About this house rental
HYDRANGEA HILL - It doesn't get much better than this for style and proximity. Hydrangea Hill (circa, 1898) is located on a quiet street less than a half-mile walking distance to downtown Lenox, and only two miles to Tanglewood's main entrance. The yard offers a garden atmosphere with a lightly wooded wetland area on the back and side. You'll recognize it immediately by the white picket fence curving around the front as the brick walkway leads you to the front door. The house features three bedrooms, each with quality linens and mattresses; one with twin beds, one with a queen bed, and a master suite with a king bed. You'll love the master bathroom, which features a Carrara marble top, double vanity, and large walk-in glass and tile shower with a spa bench. Without a doubt, the best feature in the house is the large open living space and fully equipped modern kitchen with all you need for a family gathering or for cooking an intimate gourmet meal. The farmhouse style table is 10 feet long and easily seats ten-twelve individuals. For movies at home or sports followers, you'll love the Samsung 65” Crystal Ultra High Definition TV and of course, WiFi throughout the house. On chilly winter nights, get cozy in front of an electric fireplace that offers both heat and ambiance. Other amenities include, a guest bath upstairs near bedrooms, a half bath on the main floor with laundry facilities, and an enlarged paved patio with (weather permitting) comfortable wicker outdoor seating, propane fire pit, and propane grill. You'll love the Berkshires and all that Hydrangea Hill has to offer.

It was a positive experience from beginning to end. The property owner, Alan was gracious and thorough in all communications. The house was beautiful and pristine inside and out. Alan’s attention to detail was extremely impressive. We had everything we needed and more!

We spent a girlfriend’s weekend at this beautiful home. Everything was perfect. Alan’s house is exactly as described and more. We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. This house is immaculate, decorated beautifully and well stocked with everything you need. My friends and I plan to visit again.

Great visit over Presidents Weekend. Conveniently located to many Berkshire attractions, which was key because our group was interested in different activities. The house was immaculate and comfortable for our group of 5. We may return this summer.

We met friends in Lennox for the weekend and this was the perfect house! It is decorated very tastefully, bedrooms are very comfortable and the well stocked kitchen with its huge island was ideal for gathering. We walked into town and were just short drive to hiking trails and other attractions in the area. The host was wonderful - communicative, flexible and genuinely wants guests to have the best experience possible.

Property was as described. Very comfortable for five 68 year young women who have stayed lifelong friends. Great kitchen with everything you need. Enough space to spread out. Lenox is visitor friendly and we contributed to the economy! A wonderful 3 day stay.

My family group (4 adults) loved our stay at this beautiful home. Communication with the owner was great; detailed and helpful info provided in advance. Check-in was easy. This older home has been recently and thoroughly updated with all of the conveniences, including a great heating and cooling system- we used both on our changeable weather stay. The rooms are tastefully appointed and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and patio; the wooded setting is lovely. This house is a great find and we would definitely stay again!

Perfect location for a Lenox wedding. Host could not have been more communicative or supportive. We hosted the rehearsal dinner--catered from a nearby restaurant. Everyone commented on what a great house we had found for the weekend.
5.0
We loved everything about this house! The aesthetics, comfort and location. It was perfectly sized for a family of 4 and within hours we felt right at home. Alan is a wonderful and generous host. We stayed over the new year and left us a bottle of champagne. The kids loved making hot chocolate and hot apple cider in the Keurig after a day of skiing. We have stayed in several VRBO homes, and we all agreed this was our favorite. Would happily stay here again. Thanks Alan!

We so enjoyed our short stay in Lenox. The house was beautifully decorated, CLEAN, and cozy. Alan, the host, was very responsive to our inquiries and even helped us secure an elusive Thanksgiving Day dining reservation (At the Red Lion Inn)! We walked to downtown Lenox numerous times for shopping and had delicious food at Alta and Pizzeria Boema. We also got pizza from Betty's Pizza Shack on our way into town (another Alan recommendation) and it was great. We visited the Norman Rockwell Museum and hiked in the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. Hopefully, we can come back for a summer visit sometime!

The owner is very detail oriented and as a result you get well acquainted with the house quickly. You feel right at home.
It is also in a great location so you can easily get to downtown Lenox, Stockbridge and Great Barrington. My family enjoyed our time there and the owner was just wonderful.

Great property, well equipped with everything you need. Quiet and cure neighborhood, walkable to downtown Lenox. Great weekend stay!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was as advertized and well taken-care off, and the owner was very proactive and supportive. Easy walk to downtown Lenox, and lots of other Berkshire cultural and leisure opportunities within a short drive.

