Renovated School is Unique Airbnb Just Outside The Berkshires

Berkshire County is a popular travel destination bringing people to western Massachusetts from all over the world, but locals also like to take advantage of day trips and weekend getaways which can often be found within an hour of their front door.

If you're making plans for an upcoming weekend getaway you're definitely going to want to check out this amazing find about an hour from Pittsfield (an even shorter drive if you live in northern Berkshire County) in Shaftsbury, Vermont.

Featured on Airbnb and curated by superhost Caroline, this picturesque schoolhouse has been renovated into a relaxing oasis regardless of the season. The updated rental actually overlooks the host's family's 5th generation organic farm, providing visitors with a bucolic view of the 270 acre property

In addition to it's rustic setting and modern design, the schoolhouse also boasts a brand new deck to take in those views, plus the addition of a brand new hot tub and panoramic barrel sauna only adds to your relaxation.

The location also makes it a perfect easy getaway for Berkshire County residents. It's located about 10-15 minutes from downtown Bennington making it an hour drive for most of Berkshire County.

These photos make me want to book this place immediately for a winter weekend to help stave off impending cabin fever.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
