We were only planning to be in the Great Barrington area for a couple of nights and needed a place that was comfortable and close to all the local places of interest. This home was perfect for our needs. It was close, clean, and our host David was very responsive. We'd definitely stay here again.

Cozy house near lots of things to do and see

This cute house was roomy, clean, had a full kitchen set-up and snacks on the counter, plus it was extremely quiet. It was a perfect place to getaway for a weekend, near the quaint village of Egremont and hiking trails. Special shout-out to Mom's Country Cafe for delicious and filling breakfast! Check-in/out and communication was easy. We enjoyed our stay!

My partner and I loved our stay. The house is spacious and has plenty of amenities. The wood stove was wonderful, especially since the outdoor temperatures dipped into the negative numbers. Once we got the fire going, the whole house warmed up quickly and stayed warm for hours after the fire went out. The tub was nice and deep, and the jets worked great to ensure a nice, relaxing bath. The location is private, only about 12 minutes from downtown Great Barrington, and is easy to get to when using GPS. David, the host, was really helpful, responsive, and easy-going. We accidentally left a few things behind, and he contacted me right away to make arrangements to get the items back to my partner and me. All the instructions he sent in advance were clear and accurate, and made check-in and check-out a breeze.

Ski Weekend Retreat

Davids's house was just as described. The location is very close to Catamount and made trips back and forth with little ones very simple. There is a ton of space with a family of 4, so it never felt crowded with all our ski stuff. A couple more chairs around the fire area would add to the charm. Housekeeping was easy to reach and helpful. We had a peaceful weekend away to ski.

Cute old house, easy drive to Tanglewood

Older house with lots of character. We were there during a hot and humid spell and the upstairs was on the stuffy side but we were able to open most of the windows and get decent ventilation. There is a mini-split with AC in the kitchen but we had a hard time getting it to cool most of the house. We were in the area for a concert at Tanglewood and it was an easy drive. Overall a great little spot just probably a more comfortable stay in the fall and winter.

Due to our overall medical conditions, was unable to stay at this house, due to the musty smell. Other than that was a great place and location. Just some people can't handle certain allergy triggers.

Rustic

It was OK. Very musty odor permeates the whole house. Has nothing to do with cleaning chemicals. Many trip hazards do to the way floors were installed such as at top of stairs and at bedroom entryways. Stairs steep and narrow at the top. One small TV in the living room. High traffic noise during the day. House is close to the busy road. Shower is very slippery with nothing to grab on to. Mattresses and bed linens are low quality and not very comfortable. Comforters are synthetic and don’t breathe. Noise travels easily throughout the house. If you are looking for rustic, basic accommodations, other than the musty odor, this is for you. Personally, I would not choose this house again.

Visiting the Berkshires during the holiday season

We wanted to rent a house in the general Great Barrington area in mid-December, and this is an outstanding vacation rental for the price and time of year. The house was clean and fresh, good beds, everything works, no unpleasant surprises. We would rent this property again. The owners did a great job with the instructions, rules and local interests. Anyone else renting this property, I'd want you to know that the driveway is VERY hard to see, we drove into the driveways of both houses on either side of this rental property before we could see where our driveway was. To be fair, 9 inches of snow had fallen the day before. I would want other renters to know that the entrance to the property is in the BACK (owners, take note), so you would not end up like tromping through deep snow to the front door and wondering if we are still in the wrong place, that having been missing from the instructions. I'd advise the owners to place a cheap show shovel in the lean-to out back where the broom was all we had to clear a way into the house, as long as the snow removers are running late (we arrived late afternoon). But you don't travel to the mountains in winter and expect everything, we didn't, and seeing this region with a fresh blanket of snow, all dressed up for the holidays, made it a great trip. - John

Great spot close to Tanglewood and other Great Barrington area attractions

David and Yasmin were easy to communicate with and had great recommendations for the area. We had 5 adults in town for a show at Tanglewood and we all (plus a dog!) found the house plenty roomy and comfortable. Area was buggy but we brought our own citronella candles and sitting outside was very pleasant - the sky was so clear and full of stars our first night! Perfect accommodations and location for our trip.

Not a suitable lodging for hot weather or aged occupants

The backyard was idyllic. Overlooking a dairy farm and wildflowers. The property was clean. However 5 towels for 4 adults for 4 was unsatisfactory. Ended up using ‘hand towels’ for washcloths. The shower/tub arrangement was negligent on the owner’s part. I’m 83 years old and there was a 24”-28” step over the side of the biggest tub I have ever seen to stand under a shower head from the ceiling without any non-skid footing. I had to use a local friend’s bathroom to bathe. I know that feature should have been disclosed prior to my renting. Please, the a/c was one wall unit in the kitchen. One fan available. We roasted upstairs. I had booked for a pet, but he passed away 2 weeks prior to our stay. No pets. Great winter rental for the young.

Great weekend getaway

This is a great location for a getaway in Western Massachusetts! The house is spacious with everything you need, the outdoor space is near perfect, and the towns nearby are picturesque. Yasmin was so friendly and responsive & the check-in process was smooth. We visited on a particularly warm weekend and were concerned because the property has no cooling or fans in most of the rooms, but found the farmhouse to be so comfortable even on a 94 degree day! We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return again!
