The Kemble

The Kemble Berkshires is a registered Great Estate built in the 1880s for a U.S. Secretary of State and New Jersey State Senator - now newly renovated by Shared Estates with bright minimalist finishes and world-class amenities. The property features manicured landscaping with vast rolling views of the Stockbridge Bowl. Whether you wish to relax in the library room filled with books from the early 1900s, enjoy music in the music room, cosy up in front of one of the home's seven fireplaces, or share a drink with a friend at the private bar, you'll find beautiful spaces to enjoy whether in groups or solitude. 100% carbon neutral. Events of up to 175 are accommodated.

The Kemble is the top-grossing, #1 vacation rental in the Berkshires out of roughly 1,000 listings. The owner's previous property was featured in Netflix's "World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals" series.

The property offers a dining room (including a custom farmhouse dining table), a professional kitchen, an herb and vegetable garden, a fire pit, and expansive multi-level stone patios and decks. Events for up to 175 are permitted, and a tent is provided for rain contingency (from the first weekend in May to the third weekend in October), along with commercial kitchen items. Indoor walls are sound-insulated for privacy.

We provide an extensive list of amenities; for children big and small, there is a virtual reality gaming room, PS4 gaming setup, retro arcade, foosball table, ping-pong, board games, and more. Outdoors, you will find bocce, croquet, tennis and badminton equipment, large Jenga, paddleboards, kayaks, and more.

The Kemble Berkshires is an innovative social equity vehicle. Owned by 143 investors from Main Street and Wall Street through Shared Estates' equity crowdfunding model with investments ranging from $1,000 to $100,000, the property is part of a transformation that levels the real estate ownership playing field.

The Berkshires is one of the country's premier cultural centres and the Kemble is just steps away from many leading national institutions: Tanglewood (the summer home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra), Shakespeare and Company, The Norman Rockwell Museum, Edith Wharton's The Mount, Clark Art, Jacobs Pillow, and more. The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (the largest in the US), Kripalu (the largest yoga centre), and Williams College (#1 Liberal Arts College in the US) are all nearby.

The Berkshires is also home to a variety of outdoor destinations: Bousquet, Butternut, Catamount (the longest zip line in the USA), and Jiminy Peak.

Televisions can be found in most bedrooms. Fully ADA-compliant accessibility ramps, bedrooms, and bathrooms help ensure easy entry for all. Safety is our top priority, with discreet sprinkler systems, fire ladders, and more in every room for peace of mind for all guests. We provide popcorn, biscotti, teas, cocoa, candy, and more. A welcome basket of local goods and fresh-cut flowers greets your party.

The Kemble donates 1% of net income to The Lenox Library. You will find a variety of sculptures and original fine art installed throughout.
