A Writer`s Retreat at The Barn
Escape to a renovated barn that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Enjoy airy, open spaces with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, cozy living areas, and a small kitchenette. Relax in the open living room or unwind out on the patio. Outside, soak up peaceful views, sip a morning coffee, or stargaze at night. Perfect for a quick getaway or an extended stay, this serene barn offers a cozy escape from daily life—an ideal spot to recharge, reconnect, and create lasting memories.
Things You’ll Love
– Berkshire Vacation Rental standard: coffee, creamer, linens, towels, and toiletries.
– Fully equipped kitchen, outdoor grill, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning for a comfortable stay.
– Spacious patio and backyard to relax and enjoy the fresh Berkshire air.
– Convenient location close to hiking trails, cultural attractions, and charming downtowns.
Nestled in the heart of the Berkshires, this barn retreat offers easy access to some of the region`s best attractions. Just a minute’s drive from the Monterey Town Beach, the property is perfectly positioned for both relaxation and adventure. Explore the world-renowned music and cultural performances at Tanglewood, hit the slopes at Butternut Ski Area, or take in the stunning natural beauty of the Appalachian Trail. For a charming day out, head to downtown Great Barrington, where you`ll find an array of boutique shops, art galleries, and delicious dining options. If hanging back at the house to work on that next novel is your thing, we`ve got the perfect perch for that too!
The Berkshires is a destination with something for everyone, from vibrant arts festivals to peaceful outdoor experiences. Whether you’re here to hike, ski, or simply unwind, this retreat is your ideal home base.
**There is no lake access directly from the barn, but the town beach is just 2-3 minutes away by car. The barn shares more than an acre of charming New England landscape with an adjacent owner’s main house, surrounded by trees on three sides
