The kitchen is fully equipped and great for preparing family meals. I loved the comfort of the screened porch, and using the grill and eating outside on the front table was also great! Loved being in the woods but found myself driving too much to get to various Berkshire attractions.

This is our second annual Father's day weekend. We're from Boston, but love the Berkshires. The house was exactly as billed. Lots of hidden amenities. Hopefully we'll come back here again if available. Monteray it's lush and the drive to Lee is beautiful. There are a couple of minor negative. We love dogs, but the neighbors have a dog that was an annoyance and kept coming by. We let him hang, and was just in the way looking at our food. No biggie but a problem for the owner. Also, the recycling bin is protected by a really heavy wooden cover on hinges. If you don't look to ensure it's all the way up, it can drop and hit your hand or your head. It hit my head and it was a but shocking. Neither of these should stop you from renting this place. It was great. We look forward to coming back.

Lovely home with spacious yard, great for families

We're repeat renters, a group of 3 families having a reunion in the fall. We love the house! Comfy and chic, it has everything. Located near great restaurants and day trips- we went to Lenox and the Mount. Kids love exploring the grounds and parents love relaxing by the outdoor fire pit. Great cook's kitchen too! The owner is friendly and accessible by email. Highly recommend!

I rented this house to attend a wedding in Beckett. MA with 8 of my friends from college. From the start, everything was really easy. Richard was really easy to communicate with and very accommodating (allowing us to check-in early and check-out late when our plans required some extra time). We brought our dogs and they had the times of their lives playing in the big spacious yard. The house is BEAUTIFUL both inside and out. They have everything you'll need -- the kitchen is fully equipped and if you forget to bring something the house will most likely have it. They even had roasting sticks for us to use for s'mores at the fire pit. I highly recommend this home for a trip to the Berkshires.

It worked out perfectly for our big crowd. Lots of bedroom options. Everything we could possibly need (although we couldn't find any pepper. LOL) Quiet and lovely yard. Definitely would recommend it.

Our group of 6 had a great time in the Berkshires and enjoyed plenty of space and beds in this Monterey home. It was more rustic than expected but spotless and nicely decorated. Unusual room set-up but we loved having a bed for everyone and multiple bathrooms. Seems secluded and the country roads leading to the house were long but it is, in fact, very close to everything you need. Highly recommend for a big group.
