Serene, idyllic, and extensively renovated farmhouse. Perfect for bird watchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking a tranquil retreat. Large kitchen (2 skylights) w new D/W & Fridge. Clawfoot tub in downstairs bath with w/d. Swimming < 1 mile away: DAR Forest (lake), Chapel Falls (waterfall). as well as Ashfield Lake. Skiing at Berkshire East (28"), and Notchview Cross Country (30"). Super fast/reliable fiber w/bakup battery. Pet (dog) fee: $150. Sorry, no cats. The space The house was originally built in 1850, so some of the doorways are not very high, and the staircase to the 2nd floor is a bit steep (see photo of Bedroom #2). Visitors with small children should be mindful of the clawfoot tub, the elevated platform of the wood stove in the living room, and exposed nailheads as potential hazards. n.b. There is no AC in smaller upstairs (queen) bedroom in summer months. Guest access The entire grounds outside the house are accessible. The garage is available for use during your stay, for storage of skis and other large items. The barn is locked and off limits. Other things to note Please note: There is no cell phone service at the house. You can, however, make calls and send/receive text messages via the wifi network by turning on 'wifi calling' on your phone. If the power goes out - which it may during winter or harsh storms - the wifi will stay on, as the network is fiberoptic and the router is connected to a backup battery unit with ports for charging cell phones and laptops.
