This is an ideal location to gather your whole family
together for a weekend getaway or to celebrate the special
events in your family life. It can also host a
business meeting, staff retreat or company gathering.
There are many comfortable spots inside the house or
find one outside on the porch overlooking the verdant
lawn and tall trees. You can also take a walk in the historic
cemetery. The gate is in the hedges below the garage. Stroll
downtown and explore the streets of a Victorian industrial town.
The Ashuwillticook bike path heads south for 11 miles
eventually following the Hoosic River, crossing through wetland and skirting around Cheshire Reservoir. It’s mostly flat because it follows the former railroad route.
In town there are a few small museums and historic sites:
The Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum, Quaker Meeting
House, Thunderbolt Ski Museum, New England Holocaust
Institute Museum, and William McKinley Statue.

The place had everything anyone could need or want- it was close to museums and shops- It was very comfortable- glad we found it-
We held a family reunion here and our only regret was that we didn’t plan for a longer stay. It was like having a boutique hotel all to ourselves. Beautiful house, well-stocked updated kitchen, comfortable beds, good location. A real gem.
If you have ever watched the Christoper Reeve and Jane Seymour movie Somewhere in Time then you will truly appreciate the artistic and architectural beauty of this home. Multiple period rooms to recline in and escape to with multiple clean and comfortable sleeping quarters. We spent evenings on the large veranda porch and morning coffee on the second floor porch overlooking the mature grounds. Being located in the heart of the Berkshires, access to nature and culture is easy. You can feel the manager Jill’s heart and soul in the Manor and your experience. Highly recommended.
The Manor was a great facility. Our group had an amazing weekend celebrating my son's college graduation. Everyone who stayed with us slept well and had plenty of private space. We hosted dinners for up to 21 people with ease. We all fit comfortably in the dining room, with some creative table arrangements. There was plenty of space in the various reception rooms, porches, etc. for people to chill, chat, relax, or snooze before dinner. Jill was a great host - amazingly prompt, flexible and considerate. If I had any complaint, it would be that the place could use a few larger pots and pans - there are dishes, silverware and glasses for up to 40 for dinner (maybe even more, but I didn't check all the cupboards), but I was a bit strapped when making a bowl of pasta for 15 or boiling a few lobsters. It also requires a bit of persistence to find. Jill's directions are spot on - but it wasn't clear to me that it was the old rectory until we got there. I think all of our staying and dining guests had a bit of an issue finding it, but that could be an age thing. Be patient - it is worth what you find at the end of the road!!! Many thanks, Jill & co.
This is an amazing property from sledding down the front lawn to playing hide and seek throughout the house. It’s perfect for a family gathering. The manager is a great communicator. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need from baking to entertaining!
This interesting and spacious home allowed plenty of room for us to spread out and unwind. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare our traditional early family Thanksgiving feast. Whether dining al fresco on the porch, in the formal dining room or enjoying a quiet cup of tea in the kitchen, it felt quite homey. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable mattresses and pillows as well as plenty of fresh towels. The property manager Jill was wonderful and kindly allowed us a later check out, which accommodated napping kiddos! Thank you for offering this wonderful rental!
Awesome house, we had a great time.
We were up to attend a wedding! There were 9 of us and we all fir with no issues whatsoever. Walking distance to food and shops. So much space where some of the group were in one sitting room and the rest in another. Great as we had from 80-21 year age range.
Our group of six friends gathered from all over the country at The Manor to celebrate a special reunion weekend. The property was spacious, well equipped, and as described. We even had autumn weather warm enough to sit out on all the gorgeous porches. Jill was a great host. The Manor was an excellent choice for a special weekend with close friends.
Comfortable accommodations, convenient access for shopping in town. Excellent property management.
We stayed here for a long weekend while in town for a wedding. The photos don't do this place justice! It's so lovely and has so much space both inside and out. We especially enjoyed the large porch for outdoor visiting & spent a wonderful time playing board games, cooking together, & enjoying Adams and North Adams. Jill was responsive, helpful, and so kind. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you (like us!) love visiting the Mass MOCA.
Our group ranging from a family with teens, couples, and individuals were very comfortably accommodated. There were many spaces where small and large groups can gather - the front porch was a favorite. The dining group was large enough for a sit-down meal. The kitchen met the standards for the fussy chefs. Activities included hiking, biking, museum hopping and walking on the rail trail. A hidden gem is the thyme-filled meadow in the adjacent historic cemetery . A good time was had by all.
Wow! A beautiful historic house that perfectly met our needs. My first impression was that it just keeps on going - plenty big enough for all 10 of us to both get away from each other when we wanted and to gather when we wanted. Kitchen was great…we cooked and cooked. Then the dining room table was big enough for all of us to gather…perfect for a great family reunion. Held all our parents children, grandchildren and their significant others. Thank you to Jill for making it all easy.
The photos and listing do not do this property justice! It is beautiful and expansive--we absolutely loved staying here! The house is so big with so much space to spread out for the entire group. Everything in the house was so clean and organized and we felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. Each bedroom had comfortable beds and pillows, and even the smaller bedrooms had plenty of space for everyone's things. The front porch was my favorite place to relax and take it all in, especially early in the morning. The upstairs screened in porch was also a favorite hang out spot! The kids loved running around the big yard out front. The kitchen had everything we needed and the big dining room table was perfect for our large group! Jill was super helpful, communicative, and the check in/out process was easy and smooth! I'd definitely stay here again when we are back in town.
