My (now) husband and I attempted to rent August Moon to share with a bunch of friends in spring 2020, which we obviously had to cancel. Fast forward 1.5 years after eloping in California and having our twins, we decided to have a real wedding celebration with family and friends, and knew August Moon was the perfect spot. The house itself is charming and elegant without feeling too precious to drag in some dirt and grass from the yard. As many wedding guests commented, the grounds are ideal for entertaining with multiple distinct areas to sit or play lawn games. We were able to host a morning brunch, wedding ceremony, cocktails, and reception all in distinct areas, and with plenty of lawn games to spare. The weekend itself felt magical and almost unreal. Many thanks to Jill for accommodating us and for being so responsive whenever questions came up. We can’t make it back soon enough!

Our extended family of 6 adults and 2 children (1 toddler, 1 infant) spent 10 days at August Moon in late August. The property is lovely, with several seating areas, including an outdoor dining area and a fire pit. There are walking trails through the woods. The kitchen is well-equipped and amply stocked. The beds were very comfortable. There is no air conditioning in 3 of the 4 bedrooms, but as it cooled off in the evening, the fans were enough to keep the rooms comfortable. Jill, our host, answered our questions promptly and was a pleasure to work with.

Lovely

thoroughly enjoyable stay

August Moon is awesome!! We loved every bit of it, and the property is spectacular. Wish we owned it

We stayed here for the weekend and did not want to leave. The house is a beautiful historic home with all the charm of early American architecture preserved and yet the convenience of a well equipped modern kitchen and a comfy entertainment room have not been overlooked. The style is true to the heritage with modern touches and beautiful art. The property is stunning and private, dozens of acres of fields, garden, flora and fauna to explore on foot and also to be enjoyed from every window. The stars at night are visible as you fall asleep from the master bed. Note, there are no window coverings in most bedrooms which I was worried about initially but it is so dark at night you really don't need them and it was lovely to have the sun wake us gently. Many activities and games for all ages including tennis, a see-saw, tether ball, horseshoes, board games. The stairs are typical of the period and might be more difficult to navigate for someone with decreased mobility. We look forward to a return visit!

We had a fantastic time staying at August Moon. My kids literally didn’t stop running around and playing in the multitude of different activities and toys - they were in heaven! The house has kept the old charm while being equipped with literally anything you could want! Beds were super comfortable and all of the rooms were so well set out - each with a different vibe and purpose. Jill was no more than a text away and the advance information for the house was probably the best I have ever received! My husband referred to the house as ‘life goals’ - so I suspect he’ll be asking when we are next going back?!

We had an amazing family vacation in this beautiful place. The kids loved to hide away and play for hours in the secret play room or wonder around the property to discover the enchanted tree house. The kitchen was so well equipped and it was great fun to cook family recipes for a larger group. We would love to come back in the summer when everything is in full bloom. Thank you so much for having us.

The house was so beautiful! Every room has so much character, the kitchen is wonderfully stocked and has bowls and pots and pans of every possible size. The master bedroom is truly stunning and waking up to the sunrise over the mountains was perfect. We would certainly go back!

We had a great weekend with a group of 8 adults, two infants and a dog. The property is in a great location with a ton of space and privacy while being close to things to do.

We got married at august moon and it was the perfect setting for our celebration. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and the home is cozy, stylish, and very comfortable. Thank you!!

Terrific place, wonderful host, lovely few days with friends.

We held our wedding at August Moon and it was amazing! The property is absolutely stunning. The gardens and grounds are perfectly manicured and the house is top notch. Every room exudes style. Jill and Trey have fabulous and eclectic taste. Most notably, their record collection, which we enjoyed listening to out on the patio. They were also super accommodating and easy to get in touch with. They provided us with robes, towels, bubble bath, shampoos, conditioners, face wash and lotions - all of which I will be purchasing to keep my house stocked with from now on! Whether you’re looking to host a snazzy event on the lawn (that your guests will rave on and on about), or you’re looking for a quiet place to relax/reset, this is the place to go. Would highly recommend! ***10/10***

Everything was perfect for our family of four. We each had spaces for privacy and the communal spaces were comfortable and well equipped. The location was ideal for hikes to waterfalls, local dining and shopping. We could not have been any happier with this home. Thank you so much for sharing your special place with us. It will always be a place we will remember.

It is a well-cared for property that abounds with so much possibility. Hosts are great and we will be returning.

My husband and I had our microwedding here and could not have been more happy with our stay. The scenery is absolutely beautiful in fall, and the house has gorgeous mountain views. All of our guests were in awe of how truly beautiful the landscape was. It was also great for our pup to have ample space to run around.In terms of the house, it was very well decorated and has a very homey, cozy feel. We felt instantly like we lived there! Everything felt very intimate and it was perfect for a small wedding. We truly enjoyed everything about this place and hope we can come back!

Wonderful property, even better than expected!

