About this property

Luxury Berkshires Retreat in Lenox - Main House

A private retreat in Berkshires set on 5 acres in prime location in Lenox - our all-season property offers secluded luxury whilst offering close proximity to Tanglewood, Ski slopes, hiking trails, Lakes, the historic town of Lenox and other Berkshire towns. This listing is for the Main House that accommodates a maximum of 11 (you can also rent this property in a larger format - Main House + the Studio - which accommodates 15. VRBO ID. 1266558).

Main House [4400sqft]: This charming 1920s log cabin has an expansive layout with a breezeway connecting a newer section. Inside you will find five well-appointed bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a powder room. The heart and soul of the house is an expansive living room with a brick fireplace, big comfortable sofas, a TV area, and a grand piano. Step out of the living room, onto a balcony to take in the pristine views of the valley below. Right behind the living room is a study and a king bedroom with a full bath. The second floor has two spacious bedrooms (one king and three twins respectively) which share a full bath with a claw foot tub and a separate shower. At the other end of the house, you will find an inviting country kitchen that opens up to a large dining area. The farm table seats 10 comfortably, and there is an adjoining dining area for children. Above the kitchen are two queen bedrooms, a hall bathroom with shower, and a TV den.

Gazebo: We have built a fantastic screened-in living space by the woods' edge, with a 16 seat dining table and sofas for lounging. In this substantial new space you will be able to enjoy long, leisurely meals al fresco, and then curl up for a nap while listening to birds and crickets sing. During the cold season, you can enjoy a fire in the large in-ground fire pit right outside the Gazebo.

Not just a conventional vacation rental, we’ve set up this property as our own retreat with a lot of thought and care. Choosing to rent a home instead of booking a hotel room allows you the space to get together with friends and family in comfort and privacy. But you shouldn't have to sacrifice the luxury you may enjoy during a hotel stay. At the end of your stay, all you need to do is pack your bags and walk out the door. We don't expect you to strip the beds, empty the fridge, or take out the garbage. We offer a worry-free experience right up to the last moment!

** BEFORE YOU INQUIRE**
Thank you for understanding that we have no flexibility on these points:
- We require a 3 night minimum during July and August.
- This house is pet free, there are absolutely NO exceptions to the pet policy. Even if your companion is small, well behaved or hypoallergenic.

ladies weekend

If you are looking for a private retreat with a fabulous large screen house that will accommodate your group of people, this is the place. The pictures of the screen house do not do it justice. The home is very large and kept very nicely. Kitchen is well appointed with everything you need.

Awesome Christmas!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay! It is a very charming place with comfortable beds for all 10 of us and we stayed warm without touching the thermostats. One huge attraction was the table for 10 on the “kitchen/dining” side which we used for eating, crafting and game playing. The pantry had a nice variety of cooking essentials. The other side had a functional wood-burning fireplace, gathering areas and a main floor bedroom suite for the grandparents. The owners were ideal—responsive and accommodating. We arrived just after a moderate snowfall and it snowed during our stay; snow tires or four wheel drive came in handy around the area. This place was ideal for all three generations ranging in age from 10 to 78. Snow sports, great restaurants, museums and shopping within 20 minutes, a lot within 10. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone visiting the Berkshires, especially first-timers like us.

Girls Weekend

We are a group of 10+ women who travel from NY, NH, ME and MA to get together for a girls weekend every year. This property is fantastic! Great location, plenty of room inside and out. The hosts are very accomodating. We hope to return next year!

Terrific stay at great house in Lenox

We were three generations (grandparents, adult kids, and toddler grandchildren) on vacation for a long weekend. The house is very spacious so that we were not cramped and on top of one another. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. The kitchen was large and well stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and anything you would possibly need. The kids play/dining area was a big attraction and the toddlers loved all the toys. The kitchen had non glass dishes for the kids and little kids’ utensils - greatly appreciated. One night we sat around the fire pit after the kids went to bed. The house is in a great location - closed to the town of Lenox and also great for running/walking. One day we went to MASS MOCA. Another day we found a toddler playground and spent a few hours at Balderdash Cellars, which is nearby. Other times we just sat outside at the house while the kids rode their scooters or played ball. We’d love to rent this place again. Thank you, Caitlin.

About the host

Hosted by Caitlin Yadav

We live a few hours away, in Westchester, NY. We've been coming to the Berkshires ever since we first started dating, 14 years ago. And now we are thrilled to have our own place to bring our three children.

Why they chose this property

We couldn't resist this place! The house itself has tons of character. The surrounding woods are great for admiring or exploring. And the proximity to both Tanglewood and town could not be beat. As the previous owner explained to us, this is a very special place in the universe. So we feel lucky to have discovered it, and look forward to sharing it with you!

What makes this property unique

We are so grateful for all the feedback that we've received from guests in the past. We think they have a better idea of what unique benefits our home has to offer. While our guests' full reviews are available, here are a few parting thoughts from our guests in their own words:

“On one of our days there, as snow flurries surrounded us all day long, watching out the ceiling to floor windows in the living room area, we felt as if we were in a snow globe.” - Joann B 1/16/18

“Clean, Cozy, Magical, Perfect in every way! The bedrooms are separated to allow for different families to stay in different parts of the house as if they were private suites.” - Sondra 12/31/17

“Caitlin and Vik’s home was nothing short of amazing! Perfect place for a girls weekend to relax, recoup and spread out. They pay attention to EVERY detail. From every utensil in the kitchens, cosmetic towels and supplies in the bathrooms, extra throw blankets to giant cushy couches to hang out and enjoy a cozy fire.”- Lauren D 11/12/17

“We practically lived in the living room laughing, playing games and just enjoying each others company and reminiscing in front of the fireplace.” - Meghan S. 11/6/17

“Even though it was super cold while we were there, the house stayed toasty warm. We would definitely come back again!” - Becky K 3/7/17

“It is an older home that has been beautifully restored / maintained so has the aesthetic of an old home but has all the modern conveniences. It has all kinds of home-like touches that make it really convenient to just settle in and relax: a well-stocked kitchen with every implement you could ask for, tons of books on the shelves, a sound system that you can just plug your phone into, a TV with blue-ray player, a grand piano, a wood-burning fireplace, candles, throw blankets, etc."--Meral C 10/24/17

“The owners were extremely courteous and spared no efforts to make our stay a most pleasant one. Thank you Caitlin!” Luc H. 10/21/16
