River-front home in the Berkshires + tennis court and hot tub!

Description

River Run is an incredibly peaceful and private property with a Har-Tru tennis court and cedar hot tub in the Berkshire hills! Ideally looking for a SHORT TERM RENTER for 1-9 months between August 2026 and May 2027. Length of stay and price are negotiable depending on the months you want to rent. We also have SPECIAL FALL/WINTER RATES for shorter stays of 2-4 weeks between Nov-April, send a request. This 1815 double cape farmhouse has been lovingly restored, renovated and expanded over the past 30 yrs. It comfortably sleeps 10 adults, or more if requested. Our favorite things: tennis, hot tub, firepit in the woods, cross-country skiing, and sleeping to the sounds of the river! There is a large backyard patio with bbq, a huge fire pit area in the woods, an enchanting meditation garden, and access to swimming and fishing in the river nearby. The world-class Har-Tru tennis court can generally be played on until the first big snowfall in Nov or Dec. We have 2 relaxing hammock spots, a large backyard for playing games, and a cozy front porch to watch sunsets over the river. The restored 1815 part of the house has 3 upstairs bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 upstairs and one on ground floor). On the ground floor, there is a living room with large TV and fireplace, a dining room that can sit 10, and a small study connecting the dining room to an enclosed back porch. This ‘summer porch’ can be a living area or an extra bedroom since it has a queen sofa bed. The vaulted ceiling kitchen is great for gatherings and connects via a mudroom to a large barn wing with a 4th bedroom and a 3rd bathroom upstairs above the garage. The 4th bedroom in the new barn wing is also know as 'the studio' as the previous owners were artists. It is quite large with a king bed and also a couch that converts to a queen sofa bed, and still has plenty of room to be used as a yoga/dance studio, gym, home office, or art/music studio. If you don’t need this extra bed/bath over the garage, then we can lock those rooms and may be able to provide a special rate if you have less 6 people or less - please send a request. There is hi speed Wifi and a Sonos sound system throughout the house. One of our favorite things about River Run is hearing the sound of the river and watching it flow by. We also love the proximity to great hiking, fishing, biking, swimming in beautiful lakes, cross country skiing, as well as access to local wineries, breweries, artisans, farm stands, and all of the art and cultural events that can be found in both the Berkshires and Pioneer Valley. The front porch and back patio are fabulous for hanging out in nature, and the huge backyard is great for playing games (we have badminton, horseshoes, bocce set, kubb ). There is 1 hammock stand in the backyard, and 2 hammock spots over by the fire pit. The raspberry and blueberry bushes are producing July-Aug and you are welcome to do some berry picking and make pies or preserves. If the weather is not great, the vaulted kitchen sitting area, living room and summer porch are all wonderful places to sit and talk, or cozy up with a book. There is a large TV in the living room and 1 TV in the upstairs bedroom - you can use streaming services that you log into on the TV, or use Chromecast and Apple TV from your phone. The summer porch has a queen sofa bed and AC window unit. It is an insulated and fully enclosed porch. The windows open to make it feel like a screened-in porch and it has a lovely breeze. It is one of our favorite rooms, and there is a ceiling fan and space heater if needed. There are curtains to provide privacy and a connecting room to the dining room, that can also be used as a dressing room or for additional space if you have someone staying on the summer porch. Upstairs bedrooms have AC units, and there are fans for the rest of the house if needed. We have ample parking!
