River Cottage is just a short stroll away from local favorites like Prairie Whale, charming shops, and the bustling Farmer's Market.

River Cottage boasts a pristine, completely renovated interior with gorgeous finishes throughout. The open-concept living and dining rooms flow effortlessly into a chef's kitchen, complete with a walk-in country pantry.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a king bed, complemented by two guest bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with another king bed. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms ensure privacy and convenience for all guests.

The fenced backyard extends to the water's edge, offering stunning river views. Entertain guests on the back deck, relax in one of the many seating areas, or enjoy a cozy fire in the riverfront fire pit.

Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, this idyllic home offers everything you need to relax, entertain, and enjoy the best of Great Barrington.

The area

River Cottage is located on a residential street in the heart of Great Barrington with walkable access to several grocery stores, outstanding restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, yoga, and more. You're also close to hiking, skiing, arts and cultural institutions. During warmer months the Great Barrington Farmer's Market operates every Saturday from 9am-1pm, providing the opportunity to cook family meals made with locally-sourced organic produce without getting in your car!

Guests at River Cottage have access to an easy walk into town via the pedestrian-only Cottage Street Bridge.

River Cottage is approx 2.5 hours from Boston and just under 3 hours from New York City. You'll need a car to get here and get around the Berkshires, but downtown Great Barrington is just a short walk away! The house has moderate cell service, but the surrounding areas are full of cellular dead zones. We recommend downloading the region's online maps to your device prior to your arrival or any day tripping you do while you’re here.

Notes from your host

Cooling: The home features window A/C units in both queen bedrooms, and mini-split units in the king bedroom and dining room.

“We had a great time at Red Cottage. Very cozy, clean, and well located. The hosts were super responsive hosts and were flexible in accommodating an early check-in request. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Great Barrington.”

“We stayed for multiple weeks and enjoyed the easy access to Main street and the quietness of the surroundings where the house is located. There were only two of us and the house worked really well for us. I suspect 4 would be ideal and 6 might feel a bit crowded if you plan to stay for more than a few days. The management company is the most responsive I have ever experienced in renting on either Airbnb or VRBO. They were excellent.”
