Set on a lovely lot, this small house is spacious and has two porches. The kitchen and baths in the original part of the house have been updated (the upstairs bathroom has a hand held shower head but there's no shower curtain and you have to be short to be able to stand up); the original living room has 19th century charm and is quite dark--but with some lighting. The more recently added living area is light and comfortable.
When we arrived, one of the porches and the living area were dank and, over the next few days there were many large fruit flies and a few spiders. Although there were new windows and screens in most of the house, they weren't clean.
The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are a bit hazardous but there are good handrails.
We really enjoyed all the nearby venues and events. Grace, the host, was responsive when we discovered that there weren't any potholders, and delivered a couple to us. Although the house is just off a fairly busy road, it was quiet and we all slept well.

We loved it: the converted house was lovingly restored and updated. Elegant, with all the New England farmhouse hallmarks (wide plank floors, six-over-six windows, original winter and summer kitchen fireplaces, large latched doors, and a winding staircase) updated with two full bathrooms and a large eat-in kitchen.
Close to everything we wanted to be close to. We will definitely try to stay here again!

A lovely home in a beautiful bucolic setting. It's everything one could want for a peaceful getaway in the Berkshires. Perfect location to be both in a quiet setting yet near cultural center.
Just wonderful!

Wonderful vacation cottage!
We felt so at home in Grace and Elliot's cottage. It was clean, warm and homey. The hosts were very responsive on the few occasions when we had questions. The property and walking trails are lovely, too, and proximity to skiing at Catamount was great. I would highly recommend a stay here.

This beautifully blended old and new home is lovely, spacious and well appointed for cooking, relaxing, enjoying the outdoors. It's situated on beautiful land in a great location. And the owners, Grace and Elliott, couldn't be more accomodating. We are looking forward to returning.

Great winter time escape.
My family and I had a great stay at the property. Communication was easy and the listing was accurate. The home was very spacious and well maintained including the kitchen and bathrooms which is always great to see.

Charming comfortable home
This property was perfect for our family of four on our ski vacation in the Berkshires, although it can comfortably sleep more guests. This historic home has charm and comfort. It contained all the necessary supplies for cooking and enjoying our time. It abuts the woods providing for lovely scenery. We would like to return.

Cozy tranquility in the Berkshires!
What a wonderful experience. We had the pleasure of meeting Grace and her husband who are lovely, kind and welcoming. The house was everything we dreamed of and more. We travel a lot and are often disappointed by rentals. This home was even better than the pictures. It was cozy and clean, authentic yet modern. We were seeking a private and quiet retreat, and this was exactly what we got. We had such a lovely stay and can't wait to come back to this gem. Grace is extremely responsive and thoughtful. Thank you Grace!

Charming Place Missing a Few Things
The house and property are charming. The kitchen did not have a coffee maker or enough glassware. Otherwise a delightful home in a great location.
Be sure to have dinner at The Old Mill restaurant right around the corner.

Quaint and Cozy
This place takes you back to the late 1700's early 1800's where one can visualize the way people used to live with the wide board wood floors and multiple fireplaces used for warmth and cooking. Updated and spacious it is a pleasure to spend time within. Water pressure is good, beds comfortable, central AC works like a charm. The location is near perfect within walking distance to South Egremont and a short drive to Great Barrington. Enjoy morning coffee in one of the two enclosed porches while admiring the landscaping. Wander around this period home and see if you can find the secret garden.

Charming house with tasteful furniture. Very clean.
This house is the perfect combination of many things. It is old yet modern, a hidden getaway but close to activities. We loved staying here and really enjoyed Gtrear Barrington.

Peaceful & Cozy
We spent a long winter weekend here and couldn't have been happier; the house has windows on all the walls so the light is beautiful which is very important to me. The kitchen and den are a great room where we spent all our time cooking, building fires and working puzzles (we challenge you to complete the Escher!) The beds and linens are very comfortable. The owners were very responsive when we asked for more firewood. I hope we can return to enjoy the house in another season.

Lovely home with lots of charm!
We couldn't have been happier with the accommodations or location. We had everything we needed to feel right at home and spent a couple of very comfortable evenings 'in' after a few full days on the road taking in the sights, restaurants and shopping. The vicinity is beautiful and there is so much more to do and see...we'll be back!

Nice home in the Berkshires
Hi! We enjoyed our stay at the house, the downstairs stayed very cool and it was a particularly hot weekend! However the upstairs was not really central-air-conditioned, it was a window unit, so it didn't stay as cool up there. Other than that, nice home, sweet owner! Our younger daughter doesn't like bugs and inevitably we did see a few in the house. Note: it smells a bit like firewood in the house, not bad, just a bit earthy.

Fabulous for a weekend get away
