Photos and Description of the Sheffield vacation house rental
- 4 bdr, 2 bth, sleeps 6

Quiet, light filled spacious hilltop sanctuary on 4.5 acres, near many well known, loved Berkshire events. The easy living quarters and natural setting invite you to relax and enjoy the natural wonders. Large, beamed great room with cathedral ceiling, skylight and kitchen and dining area, living room with fireplace and study. Patio, screened porch, lovely perennial flowers, spacious lawn. Large Jacuzzi in master bathroom. You might delight in listening to tree frogs, dropping in on the chatter of wild turkeys crossing the lawn. Your imagination might be sparked by passing cotton-clouds and the fleeting images they form while having a cozy breakfast in bed or on the patio and gazing out of the bedroom skylight above you. If you want to expand your observations beyond natural beautiful, antiquing in Sheffield (just minutes away) will transport you across time. This romantic escape is centrally located (2 1/2 hr from NYC and Boston) and ideal for all seasons.

This is an awesome house to get away from it all. The owners were very helpful in arranging plans. The house and property are beautiful. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place.

Beautiful house, wonderful getaway

Review Submitted: October 25, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
My husband, 2 year old son and I were looking to get away for a couple of days and we had a wonderful time. The house was even more charming in person! It was very spacious and could easily have accommodated many more people. There was lots of land for my son to run around and play outside and we loved the cozy fireplace. The owners also provided lots of information and pamphlets about local attractions and things to do. We enjoyed hiking down to Bash Bish Falls, visiting Beartown Lake and the Norman Rockwell museum, as well as spending time walking around downtown Great Barrington. We couldn't have been happier with the accommodations and would absolutely visit again and recommend the property to friends!

LOVELY SUMMER RETREAT

Review Submitted: September 5, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We stayed for a couple of weeks in August and by the time we left were as relaxed as we get. The house is capacious and warmly decorated, with beautiful skylights and a great, vine-covered patio out the side door. Sunny days we biked along the back roads, rainy ones we lazed indoors in half a dozen cozy nooks, reading and catching up on old movies. We also made the easy trips to Tanglewood to hear Beethoven and to Shakespeare and Company for "Richard III," and had delicious food at the nearby White Hart Inn. The house is nicely secluded without being inconveniently remote. Owner is responsive, friendly and straightforward. Highly recommended!
