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.

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 for family gathering

The house worked out perfectly for our family gathering to attend a wedding in North Adams. Plenty of room to spread out or hang together. The covered porch and proximity to Williamstown made the stay even more fun. We also appreciated the well stocked kithcen.

Perfect house for large group

The house was wonderful , we all had a great time! The space was perfect for 4 couples, it was so nice for each couple to have their own bathrooms. We hiked Mount Greylock during the day and spent the evening cooking, playing pool and enjoying the fire! Would highly recommend this rental!

A great place for large group of friends

We were five couples of seniors and this house was perfect. Not only was it just as advertised - clean, good location, five bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, excellent host - but the kitchen really is fully-equipped with plenty of everything for 10 people who like cooking and eating. A big dining table which easily seated us all, lots of seating indoors and out. We had a great time playing pool! We're already talking about next year.

Fabulous getaway right in town!

This charming house is located right in the heart of Williams' campus-- walking distance to any campus event and to the conveniences of Spring Street (including morning coffee). The kitchen has been completely renovated and is well stocked with anything you'd need for your stay. Each bedroom has its own en suite bathroom (all recently updated), which is a remarkable luxury for a rental in this location. With a gorgeous pool table, tv room, backyard deck, and huge living room, there's more than enough space for your party to spread out. The owners were very easy to work with (even when we accidentally set off the fire alarm!). We highly recommend this house!

Multi-generation weekend visit

Jake House is a large, comfortable property with lots of architectural charm. The house is well-located and the garden is lovely, with rabbits and deer spotted nearby. We were 6 people, ranging in age from late 20s to late 80s. The ground floor bedroom is perfect for someone with reduced mobility. The bathrooms are modern, well designed and spotless. However, the floors in the bedrooms and kitchen were not spotless. In one bedroom we found a pacifier under the bed and some broken press-on nails stuck in the floorboards. In the kitchen, we found a cheese puff on the floor; also, after wiping a few drops of water off the kitchen floor, the paper towel I used was black. I think it has been some time since the kitchen floor has been mopped. Overall, the house is wonderful and we would stay there again.

Great location, next to a loud party house which we enjoyed. The college kids were having a great time! Worn home which we loved as well with a broken hand rail and in need of some basic repairs. Overall, this property worked very well for our family with tons of room and cool things. Great kitchen with everything very well appointed. Beautiful gas stove and other nice basics. We were in town for a wedding and this was a very central location one block from the action of Williams College. Loved it!

This was a great spot for a family reunion. 5 very comfortable bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Very well equipped kitchen. Downtown Williamstown 1 block away. Lovely front porch that is sheltered from the rain. Didn’t even use the wonderful back deck with picnic table and grill. Will continue to return here!

Giant home perfect for couples and families

The home was exactly as reflected in the listing. It's very large and located right by the Williams campus and Spring Street. Location was perfect for walking into town and to Taconic. The house manager was easily accessible and checking in and out was flawless. The yard and deck were perfect for entertaining both the adults and the one toddler in our group. Would absolutely stay here again.

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.
