About Rebecca Texier.reservations manager

We are a professional family with very strong ties and attachments to the Berkshires. The 'Residence' on Williamsville Road has been in our family for over 40 years. It's been that magical place where our extended family has lived, loved and grown. It's been that beautiful space where marriage proposals were accepted and where joyous weddings took place.

It's been our home to welcome the newest members of our families and where our children spent weekends and holidays delighting us with their discoveries of a fallen bird, wild strawberries, or new deer prints in the snow.

It's been that fun treat where teenagers invited their city friends for swimming, skiing, and sleepovers. It's been the quiet retreat where sister-in-laws got to know one another better and where brothers bonded; that place where parents aged, where screenwriters wrote, where the academics of the family studied and researched, and where so many dreams started that ultimately changed the lives of others in so many ways.

That is our home. That is The Residence. This is the unique love and magic we can offer you as your 'Home-Away-from-Home' in the Berkshires.

Rebecca Texier.reservations manager purchased this house in 1968
Why Rebecca Texier.reservations manager chose Stockbridge

The property (14 acres of pristine woods) is secluded and yet just minutes to everything. Our caretakers are there if you need them and all efforts are made to make your stay in our home as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

What makes this house unique

This property has Quite a Stockbridge/Berkshire history going back to 1919 when the main house was built 'by hand' by two very feisty and spirited women who defied convention for their time.

The rental is spacious, comfortable and beautiful, and the grounds are well-kept and very peaceful.

The Berkshires are an unparalleled haven for the Arts, encounters with nature, and New England charm and history, all within 2-3 hours from New York or Boston. In the summer, visitors and performers flock to the region to enjoy top-quality theater, music and dance. In the winter, downhill and cross-country skiing beckon. And throughout the year, the great outdoors are preserved for the enjoyment of all--whether you prefer to connect with nature by hiking, fishing, canoeing, cycling, or from the comfort of an Adirondack chair perched on your deck. Amble through historic towns and buildings and visit world-class art museums and galleries, stopping to dine at delicious eateries along the way.

Great, relaxing family getaway

4 of 5
Submitted: May 23, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
We had a great time in this house for a weekend getaway. The logistics were easy and smooth. The house was clean and well-equipped. There were little touches of homey-ness everywhere. While it felt like a legit "woodland" experience and the age of the house adds to its charm, it was also great to have modern, well functioning bathrooms and kitchen facilities. My kids were able to play outside independently in the hammock, creek, pingpong barn etc... so I was able to kick back and relax. We loved it and would definitely return. Thanks!

Wonderful Property

We used to live in the Berkshires, so wanted to find an alternative to the hotel experience on our visit back for a book signing at the Red Lion Inn. After spending a weekend at this magical property in the woods, we can't imagine staying anywhere else in the Berkshires. The service was exceptional - every question we had was answered almost immediately, the house was impeccably clean and tastefully appointed. It's far enough off the beaten path, yet close enough to everything- the Norman Rockwell Museum and Chesterood are just down the road and Main Street in Stockbridge is just a short drive away. We can't wait to go back!

Great country manor off the beaten path

5 of 5
Submitted: December 13, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
A very relaxing place right next to the Appalachian Trail, yet has all the amenities you will need and just a 5 minute drive to Stockbridge. Caretakers are on the property to assist but are not in the way and you keep a feeling of privacy. We were there (along with our dogs) in November and had a great time hiking the trails, then coming in and warming up by the fire place. We look forward to coming back again and checking out the pool table and ping pong table.
