Photos and Description of the Hancock vacation barn rental 5+ Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, Sleeps 10-12

24 Foot ceilings in the living/dining area feature original, hand-cut beams in this classic New England Barn converted to a comfortable home with all modern conveniences. Big sliding glass doors look out on splendid views across a 7-acre meadow and the valley to Jiminy Peak. The great room has a field-stone fireplace and a wood burning stove, which can be used to enjoy a warm glow after a day on the slopes. The 2nd-floor balcony has its own couch and chairs but is also open to the main room and views. The kitchen comfortably seats 4-5; the dining area 8-10. You’ll find a mix of queen, double and twin beds in our 5 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath house, plus a 10’x10’ cupola with bird‘s eye views and a convertible sofa for extra guests. Our 120 acre property offers hiking in the snowy woods and x-country skiing and snow-shoeing on our three meadows. Just 7 miles from Jiminy, and close to other local slopes, this is also a perfect base for day trips to southern Vermont resorts.

Further details for this vacation barn rental in Hancock, Massachusetts

Getting Wet: Swimming on the property is in our pond, which is about 100-150 feet long, 50-75 feet wide, and 9-12 feet deep in the middle. It’s located just a few minutes walk on a meadow path from the Barn, within view, at the bottom of the main meadow. There is no swimming pool. For beach swimming, boating and lake fishing, Cherry Plains State Park is very close by, with Queechy Lake in Canaan and Lake Pontoosuc in Lanesborough/Pittsfield each just a little farther away.

Staying Cool: Our air conditioner (one bedroom), ceiling fan (main room) and other desktop fans are seldom used, since we catch a nice breeze coming up from the meadow. For the odd mid-summer cool evening, a cheery fire is perfect in either our stone fireplace or our wood burning stove.

Spreading Out: Optionally available, a separate, ground-floor (below 1st floor) apartment with double-bed, living-room/kitchen and full-bath, suitable for a live-in maid, nanny or home health-care aide. This apartment has its own entrance or can be accessed internally via the ground-level “garage” area, and will not be rented out separately. It is only available as an add-on to the main house. FOR EXTRA LARGE GROUPS/FAMILIES, also inquire about available guest cottage (or see listing #172656), also available only as an add-on to the main house in the summertime, but available as a separate rental in winter.

beautiful summer

chicago2boston Boston, MA
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I spent two months in the barn last summer. The landlords were helpful and responsive to any problems that arose. It's not a 'brand new' type of experience: it really is an old barn and has the charm of its years. But it also has every modern convenience you could want. I loved the view from the deck: uninterrupted sightlines toward the distant hills and no visible lights at night.
