A Writer's Retreat at The Barn
Nestled in the heart of the Berkshires, this barn retreat offers easy access to some of the region's best attractions. Just a minute’s drive from the Monterey Town Beach, the property is perfectly positioned for both relaxation and adventure. Explore the world-renowned music and cultural performances at Tanglewood, hit the slopes at Butternut Ski Area, or take in the stunning natural beauty of the Appalachian Trail. For a charming day out, head to downtown Great Barrington, where you'll find an array of boutique shops, art galleries, and delicious dining options. If hanging back at the house to work on that next novel is your thing, we've got the perfect perch for that too!
The Berkshires is a destination with something for everyone, from vibrant arts festivals to peaceful outdoor experiences. Whether you’re here to hike, ski, or simply unwind, this retreat is your ideal home base.
**There is no lake access directly from the barn, but the town beach is less than 5 minutes away by car.
