I stayed at the Lift for 6 weeks and quite enjoyed it. Beautiful, peaceful spot with orchards and a bountiful garden. Joe is a great host, extremely accommodating. The loft is clean and efficient. Great spot to start or end a cycling day.
My wife and I have always planned on retiring in the beautiful Berkshires where we would spend time with our kids Hiking, Swimming, Skiing, etc. We realized our dream and moved up full time in 2010 and in 2016 built the Studio/Loft for our kids and their families when they came to visit. We have recently been offering it on Air BnB and are now making it available for summer rental on VRBO.
You will enjoy the quiet and views of the farm meadow to the south and labyrinth of pathways through the four acre property. There is a wooded lot to the north and a beaver pond to the east. Deer, rabbits and turkeys are casual neighbors and if you're lucky you can spot a fox running across the fields. If you are in season you can pick apples from the orchard and berries from the garden. There are a plethora of songbirds throughout the summer months. Merlin has identified over thirty species.
The property offers a unique location, separate building with private entrance. The quiet location, beautiful property and access to numerous recreation & cultural opportunities in the area offer a unique experience.
