A great place to stay!

My friends and I stayed here back in 2023 and as soon as we left everyone agreed we want to come back and stay here again. This house is so comfortable and welcoming, plus it is also in a great location. The owner was so nice and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Lenox Village

We had a wonderful time in the beautiful house in the perfect location. The only problem was that the ceiling leaked in one of the bedrooms during a very heavy downpour. However the owner checked on it the next day and made arrangements to fix it sometime.

Gorgeous home

We had a wedding in Lenox to attend where the host hotel didn’t allow children. We found this lovely home that was near all of the action we needed to attend. Carol the homeowner was very gracious in accommodating us. Our packing up process took longer than usual and she was very kind. It’s a very spacious home as well. Thank you!!
