Built by Westinghouse and then part of a Vanderbilt Estate, and the first property in the world to be powered by AC electricity, The Playhouse is a renovated iconic Berkshires property that once served as a theater space for America's greatest innovators, with visitors from President McKinley, to Nikola Tesla and Lord Kelvin, and is now hung with fine art, and includes an in-house yoga studio, two kitchens, seven sleeping areas and five bathrooms; amenities include lakefront access (an 8 min walk), and the best Berkshire views. Come relax at this historic home under 25' cathedral ceilings, connect with friends and entertain inside (We have a Yamaha upright piano.) , or on the Victorian-style courtyard.

Summary: Our group of 13 women had an absolutely incredible weekend at The Playhouse. The home was spacious, with enough room for us to either all be together comfortably or to spread out and enjoy time doing activities in smaller spaces. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need and more. There were enough bathrooms and sleeping spaces for everyone. We loved that the dining room table was large enough to accommodate everyone for meals and games. We had great communication with both Daniel and Ashely before our arrival and Ashley was available when we had questions during our stay. No one wanted to leave and we are already making plans for coming again.
