Wyomanock Farm

Our 75 acres is a wonderful, diverse mix of habitat, harmoniously integrated with our small farm. This land was the homestead of the very first white settler of the area, John Wiley, in 1787. The Wyomanock Creek is the backbone of this little valley.  Beaver have dammed the creek at several points to create ponds and other wetland features that support a diversity of wildlife including otter, moose and a myriad of birds, from osprey to herons.  This sanctuary is host to many uncommon native plants and plant communities. We would love to share it with you!

Your host, Thom, invites you to property to explore 75 acres of meadows, woods and water. Choose one of several sites either in the woods or open areas. You are also free to use our outdoor solar shower or take a dip in the cold pond!

Our location is convenient to the Berkshire Mountains, state parks, hiking and other attractions, including Ramble Wild tree to tree adventures and Jiminy Peak. There are a few miles of rail trail access just down the road.

We had an amazing time, and it was my first trip to the Berkshires, and it was magical. Peace, from the Pacific Northwest! --Kevin & AgnesFebruary 21-26, 2017   A wonderful place for a family ski getaway. Minutes from the slopes and very convenient. The house is very nice and clean, full of books and loads of toys for the little ones. We loved it for our vacation and are definitely coming back! Thank you for a great vacation house. We loved your book collection! Everyone found something to read! It's like staying at the library! --Joanna								February 17-21, 2017   K-K 4th annual family ski trip! We had a wonderful time! Enjoyed being able to all be together in one place and especially loved being able to eat together at 'home' and sit by the fire after kiddos went to bed. Thank you! --Staci & Seth								February 2-5, 2017   We had the most wonderful time relaxing in your beautiful home after two long days of skiing! The comfy beds, warm fireplace, and top notch tape collection kept us cozy and happy all weekend.

Family had a great skiing weekend with the warmth of your home. May the seasons treat you with many blessings. --Dick L.								January 12-16, 2017   Your home was the perfect weekend getaway for our group of friends here for skiing and sharing winter memories. The fireplace was wonderful, the kitchen well-stocked for us cooks, and the views and light from the big picture windows were a great antidote to the winter blues. We even heard a pair of coyotes on our last night here! You've made a very cozy and welcoming place in Whitman Woods! --Friends of the M. family--Megan, Dan & Stella								January 12-16, 2017   Whitman Woods was welcoming, warm and so well-stocked! Such a pleasure to settle in for a long weekend with kids and friends. And close enough to Jiminy Peak for our son to walk home while the rest of us enjoyed some night skiing. Thanks for thinking of everything! --The M. Family								November 22-25, 2016   Thank you - a wonderful stay! The thick snow made for a special quality in the scenery and the well-plowed driveway made it all easy. The house is very welcoming, comfortable and easy especially the fireplace and wood supply! --Jeanne & Gregor								November 4-6, 2016   Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home! We had a wonderful weekend. Your home in the woods is cozy, and was perfect . . . exactly what we were looking for!

