Berkshires Hilltop Retreat w Magic View! 15 mins to Ski Butternut

Please enjoy our little slice of paradise! Perched just up the hill from Lake Garfield, The Hupi House offers a truly magical view of the lake and mountains for miles beyond. Let breathtaking sunsets be your evening entertainment! Inside you will find a stocked kitchen, high-quality appliances and bedding, fast wifi, and wooded seclusion. Outside you will find swimming, kayaking, hiking, leaf-peeping, star-gazing, skiing...Minutes to Ski Butternut, Great Barrington, Jacob s Pillow, Tanglewood.

The Space

Our place is a beautiful rustic house in the woods with quiet privacy, the modern amenities you need to feel at home, and a view you will talk about after your visit ends. Easy access to Lake Garfield (lake access included), 10 Minutes from Ski Butternut, 15 minutes from Great Barrington.

The main first floor living area is a lovely open space with galley kitchen, woodstove, ample seating for dining and relaxing. Sliding doors lead to the deck with lounge chairs and grill. Two bedrooms and a bathroom with tub round out the main level.

Upstairs you have a master suite: a lovely tucked away loft with proper closing door, king bed, tv, and en suite bath with shower.

Downstairs is a finished lower level with two twin beds, a queen sleeper sofa, den area w tv/video games, piano, laundry area, and doors that open to the outside under the deck. This is a flexible area, perfect for kids, well-appointed for adults.

Guest Access

Our house is a conveniently situated location from which to visit countless Berkshires attractions, including Tanglewood, Jacob s Pillow, Norman Rockwell Museum, W.E.B. Dubois National Historic Site, The Bidwell House Museum, Animagic Museum of Animation, Bard College at Simon s Rock, Berkshire Theater Festival, Berkshire Int l Film Festival, hiking at Umpachene Falls and Beartown State Forest, and a bit over an hour drive from MassMOCA. The charming towns of Great Barrington, Lenox and Stockbridge are all 15-20 minutes away. Lake Garfield Beach is a 20-minute walk or 4-minute drive down the hill. Ski Butternut, a hub for Northeast skiers, is a 10-minute drive, and a major attraction for winter travelers.

Interaction with Guests

The house is yours and you will not be disturbed by us. Should you need anything we are always available over phone/text/email, and we have reliable local help, should problems arise.

Other things to note:

--The kitchen/main living space is only accessed by stairs, so keep that in mind for those with additional accessibility needs.

--The driveway is quite twisty! We recommend, minimally, a front wheel drive vehicle for winter stays.

--Parents with small children should be advised that any playing on the deck or at the foot of the deck/front side of the house must be monitored for safety, as there are spaces for a wee one to sneak thru the deck railing, and as there is a steep drop off into woods in front of the house.

—We aim to allow people to feel as comfortable here as possible, always are trying to improve guests’ experiences, and are almost always reachable and quickly responsive to any issues that arise. While we are here to help, guests should know it is not a hotel, but a lovely, rustic house in the woods. There are quirks; our patio door leaves a small crack which does not create any noticeable draft but does not seal tight. Some light switches were installed in strange places. We are as diligent as possible in the battle vs critters, as the woods is their home too, but there will occasionally be signs of a country mouse. It is on the side of a small mountain and there are storms that take the power out a few times a year. Workers can be hard to get here quickly. This is just life up here in the Berkshires, and we want guests to come with appropriate expectations so everyone is happy.
