Winter in the Berkshires

Berkshire County entertainment moves to warmer indoor sites in winter and continues uninterrupted in January and February. Berkshire County is a winter wonderland during snow ski season. But our Berkshire Winter entertainment goes way beyond the sleek slopes and downhill ski runs. We are sharing this New York Times Article written by columnist Mark Vanhoenacker. You can read the entire article by clicking the link at the bottom of our page which will take you to the New York Times website. Wishing you lots of snow and warm fires during this winter season!

For many, the Berkshire Mountains are inimitably tied to one season: summer, when the area's tandem blooms of high culture and cherished New England countryside draw a devoted global audience to this sparsely populated corner of Massachusetts.

Travel Guide:Berkshires

Traditionally, early September brings a frosty curtain down on this fair-weather communion of art and land. The region's snowy scenes may have inspired some notable James Taylor lyrics and the color of American literature's most famous whale. But by midwinter, Arrowhead, Herman Melville's former home, is open by appointment only, and Mr. Taylor's beloved Tanglewood sees more snowshoes than Champagne flutes.

Paul you are amazing and we are so grateful to know you! Please see below for our thoughts on our exceptional experience: We have had two tremendous experiences working with Paul. When we moved into the Williamstown area Paul was as welcoming as they come. It was evident early on in the process that Paul's expertise and services were at another level. Through Paul's remarkable guidance and efforts we secured the home we wanted at a great value. Ten years later when we [...]

From Dan and Gayle, Just wanted to thank you for handling the sale of our home. The photos taken by Paul were awesome. Thank you Sherri for all your hard work in preparing the brochure, etc. Thank you Carolyn as well for all your hard work in selling our place. There was one little hiccup regarding the "inspection" but we worked through it. Thank you all for making it happen!

July 18, 2012 Hi Paul, I don’t think that any of us can express our gratitude for all your hard work and persistence. It’s not been an easy property to work with, however, you stuck with it when many would have thrown in the towel. I’ll continue to recommend you to anyone in the Berkshires looking to sell or buy. Many thanks, [...]

Dear Paul: Last November Jim and I decided to start the search for a retirement home in the Berkshires. We really wanted to be within close proximity to Williams College, good healthcare, Tanglewood, and of course the great outdoors. We searched the internet for a good reliable real estate agency, and after reading favorable comments about your agency decided that we would visit Williamstown for the weekend and stop in to see if someone could be of assistance. We were [...]

Hi Carolyn, Well, we got through the closing, with drama rearing up even at the last minute! We just wanted to make sure you know how much we valued your agency, your assistance and your good humor throughout these weeks, that have quite probably seemed longer to us than to you. You did a great job for us, and we are grateful for your help, and glad to have worked with you. Regards, Bonita and Cliff Dec. 2009 [...]

Carolyn, I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for all your hard work and tireless dedication which made the sale of my home a great experience! Your character and personality is what sets you apart from the rest! I am in the process of moving and settling in at my new place but will be sure to give you a call when everything is situated. Thanks again for everything! Sincerely,
