This Berkshire Sanctuary is truly a gem- we were so grateful to host an intimate family gathering to celebrate our nuptuals here. The house itself is beautifully decorated, pristine, and has everything you could need for a wonderful stay. The beds are cozy and comfortable. There are two big bathtubs to enjoy a relaxing soak ! The kitchen is extremely well stocked with excellent appliances, cookware, dishware and spices; my family was able to cook 3 big meals during our stay here. My favorite feature of the property is the gorgeous backyard with total privacy and stunning views. We had our marriage ceremony under the lovely trellis in the backyard. There is also a great variety of patio furniture to enjoy as well as a big fire pit ! If I could give this location more than 5 stars, I would. The communication with the host was easeful with clear instructions and she was available for any questions we had. She made the entire experience as stress-free as possible for us. The location in Richmond MA is a quick drive away to many beautiful spots. Definitely consider booking your stay here for a romantic getaway or for a family gathering. It has everything you could hope for in a VRBO rental. We were lucky to find it and hope to come back again !

Perfect Berkshire Getaway

Our long weekend in the Berkshires was perfect and this house made it possible. We were a multi-generational family staying with young children and the house was set up wonderfully for our party. We were able to enjoy spending time together in the cozy and welcoming living room, play games and enjoy the spectacular grounds. My two daughters were in love with the backyard and we had so much fun exploring and sitting around the fire. The kitchen was well equipped to cook in and the rooms were comfortable and well laid out. The location was fantastic just 10 minutes away from Lenox and 15-20 minutes away from Great Barrington allowing us to pop out throughout the day to wander in the lovely towns or go out for dinner as a family. We loved our stay so much we are already planning another and would definitely rent this house with both family or friends. Thank you again for such a fantastic and comfortable home we could not have been happier.

Perfect house for our group!

We rented Elise's house for our 43rd reunion of Young Artist Vocal Program from BUTI. There were 18 of us in attendance but 8 of us shared the house. The layout was PERFECT! The bedrooms are huge, beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were beautiful! LOVED the bidet in the master bathroom! The layout of the house allowed us to not have to be so quiet. Lots of great comfortable furniture and a huge kitchen and dining room area for our group. We sat out back our last night in the very comfortable patio furniture and had such a relaxing evening telling stories and reminiscing. Elise answered all of my questions and was very kind in her communication. We definitely will be back, hopefully in 2 years for our 45th reunion. Only suggestion is that more towels be provided. In addition to a bath and face towel for each person, some towels in the bathrooms would have been helpful and some extra pillows for comfort. The air conditioning cooled really well and having the fans was very helpful. Great internet too! Thank you Elise for a wonderful weekend, and thank you for the early checkin. It really helped since some of us had been traveling early that morning.
