Claudia was such a responsive and accommodating host. Three cheers! Her sweet home has a glorious back yard leading down to the river with lovely wild and cultivated gardens along the way, all in view from the charming backyard patio. Her home is a good size for two vacationers though wish there were more comfortable seating with good lighting to read. Everything in the house works, which is always nice. The kitchen is up to date and the decor is quite nice and in keeping with the house. The art throughout the house is very interesting. Many paintings were done by family members. Everything we needed was 5- 20 minutes away. We joined the S. Berkshire community center (10min) for a month to swim, we hiked Monument Mountain, the Kennedy trails and Ice Glen, among other walks. We walked (10 min) to dine on the front porch of the Red Lion Inn, had another two dinners under umbrellas on the street at Brava in Lenox (17 min), grabbed take-out from Starving Artists cafe in Lee (10 min) and shopped at Guidos and the Food Co-op in Gr. Barrington. We even had our dog beautifully groomed at Hair of the Dog in Lee (7 min) and his ear infection treated at ValleyVet (8 min). Nejaime’s, a wine, spirits and gourmet goodies shop, is a short walk away, too. We were lucky to be able to get away to the Berkshires during this challenging time and to feel relatively safer for a couple of weeks. Everyone took great care to wear masks, stay socially distant and offer hand sanitizers. We were actually happy to get the required Covid tests before our arrival In Massachusetts. It was a welcome respite. Thanks, Claudia.

The property is lovely and well situated. The backyard is amazing, and it’s a quick walk to the Main Street. The host was easily available and helpful. Would return!

Claudia is quick to respond to any needs. Property is lovely. The only issue I had which is probably just a personal preference. We would have liked a room for all of us to sit on a big sofa and watch a movie.

My wife and I spent a very enjoyable week at Claudia's house in Stockbridge. We cooked almost every day in the small but modernized kitchen and worked comfortably from the home every day. The town of Stockbridge is right down the street, along with basketball court, tennis courts, and a playground literally minutes walking. The back garden patio is amazing. We ate outside there every night and sat until darkness watching dozens of fireflies. It was quite magical. I also played the piano quite a bit. I'm an amateur, but it is easily the best sounding piano I've ever played. Definitely a perk for musicians! A few small notes that would make this even more of a fantastic stay: - The upstairs full bed is quite loud and rickety, and the windows are not really shaded. Also that mattress is very stiff (which we actually don't mind). Sensitive sleepers might want to bring a mask (or sleep in the twin bed room as we ended up doing). - There is actually quite a bit of traffic noise from the road the house is on, especially during rush hours. It was fine, and you don't really hear it in the back yard, but don't expect total seclusion. - The garden patio is one of the absolutely highlights of the house, but there are no lights out there. Would be great to string some up!

convenient walkable location to downtown Stockbridge. easy access by car to all Berkshire sites like Jacobs Pillow and Tanglewood.

I enjoyed my stay. The house is lovely and conveniently located. A short walk to the center of Stockbridge and short drive to Lee, Lenox and other nearby towns. Tanglewood is only minutes away by car. The lawn behind the house runs down to the river and is as beautiful as advertised. There's a Lovely spot to sit out back and admire the view, and the glassed-in front porch is a pleasant place to eat breakfast. While there is considerable traffic on Main Street, I did not find it to be a distraction. The house has central air conditioning, but the cool nights made its use unnecessary. Claudia, the owner, is friendly and helpful.

This was our first HomeAway rental. The owner was remarkable in her communication. The residence was perfect for us (two couples with children at Tanglewood) The home was warm, welcoming and comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms were roomy enough for us and the beds were fantastic. The kitchen was very well equipped. The dining room was lovely. The entire house was decorated beautifully. The front porch became our "gathering and eating" area immediately. It was great in the summer, but would also serve skiers quite well. It was great to be able to walk into Stockbridge! And the grounds were manicured all the way to the river. If we are lucky enough to return to this area, we will definitely seek out this property as out absolute first choice!

Lovely yard and AC was welcome on the one day it hit 90. A bit of traffic noise even before high season but not a deal breaker.

owner of this charming home was most accommodating and helpful. the screened in porch makes for a wonderful place to enjoy all meals. I wish the patio had been more accessible.