Thanks again! --Rob & Beth								September 22-25, 2016   We have had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for the chance to enjoy your lovely home in the woods! --Terry & Lila								August 7-21, 2016   We enjoyed our stay at the house. It was very comfortable for all of us. Thank you for an enjoyable 2 weeks. --Elaine & Vince								July 16-29, 2016   We enjoyed a lovely two weeks at Whitman Woods. The house was perfect for the five of us (2 adults & 3 children). Thank you for the hospitality. --The H. Family								June 24 - July 8, 2016   Thank you for the use of your cabin during our stay in the Berkshires. We certainly enjoyed our stay. --Mary & Jeff								May 27-29, 2016   Five alumni from Le Moyne College (in Syracuse, NY) met up at your lovely cottage for an all-too brief reunion weekend. We sang, we hiked, we ate far too many hot dogs. It was phenomenal. This was such a great experience to get away from our respective cities. Thank you. --Andrew								May 14-18, 2016   Thank you for the house. The place was everything we wanted. Hopefully each spring we can rent from you. --Jeff								March 18-20, 2016   This house was just perfect for us! Thanks so much for your hospitality. The adults and kids all made themselves at home. We are already thinking about when we can come back next year! --The E. & R. families								February 18-21, 2016   Thank you so much! We had the most wonderful time. The house was absolutely perfect. It was so cozy and welcoming. It's been a while since we were all able to get together so we thank you for this amazing reunion! --A.H. reunion								January 15-18, 2016   Thank you for sharing your home with our family. Three generations were here -- everyone was comfortable. Skiing, hiking, laughing & sharing favorite memories. This will be a new one to add "a weekend in the Berkshires." --Laurel & family								December 30, 2015 - January 2, 2016   We had a wonderful time! When we got there we thought the house was amazing!!! Skiing was so fun; this house is so cozy. We love your house! --Whitney & Lyla								October 17-20, 2015   We had a terrific time staying at Whitman Woods. My sisters, their husbands and my husband and I enjoyed the hiking (although the trail was not discernible due to too many fallen sticks and, of course, the leaves), the fireplace, found some great things to do in the area -- e.g. Jiminy Peak, Hancock Shaker Village and dinner at Hops & Vines in Williamstown. My daughter and her husband and 2 twin 3-year old girls came for a visit and loved the leaves, the climbing structure, the toys downstairs and the book of poetry for kids. Thank you so much for providing this delightful place for our family get-together. We will have fond memories of our stay there for years to come. --Meg								October 10-12, 2015   Such a perfect place for a weekend getaway. The kids loved the toys (indoors & out) and we all enjoyed the beautiful, cozy place in the woods. --Haleh, Kiran, Michal, Dani, Itay, Guy & Naomi								September 26, 2015 - October 3, 2015   Another wonderful week at your great home! We love how secluded the house is and of course enjoy the quiet. --Manny & Colleen								July 11-18, 2015   I believe this is our 8th time at Whitman Woods. As always, it was a wonderful retreat from our usual busy routine in Boston. That said, we found plenty to do. We visited four museums (Clark, MassMoCA, WCMA & Rockwell), saw plays at Berkshire Theatre Festival and Shakespeare & Co., and hiked the trails at the Clark where we also took in a free concert. We dined at all our old faves and found a couple of new ones -- Haflinger Haus in Adams and North County Pastaria in North Adams. We love the location of Whitman Woods because it's so secluded yet equidistant from all the things we love to do. As always, we found the house clean and well-stocked. It's always a pleasure. --Anne & Ken								December 1, 2013 - March 31, 2014   Thank you very much for sharing your house with us. We had a great time and the kids say it is "their ski house." It is like a second home for all of us. See you next season. --Susana & Jeannette								October 11-14, 2013    Thank you for the beautiful home in the woods. The four bedrooms, large kitchen/living area were more than we could've asked for. We loved the fireplace and the fact that there was plenty of wood for a roaring fire was great! We loved the large deck on the cool crisp nights. We have been coming to this area for 40+ years and this is one of the nicest homes/most well-equipped place we've stayed. We hope to be back next year. Thanks again. --David, Sandra & Family								October 4-7, 2013    Thank you so much! We had a fantastic time in your lovely home. We have never felt so relaxed as we did this weekend. It is so peaceful and quiet here and was the best escape from our busy lives. We hope to be back soon! --Nick & Jessica & Friends								August 20-24, 2013    We had a really good time in your cozy house. We loved playing games and eating food on your deck. We enjoyed nearby Mass MOCA, Tanglewood and Mt. Greylock. Thanks for providing such a cozy and inviting home. --Jordan & Family								August 9-11, 2013    Thank you! We had a great time! Place is awesome for kids and families. We had four kids age range 2-5 years and they had a lot of fun. Well stocked play room and play structure outside; safe and fun environment; beautiful deck, location in the woods. Great time. Thank you. --Marjorie & Family & Friends								July 28-31, 2013    Thank you so much for for the stay. We enjoyed your cabin in the woods and spent most of our time out on the back deck. Even while we were out, we looked forward to the deck and a fire when the evenings got chilly. --Suzanne & Steve								July 13-20, 2013    Thanks so much for another great week at Whitman Woods! We always appreciate how clean and well-stocked the house is and how comfortable and pleasant it is as well. We did a lot this time -- plays at Shakespeare & Co., Berkshire Theatre Festival and Williamstown Theatre Festival, museum days at Mass MOCA, Williams College Museum of Art and the Clark, a free outdoor concert at the Clark, a day at the Mount and a day at Hancock Shaker Village. All recommended! Fave dinner places: Water St. Grill, the Olde Forge, and Espana.
