Short Stay at a Great New England House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great old New England house. Even though we spent most of our time visiting a friend who lives in nearby Williamstown, staying in the house with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and comfortable beds really added to our overall experience. The hosts and property manager went over and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The yard that fronts on a cascading waterfall and rapid stream is absolutely beautiful. We hope to stay again.

Nice stay

Pros: The location was great and the property was neat. Having the creek and waterfall go through the property was really pretty. If the weather been warm my kids would have loved playing in the water! There was plenty of space and they provided plenty of towels and soaps. The kitchen had plenty of plates, cooking tools, etc. The owner and property manager were great with their communication. Cons: The layout was a little bit weird on the middle floor where you had to go through one of the bedrooms to access another bedroom. Also, the downstairs (living room/kitchen) was very damp and had a musty smell. It could have also been cleaned better as we arrived to find some cobwebs and crumbs. It wasn't anything that kept us from having a good time, but just a constructive criticism.

Great Getaway in the Woods

Stayed for a week and appreciated the solitude of the BGH, but also its proximity to Lanesborough and Williamstown. Great for larger groups looking for multiple bedrooms and a common area to gather.

Charming house in great location

the house was as described with plenty of room for our family of four plus my mother, who joined us for most of the stay. the sound of the rushing brook was lovely. with the rains, there was a little dampness downstairs (kitchen/dining), but no serious issues. there were plenty of clean towels and extra blankets, and plenty of hot water. house manager was accessible and friendly. Wifi was great. my teen even played the piano!

About the host

I am a working musician, composer and journalist . I have rented our family home, the Berkshire Gorge House, on a short term basis since 2011.

Why they chose this property

We feel the cultural opportunities, natural surroundings, outdoor activities and 'get-away' location for visitors from Boston and New York City make the Berkshire Gorge House unique. We offer 15 acres of wooded forest, a natural waterfall and gorge on the Western slope of Mt. Greylock, the highest mountain in Massachusetts. The Gorge house was once the guest house for the Clarence Smith estate, now the site of the Bondhu restaurant. For more outdoor activities, check the popular outdoor theme park Ramblewild (https://ramblewild.com/) for hiking, zip-lines, tree climbing and forestry obstacle course. Ramblewild is 5 minutes from the Gorge House.

What makes this property unique

For history buffs, the nearby New Ashford cemetery boasts pre-revolutionary war gravestones. New Ashford was once the home of Crispus Attucks, a freed slave who was the first American to fall in the Boston Massacre which led to the Revolutionary War. New Ashford also has a schoolhouse dating back to the early 20th century, where the first national votes for FDR were counted and submitted in 1932, including the first woman in America, Phoebe Jordan, to register her vote.
