Comfortable, quiet home in Pittsfield minutes from Tanglewood, Berkshire Theater Festivals and other year round attractions. Oldest one room school house in New England and listed as a U.S. National Historic Place. Built in 1825 and rebuilt 1843 after a fire. Morewood has been used continually by the community until being converted to a private residence in 1985. The home was completely renovated in 2010 with glass and tile bathroom and updates throughout the 1000 square foot interior locatedin the middle of an acre wooded lot on a quiet mountain road. The bedroom with a queen sized bed is on the ground floor next to the bathroom with a closet and electric heater. The ground floor has the bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, the original blackboard, very large windows, a great room with dining table for eight, gas ceramic stove, sofa and TV/DVD and bedroom for two. The sofa can be converted to a queen size bed for guests or kids or to sleep in front the fireplace in the winter. The bedroom in the loft above the great room has twin beds, a Roku TV, closet and AC window unit. The wooded lot is fenced in for pet safety with a pond and running brook on two sides. The stone patio has a dining table and chairs for four, charcoal grill, Adirondack chairs and hammock under the trees near the fire pit. For background on the Berkshires watch the HGTV video on
this website about the history of Morewood School and also the Prime Video Melville in Love with many scenes of the Morewood estate and Herman Melville's nearby home where he wrote the great American novel Moby Dick.

    Very comfortable, homey, and charming. Easy instructions for entry and use of the premises, bath, kitchen, appliances, etc. ver quiet and private location, even though it is relatively close to busy road (Route 7). The building stayed quite cool despite the oppressive heat outside.

    Cozy and historic one room schoolhouse. Clean and comfy for our 3 guests. Nicely supplied kitchen, convenient to Tanglewood and other local attractions.

    Interesting and creative spaceGreat open space and comfortable .Only negative was that the owner who is far away did not always respond promptly to my few questions . That would have made it perfect!

    Quaint, cozy and spacious. Right off a main road, yet feels worlds away even while outside on the grounds. The house itself was clean, bright and welcoming. Gets a little warm upstairs with the heat going, but the main floor is perfect. Had a nice little firepit out back to roast some s'mores, would suggest an ax to chop some more firewood if you plan on having many fires. Lots of counter space for cooking, all the necessities are there for use. Honestly, I'd go back just for the kitchen, nevermind the rest of the place :P . We're definitely going to head back here, maybe before the end of fall, definitely in the springtime. Loved this place

    We had an excellent time in this cosy and historic home. Especially loved the fireplace and large, fenced yard, and it's a quick drive to the nearby town of Lenox and great outdoor activities. Some of the surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom were a bit dirty upon arrival, but we easily wiped them down with the provided cleaning supplies. Overall, had a great time and would love to stay again!

    Beautiful and comfortable. Close to everything and yet in a quite relaxing area. Loved reading about the history of the school house.
