I am so glad that you took advantage of my kayaking and hiking suggestions, and that you got to experience Tanglewood at just 10 minutes away using suggested short cuts. Thanks for enjoying and respecting my 1840's farmhouse with its hand hewned beams and 14"floor boards. I hope you will come again, and experience more of what the Berkshires has to offer.

Great for Family

The farmhouse was perfect for our family getaway weekend with our adult children. Very spacious living room, dining room, and five bedrooms helped make our stay very comfortable and relaxing. Elaine, the property's owner, was very accommodating and informative. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are visiting the Berkshires.

Elaine was a gracious host, welcoming us with a bouquet of flowers and fresh cucumbers and lettuce, all from her lovely garden. The summer porch was our favorite place to gather. Our family and two dogs had a wonderful time. The location was perfect for visits to Tanglewood and Shakespeare & Co., Kripalu, hiking trails, Stockbridge, and Lenox. An added bonus was Elaine's pottery studio, where one of my daughters found a beautiful, hand made pitcher for her home.

Elaine was a wonderful host, and I highly recommend her for your next stay. The house is roomy with plenty of space for our large party. There is no AC so we had a few uncomfortable nights but there were fans in every room which helped a great deal. We had a great time, and the house is in a perfect location Tanglewood, although Rt. 41 can be a very busy road. West Stockbridge is a quaint, lovely town with some exceptional foodie places.

Lovely place although a little dusty

The place has a lot of character, we loved the wooden materials and utensils. It's pretty spacious with 5 beds. No hot tub/jacuzzi, only shower, and no fire pit either. The host graciously gave us flowers and fresh vegetables from her garden. She was very communicative and emailed us lots of recommendations for activities in the area. The only complaint is the sofas and beddings are a quite dusty and gave us all allergies.

So sorry vy. This was the first time of the fall that the heat was turned on, and it always takes a bit to "mellow out". Sorry that you were the ones to do the mellowing! it was not the sofas and bedding, but the baseboard heaters coming on for the first time of the season. again apologies

Quaint Berkshires farmhouse

This was the perfect place to gather for a group of adults (family and friends) coming together for a Tanglewood extended weekend. The charming farmhouse had lovely quaint details, such as exposed beams, wide plank floors, quirky closets. We spent most of our time and had all of our meals out on the ample screened porch, looking out over the lovely garden. The kitchen was well equipped. As it is an old house, we kept the windows open to keep it aired out. And thankfully every window had tight fitting screens and really effective fans, which were all we needed to stay comfortable even on hot nights. Elaine was a gracious and friendly host, and really made us feel welcomed. Our only reservation would be for people with mobility concerns: 4 bedrooms are up a steep and narrow staircase. This was not a concern for any of us, but it could be challenging for some, or for people with heavy luggage.

Spacious and Inviting

My wife and I wanted a place that was quiet with a comfortable reading room and accessible porch, close enough to town and still distant enough for serenity - and this house had it. Not that we needed it but it's important to acknowledge that the house has 5, count 'em, 5 bedrooms. It's a bit rustic, as disclosed, but the master bedroom upstairs was very comfortable. Plenty of sheets and towels and a very well-stocked kitchen. We did not need the dining room but that was a lovely room as well. The house is on Rte 41 so there was the sound of traffic, but at night so few cars passing it was not an issue. Our favorite room was the wide and comfortable screened-in porch, where I spent most of my time. The drive to Great Barrington is under 15 minutes and Stockbridge is even closer. All of this is delightful, but the best feature is Elaine's hospitality - always available if we needed anything but never interfering. She is fascinating: be sure to ask about her personal, worldly life experience.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine Hoffman

Host profile image
I am a potter who loves to get my hands in clay.
Hands in dirt is not a bad thing either, as I love to garden ,as well.
I have a large vegetable garden and perennial gardens all around the property. If you are here in season, you may be able to partake of my garden vegetables and/or flowers to decorate the farmhouse.
I also love to hike the trails right out the door- Up the mountains, and down to the river.
These are a few of my favorite things!
I hope that you can come and enjoy them too.

Why they chose this property

This Farmhouse has been in the family for nearly 50 years. We have developed the land and buildings and have enjoyed its solemnity and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

The farmhouse is just 2 miles from downtown West Stockbridge where shopping necessities, galleries, restaurants, playgrounds, tennis, and swimming are all available.
It is within 10 minutes from Tanglewood, theatres, movies, museums and other cultural activities, as well as ski resorts.
And yet a lovely place to just sit and contemplate on the screened in porch overlooking the fields, gardens, stream and wooded mountains.
