Great place

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The house is perfect as is the pool. The WiFi is also very strong. It was easy to communicate with our hosts whether something went wrong with the house or something went wrong from our end. I highly recommend a stay here!!

Large enclosed porch and pool

Our family spent two relaxing weeks at this home on a heavily wooded hillside on a quiet rural road. We spent most of our time in the large porch and in the pool.This is a perfect spot to relax and and get away from the stress of city life. It is close to restaurants and other activities in Chatham, NY and Great Barrington, MA as well as Tanglewood. The home is comfortable and perfect for entertaining friends.
