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

It was a short getaway trip for me and my two adult offspring, to laugh, reminisce, and just relax. Mission accomplished!The Barn was a perfect place for all of the above, and Jaryn was very responsive and easy to work with. Ty

Loved our stay at the barn. Great location right by Lake Garfield beach and close to great hiking trails. Note that (as mentioned in the listing) cooking is limited to a grill, but that wasn’t an issue during our stay. Would stay again!
