    An 1840 farmhouse in the Berkshires, set on the edge of the village of West Stockbridge, is available as a vacation rental house for family gatherings, or family reunions and for friends to holiday together and enjoy the many activities and attractions available in the Berkshire area. Combine the privacy of a 26-acre backyard and its array of wildlife with the convenience of walking to the village of West Stockbridge, 4.3 miles from Tanglewood, 4 miles from Stockbridge, and 10 miles from Great Barrington. The house has 2 living rooms, dining room, sun room, 5 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, new eat-in kitchen, laundry room, games room, large deck that stretches the front length of the house, patio in rear, large back garden with teak garden swing and path leading into woods.

    History

    Late 1800's

    Click on the pictures to see an enlarged view. The farm house was originally called Blake Farm  and built about 1830.  The Blake family was well known in the village since one of the daughters was the local school mistress. This picture dates from the late 1800's. The house has undergone many transformations since then.

    Early 1900's

    This picture was taken in the early 1900's.  The carriage house (on the right hand side of the picture above) has been converted into what is currently the kitchen. A porch has been added and one can see what looks to be a dove cote to the right of the porch; this no longer exists, there is however a bay window in the living room where the dove cote stood.

    Testimonials

    "Three generations spent a wonderful Christmas week here.  The house is perfect - everybody has a place to gather - or - be by themselves.  We had great meals in the dining room & a lovely Christmas Tree in the bay window - Santa found us Christmas morning - and arranged to get all our gifts down the fireplace that was bright & warming us all!  We would love to come back - thank you for all your hospitality! Only thing missing was snow!"