This property is more idyllic than it appears in the photos. You truly feel transported back to a simpler time when staying here. By the same token, the house has every amenity that you could ever want. We had 6 adults and a baby staying here and there was plenty of space for us to lounge. We also did a fair amount of cooking while there and could not believe how well stocked the kitchen was with pots, pans and utensils galore! Jill was an excellent host. We had a slight booking error and she did her absolute best to fix it for us. She was incredibly responsive and informative. The property grounds are vast and we all enjoyed roaming the property. We also enjoyed the fairly easy and quick hike to Race Brook Falls. One of the best parts of our stay was our intimate family dinner at The Stagecoach Tavern. Overall, we had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone.

This is a beautifully maintained house with lots of history. The spaces are comfortable with excellent decor. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need for a huge feast. It was cold, so we didn't get to use the tennis courts, but the grounds also feature walking trails through a wooded preserve. Stay here!

We absolutely loved this property! We usually rent through HomeAway a couple of times each year and this was the best property that we’ve stayed at in all of our experiences over the years. I’ve never wanted to visit a property again, but we will be back for this one. Thank you for sharing a wonderful experience!

Cozy and nice home in the perfect location for Berkshire mini trips to Lenox, Stockbridge, Great Barrington, Salisbury CT, Millerton NY for a stop at Harney & Sons Tea room, etc. Home is well stocked for cooking, lots of books to read, and ample property to explore. Remember you're in bear country...we were reminded. ;-) Lots of spaces outside to relax and take in the views which are especially nice in the Fall with the mountains as your backdrop. Stagecoach Tavern is walkable from the property or a 2 minute drive if you want a close dinner out but drive to Bistro Box if they're open...worth it! We loved listening to vinyl in the parlor with a fire going in the stove. I'd recommend using that one over the one in the front room which could be a little tricky to keep lit. I know it was mentioned this is a country home and there are some ladybugs. We swept up over 150 in 5 days. Nothing rescreening a few sliders and a little caulk might help with from our investigating. Heads up if you're with a larger group, be aware that the master has no blinds/window coverings so you're open to the side yard if the kiddos are out playing. No wearing your skivvies in front of the windows. Make sure you pull up a seat at night to look out those windows though because the stars are spectacular! Should we find ourselves in the area again, we'll definitely stay here again!

My friends and I had a great time at this beautiful old house. Property was so pretty. Only suggestion that I have is I would of preferred blinds or curtains to be able to close at night. Everything else was wonderful

August Moon is not only visually beautiful, it also conveys a warmth and charm that could only come from being a place that has been well loved and cared for over the years. Magical!

Sparkling clean ! Cosy, comfortable and quiet retreat. Everything you could ask for!! Our host was so attentive & friendly. Looking forward to visit again soon :)

We rented August Moon to host our wedding this summer and it was the best decision we could have made. The house and property are gorgeous and it was such a magical, meaningful place to not only have our wedding but to also spend the week relaxing with family and friends. Many of our guests commented on how spectacular the grounds were (the gardens are amazing!) and how peaceful it felt to be there. In addition to the grounds, the house itself is beautiful and cozy. Jill was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. I would highly recommend August Moon for an event, or just as a wonderful woodsy retreat for some R&R. If you have kids, this is also a fantastic rental - my 4 year old nephew may have been the most excited guest at the wedding thanks to the awesome toy room, tree house, and outdoor games.

Imagine a place that is beautiful, comfortable, and has everything any member of a multigeneratinal family needs or might want. This is it. The grandkids found the abundance of toys, swings and play spaces magical. Grandma enjoyed stolen private moments in the hammock as well as rocking in it with the baby. Their parents enjoyed the many beautiful outdoor seating areas that allowed for private times as well as family times. The proximity to the Appalachian trail was a big plus for the hikers in the family as was the piano for the musically inclined. On a hot week the non air conditioned rooms and spaces were very hot. This was only a problem at night as during the day time there were enough cool rooms indoors and shady areas outdoors for everyone to comfortably hang out.

The August Moon property was truly a magical setting for our wedding. The house, the grounds, and all the beautiful flowers could not have been a more perfect backdrop for our wedding and guests. Communicating with Jill was incredibly easy and she checked in via text during our stay which was appreciated. Everything exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to stay there again in the future!

This was our second stay at August Moon, and it was just as lovely as the first. The house has a beautiful kitchen for baking and cooking, incredible gardens, spacious outdoor seating, a “secret” toy room, and the wonderful ability to play music throughout most rooms. A great visit, all around.

August Moon was absolutely gorgeous! We couldn't have asked for a cleaner, more well kept, or magical venue for our wedding. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the property was and my mother just had to call their housekeeper to compliment how clean and tidy the house was.

We had a wonderful time at August moon. The house is beautiful, super clean and has everything you need and can think of, and more. And the outside- is just unbelievable. It is the perfect place for families with young children, indoor and outdoor toys, amazing tree house, fire pit- just haven for them. Jill, the host, was very kind and responsive and check in and out was super easy. Prefect place!

Jill's house was absolutely perfect for our family break. Our two young sons found endless enjoyment in the toys both in the house, and outdoors, and loved the space to run. We also took Jill's recommendation and did the hike to Race Brook falls which even our 4 year old could complete. The house was fully equipped and spotlessly clean. One of the best family friendly rentals we have used to date.
