The property was immaculately clean. The location was a short walk to town. Great Barrington is a delightful town for shopping and dining. There were several comfortable sitting areas that were very conducive for conversation. Overall great property.

This property was beautifully styled and maintained. We truly felt like we were welcomed into someone’s home. The house was large enough for our group of 8 to spend time together and apart. The art, both inside and out, was quirky and lovely. The location is excellent for exploring the Berkshires area without being in the craziest parts of tourist activity.

The location and layout of the property are great--10 min walk to the shops and such of Great Bsrrington in one direction and lovely Lake Mansfield in the other--BUT before we checked in, we learned the dishwasher was broken and could not be repaired, and after we checked in I learned the cart to move the provided canoe and kayak to the boat launch at the lake was not available. This was actually a huge disappointment as my family and guests were looking forward to this activity. The host suggested affixing the boats to our car--it was a rental, not a viable solution. In addition, the toaster was not functioning and the host kept multiple refrigerators under lock and key and monitored our coming and going via security cameras while I empathize with wanting to be sure your property is safe and your renters are abiding by rules, the cumulative impact was that I felt as though I was renting from a host who was deeply ambivalent about renting his property. At the price point of this rental, I would expect an accurate listing and frankly, had I known that the kayaks and canoes were not available I wouldn't have rented the property. I'm giving 3 stars because the location and property itself was lovely.

I am very particular with cleanliness and this house was immaculate. Beds were extremely comfortable, property owner was extremely communicative and responded to us right away! The house was fully supplied with everything that I would normally be ‘schlepping’. Totally recommend a stay in this beautiful home!

We had a wonderful stay at the house. We were a party of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids) and we all slept very comfortably with lots of space to spread out. The first floor has an open floor plan so we were able to cook and spend time with the family simultaneously. The owner was super helpful providing detailed instructions and emailing us a list of things do in the area. She was easily reachable if we had any questions. She was also very understanding and accommodating with a last minute issue that came up for us. The house is very close to the town, restaurants and Butternut ski mountain. I would highly recommend staying there.

This is our second time staying here because the hosts have made every effort to ensure we enjoy our stay. Most importantly, the house is very, very clean. There are clear instructions and tips throughout the house. The furniture is comfortable. Great views and great location, too.

Ephrat's home is perfect for a large group. We had 11 people and everyone slept comfortably. The open floor plan is great for cooking and hanging out, and the backyard is peaceful. The beautiful views off the top floor balcony and from the backyard make this place a true gem. Ephrat and her husband, Benny, met us when we checked in and gave us a tour of the place. We felt right at home. You can walk to Great Barrington center (10 mins) and nearby Lake Mansfield (2 mins). We even took the canoe out for a spin on the lake. I highly recommend this property!

From the moment we arrived at this property I knew I made the right choice..Ephrat and her husband were there to greet us and show us around the house. The beds were comfortable and the rooms spacious. There were 6 of us and we never got in each other's way.
The view overlooking Great Barrington was beautiful. Up the road from the house was a very pretty lake. I'm sure it would be great in the summer. Great Barrington is full of great restaurants and was a nice town to just walk around.
I would recommend this home to anyone travelling in this area.

My family of 4 along with 2 other families of 4 enjoyed our stay in this very clean, functional home. Minutes by car from downtown Great Barrington and 10 minutes away from ski butternut makes the location ideal to enjoy various activities. In addition, Ephrat was a pleasure to work with.
Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I recently spent a rainy family anniversary weekend at Ephrat's house with our two grown kids, spouses and three grandkids. The house is sparkling clean, with lots of extras supplied like shampoo and paper towels, plus a well stocked kitchen, a wonderful view, lots of colorful flowers and a fabulous sunporch where we play lots of games since the rain did not allow us to use the nearby lake and take the hikes we had intended., The hosts have taken great care to make our experience there very pleasant and comfortable. In fact, Ephrat showed us what she called their "Tanglewood Kit" in their garage which included collapsible tables, chairs and umbrellas, the latter of which we were very grateful for when we went to a concert on the lawn, in the rain! We would definitely recommend this Berkshires Weekend Getaway home!

Ephrat was very welcoming and gracious, spending time to make sure we knew every detail of this wonderful property with great views. We made use of each of the coffee makers, so thanks for the instructions! All of the things you take for granted that were included in the stay (towels, linens, soaps, paper towels, etc, etc). The comfortable home was the hub for a 3 family get together and offered spaces where we could gather together as well as spots to spend time in solitude. The small lake is just a short walk down the hill as is the town of Great Barrington, very clean and refreshing. It was just a short drive to Lennox where we spent time at the Shakespeare Theatre, Norman Rockwell Museum, Daniel French property and walking around town. This home made our long weekend in the Berkshires very special, hope we can do it again someday!