All was as described. The owners have clearly meticulously thought of every detail. The real tell was that our daughter didn't want to leave! This is a beautiful property and highly recommended.

It's perfect. Lots of houses are clean, but this one is spotless. Even the baseboards, air vents, and ceiling fans are clean. Lots of houses have a few spices, but this house came fully equipped with coffee, sugar, olive oil, kleenex, and more. Lots of houses have adequate dishes, but this one has service for about 15 along with all the extra glasses and serving pieces to host a holiday gathering. The kitchen even included a blender and a slow cooker. The owner sent us check-in informatin well ahead of time, and everything worked perfectly. The decor was a perfect eclectic blend that offered seating for many people, along with little extras like throw blankets and a Bose bluetooth speaker. It is just the right blend of modern updates and old-fashioned New England charm (slightly creaky stairs and a Subzero fridge). The house is in an adorable neighborhood within walking distance of the little downtown area in Lenox. The only warning I might give is if you have folks with mobility problems. We had two folks who use canes, and some of the stairs were on the rickety side. They also have old-fashioned thresholds that stick up a bit in the doorways. Both of our people did fine, but they had to be super careful on the stairs. It was lovely, and I heartily recommend it. It would probably be particularly adorable for holiday gatherings.

This is a wonderful house in the Berkshires. Everything was perfect - location, property, furniture, beds, TV. The host was attentive, sent detailed information and was easy to reach. The walk into town is about 15 minutes. Everything was just wonderful. We would return if we are in the area. We were with 4 people, but 6 could sleep comfortably. There are 3 lovely bedrooms. Great natural light in the house also.

Great Property and Even Better Service!
Alan's Lenox property is gorgeous and was just what we needed for a Memorial Day weekend in the Berkshires. He was also a fabulous communicator, and answered several questions we had quickly and helpfully. When we had a minor maintenance mishap with one of the bathrooms the house manager was also quick to respond and make sure we had everything we need!

For a recent family get-together, my cousin and her husband came in from Chicago, and our daughter came in from Boston. The pIan was to meet in Lenox, and I spent a chunk of time on the internet looking for the right house.
Anything that was less than good would have been extremely disappointing.
Not to worry. Hydrangea Hill is top notch, the owner was a pleasure to deal with, and we had nothing at all to complain about. The house is simultaneously impressive to behold and comfortable to spend time in. It has been beautifully restored and appropriately modernized, and it has an open-space layout on the first floor that is perfect for a group that shrinks and expands during the course of a few hours.
We were visiting in the off-season around the time that the NCAA basketball championships were in the final stages, and the big screen TV and seating arrangements made for a couple of enjoyable evenings.
Dining choices in Lenox included the hard-to-beat Bistro Zinc, and in Stockbridge The Red Lion Inn.
Although a number of historic homes and the like were not yet open, the Norman Rockwell Museum and the Crane Museum (in Dalton) did not disappoint.

Holiday in the Berkshires
This property is a perfect place to explore the Berkshires. Our family, my wife and 2 adult children, spent the Christmas holiday here and were very comfortable. Alan has an attention to detail that sets this vacation rental apart from most others. Everything was ready and well-organized for relaxing and enjoying our time together and the house is very comfortable.
We woke up to snow on the day before Christmas and enjoyed walking the snowy trails of Kennedy Park (very close). We visited the Norman Rockwell museum and toured the Winterlights of Naumkeag. Now we need to return in a warmer season to enjoy the rest of the Lenox/Stockbridge area.

Thanksgiving Family Reunion
Fabulous property that housed one group of our family (4 people) who celebrated this Thanksgiving as a family reunion get together with 16 of our family members who live all over the country from California, Oregonand Florida. The house was immaculate and a perfect place for gathering in Lenox. We loved it.

Perfect Birthday Weekend
We came here to celebrate a 75th Birthday and the location (close to shops - Lenox, Pittsfield & Stockbridge, attractions - went to the Mount, and restaurants - ate at the Red Lion, Haven, and Frankie's) was ideal along with the condition of the house and property. From the attention to detail in the furnishings to the accurate descriptions of the property to the detailed self-help binder left for all of the renters, it was a wonderful weekend filled with long-lasting memories.
Beyond all of that, Alan communicated to us before, during, and after our visit to ensure the weekend went well which is something you do not see often in short-term renting online!
We will no doubt be back.
