Comfortable home with great amenities
We had a wonderful time at this home. The house abuts a working barn and we watched the horses and goats while having morning coffee. Also the lake right across the road is beautiful and we enjoyed kayaking there. Perfect for a family of 4!

Summer in the Berkshires - What a delight!
We just completed our second stay in this property and it was exactly as described. The cottage is roomy, clean, comfortable, located on a lake (we swam several times), and near other Berkshire towns and Upstate NY towns. We went to farmer's markets, biked, and hiked. I highly recommend it for couples and families.

Cozy house in the woods
Very cozy and clean house in the beautiful environment. Short drive to both Hudson and Great Barrington. The only negative was no heating during the night and the extra soft mattress, which was bas for my back. I imagine staying here in spring and summer is really enjoyable.

Great winter break vacation in Berkshires!
This property more than met our expectations. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We were able to access two different areas for skiing and snowboarding while also enjoying downtime in the cottage. Great Barrington was a 30-minute drive and fun for shopping. I would recommend this property and would stay again any time of year. Thank you, Jenifer, for creating such a welcoming and comfortable cottage.
