B-Flat Woods, a Vacation Haven in the Berkshires of Mass.
USA/Massachusetts/Stockbridge Vacation Rental
3 bedroom, 2.5 bath vacation home sleeps 8
In the heart of Massachusetts’ Berkshires cultural area, with music, theater, dance, museums, and historic homes, B-flat Woods is three miles from Tanglewood, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and a short drive from Jacobs' Pillow, a rustic summer dance festival theater. B-flat Woods is located three miles from Stockbridge and four miles from Lenox, two lovely villages with fine dining, shops, and art galleries. This Non-Smoking house is on the shore of Stockbridge Bowl (a.k.a. Lake Mahkeenac), with lake access for swimming and canoeing. A sturdy fiberglass canoe is here for your use. More than ten acres of peaceful woods, fields, and lakefront await you for hiking, swimming, fishing, canoeing, or snowshoeing.
The house has 2400 square feet of shaded, well-kept, peaceful living space that sleeps up to eight. A private Master Suite with fireplace, dressing area, spacious closets, TV, CD/radio, full bath, and a lovely view of the woods is on the first floor, off the living room. A cathedral-ceilinged open living area with a large, cozy fireplace, a great stereo, and TV with DVD, VCR, and cable leads to a dining area that can accommodate up to twelve around a solid wood table with comfortable padded chairs. Off the living area is a well-stocked library, with books ranging from masterpieces to mystery to music. Also off the living area is a screened-in porch with chaise lounge, chairs, lamp, and a table.
Next to the dining area is a fully-equipped kitchen with all utensils, dishes, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, and even a large selection of spices and herbs. The kitchen looks out on a flowered parking circle where the driveway ends in a carport that adjoins the side entrance to the house. Off the kitchen is a laundry room with a modern washer and dryer, detergent and other supplies for your use.
A dramatic, enclosed spiral staircase leads to the second floor that has two guest rooms, one with twin beds, the other with a double bed and a trundle bed. A full bathroom is located between the two bedrooms. A balcony that overlooks the large living space is furnished as a sitting area, well-stocked with cards and other games.

"Dear Guests, We want to welcome you to our vacation haven in the Berkshires, B-flat Woods. We fell in love with this house many years ago. The home was built by our cousins, who built it for themselves. Now that we have realized our dream of owning it, we look forward to sharing it with a few special guests each year. Our love of music and for Tanglewood has led us to call the house "B-flat Woods." We both play B-flat clarinets in a community concert band, sitting next to each other, a seating arrangement we have shared for over 20 years. The house is just three miles from the gates of Tanglewood, a fact that we hope you will take advantage of on fine summer afternoons and evenings while you are here. There are so many other delights to discover in and around the villages of Stockbridge and Lenox that we don't have room here to tell you about them. Please let us know how we can help you to get to know our house and this special region..... "
