This property currently has 40 "5-star" reviews on another rental home platform. However, because it had transitioned to a new management company (in April 2024), the 17 "older" reviews associated with that original property listing are unavailable for viewing on this "new" listing. Here's what some of our previous guests have shared:

"Lovely space. It was a peaceful and relaxing weekend. The fireplace gave a beautiful ambiance...and the whole house speakers were a big hit...There is a large firepit outside and lots of room to stretch your legs and play lawn games...One of my favorites!" (January 2024)

"A great location for a ski retreat. The house is large. There's actually like two houses in one! Ping Pong was lots of fun and the hot tub took away the aches of skiing. Beautiful location too." (February 2024)

"This is an extremely comfortable place with a wonderful kitchen. It's large with a main space and then an in-law apartment space with a separate entrance over the garage. We stayed in the main space, which has a slate heated floor living room (so nice), comfortable couch and good sized smart TV.

The house layout is a bit unusual, with the living room separated by the kitchen and bath by a raised hallway some steps up and some steps down and a raised loft above the living room. Two bedrooms on the main floor, one upstairs on the second. That said, it would be a very good layout for a family with kids or groups traveling because there is some decent separation between the bedrooms and living space (my kids would have loved the space). Super peaceful, pretty area, very quiet. It was snowing most of the time we were there, and it was very pretty to watch the flakes falling through the several large patio doors/windows overlooking the backyard." (January 2024)

"What a great space for our group of 8 including adults and 2 kids. Love the way the house has separate areas to divide people up a bit. Everyone, young and old, found a place to sleep and call their own, without worrying about noise or different sleep schedules. House had everything you could need to cook, clean, and relax. (January 2024)

"My family, including 2 young kids, stayed here over Thanksgiving, along with my parents and adult sibling. The house layout worked well for our group, especially the in-law suite for my parents to have some space. The large yard, paved driveway and heated garage with table games were great, especially for the kids. House was very clean and stocked with basic toiletries and plenty of kitchen supplies. The host was super responsive an even listed extra kitchen items we might need for Thanksgiving, which was so appreciated. The immediate area is rural and quaint with a lot of small farms, and there are a range of attractions and activities in the surrounding region." (November 2023)

"I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a tranquil stay in the Berkshires. We hope to return again. Thank you for a wonderful time!" (August 2023)

"We had a wonderful week here! The place is great, spacious and well-equipped. Great kitchen and grill for cooking. The pool was a wonderful amenity, plus basketball, ping-pong, shuffleboard and other games for extra fun! We improvised some badminton and volleyball in the huge yard, pulse there's a firepit for your s'mores fix! The inlaw suite was incredible--and useful! The wifi was flawless and there are Bose speakers throughout, including on the deck, for music. The owner was extremely responsive, pleasant and proactive...Plenty to do in the Berkshires, but don't be surprised if you don't want to leave the property!" (July 2023)

"The property has everything you can possibly need; it's clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The host was highly responsive and pleasant. This house, by far, has been one of our favorite, we can't wait to come back!" (July 2023)
