We had a wonderful stay with two families for long holiday weekend. As advertised, beautiful house, very clean/spacious, perfect for kids and very responsive host.
We were 5 mature couples and enjoyed the home for a long weekend. It was clean, extremely well stocked, had comfortable space and great grounds with the pool. Our host was communicative and responsive.
We had a fantastic weekend at the house. Wonderful spot with a beautiful house and yard. It was perfect for our group of ten guys celebrating a low key bachelor party. Highly recommend it to anyone. Spectacular!
Cannot say enough good things about this property. It was the perfect spot for a family gathering and I’ve stayed in many home rentals but have never had one that was so thoroughly stocked — the kitchen had everything we needed by way of dishware and cooking utensils. It’s a gorgeous area - we know the Berkshires well but had never stayed in this part and so glad we were able to enjoy this home for the weekend! Host was super responsive.
The property and the house are spectacular and located in a beautiful part of NY which is close to Tangelwood. The pool was terrific for my grandchildren. It is a well stocked and spacious house for a family vacation.
We spent a great week at this house in Copake. Loved relaxing by the pool!! Well stocked, beautiful, clean house and easy/responsive communication with the homeowners.
A really stunning property on lovely grounds! We had a great long weekend enjoying the pool and good weather. Photos don't do the place justice, really high quality finishes throughout.
House and in particular the kitchen is really well stocked for everything you need. Would definitely stay again!
Beautiful property and wonderful location. I would like to give this home a 5 star rating but attention needs to be paid to the following: broken toilet seat in powder room, electric tea kettle encrusted with chemical deposits, top shelf of dishwasher broken and rusted areas on the edge of the swimming pool.
A beautiful, private location with pool, expansive views and lots of space, indoors and out. The home was very clean and comfortable and very well stocked. Plenty to do in the area; great for hiking, birding, and cultural excursions. But also great to just hang out at the pool or on the outdoor decks and listen to the birds. We had such a great time!Any questions were immediately answered by Maria.

We are delighted that you had such a positive experience and enjoyed the house and the surroundings. We hope you come back.
Maria’s house was incredible! Immaculately clean, great views, and more than enough room for our group of 9 to hang out on a rainy weekend in the country! The house is < 30 from Great Barrington, which is also a huge plus. Maria was extremely communicative, kind, and accommodating. Would definitely visit again!

Great Family Vacation Spot
This house was perfect for our annual Thanksgiving getaway which consists of 10 of us (all family, 6 adults, 4 kids). Really spacious, well-designed and just comfortable. Easily accommodated us - the kitchen area was especially great for cooking all weekend and just hanging out. And the grounds and overall location on the top of a hill made it feel like a great getaway.
Really nothing negative to say...perfect house.

