Photos and Description of the Sheffield vacation farmhouse rental
Rustic 2 BR 2 BA Berkshires Retreat

Luxurious, yet rustic Berkshires getaway. Turn of the century post and beam farmhouse, tastefully updated with chef's kitchen. This fabulous property sits 15 feet from a babbling brook and far back from a country road. Close to all Berkshire attractions (8 miles from downtown Great Barrington), yet peaceful quiet and decidedly rural. The perfect house in the country.

Caretaker's Barn in Winter

Location: Berkshires < Massachusetts < USA

Located in the Berkshires, this property empitomizes what attracts people to the region. A one time small working farm, the house sits beside a small seasonal brook with a barn across the way and a caretaker on the property. While wonderfully rural, it's within a short drive of all Berkshire cultural attractions, including Tanglewood and the Berkshires' famous Summer Stock Theater performances.

The Perfect Place

Review Submitted: February 1, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2009
My husband and I found Martin's wonderful house a few years ago while visiting friends in Great Barrington. We are great lovers of the Tanglewood Concerts and were looking for a country retreat, close to Lenox with a "good kitchen," Much to our great pleasure Ford Hill Farm was (and is) the perfect place. The bedrooms are airy and simply arranged--the master has a beamed ceiling and white linens, and the public rooms downstairs are just right. Comfortable chairs and sofas, a good music system, wonderful fireplace and an incredibly well-laid out kitchen complete the picture. The bonus is having breakfast on the terrace and listening to the brook. Occasionally, one might be joined by the two beautiful chickens who live across the brook who show up for a bit of toast. We were there for two glorious weeks and it was very hard to leave. Martin is a man of great taste and kindness, who shares his beautiful home with apparent ease. Everything is immaculate. The feeling is totally laid back and casually arranged with an art director's eye. We are planning to will be back there again this Summer. It feels like home.

We like to pretend we live here.

Review Submitted: July 12, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
My husband and I rented Ford Hill Farm looking for a retreat - and that is exactly what we found. Lovely, comfortable and very well appointed, we immediately felt at home and enjoyed every minute of our stay.

The property is convenient to lots of hiking, kayaking, swimming, shopping and dining - but the grounds made us feel worlds apart from anyone else. The kitchen is a joy to cook in and the decor of the house is very pleasing.

We have been searching for a place that we can revisit and make part of the traditions in our family and we have found it. Thank you to Martin - we look forward to returning as often as we can.

a rustic gem

Review Submitted: April 26, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
I’m a repeat renter (going back this summer for my third stay), and this property is a real gem. It’s only a mile or so off Route 7, but its immediate setting seems isolated and calmingly rural, with its babbling brook and surrounding fields and woods. The kitchen has all the comforts of home, but in a rustic setting that’s a world apart. There is comfort in the fact that the caretakers are just across the brook, but there’s little need to call on them, or on Martin, who nevertheless is always welcoming, responsive, and easy to deal with.

A perfect country house

Review Submitted: April 19, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
This is a great property - a wonderfully old house with very modern amenities, situated in a quiet, wooded area that is still close to town. Martin is a helpful and accommodating owner with lots of local knowledge; it’s a pleasure working with him. We'll be returning to Ford Hill Farm!

You couldn't find a more charming, beautiful place in the Berkshires!

Review Submitted: April 11, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
My boyfriend and I went with another couple on a weekend getaway and couldn't have been more pleased. The pictures don't do the house justice. The house is impeccably designed (who knew country contemporary was such a hit!) and each room felt more beautiful and homey than the next. There was a large supply of fresh fire wood, a Chef's kitchen with Viking range, and comfortable couches and chairs to keep us happy and content indoors. Right outside the door was a seasonal brooke and expansive woods perfect for hiking, skiing and Great Barrington were only a short drive away. I have definitely mentioned this house specifically to friends, as a top recommendation, and hope to return one day soon. You won't be disappointed!
