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. 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.



Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.

Stunning views and beautiful home.
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.

Family Reunion Weekend
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.

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.

Comfy lodge in the Berkshires!
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!

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.

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.

Perfect location; great host!
A lovely view and the location is amazing—close to many beautiful hikes and you can walk to Otis Ridge. Lars was a really responsive host (we ran out of propane on the grill and he replaced the tank for us; had to leave early for a family emergency and he was very accommodating). Hot tub was a nice treat, too!
