Live amongst the trees in this cosy house in Massachusetts, perfect for that well-deserved family getaway you've been craving. No matter where you are in the home, you'll have a delightful view of the surrounding forest, making this an excellent spot for a sense of rurality away from the hustle and bustle. Employing a passive solar design in its architecture, this home truly is at one with nature, in location and in layout. Step through the house to find the charming nook, adorned with authentic wooden walls and large windows that let the sparkling daylight pour into the home. There's a small dining table in a lovely spot by the window that gives you a beautiful view of the greenery outdoors – perfect for enjoying some peace and quiet with a cup of coffee. Spend your days unwinding on the patio in the heart of the forest as you cook up a storm on the barbeque – there's plenty of space for children to run around and play too. At the close of day, relax with a book by the blazing fireplace as you sip on a toasty cup of hot chocolate – the floor cushions allow the whole family to get together by the roaring fire. The town centre is a four-minute drive away, filled to the brim with a cafe, eateries, and pubs for all of your foodie needs. For trips out, there's Tanglewood, host to a variety of music events and performances, perfect for the music lovers, and The Mount, Edith Wharton's home turned historic house museum and cultural centre, is a short six-minute drive away. There is also selection of local museums and art galleries for the inquisitive minds. Your host is in fact in partnership with Phaidon, and as such houses a wonderful collection of art, culture, and music books, which you are free to peruse throughout your stay.

About Hudson Valley
While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The lush, ever-changing landscape is an attraction in itself, but the towns of the Hudson Valley offer a healthy dose of culture and history. This area...
