Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the Southern Berkshires

Wilder House is a five-room bed and breakfast set inside a lovingly restored 1802 federal-style farmhouse in Sheffield, Massachusetts — the southern gateway to the Berkshires. We've kept every original beam and wide-plank floor, and added the modern touches that matter: fast WiFi, private en-suite bathrooms, 24-hour touchless check-in, and on-site EV charging. Come for a weekend, stay for the feeling.


Let Wilder House be your home base for experiencing the food, arts, and nature that make the Southern Berkshires a renowned New England travel destination. Just 10 minutes from Great Barrington, the Berkshire School, Twin Lakes Connecticut, the Appalachian Trail, and epic waterfalls, our guests enjoy beautiful accommodations in a walkable village setting.

"Brad, the owner, personally made sure I had everything I needed at night AND made an extraordinary breakfast that went by the name of avocado toast but was so much more."

ABOUT US

Wilder House was built in 1802 and has been home to more than 30 families across its 220-year history. In 2023, Brad Sanzenbacher and Jamee Herbert moved from Northern California to Sheffield and fell in love with this old farmhouse — and with the Berkshires community that surrounds it.


We bring the house to life today in the style of a vintage 1940s farmhouse, with rich colors, whimsical art, and cozy common areas to connect, create, and relax.


We're proud to be among the few family-owned inns that remain in the southern Berkshires, and hope you'll fall in love with our old house as we have.


Our location

Wilder House sits in Sheffield, MA — just 10 minutes from Great Barrington, near Butternut ski area, Twin Lakes CT, and some of the most beautiful stretches of the Appalachian Trail in New England. We're also an easy drive from Tanglwood and other regional attractions. Whether you're here for the fall foliage, a winter ski trip, a summer arts weekend, or spring hiking season, Sheffield puts you in the middle of it all.
