Hancock Cottage Summary

Nestled in the woods on the edge of a large meadow, this cozy house offers a winter home in the heart of the Berkshires. Take beautiful walks up through the quiet winter woods or down to the stream on our property. Toboggan down the hill to our pond, or cross-country ski on the meadows. Many local downhill and cross-country ski areas are within minutes by car, including Jiminy Peak. The main living/dining room features a cathedral ceiling, an indoor swing seat, and is overlooked by a sleeping loft that easily accommodates two - or more for those extra guests who don't mind a little crowding (kids love it!). Built in 1990, and located on a quiet country road on a 120 acre property, the house is heated with electric baseboard heaters in each room and a glass-doored pellet stove (like a wood stove) in the main room.

Location of Cottage 172656

Nearest airport:   Albany at 30 Miles
Nearest train:   Rensselaer (Albany) at 20 Miles
Nearest motorway:   Rt. 43 & Rt. 22 at 3 Miles
Car: necessary

The house is just 7 miles from Jiminy Peak, but there is also great skiing, boarding, tubing and lots more special events and activities at nearby Bousqet in Pittsfield, Catamount in Hillsdale and Butternut Basin in Great Barrington. Exceptional cross-country and snowshoeing at Canterbury Farm in Becket - or on our own land. It's about a 150 mile drive from NYC or Boston, and in addition to local skiing it’s a perfect base for trips to southern Vermont resorts such as Mount Snow, Stratton and Magic Mountain (approx. 55-70 miles).
