About this property
Charming Winter Getaway in Great Barrington, MA
Welcome! For a winter or summer adventure, here is a great location in the Housatonic village of Great Barrington. You'll have a big yard, walkable streets and an excellent front porch for social time and relaxing. Your dog is welcome if well-behaved and crated while you are out and about.
Minutes to local hiking, streams and ski areas, Rockwell Museum, Chesterwood, movie theater, live music and great eateries; we are located in a quiet neighborhood just north of hopping downtown Great Barrington and its many fun attractions. Easy nearby cycling, playgrounds, pickleball, and more.
Walk to a meal or snack at the Common or Garden Pub, Pleasant and Main and Extra Special Teas. There's are a couple of funky little shops and two art galleries nearby, and of course, Berkshire Mountain Bakery. Kids and adults can also enjoy dance and yoga classes at Berkshire Pulse, right down the street.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was charming, clean and the perfect size for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers). We loved being able to walk to the village center which has a few 'gems' like Common or Garden Pub and Pleasant and Main cafe. Ellen was a great host-- friendly, welcoming and responsive. We would love to stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Ellen Lahr
I am a busy professional living in the Berkshires, and this is my full-time wonderful home -- except when you visit and it's all yours. I'm a big traveler and can point you to all sorts of off the beaten path destinations to explore!
Why they chose this property
This property is quite "New England"--it is a traditional "Sears Kit" house from the 1920s with original wood inside, tall ceilings downstairs and charming details. The front porch is my "deck," where I socialize and relax all summer, and that's where I see my friendly neighbors pass by most days.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location, and cozy charm. Did we mention location? Walkable and super convenient location!
