Canaan Cottage for Rent: Berkshires: The Cottage at Hollow Brook Farm: - Property 125178

Siting: The Cottage is a lovely, private nineteenth century home, completely protected from views of other houses. The Cottage is reached via a private lane into the Hollow Brook Farm estate that encompasses some two hundred acres of Canaan Valley fields and forest. The Cottage sits by a meadow through which meanders Hollow Brook from the private forest above the Cottage, and is surrounded by century old maples and pine trees.

Accomodations: The Cottage was recently completely refurbished and updated. It is elegantly furnished throughout with eighteenth and nineteenth century American and English antiques, with an emphasis on China trade objects. The accommodations include two full bedrooms and sitting room, a living room with working brick fireplace for those crisp fall evenings, a well-outfitted proper country kitchen with its dining area looking out on the meadow and the brook, and an outdoor patio area for al fresco cocktails or dining as you wish.

Surroundings: The Cottage is a truly charming country getaway, with easy access to all of Northern Litchfield County as well as the Berkshire County towns and attractions such as Tanglewood, Music Mountain, and Great Barrington. It is convenient to both Salisbury and Hotchkiss Schools, and is a lovely base for school visits or weekends, or Berkshire antiquing, dining or fall leaf season rambles. No children under the age of 14 nor pets, except by specific arrangement; families traveling for school interviews and visits, and couples and partners with a taste for the elegant gem surrounded by natural beauty in the country estate style, will find the Cottage most enjoyable.
