This A-frame cottage has private waterfront access with two single kayaks and a canoe. A new 12,000 btu air conditoner keeps much of the main floor cool in summer. When the crisp Fall temperatures hit, the house has a proper forced hot air heating system w/ heat registers in the floors and a touchscreen thermostat on the wall, across from the bathroom. You have a master bedroom downstairs with a full sized bed, an upstairs bedroom with 2 twin beds and a loft area upstairs that has a pull outfuton bed. There is 1 bathroom with a shower and a large living area with a futon that can sleep more people. A deck provides a beautiful view of the woods and the waterfront. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and utensils. (Please Note: There is no dishwasher, garbage disposal or washer/dryer. And due to allergies in the family, we do not allow pets at the A-Frame.) Our home has been rented in the summer to Tanglewood musicians for the last 20 years without interruption. The main floor is carpeted and the loft and bedroom upstairs have throw rugs.

(Please note that the propane fireplace in the main room is decorative only - due to insurance regulations. The 12,000 btu air conditioner and plenty of fans keeps your summer time cool. The central forced hot air heating system keeps the house quite comfortable in the Spring and Fall)

If you are into Yoga, you may know that world renowned Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health is 10 minutes by car and a half hour canoe ride from the cottage. Yes, you can actually canoe/kayak to Kripalu from the cottage. It is an amazing experience!

    My only negative comments are that the access to the house from the road is rutted and unpaved. While we watched our steps carefully it should be made clear in the listing this property would not work for folks with balance or mobility issues. The sole bathroom was likely described in the listing( and it went over my head) but the stairs to the loft are steep so middle of the night bathroom needs are tough. The only suggestion would be to have a measuring cup to help with cooking

    This a-frame cabin is lovely - a quiet location, water view, so close to Tanglewood. It had everything we needed for our spring get away.

    We had a wonderful long weekend at the “A-frame”. It’s a unique cabin with a great view. Its very close to the surrounding towns while having a feeling of being away from it all at the same time. It has everything you need for a comfy stay and our host Tim was very attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend!

    The house was very clean and well stocked. A lovely addition I was the bottle of wine and cookies that were there for us. Close to wonderful hikes and using the kayaks to paddle on the Stockbridge Bowl was lovely!

    We were delighted to spend a two night getaway here in the A Frame. The owners were thoughtful in leaving us cookies and wine as well as plenty of bottled drinking water due to mineral taste of tap water. The house was labeled to help us find info and needed items. Most of all the beauty of the setting was literally framed in the huge windows. A truly wonderful getaway in an area of natural beauty and rich cultural attractions.