We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed a wonderful gathering at our house. The house is perfect for gatherings of friends and family. You can hang out together and enjoy the amazing views of Berkshire mountains to the North and Catskills to the West or explore the many activities the area has to offer like skiing in Catamount or just go for a hike or snow shoeing. In the summer, you can enjoy Copake lake which is 10 minutes away and go boating, fishing or water skiing.
A gorgeous home on a beautiful property with amazing views. The owners were great. Very responsive and everything was better than advertised. 8 minute drive to catamount for skiing. 8 minute drive to bash bush falls hiking trail (a must see when in the area). Would definitely stay here again.
It’s trite to offer the superlatives that this place engenders however deserved they may be. Suffice to say there are not many VRBO’s of this caliber. There is very little that is not 5 star here. From the ample kitchen to the well appointed furnishings and luscious indoor and outdoor spaces, this is a primo rental. The host is best friend material on top.
This place has serenity and plenty of pizzaz. Exceptionally equipped, expertly designed and maintained,it has the feel of a luxurious resort.The location has views for miles and has both expansive lawn areas and lots and lots of forest. The heated pool kept the kids frolicking while the adults took in the view.. Cool touch the lawn has wild thyme in it which is fragrant when walked on. Heavenly.
My family of 9 (actually 3 related families all together) really enjoyed this incredible property. It was very big, beautiful, sparkling clean, and very well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The pool was a huge bonus. Maria and her husband made everything very easy and were extremely responsive both before and during our stay. This is the best of what VBRO and similar services have to offer. Can’t say enough good things to cover it! Will hopefully be able to return one day.
We spent a fabulous 4 days at Maria’s beautiful house in Copake Falls. The house is spacious, beautifully furnished, well equipped both indoors and out. We were 3 couples enjoying spending time indoors in the lovely well furnished living room, den, kitchen and dining room. The master suite is especially luxurious . The outdoor decks have excellent furnishing with a lovely lounging area and excellent dining area where we enjoyed our meals al fresco. The house feels very private surrounded by lovely acreage and a lovely inviting pool. Maria and her husband were available at all times to answer any questions that we had about the house . Driving around the beautiful Taconic Hills area was lovely. Our stay was extraordinary!
We had a great week here! Maria was very responsive before and during our stay. We arrived to a clean house where a thoughtful gift awaited us. The layout worked great for our group of nine…we gathered in the kitchen, around the dining room table, and in the sitting room; the second living room provided a perfect escape for those who wanted a quiet space to read or nap. The grill was clean and simple to use, the outdoor seating areas were welcoming, and the pool was refreshing with a beautiful view. The house was nicely appointed and well stocked with paper goods and other necessities (dish soap, bin liners, etc.). Plus a great area with a wonderful rail trail, hiking spots, and cute towns to explore. All around an enjoyable and relaxing week!

A fabulous time was had by all!
Could not ask for a better Home Away experience! From booking to check in to check out, the home owner was very friendly and easy to work with. He met us at his spectacular home, gave us a brief tour and answered any and all questions we had. The home is spacious and comfortable and beautifully decorated. Every window has a wonderful view and the home is bright and airy. The house is perfectly situated with loads of nearby activities. Bash Bish Falls, Taconic State Park, Catamount, boating on Copake Lake, apple picking and Great Barrington for those looking for a quaint downtown experience. Lots to keep my group of 11 (older kids and adults) busy for two days though we also enjoyed hanging around the house. All in all, a winning weekend:)

Beautiful secluded home - Perfect for family gatherings
This home was a great place for family members from NY and MA to meet up and spend a nice long weekend together.
The home was large, very clean and stocked very well! The open concept made it so easy for everyone to help out at dinner and not feel crowded. The dining area seats 10 easily. There are plenty of bathrooms for everyone to get ready in, without being on top of one another. There are plenty of bedrooms and even an office with a blow up mattress. The views from the house were great! The area is very quiet and secluded. The owners were fantastic and responded to all inquiries within a short period of time. Since they did not have anyone at the home prior to our arrival, they allowed us to arrive a few hours early and they were flexible with the departure time as well. We enjoyed our hike to Bash Bish Falls. We hiked in from the MA side which was much more challenging than hiking from the NY side. My family had a great time at this property and I would definitely recommend it for a large group gathering! My only recommendation would be to arrive during the day since the area at night is dark. We missed the left turn into the long driveway as we drove up the hill because our GPS told us we arrived! You just have to bear left at the fork!

We are delighted to hear that your family from NY and MA were all able to find a convenient place to meet and celebrate the weekend together and the house and the area met all your expectations.
My family of 4 adults had a lovely quick getaway at this house. It is large and well supplied. The weather was great for sitting on the deck and using the pool. As noted by other reviewers, the pool has some rust that seemed troublesome, but it was otherwise very clean and well maintained. We would return.
This house is perfect for a relaxing getaway in the mountains. There were 9 of us total in our group, including 3 children, and there was ample room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the property. The views from the huge pool overlooking the property and surrounding hills were stunning. The house is in a very secluded and quiet area but there is plenty to do within a short drive. Check in/check out were very easy and the owner was very responsive. Overall we had a fantastic stay overall and we will definitely be back!
The house was perfect for a large group, with multiple sitting areas, plenty of bathrooms, and a top notch kitchen.
It was perfectly situated about 8 mins from Catamount.
