Berkshire Idyll

We stayed here for a long weekend and greatly enjoyed the river on the property and used the firepit. The location was great as we did activities at Zoar and the Mountain. We had a great time.

Great getaway

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was very comfortable and the owner was very responsive. The sound of the river right outside was delightful! The bathrooms are very nicely updated - a nice perk when staying in an older home.

Charming historic home perfect for ski weekend

Our group was 7 adults and 1 dog for a ski weekend and we were very pleased with our stay. The house was clean, cozy, well-stocked, and comfortable for all of us to cook, eat and socialize together. We loved the ample supply of board games, clean and modern bathrooms, the wood burning stove, and historic charm of the house. The host was very responsive and made it easy to contact him if we needed anything. We would absolutely consider this property again when visiting in the future.

Super Cozy

This place was perfect. It was cozy and a little rustic, but clean with nice bathrooms. Everything worked and was easy to manage. Plenty of parking for our 4 vehicles. The owner/rental manager was kind and easy to get a hold of if needed, and the kitchen was stocked appropriately. Meaning, there were enough dishes, enough silverware, the fridge was clean and available, etc. It was a great space and highly recommend it to anyone considering a getaway.

October Visit

We loved the property! Our family, which included 2 very young grandchildren all felt comfortable in this historic home with 2 modern bathrooms. I loved the open kitchen and family rooms, and the original wide plank floors. Plus, we were happy to find toys to entertain the 3 year old. The owners were very gracious and responsive. Visitors should just be aware that the owners' unit shares a common wall with the house. Dog barking and sounds of their kitchen preparation were evident through the walls, as one might expect in an old house.

Weekend Getaway

My family spent Fathers Day weekend here and had a blast! We didn’t even leave the property - relaxed in the yard, hiked nearby and played in the water. The farmhouse was so cozy and relaxing. Plenty of different areas to be together or spend quiet time alone. We all feel recharged!

Wonderful family stay

This house was a wonderful location for a 3-day, 3-generation family gathering after Christmas. There was plenty of room for indoor relaxing, a comfortable, well-equipped kitchen for eating, an expanse of snow for fun with a 5-year old on x-c skis (as well as nearby x-c trails), and a nice outdoor fire pit. We very much appreciated the high chair, portable crib, and the toys in the corner of the living room.

Weekend Getaway

My family stayed here for a long weekend and it was amazing. The house had everything we needed and was such a comfortable place to either be together or find a corner and relax alone. The views are amazing and the kids loved to play on all the land and the stream. We were busy from sun up to sun down and didn't even leave the property. And we are coming back fully recharged.

This place was perfect for our group of ten. We were looking for a house in the country near Berkshire East ski resort and this house fit the bill, just 10 minutes from the mountain. The kids loved the rope swings and the river running through the back yard. The host was great, he answered all of our questions in a timely manner and had the house ready for our early arrival. There’s not much cell service out here so the wifi calling saved the day! It was priced affordably, we will definitely be back!

Horrible

Upon opening the front door the musty odor overwhelmed us. The temperature in the home was 63 degrees and remained that way throughout the night. Upon contacting the owner the next morning I was informed that they controlled the homes heat remotely. The homes heat had not been turned on despite the fact that the overnight temp was 42 degrees. In fact, the heat did not even function in the home. This contributed to a very unpleasant stay. Additionally, due to the cold temperature and the presence of black mold two members of our party had to be treated for sinus infections after our stay. Because we were so uncomfortable during our stay I reached out to Evolve/Vrbo however, there was an obvious lack of concern for our health and comfort and a satisfactory resolution could not be reached. I do not recommend this property!! The windows do not function, it is not in code with the Massachusetts Department of health regulations and entirely unsuitable especially if you have young children.

Lovely reunion on the river

Myself, my partner, and a few of our long-time friends from different cities met at this lovely home in Hawley for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The property is absolutely beautiful - lots of trees, flowers, and hummingbirds - but the star of the show was the river. We made the short walk down multiple times a day to cool off in the little pockets of water and loved it. We were super comfortable in the house and had everything we needed to cook lots of meals, grill, and relax in the yard (or inside when when it rained). We met the neighbor (and her horses!) and the owner's family and everyone was super helpful and friendly. Absolutely recommend staying here! We'll be back for sure.

Stayed for a couple nights as a family of 5. The home is old and charming New England experience. We loved the Chickley River in the backyard, we played in it everyday sometimes twice a day. The property location was perfect, near the activities we had planned (rafting, mountain coaster). The host was great, and communicated well.

Farmhouse in Hawley

We really enjoyed our stay at Forge Hill Farm. The house worked out well as we had a nice day for hiking and a late Thanksgiving dinner that we cooked in the well stocked kitchen. Our poor rating of communication with property manager and check-in was due to Evolve not sending us critical information and is not a reflection of the quality of the house. The owner was very very helpful and responsive and helped us get into the house.
