- Tasteful, comfortable & tidy family Berkshire home located on the Housatonic River minutes from all the Berkshire offerings. River Orchard Meadow is a quiet riverfront property in the charming town of Sheffield offering a serene vista from orchard, fields to water providing a rural, yet upscale getaway for a family.
This well-decorated property has 3 bedrooms plus an additional fully furnished & finished basement queen-bedroom for an additional charge.

This sophisticated home is furnished with all the necessities and comforts to make your stay effortless and memorable.
River Orchard Meadow is a lovely setting with a flourishing vegetable and berry garden, new orchard (apples, cherries, peaches and pears) and a stunning fire pit to have evening gatherings. Our deck is outfitted with a charcoal grill and picnic table for 10, 2 large umbrellas, 2 large cushy club chairs and ottomans, and large outdoor fan.
We supply 2 recreational bicycles, 2 kayaks and yoga mats. There is an easy access 90-min gentle kayak route from the Sheffield Covered Bridge back to the property line.
