October Getaway

Review Submitted: October 16, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
This property was just what we needed, secluded, yet not far from anything we needed. Very quiet, and relaxing. Would definitely visit again. Cottage was very comfortable and just right for our family. The dog loved it here and especially the outdoors.

Lovely Cottage

Review Submitted: August 22, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
Cottage was lovely. Had everything we needed including a washing machine. Easy acces to great Barrington, Stockbridge and Lenox. WiFi in the cottage. Thankfully no cell reception (so work could not easily bother us) or cable television (so we were forced to interact, play board games and read).

Hosts are extremely helpful and nearby in case you need anything.

Thanksgiving in the Berkshires!

Review Submitted: November 29, 2010 Date of Stay: November 2010
We just returned from a FABULOUS Thanksgiving weekend at the cottage! What a great place to stay! Close to everything, shopping, eating, winery, etc.! Our dog loved the daily walks down to the water! We even saw a bald eagle!!! The fireplace was lit every night and we even roasted chestnuts! Having NO cell coverage, NO tv, NO internet (because we chose not too) was the best! We watched many movies and enjoyed reading and relaxing! I would highly recommend this place for a couple OR more! I think our next stay will include a few friends!!! Thanks Kathy & John!

Great Rental

Review Submitted: September 6, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
The cottage was exactly as listed and just what we were looking for. Cozy, quiet and comfortable. The weather was in the 90's yet the cottage remained cool both day and night. We brought our kayak and left it at the community dock during our entire stay. We met several families that own property in the neighborhood. They we all extremely welcoming and provided helpful day trip tips. The owner of the cottage was very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this cottage and Great Barrington.

A Comfy and Cozy Cabin in a wonderful setting

Review Submitted: January 20, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
What a wonderful place to stay at. This cabin gives you a hug when you walk in the front door. Charming and very comfy and cozy. The owners are some of the nicest people we have ever rented from. We would reccommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Our dog Spencer felt right at home and enjoyed walks around the area. The fireplace was wonderful. The bedrooms were so cozy and we all slept like babies in the high quality linens. For the gourmet cook, the kitchen is well equipped. The tiled bathroom showers were the best with the shower massager and great water pressure. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you Kathy and John for everything. We are looking forward to creating more wonderful memories at your cotttage. Truly a home away from home gem!! We could not have asked for more. Thanks again!!
