About this property

Historic Stockbridge Villa on 25 acres sleeps 23

At the end of a tree-lined driveway, this huge private eleven bedroom villa sits by the edge of a field with garden and blackberry patch surrounded by 25 acres of woods. Walking paths reveal rocky knolls and paths circling through pine and maple trees. The private estate has ample space for a retreat, a workshop, a grand party or just family togetherness in a beautiful place, far from the madding crowd but close to highways, shopping, spas and everything you might need.

Villa Favorita is ideal for a large extended family, with 6 bedrooms that can comfortably sleep couples with multiple children, and 5 bedrooms comfortable for couples or individuals.

Five large rooms on the first floor are homey and rich in historic detail. The dining room with large French doors is joined to the modern kitchen through the butler’s pantry. The utility room has a new washer and dryer and a half bath. The living room with built-in bookshelves opens into a spacious front hall with a grand piano and a harpsichord. The first floor also has a comfortable wheelchair-accessible bedroom with handicap shower.

The second floor has five enormous bedrooms overlooking fields and forests; three of these are master bedrooms with en suite baths, and the dimensions of all but one are over 220 square feet.

The third floor, originally servants' quarters, has one shared bath and five more bedrooms, two approaching the size of the master bedrooms, and one that can double as a quiet study with desk and flat-panel monitor.

Wonderful!
This experience was the best we could have asked for to have our family all together to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday! Dan, Lisa and Ben were all extremely kind, considerate and helpful. The house was absolutely gorgeous with so much space for all of us and our activities! I certainly hope we have another opportunity to stay at this beautiful Villa!

Perfect for families!
This home is comfortable, extremely well-equipped and in a beautiful location. It's handy to both Stockbridge and Lenox. Communication with the host was excellent. Wish we could have stayed longer!

A wonderful home for families
This is a home that loves to be filled with family. There is ample space for hanging out, recreation, and conversation. The kitchen is welcoming and well stocked for cooking for many or just a few. There are spacious bedrooms and many with their own or a shared bathroom which makes accomodations comfortable. There are also sleeping spaces on the ground floor for those who may have difficulty with stairs. With a well stocked library, a small pool, a most excellent ping pong table and many musical instruments, it is a home where any groups can enjoy time together, and still have beautiful spaces for solitude and quiet contemplation. The grounds are lovely and worthy of exploration. Not modern, the house has the gracious air of a home that was built well, and meant to give space to create happy memories for ages. Grateful for our stay and to the hosts for sharing this home with us and others.

Perfect for multiple families
We were 19 people - five families having a reunion. The property was really perfect for such a large group. Plenty of well furnished bedrooms. Multiple large tables for communal meals. We cooked all our meals at the house and the kitchen was well stocked. The house is in a beautiful secluded location.

Wonderful Experience in Stockbridge
My friends and I were looking for big, cozy, family friendly home to catch up and Villa Favorita delivered! The house was exactly as advertised, clean and cozy, with a fully supplied kitchen that allowed us to make some great family dinners. The hosts are wonderful, very friendly people who communicate well and made getting in and out of the house very easy. 10/10 would go back again!

About the host

Hosted by Dan Northrup

Host profile image
We are a close partnership of 5 siblings who spent a great part of our lives growing up in this idyllic place, and are on a mission to have it remain a central gathering place for ourselves as well as others. We and our partners, children and now grandchildren are up to about 28 last count, and none of us can bear the thought of not continuing to reunite here on Memorial Day, Christmas and the occasional wedding.

Why they chose this property

This is a real home, just on a big scale! It is *not* a good-housekeeping model home with everything new or museum-perfect, but rather an interesting mix of formal and casual, with much of the house's history retained.

What makes this property unique

The size and scale of the whole property is quite unique - from the grand piano and oversize bedrooms spread across 3 floors to the many acres of forest and fields with blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and lilacs, all free for the picking in season.

The property is very open, with many walking paths going down into pine woods, and a natural glade surrounded by lilacs that's perfect for outdoor gatherings and ceremonies; children love the rope swings under the maple trees off the screen porch; quiet time can be spent in the lovely little greenhouse that's been restored with natural cedar.

Villa Favorita is uniquely located within 10 minutes of Lenox (Tanglewood, Kripalu Yoga Center, Shakespeare & Co., Canyon Ranch), downtown Stockbridge (Berkshire Theater Festival, Norman Rockwell Museum, Red Lion Inn), downtown Lee (Mass Turnpike, Lee Outlets, supermarkets, salons), and within 20 minutes of Great Barrington (Mahaiwe Theater, Butternut Ski Area, international cuisine), Pittsfield (Colonial Theater, Bousquet's Ski Area), Becket (Jacob's Pillow Dance Theater), and Hancock (Shaker Village).
