The Meadows House @ Otis Ridge w/ 7-person hot tub
Relax in a beautiful mountain setting at this 4-season ski house within walking distance of the slopes at Otis Ridge Ski Area (the best ski area south of the Vermont border). In fact, the back-yard (actually a meadow full of wildlife and flowers) used to be part of the ski area and there are still remnants of the rope-tow on the edge of the property. The long-range views off the back porch are fantastic. The space This house has 3 bedrooms, , 4 beds, 2.5 baths, a pull-out couch in the living room, another pull-out couch and a pull-out ottoman in the walk-out basement, and an electric air mattress to sleep up to 8 people (no extra guest fee on the first 2 people of the group). There are large flat screen TV's in the living room, master bedroom, and the walk-out basement/game room (there's a shuffleboard table, darts, and chess/backgammon table down there). There's also a large deck with half of it covered and screened in. Enjoy a warm gas-fireplace in the living room, a real woodstove (with free wood) in the finished walk-out basement, or a soak in an outdoor 7-person Artesian Spas Grand Cayman hot tub with all the bells and whistles overlooking the meadow. If you're looking for relaxation, this place and the surrounding area can't be beat. Tons of great hiking, numerous lakes, and other attractions like the towns of Great Barrington, Lee, and Lennox (all about 20 minutes away), and popular attractions like Tanglewood, and Jacob's Pillow, just a short scenic drive away.
Guest access You will have access to all parts of the house, including a washer and dryer in the basement.
This house works best as a family retreat or a romantic getaway for couples. It does not work as a place to have large or loud parties as it is located within a quiet neighborhood and has new hard-wood floors. If you are considerate of other people's property, I would love to host your stay and share why my family grew up skiing Otis and why it is the best place to ski on a powder day, or just relax in nature any time of the year.

We had a great time staying at Lars place. The hot tub was very relaxing and the location was just what we were looking for to get away for a few days.
We enjoyed it! Five of us stayed for a quiet weekend away. The house was clean, comfortable, and as advertised. There was plenty of space and beds for us to use. The hot tub was great. I would definitely recommend it to others!
This house was just what we needed for a peaceful and relaxing long weekend. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was awesome! Couldn’t ask for a better place to prep for and recover from a half marathon! Lars is a great host.
My wife and I had a great time at Lars’ retreat. Everything we needed was there. The place was clean, easy to enter, and the hot tub is grand. I recommend this place !
The rental property was just as described online. We had a very relaxing time. We also enjoyed playing all the games provided. This is a beautiful location and very quiet area. We loved sitting out in the hot tub at night looking up at the stars. Really special experience.
We stayed at the Meadow House over Labor Day weekend. Lars was super accommodating to us and made sure we were taken care of. Really quick responses from him and he’s even working with us to return something one of the friends I was with left behind.
Definitely recommend this house if you’re looking to escape the city or go hiking near by.
the Meadows House was very comfortable. Now that there are more grandchildren than children we have outgrown our families lake house. The local hotels are never comfortable for our tall family. The Meadows house was perfect. Beautiful views I wish we had been able to enjoy the hot tub but it was a beautiful week and the lake was calling. we would stay at the Meadow House again. The host was very attentive and checked in (via text)during our stay which was nice.
House was exactly as described - beds are incredibly comfortable - especially the king in the master bath. Lots of kitchen appliances, plates, cups, silverware- everything you would need. Location is peaceful with an easy semi circle driveway for multiple car parking, if needed. The enclosed deck is a great compliment to the outer deck. The hot tub looked beautiful, but we didn't get a chance to use it. Lars was very responsive and clear. The woodstove was the absolute topper - nice and relaxing while watching tv with friends!
Great stay in a more remote part of the Berkshires
Overall, we loved our stay in Otis. The house was perfect for two couples - also had a kids’ room that we didn’t use. The place is small but laid out nicely. The kitchen was well-equipped, which is a big plus for us. The view of the backyard field was lovely. The location was great for us because we have family in Otis, but others should know that it is not especially close to restaurants and shows. We drove to both Lenox and Great Barrington with no problem, though. We also took a walk around the Otis forest and saw tons of mushrooms! The AC system was a bit complex if you are used to central air, but I was glad to have it in the bedroom at night. Hot tub a real plus. I would recommend for a family or small group.
We are two families that travel together every year for a long weekend. This getaway did not disappoint. It was a beautiful home with amazing views! We enjoyed watching the 6 inches of snow falling from the hot tub! The house was big enough for all of us. Four adults and 3 teenagers. The teenagers had a great time playing video games and we all enjoyed the shuffleboard table! We could watch different movies on different floors! We made dinners and there was plenty of room for all of us around the table. We took a ride to nearby Stockbridge and the Lee Outlets. We didn't ski this weekend but the house is right next to Otis Ridge Ski area. A short walk through the back woods and we were on the side of the slopes watching the skiers ski down the mountain. Our host was welcoming and responsive, he answered any questions that came up. With an impending snowstorm the night before our departure, he arranged to make sure the driveway and entryway would be cleared for us, and it was. We accidently ledt some clothes in the dryer and we called him and he said he would ship them to us!
We had a great stay at The Meadows over New Years with our group. Lots of room to spread out, the hot tub was a hit, loved the fireplaces, great location!
Had an awesome stay - Lars was very attentive , made sure we got there safe and made sure we understood how to handle his amenities from the wood stove , to the hot tub . Plenty of ways to keep yourself and friends entertained if you get tired and cold and want to just stay in .Very cozy place with nice peaceful views , will definitely come back again .
Excellent stays for our girls weekend. Plenty of beds for everyone that were very comfortable. Lots of common area space, big table so we could all eat together. Loved the natural lighting and view! Hot tub was great for relaxing at night. We would definitely return to this property again! I would also bring my family here as there is so much outdoor space for kids to run and play!
The property was clean and comfortable. Housed 5 XL guys all with separate beds. All had our own space. Plenty of room and fiber Internet, was a great place to stay and get away from the hustle and bustle.
The hot tub is highlighted for good reason - it's terrific. The house was fine, a little wear and tear here and there, but serviceable. The neighborhood is very quiet, peaceful.
We rented this VRBO for a short family getaway before our first grandchild arrival. Was looking for something big enough to house 6 adults comfortably and in a central location. Haven’t never been to the Berkshire before, this was a great find. Price was affordable and it literally 7-20 minutes from everything. We went to Jacob Pillow, the lake, great eateries, farmers markets. plenty to do locally.The house was clean, large and small enough to
