About this property

Country Home with Babbling Brook and Pond View- Minutes to Berkshire East Resort

3 Bedroom house, known as Flight's End, is for rent by night (two-night minimum), weekend, week or month. Great for romantic get away or a family outdoor vacation. Not a party house. Fifteen minutes to Charlemont, Ashfield and Shelburne Falls. One hour to Amherst, North Adams, Pittsfield.

House is located on a brook and across the road from a private pond (not suitable for swimming). Fifteen minutes to Berkshire East for skiing and zip line tours or Zoar Outdoor and Crabapple Rafting for rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, zip line tours, etc. Kenneth Dubuque State Forest is a 5 minutes walk. Good for hiking, biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.

Drag a lawn chair over to the pond, fetch a glass of wine and watch the antics of geese, ducks and maybe a beaver while the sun sets beyond the pond. The babbling brook has places where kids can play in an old swimming hole, catch minnows, and build rock dams. House sleeps 6 - two rooms with double beds, one room with a queen bed. There's room in the basement for two more on twin bunkbeds if you don't mind a basement.


Newer appliances: House has a new Energy Star washer and dryer, gas stove and microwave. Mitsubishi heat pump for heat and AC added in 2017; fans available for upstairs bedrooms. Wi-Fi satellite internet is available and reaches the back yard and the nearby pond and brook areas. We have a gas grill, a small fire pit and a folding picnic table along with many outdoor chairs.

About the host

Hosted by Kirby R Thwing

Host profile image
My grandparents bought the property in Hawley in the 1920. I spent summers in Hawley as a youth. The family built this house in the 1980s and my kids grew up spending vacations there. Now the grandkids and young cousins come to visit. We want others to enjoy the house and the location as much as we do! My daughter is taking over the property, so we'll continue to host in the future.

Why they chose this property

I built this house for my parents to live in and planned to retire into it when they no longer needed it. I retired while they were still in it and I bought the house of my aunt and uncle, just up the road.

My cousin lives next door to me and just up the road from this rental house. He is a wealth of information about the area and the countryside. He'll be sure to stop by if you are outside.

What makes this property unique

What is unique about this area is its quiet - no stores, no street lights. But there is plenty of wildlife: ducks and geese, turkeys, moose, bear, deer, rabbits, hawks, foxes, loons, beaver, and coyotes. You get the idea, I think. The stars are very bright at night and the brook can be heard from far away. Trees, stone walls, ponds and streams abound. Hawley's population is a whopping 320 hearty souls. Just sitting and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature is rejuvenating.
