About this property

Huge Luxe Williamstown Updated Victorian, All Ensuite Baths, Walk to Spring St!

Feel at home in Williamstown in this Williams College legend! After housing generations of Williams students, Jake House has been lovingly restored to combine luxury, convenience and tradition. A 3-story Victorian located on the Williams College campus (we do have student neighbors on 3 sides during the academic year), in view of Spring Street, and a leisurely stroll to Weston Field, the Clark, the Taconic Golf Club, the Williamstown Theatre Festival and Commencement & Reunion festivities. MASS MoCA and Jiminy Peak are both a short drive away.

Five bedrooms (4 queens, 1 king), each with en suite bath. Onota on the first floor is ideal for anyone with mobility issues and has a walk-in shower. On the second floor we have Blue Benn, Pine Cobble and Stone Hill (master bedroom w/king bed and a claw-footed tub with separate shower). Greylock is the entire third floor, a carpeted oversized loft ideal for a slumber party. Gourmet kitchen, large dining table for 10+, spacious living room, purple felted pool table, den with TV & wood fireplace, wifi, large front porch with swing, back deck, fully-fenced in back yard, driveway parking for up to 5 cars. Central AC. Perfect for groups and families, and pet-friendly (for a fee). Ideal for hosting private gatherings/celebrations (with permission and possibly additional fee).

We do all we can to provide for a comfortable stay with more than just the basic necessities provided. And Venetia is the most responsive and helpful property manager who will streamline your stay, from initial reservation to departure. We hope you will create special memories at Jake!

Please note: If your booking is eight months or more in the future, and your chosen reservation is unexpectedly named the date of a high demand local event, your price may go up and you will have right of first refusal to keep your dates.

Perfect for larger gathering!

This is a great house for a larger group. Well-equipped kitchen for cooking and spacious dining table for eating together. We appreciate enough bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms to accommodate our family gathering. The fenced backyard is perfect for our dog.

Spacious and convenient

We were all amazed at how big the rooms were and by the high ceilings. There were many nice places to hang out, indoors and out. The many bathrooms were clean and nice, and the kitchen was very functional. We loved how close we were to Spring St. Three generations were able to fit comfortably and enjoy this house.

Perfect setting and house for a wedding weekend . Comfortable rooms, well stocked kitchen, great front porch and deck. Only negatives were the extremely loud Saturday night party in the street that lasted until 3 am and a loose stairway railing.

Perfect property

Perfect place for an extended family trip as each bedroom had its own bathroom, so everyone could have their own space and get ready at the same time. Walking distance from main street in town and so much to do in the area - art museums, Tanglewood, etc. Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Venetia Greenhalgh

Host profile image
We are a Williams alumni couple with two young daughters. Jake House (& Williamstown) is our favorite place to escape to when we have the chance, but having moved down to DC two years after buying the house, and contending with the academic calendar, those chances have become fewer and farther between. It seemed to be such a shame to leave Jake vacant while we were away that we decided to open up our home and share it with other families and travelers to Williamstown.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Jake House when we first saw it in its renovated glory. Williams alums of a certain era through the mid-90s will know that Jake has a rollicking past and it always comes alive when it is occupied. It is our much beloved home away from home.

What makes this property unique

Jake House's location, size and amenities are unbeatable for visitors to Williamstown, and is an especially welcoming house for a group of friends or a family gathering.
