Photos and Description of the Becket vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 7-9)

Use our airy, beautiful, new house as your base to visit the Berkshires' wonderful variety of performance venues, restaurants, museums and spiritual retreats. Breakfast on the dining deck in the cool morning breeze; watch the sun go down through the trees from the upper balcony.

Relax in the deep soaker bathtub in the master bathroom after an inspiring day exploring art museums, or walking a portion of the nearby Appalachian Trail, or shopping at the Lee Prime Outlets.

Walk the dirt road the distance of two or three city streets to the closest private lake. On the way, look for the native wildflowers, hear the streams that flow to the lakes, and listen to the variety of birds among the trees in the forest. Enjoy a swim in the clean, natural lake. Breathe the clean breeze that usually blows across our site.

When you come back from the lake, enjoy the double walk-in shower in the master bathroom to get ready for the evening.

Further Details: Shop at the local farmers' markets and prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen. Cookware and dishes for up to 8 are in the cabinets.

When you return from the evening's performance the windows open as needed for the weather, and cross ventilation lets you enjoy natural cooling. You'll fall asleep listening to the night sounds of crickets and frogs. You'll awaken to the sounds of woodpeckers and songbirds searching for breakfast .

Other members of your party will be upstairs. A double bed is in one bedroom and a twin bed- above a double-bed futon bunk bed is in the other bedroom. A full tub-and-shower bathroom is available to both bedrooms and the loft. The oak frame sofa in the loft is a very comfortable futon double bed.

Besides the choices among the fine arts, you will have the opportunity, if you like, to visit Ku-shi Institute of macrobiotic instruction and programs, 15 minutes' drive north; and Kripalu, Zen retreat house, a half-hour drive west.

Great base for activities in Lee, Great Barrington, Stockbridge et al. So nice to have paper products and some basics provided. Beds were made so that a coin would bounce! Very comfortable. Locally we enjoyed the DreamAway lounge, the Sherwood Shoppe and Berkshire Berries. Ice fishing and hiking the Appalachian trail balanced the opportunity to just be lazy and enjoy the Berkshires. Easy stress free rental.

Owner's Response: Thanks, so much, for appreciating - as much by leaving our place as neat and tidy as you did, as by your kind words. You'll always be welcome when the place is available.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: February 12, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Julia and Rob were simply delightful. They gave a thorough tour of the home upon our arrival and made themselves available throughout our visit. Julia also created a local map of the area and walked us through dining options nearby. The house was immaculate, spacious, and had a great kitchen for cooking (our purpose for the getaway). The living room has some very comfortable lounging options, and the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows provided more than sufficient reading light by day. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the outdoor seating areas or take advantage of the hiking trails due to the weather. However, we took full advantage of their great kitchen and jacuzzi tub in the master suite; in one word: luxury! One note, for any aspiring chefs out there (like ourselves): the kitchen is stocked with all the basic cookingware, but if you have particular utensils you're fond of, be sure to pack them.
Owner's Response: So happy you and your party had a good time and that our place met your expectations. And, you're quite right that we've tried to equip the kitchen for real cooking (not just warming the doggie bags from last night's restaurant meals in the microwave) but haven't provided special cookware like omelet pans, or springform baking pans. We have supplied bread pans, a brownie pan and a lasagna pan; and we have roasting pans available. There are utensils specifically for the propane grill on the deck but it doesn't have a rotisserie capability.
Thanks for the kind words. You were so responsible for taking care of our place that you'll be welcome to return any time it's available !

Family Ski Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: January 26, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
For Christmas every year, our gift to the family is a weekend away to ski and snow board. This was the first time we stayed at Julia & Rob's home and hope to return next year. The house accomodated us perfectly. We had 6 adults (3 couples) and 3 teenagers. There was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. The house is only 30 minutes to butternut which was convenient and also has plenty around to do for the ones that don’t ski.
Julia & Rob were very accommodating, flexible with our arrival & departure time and were there to answer questions.
Thanks again!

This lovely home is pristine and well-appointed. The comfortable great room, filled with natural light that spills in through several windows and skylights, is a delightful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Gracious and helpful hosts Julia and Robb welcomed us AND our extended family's three dogs. We enjoyed long walks in the nearly traffic-free neighborhood. Don't miss the fabulous breakfasts at the nearby Sherwood Shoppe.

We spent three weeks in Becket and enjoyed every minute of our stay. It is a very well maintained
and appointed,...especially the large comfortable bedroom and the living room/great room. Watched the
Olympics and when not watching TV used the music aspect of the direct tv.

Best recommendation we can make is, god willing, we plan to return next year.

Owner's Response: We're so grateful for thoughtful guests like Bob and Marcia ! We're always glad to answer questions and provide directions. These nice people were frequent attendees of local performances around Berkshire County. They kindly left our guest house in tidy condition. Thanks so much, you two ! Julia and Robb

So much to see and do in the Berkshires makes this a great place to stay

This is a spacious and bright home, especially on the main level. Having the owners right next door is a real plus. Feel free to "pick their brains" since they know lots about the area.
It is easy to get from here to elsewhere ... whether it be Jacob's Pillow, Tanglewood, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Barrington Stage Theater and everywhere in-between. The local roads in Sherwood Forest are almost traffic free and the Appalachian Trail is close by. Consider too the Adventure experiences at Jimney Peak.

Great swimming holes around the area. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Lots of activities in the area. Bring bikes to do the bike paths.(flat).

We had a great time celebrating New Years in Becket! The house was very clean and comfortable, it seemed like it was a brand new house or recently renovated. There were a good amount of nearby activities and restaurants. The owners were very nice and helpful.
