The cottage was perfectly set up for a vacation with no worries. Clean and all the extras for anything you might need. Host communicated well about arrival instructions and helped us with finding things to do that were of interest to us. Everyone had a great time from parents to teens to even the dog!

This house Is a perfect getaway. The house is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. The host thought of everything to make guests feel at home with many thoughtful amenities. The outside sitting areas are perfect for relaxing. The stream across from the house is easy to get to, you can swim in it and the peaceful sound is a bonus. The host was especially responsive and check-in was smooth. We highly recommend this property.

The property was just as described. it is a beautiful home. The design was totally thought out with very good attention to detail. The house was super clean and very organized. Bed was comfortable shower and bathroom were great. All the little extras that the host provides are very sweet and meaningful. The host is very responsive with any questions you have. You can hear the stream when sitting outside which is so peaceful. We stay in vacation rentals multiple times a year and this was definitely one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the Berkshires.

About the host

Hosted by Libby Begin

Host profile image
Hi there! We are the Begin Family, and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to The Cottage at Quill Hollow.

While our primary home and family farm are located about an hour away in Suffield, CT, the Berkshires have always held a deeply special place in our hearts. With a passion for hands-on projects, renovating this cottage into a clean, modern farmhouse retreat has been a true labor of love for us.

When we aren’t hosting, our lives are beautifully busy running our homestead, which is filled with large-scale gardens, chickens, ducks, and our three mischievous resident goats—Honey, Twinkle, and Pepper. On any given weekend, you can usually find us baking sourdough, preserving homemade artisanal jams, or out in nature exploring.

We fell in love with Middlefield for its raw, untouched beauty and the rare chance it offers to truly unplug from the noise of everyday life. We wanted to create a space where families and friends could gather to experience that same magic, whether that means hiking to nearby waterfalls in the summer or hitting the ski slopes in the winter.

This cottage is our peaceful escape, and we hope it becomes yours, too. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope you make unforgettable memories during your time in the hills!

Warmly,
Libby & Ernie

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Middlefield because it offers something increasingly rare: a chance to truly unplug and immerse yourself in untouched nature. Tucked away in a quiet pocket of the hills, it gives you total mountain tranquility while still being a short drive from the dining, skiing, and culture of Great Barrington and Lenox.

What we treasure most is the slow pace of life and the deep connection to the land. We love starting the morning with fresh local coffee, spending the day exploring historic trails, and ending the evening around the fire pit. Above all, we love the personal connection to this road—having our family just down the lane at "The Cabin" makes this peaceful escape feel complete.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage at Quill Hollow stands out as a high-end modern farmhouse oasis that perfectly balances upscale design with total mountain tranquility. Inside, you'll find a sleek aesthetic featuring warm acacia wood accents and matte black hardware, paired with state-of-the-art amenities like a high-capacity hybrid hot water system, an LG all-in-one laundry setup, and a specialized UV-sanitizing fresh air purification system. We take mornings seriously here, which is why the cottage features a fully loaded coffee station—complete with a Breville Bambino Plus espresso machine and fresh beans from Barrington Coffee Roasting Company.

Our location offers the ultimate "digital detox," where cell service fades away to let you truly disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature. Outside, premium amenities like a Blackstone flat-top griddle and a cozy propane fire pit set the stage for unforgettable evenings under a brilliant, starlit sky.
