Excellent stay in Great Barrington

We stayed here with 4 adults and 2 kids under 1 and could not have asked for a better experience. They had all of the things we needed for the kids already at the house, plus the location made it easy to hikes around the area and get to town and enjoy all that Great Barrington had to offer. Paul was prompt and communicative and the house was exactly what we were looking for our little getaway.Would definitely stay again.

Lovely Stay in Great Barrington

My husband and I and our almost 1 year old loved our stay in Great Barrington! The location is amazing- super close (5 min drive) to downtown and has gorgeous views, the neighborhood itself was beautiful. The house was perfect and so clean. The host was so thoughtful- knowing we were traveling with a baby the house was stocked with anything you would need (high chair, bath supplies, toys, etc) and they even offered local babysitters. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to come back!

very nice peaceful location with premium location

The home was in pristine condition. The kitchen is modern and clean and well appointed.Grounds are peaceful in a picturesque setting. The front porch offered comfortable seating and a porch swing that we enjoyed. Just wished we had bug spray . There was nothing else to be on our wish listfor this property had it all. Hosts were attentive and very welcomng.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the home, the peaceful setting, and especially the front porch swing — it’s one of our favorite spots too. We're so glad everything met your expectations and that you felt welcomed and well cared for. We also really appreciate your note about the bug spray — for future reference, we do keep some stocked on the guest beach/Tanglewood shelves in the garage. We'll be sure to make that location more visible for future guests. You were absolutely lovely guests and so respectful of the house — it truly means a lot to us. Thank you again, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Wonderful Home

We stayed here for 4 nights around Easter weekend and actually felt sad leaving! The house is beautiful and well appointed. Very comfortable furniture from the living room to the bedrooms. Our kids had a great time in the basement with the ping pong table. The outdoor space and the neighborhood were very pleasant with beautiful views of Butternut mountain. Very close proximity to town with shops, restaurants, groceries. We even went to the movies when we were there. We used the fire pit outside in the evenings and the owners provide lots of indoor and outdoor toys and games. Sitting on the porch was wonderful! It was nice to walk the hills of the neighborhood and even met some very pleasant neighbors! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook an Easter roast including a multitude of serving platters. The hosts were very communicative and great to deal with! Of all the VRBO's that we have rented this is one that we started planning ways to get back to before we left!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time during your stay. It’s great that your kids enjoyed the ping pong table and that you were able to make use of the fire table in the evenings. We also love that you were able to relax on the porch and take in the beautiful views of Butternut Mountain—it's actually our favorite spot to have coffee in the mornings! We’d be so happy to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

A True Gem in Great Barrington – Don’t Miss This Home!Look no further—this is the perfect home base for a stay in Great Barrington. We traveled with three young kids and couldn’t have dreamed up a better place. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how thoughtfully this home is cared for and how much love the owners have poured into it.The house is immaculately clean, beautifully furnished, and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable, joyful stay. Our kids were in heaven with all the toys, books, and lawn games—and we especially appreciated the extras like picnic chairs for Tanglewood, beach gear for Lake Mansfield, and cozy spots to unwind, from the swing to the Adirondack chairs.You can feel the warmth and spirit of the family who owns it—it’s not just a rental, it’s a truly special home. Every detail has been considered to make guests feel welcome, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful with local tips.The location is unbeatable: close to town, in a peaceful, picturesque neighborhood perfect for morning walks or evening strolls.We loved every minute and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Paul and family, for an unforgettable month in the Berkshires. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

Paul & Susan’s home was the perfect place to stay with family for a weekend in Berkshires. Great kitchen, excellent outdoor space, convenient access to downtown Great Barrington—it had everything we needed. The house was sparkling clean and host communication was always clear and timely. We’d gladly return in the future.
