The Meadows House @ Otis Ridge w/ 7-person hot tub

Relax in a beautiful mountain setting at this 4-season ski house within walking distance of the slopes at Otis Ridge Ski Area (the best ski area south of the Vermont border). In fact, the back-yard (actually a meadow full of wildlife and flowers) used to be part of the ski area and there are still remnants of the rope-tow on the edge of the property. The long-range views off the back porch are fantastic.
The space
This house has 3 bedrooms, , 4 beds, 2.5 baths, a pull-out couch in the living room, another pull-out couch and a pull-out ottoman in the walk-out basement, and an electric air mattress to sleep up to 8 people (no extra guest fee on the first 2 people of the group). There are large flat screen TV's in the living room, master bedroom, and the walk-out basement/game room (there's a shuffleboard table, darts, and chess/backgammon table down there). There's also a large deck with half of it covered and screened in. Enjoy a warm gas-fireplace in the living room, a real woodstove (with free wood) in the finished walk-out basement, or a soak in an outdoor 7-person Artesian Spas Grand Cayman hot tub with all the bells and whistles overlooking the meadow. If you're looking for relaxation, this place and the surrounding area can't be beat. Tons of great hiking, numerous lakes, and other attractions like the towns of Great Barrington, Lee, and Lennox (all about 20 minutes away), and popular attractions like Tanglewood, and Jacob's Pillow, just a short scenic drive away.

Guest access
You will have access to all parts of the house, including a washer and dryer in the basement.

This house works best as a family retreat or a romantic getaway for couples. It does not work as a place to have large or loud parties as it is located within a quiet neighborhood and has new hard-wood floors. If you are considerate of other people's property, I would love to host your stay and share why my family grew up skiing Otis and why it is the best place to ski on a powder day, or just relax in nature any time of the year.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Lars’ Otis home easily accommodated our group of 4 long-time friends, with plenty of sleeping and sitting options for all of us. The screened-in back porch was a lovely amenity, and it was delightful to descend the stairs each morning to the sun-drenched first floor. However, the stairs to the upstairs bedroom level and to the basement are narrower and more harrowing than typical stairs. The basement itself was a treat with a shuffleboard table, darts and other games. We could access the hot tub via the lower level, but it was difficult to release the ratcheting tie-downs to remove the cover, and it seemed like a lot of work to actually get in to enjoy it. I suppose that’s because Lars (or any guests, for that matter) would not want any critters accessing the hot tub! The beds were quite comfortable, but the bathrooms could use a bit of a refresh. The shower floors were a little moldy and the shower pressure was almost non-existent. Aside from the few issues mentioned, the home was a great place to stay to explore the Berkshires and enjoy a few days with great friends.

Perfect Getaway!

We are two families that travel together every year for a long weekend. This getaway did not disappoint. It was a beautiful home with amazing views! We enjoyed watching the 6 inches of snow falling from the hot tub! The house was big enough for all of us. Four adults and 3 teenagers. The teenagers had a great time playing video games and we all enjoyed the shuffleboard table! We could watch different movies on different floors! We made dinners and there was plenty of room for all of us around the table. We took a ride to nearby Stockbridge and the Lee Outlets. We didn't ski this weekend but the house is right next to Otis Ridge Ski area. A short walk through the back woods and we were on the side of the slopes watching the skiers ski down the mountain. Our host was welcoming and responsive, he answered any questions that came up. With an impending snowstorm the night before our departure, he arranged to make sure the driveway and entryway would be cleared for us, and it was. We accidently ledt some clothes in the dryer and we called him and he said he would ship them to us!

Stunning views and beautiful home.

We stayed at the Meadow House over Labor Day weekend. Lars was super accommodating to us and made sure we were taken care of. Really quick responses from him and he’s even working with us to return something one of the friends I was with left behind. Definitely recommend this house if you’re looking to escape the city or go hiking near by.

Family Reunion Weekend

the Meadows House was very comfortable. Now that there are more grandchildren than children we have outgrown our families lake house. The local hotels are never comfortable for our tall family. The Meadows house was perfect. Beautiful views I wish we had been able to enjoy the hot tub but it was a beautiful week and the lake was calling. we would stay at the Meadow House again. The host was very attentive and checked in (via text)during our stay which was nice.

Comfy lodge in the Berkshires!

House was exactly as described - beds are incredibly comfortable - especially the king in the master bath. Lots of kitchen appliances, plates, cups, silverware- everything you would need. Location is peaceful with an easy semi circle driveway for multiple car parking, if needed. The enclosed deck is a great compliment to the outer deck. The hot tub looked beautiful, but we didn't get a chance to use it. Lars was very responsive and clear. The woodstove was the absolute topper - nice and relaxing while watching tv with friends!

Great stay in a more remote part of the Berkshires

Overall, we loved our stay in Otis. The house was perfect for two couples - also had a kids’ room that we didn’t use. The place is small but laid out nicely. The kitchen was well-equipped, which is a big plus for us. The view of the backyard field was lovely. The location was great for us because we have family in Otis, but others should know that it is not especially close to restaurants and shows. We drove to both Lenox and Great Barrington with no problem, though. We also took a walk around the Otis forest and saw tons of mushrooms! The AC system was a bit complex if you are used to central air, but I was glad to have it in the bedroom at night. Hot tub a real plus. I would recommend for a family or small group.
