Perks for the Parents
This charming New England home, set on 88 acres of private land in the heart of the Berkshires, is steps from hiking trails and full of relaxing treats. Enjoy western views of Mount Race and Mount Everett from the grounds, or explore the woods and nearby waterfalls from the paths that lead right from the house. There are 2 kitchens, and luxury touches throughout include luxury linens, down comforters and bathrobes. The master bedroom has a jacuzzi tub. Out by the tennis court, there is a charming tennis house with bar, refrigerator, sound system and outdoor seating.
Why Kids Love it
It is packed with kid-friendly essentials - including a selection of babycare items - and there are surprises for kids throughout, from a secret playroom full of toys and books to a modern outdoor playhouse, a pool table, ping-pong table and walking trails through the woods. The home is set on ample acreage for winter snow shoeing explorations and playing in the snow. A handmade wooden swing hangs from one of the old maple trees and there is a hammock for an afternoon nap. There is a firepit for roasting marshmallows at night while fireflies and night owls dance overhead.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 7 nights. The property is sprayed for mosquitos and ticks in the summer so you can enjoy bug-free evenings outdoors.

Style Notes
This beautiful New England home has historical bones and contemporary additions. From the cocooning wicker chairs in the lounge to the wood paneled room with a tiger portrait, there’s plenty of panache in the styling details. There’s a fine mixture of comfort and convenience plus classic style and modern perks. The attic bedrooms has sloping ceilings and plenty of character while the rose sprigged wallpaper in the kids room adds nostalgic appeal. It’s all rather lovely.
