Perfectly peaceful
Wonderful house with everything we could want. Absolutely loved the access to spices and condiments in the kitchen. Only reason we gave a 4 for location was because of how far we were from any restaurants/stores. Perfect location for people we plan to cook more of their meals.

Beautiful view
Came up to stay the weekend for freshgrass festival. The house was great and clean, updated appliances, kitchen and bathroom. The lake is very clean, but we didn't go in. We were able to watch a couple of bald eagles flying around the lake. Only concern was that the garage smelt like wet dog. Not a big deal because we didn't hang out in there but the odor was strong when you went in. Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area.

The house was very clean when we arrived. We loved the location.
There’s a lot to do in this area! The Berkshires are beautiful this time of year. Nearby Pittsfield seems to be going through a renaissance of sorts. Also, The Berkshire Botanical Gardens is a great place to enjoy gardens. Lots of hiking!

Beautiful setting, clean and inviting home
Spent a weekend to join up with college friends and their families. The house was spotless on arrival and there was ample room for everyone. The air hockey table was a great attraction for the kids. The setting of the house was lovely and very convenient to skiing at Jiminy peak. Thank you for accommodating such a big party!
