We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The house was spotless, exactly as described, and had everything we could possibly need. It is clear Venetia puts a lot of thought and care into making sure guests are comfortable and welcome. Everything was perfect, and we could not have been happier. We would absolutely recommend this property and would love to stay here again!

This was hands down the best rental we’ve ever had. So much bigger than it looks from the outside and my kids loved having the huge loft TV area to themselves. They loved fishing in the pond every day and we loved being able to access hiking trails right from the property. It is beautiful and secluded yet 5 minutes from Williamstown. Hoping to come back again soon!!! Thank you for a wonderful trip!!!

Myself, my husband, and our four adult children all stayed. The house had enough space for all of us. Everything you needed was already there! We had a wonderful time exploring Vermont, New York, and the Berkshires. We love the pond and ending our nights around the fire pit. Main Street in Williamstown was quintessential New England and we absolutely loved Images cinema.Great restaurants, and coffee all around!

We stayed at Venetia’s lovely cottage for a week, and that just wasn’t long enough! The cottage was well appointed and oh so cozy! We loved the secluded setting, yet we were close to everything we wanted to do. Going for hikes right out our front door was a bonus! And it was so peaceful to sit outside with my coffee in the morning and listen to all the birds singing! Venetia was so wonderful to work with. She was super responsive and so kind. We will definitely plan to come back sometime soon!

Perfect restful spot in the woods

The property was beautiful! The kids enjoyed fishing in the pond with their grandpa. The hosts were nice enough to let us have a small impromptu family cookout and were very helpful when we accidentally locked ourselves out. It was a great stay!

We stayed at this property for a wedding in North Adams and Williamstown, MA. The property was very clean and inviting. Beds were comfortable, and the layout was perfect. It was hot, but the AC unit in the living room kept the climate cool. The bedrooms had fans to circulate the air and provide comfort. We were tied up with wedding activities so we didnt get to enjoy the use of the property. There's a few restaurants right down the road into Williamstown. My husband took off early Saturday to bike at Thunder Mountain. The area was beautiful. And there's an adorable diner 3 minutes from the house: The Chef's Hat, where we had a great breakfast. Cleanliness and quiet are my most imprtant qualities, and this property met both. Venetia was very responsive and easy to do business with. Highly reccomend this property for anyone visting the Berkshires!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and well taken care of, and the pond on the property was absolutely gorgeous, such a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy nature. The loft upstairs was perfect for our guests and gave everyone plenty of space. Our host was incredibly friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had, which made the whole experience even better. Just note that the rental is on the same property as the host, but they were very respectful of our privacy. Overall, a beautiful and comfortable place to stay, highly recommend!
