Emma and Donna ensured we had a truly lovely time at The Residence. We felt so welcomed, and the property had everything we needed, from a kitchen stocked with appliances to the prepped fireplace and materials. The property itself is so blissfully quiet, and was perfect for us and our dogs to wander the grounds. Close enough to Stockbridge and Great Barrington to ski or eat, this place was a great fit for a chill weekend. Donna was so responsive when we had questions, and they were so accommodating when we needed to leave a day early. The place was way too big for one couple and their dogs, but the price and location made it a steal!

We met friends from Boston for a family friendly ski weekend at butternut. The house was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed cooking our dinners in, and the fireplace in the evening. Hosts were very accommodating, providing a pack and play and high chair for the infant in our group, and letting us check out late to enable a morning of skiing Monday. Thank you!

Great location and house. Thourghly enjoyed the time their

Very enjoyable. Cute that Donna had a little tricycle ready for our grandson

Lovely quiet and beautiful property. We all loved it…especially the dog!

Tucked away house in the woods ! A great escape from our busy urban lifestyle. Lots of trees, next to Chesterwood, and near hiking trails .

We had a great time. Donna was great.

We spent a peaceful four days in the cottage tucked away in the hills of West Stockbridge. Despite 95deg temps in town the surrounding trees and the house itself kept the heat off. There are window AC’s but we never needed them. This is a good choice for a couple or small family that is looking to unplug and enjoy each other. Cell service is minimal and the WiFi won’t keep gamers happy, but it was ok for us. Enjoy the environs, but don’t miss the eclectic collection of books in the foyer.

This comfortable home was just right for our group of 6: 2 adult couples and 2 teenagers. The woodsy setting offers plenty of outdoor space to enjoy and is convenient to downtown Stockbridge, Great Barrington and local cultural attractions. We would love to return!

This property delivered on all it promised. Deeply wooded but very close in to Housatonic, Stockbridge and Great Barrington. Donna, the property manager, was very helpful in getting us settled and answering a few questions. The kitchen is well supplied even for a larger group. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Many reading areas. The hammock in the yard is the most comfortable I have ever enjoyed. We loved coffee and cocktails on the deck, though the deck could use a refreshing power wash and refresh stain. The view is instant relaxation. There are some short lovely trails on the property. Would be helpful if each was marked. We lost two of the trails several times. I would look forward to more visits. Autumn will be beautiful. The cozy fireplace begs for winter's evening rest. If you love bird songs, sunlight through trees and hours of peaceful solitude this is the residence for you.

We have zero complaints, the place was great

What a great place to stay! The house is set in the woods and has so many hiking trails and a babbling brook. Inside was sparkling clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the bread and syrup that was left. The ping pong room was fun as well. We had a couple questions and Chris responded immediately. We would definitely come back here!

Quiet secluded cabin in the woods. Exactly what we were looking for. Great hosts, great location, clean rustic and comfortable

My family had a great time staying here. Chris and Emma were very responsive and helpful. We loved exploring the property and having roaring fires every night. The location couldn't be better for exploring everything the Berkshires have to offer. We will definitely be back!

We had a great stay for 2 nights at this house on large property. I booked this house hoping to ski, but also knowing that if we couldn’t ski we could do some hiking. The location was 15 minutes to butternut and 45 minutes to Jiminy peak. While my kids and husband skied, I took my dogs hiking at Monument Mountain. The caretakers were at the attached house while we were there, but that was fine. There was plenty of room at the rental, including a fireplace that warmed us up. Check in and out was easy. We hit Taft’s farm for Cider donuts, muffins and zucchini bread. All their recommendations were perfect. I would definitely stay again and would also consider staying when weather was warmer for more hikes.

Great little place on a unique property. Tons of trails to walk right outside the door. Very quiet and peaceful, nice place to relax. Third bedroom is small with only a full bed, so best for a kid. Properties are older but kept up, air conditioners in every room and the fireplace works which was a treat on a rainy day. Caretakers on site if you need anything. 10 minutes to Stockbridge, 2 minutes to Rockwell Museum, walkable to the river.

The property is very comfortable. It is a little difficult to find after dark the first time. Great 3 bedrooms! The pullout couch in the 3rd is not very comfortable for an adult of 2. Great WiFi, terrible cell coverage. 15 minutes to downtown Lenox, passing Tanglewood. It was very humid so bedroom airconditioners were used. Kitchen was fine, fresh flowers and homemade cookies awaited us! SIMPLE check out process, we followed directions in book, but hope we did enough.....

The house is a great layout in a great location near Lenox, Stockbridge and Great Barrington. The owner is very nice and helpful. Unfortunately the house had some bad odors that never went away and some of the furniture needs to be replaced.

Place was great, it was cozy and comfortable as advertised. We took advantage of the fireplace and the wood provided. It has good access to the Berkshires. Close by is Monument mountain which has a long ridge on a couple mile hike so we got lots of good views. Also, we went to wine festival at Chatham fairgrounds which was not far. Last, we rented a pontoon boat on Lake Pontoosuc in Pittsfield for a couple hours. Next time around we'll visit the Stockbridge Bowl, drive up Mount Greylock, and go to the Norman Rockwell museum.

Had a perfect snowy winter weekend. The house is perfect for cooking and hanging out by the fire. Would definitely go back!

Very nice home. Beautiful property with a brook that runs through it. We split with two families (w/ kids), and everyone was comfortable and cozy. We built a fire in the fireplace all three nights. Well equipped kitchen. Cable TV. Short, 15-minute drive to Butternut Mountain.

What a gem! 4 adults and 4 kids were comfortable and cozy in this woodsy retreat in West Stockbridge. With temperatures in the double-digit negatives, we were not able to explore the property as much as we wanted but the hikes that we were able to take were breathtaking and the kids LOVED exploring the woods and the creek. The house was a perfect fit for our group, whether we were hanging out in front of the fire, or the kids were playing board games in "their" room upstairs, we were comfortable and happy. The property has this great feeling of being super remote and isolated but being really close to all the area attractions all at the same time. The owners were extremely helpful and responsive every step of the way.

First off let me say that the owners are incredibly responsive to any question. We had a cable tv issue, which could only be resolved by the old unplug, plug back in method. It was also uncharacteristically hot for May and the room air conditioners as well as dehumidifier literally saved our vacation. The home is even more beautiful in person. We felt so relaxed there, that we decided to forgo our usual dinners out and eat-in. The cable stations are robust for we eat-in couch potatoes. I got to watch the French Open and professional golf, and the hubby watched his cycling shows on BEIN. Some places I'd recommend for eating, Once Upon a Table in Stockbridge for lunch. There's a chocolate shop located behind them with great gelato for dessert. We got take-out from The Brick House Pub in Housatonic, very close-by which was always excellent. For breakfast we went to Haven Cafe and Bakery as well as Spoon in Lenox. Also Pleasant and Main Cafe in Great Barrington is a nice spot too. If you have a dog, try Kennedy Park in Lenox. It's completely shaded and has short or long loops. And don't forget Taft Farm in Great Barrington for their fresh baked cookies and brownies.

My sister, cousin and I all want you to know how much we enjoyed your family home. With the exception of the saggy downstairs bed, (which has now been replaced!) everything was welcoming, comfortable and perfectly suited for our little gathering. We spent happy evenings before a crackling fire, sharing our stories, playing cards (have you ever tried Spite and Malice?) and making simple meals. Spring was on the verge of bursting forth. As a Californian, the abundance of water was a welcome novelty and I have a great appreciation for the boulders and stone walls that are found everywhere. So thank you for sharing your home with us.
