accommodating). Hot tub was a nice treat, too!

About the host

Hosted by Lars

Host profile image
Lars teaches high school biology, chemistry, and environmental science just outside of Philadelphia. He is a VERY avid skier who also enjoys camping, hiking, mountaineering, kite-surfing, watching the Minnesota Vikings, and spending time with his children (now young adults).

Why they chose this property

The Meadows House is a great place to come and relax. There are things to do in the surrounding Berkshires year-around. In the winter, you can ski the best little ski area south of the Vermont border, Otis Ridge. I raised my children skiing at Otis Ridge. It's affordable and has a great mix of terrain for everyone, including expert skiing in the woods. You can let your kids go off skiing on their own as all trails funnel back down to the lodge. My back yard used to be a ski slope at Otis Ridge. You can't see the rest of the trails from my property, but if the snow is deep enough and you are comfortable skiing through woods, it is possible to ski to the lifts from my home. The views from my home are stunning. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of opportunities for outdoor activities and many quaint small towns to explore, dine, and shop. The people in Otis are friendly and easy going. At the end of the day, you can soak your troubles away in an outdoor 7-person hot tub with colorful LED lighting and powerful therapeutic jets while overlooking the meadow where wildlife like deer, fox, turkeys, owls, hawks, and an occasional bear may come to visit. The inside of the house is comfortable, open to natural lighting, and has all the amenities to make you feel at home. You will love your stay if you decide to book. I look forward to hosting you.
