About The Owner

My wife and I are creatives who work/live in Manhattan. We travel constantly and always check VRBO when planning our next trip.

Why The Owner chose Otis

The Berkshires are an idyllic part of America that is completely underrated. Despite being extremely 'country', this area boasts some incredible cultural experiences. Tanglewood , Jacob's Pillow, Mass Moca, and Kripalu are all top notch experiences. The artisanal food available is up to par with any big city farmers market, and nearby Great Barrington is a wonderfull little city full of great shops and an independent movie theater.

What makes this chalet unique

Our house is a few hundred yards from Otis ridge ski mountain. A tiny little resort stuck in time (1960's). We are also within 30 miles from the more modern Butternut, Blanford, and Bosquet mountains. There is an appalachian trailhead 8 miles from our house and wonderful hiking/swimming all nearby.

My only hesitation about writing this review is that I don't want the "treehouse" to become so popular that I can no longer get a reservation. It was the perfect place to spend a few days getting away from it all. My wife and I arrived on a snowy December afternoon and we received another 1-2 feet of snow while we were there. The cold temperatures and the two feet of snow on the ground forced us to spend most of the time indoors, but we didn't mind at all. We used the well appointed kitchen to cook some wonderful meals, we sat by the wood burning fireplace in the afternoon taking in the beautiful views, we went for beautiful walks through the woods, and we bought a sled and took advantage of some of the local hills.

This is the perfect place to retreat from city living. It was the first time we've ever been truly sad to leave a vacation spot, but we left feeling relaxed and restored, all the while knowing that we'll be back soon.

I needed a brake from my hectic life and took off with my best friend to the Berkshires...
On our way to the property we stopped by Guido's marketplace and stock up on delicious local products and superb wine. We spent our time cooking on the outside grill and sipping wine in front of the wood fireplace. It was a pleasure to walk on the lovely and scenic paths around the area and to come back and lounge or read on the day bed- surrounded by the views of the forest-
The Treehouse is a tastefully decorated and comfortable mini heaven.
It provided us with a necessary respite before the holiday season... cant wait to go back!!

Berkshire Treehouse

What a great spot - We were there for one week and I read 4 books. It is in the woods and quiet and beautiful. Great Barrington is only about 20 minutes away and is one of America's truly great towns - the farmers market on Saturday morning is a must. The house lacked a toaster or CD player which would have been nice to have. No TV which was a total blessing. Furniture could be way more comfortable - a comfy couch to curl up in to read. An amazing little architectural gem makes you feel like you are living in a tree. Definitely does not suit more than 2 people.

We had an amazing time at the Berkshire Treehouse in Otis this summer. We are a family of four with two teen-age boys and we all loved the Treehouse--it's nestled amongst the trees and with all of the glass windows, it truly felt like a treehouse. We could see the stars at night and awoke to birds. We were a tad tight with three big guys, but it worked. The kitchen is small, but everything you need is right there and the BBQ outside added cooking options. There was no television which was fantastic; instead there were plenty of games to keep us busy. We cooked together and enjoyed the relaxing pace.

In terms of location, Otis is definitely a sleepy town and you're a bit farther from places like Tanglewood, but within a 30 minutes drive you can be at any of the Berkshire hot spots. Since it was our third time in the Berkshires, we explored new locales and especially loved the Beckett Quarry. Awesome hiking spot with a water hole.

The owners were great to work with--accommodating and helpful--and the rate was quite reasonable. We would definitely go back again.

My wife and two children stayed at "Trillium Ridge" this January. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We enjoyed teaching our youngest son how to ski at Otis Ridge, just down the hill! We look forward to staying here again, Id love to see the view in the summer or fall!
