Excellent hosts and home

My extended family met in the Berkshires for new years and stayed in this beautiful home. It was convenient to everything we wanted to do but best of all was cozy and felt like home. Karen was exceedingly kind and generous with her time and we didn’t want for anything during our stay. We hope to stay again!

Great spot for familes

We stayed in Richmond over Memorial Day with another family, both of us with young kids. The house was perfect for our group, with enough bedrooms and play space for everyone to relax together. The pool was a bonus as it happened to be warm enough to enjoy and the adults enjoyed the fire pit in the evening. Location was perfect as we were able to easily explore West Stockbridge, Lenox and Great Barrington with just short drives, with easy access to restaurants, shops & playgrounds. Would happily come back.

Lovely house

Our stay was lovely and very comfortable. The house was beautiful and welcoming. There was plenty of space to accommodate each of the families staying for the week. The location of the house was accessible to a variety of amenities and restaurants. It was an easy drive over to Jiminy Peak and Ski Butternut. We had a small problem with the electricity and water but Karen responded quickly and we were able to resolve without any issues. We highly recommend staying here and would come back again!

fit the bill!

We were looking for a place rather last minute near butternut mountain to do some skiing with our friends and kids. This house was just great! Plenty of space for kids to hang out and stay busy while adults could hang and easy drive to the mountain. Karen was incredibly responsive and house was nice and clean and organized. Beds were all comfy and plenty of extra bedding if needed. We all had a great time and the kids are still wishing we were there! Thanks!

House was not clean. Pool was suppose to be open for the time we stayed, and pool company came and closed pool. Outdoor furniture dirty , property not kept up. Trash left in garage when we arrived, trash pails in middle of the road when we arrived on a Sat. Trash pail in kitchen dirty and frame around pails dirty-we cleaned. Told owner and she thanked us. I think if you pay for cleaning services in your fee, the house should be clean. Master bedroom, bugs-I realize it's the country, but on the floor were bait things, under table in bedrooms, hair ties, and other things, Who ever does the cleaning for this very nice owner -does a terrible job. Over all the house was nice and big. Everything we used in the kitchen needed to be washed. I suggest that owner makes sure when someone leaves that pans are left clean. Some people are pigs. Very disappointed when pool was closed and disappointed that the outside deck and furniture was not clean to use. Stores and restaurants are far away. If you go off season like we did, be prepared that most places are closed Sun thru Wed. Owner very nice., she did let us check in 1 hour before our time.

Great getaway in the Berkshires

A spacious and attractive house close to all the Berkshires has to offer. Plenty of room for our adult children and senior parents, large and well stocked kitchen and great outdoor setup made this the perfect place to use as a base while exploring all the Berkshires has to offer. Karen was great at communicating and everything was exactly as described in VRBO listing. We are all looking forward to coming back!

Great House for Families with Kids

We loved our mini vacation here! There was plenty of room for our two families (total of four adults and four kids, 6 to 12 yrs old). The house was very clean and organized, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the space. We had great weather, so we spent many hours in the pool, which ranges from 4 to 5 ft deep. It was perfect for both the kids and the adults. The kitchen had everything we needed, and there are a number of great restaurants within 10-25 min from the house. Karen was very helpful in giving suggestions for things to do and checking in with us to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!

You can come home again

Our family gathered from various parts of the country to celebrate the life of my mom who recently passed away. Having grown up in Richmond, this was ‘coming home.’ Following her service and based on the suggestion of our host, we purchased High Lawn Farm ice cream and had an ice cream social. Fun and delicious-she was a HUGE fan of ice cream! Our stay was lovely-truly a weekend our family will never forget.

Beautiful Home in the Berkshires

My family connected with two other families at this house for Easter weekend. The house was clean, stocked, and offered several spaces for the kids to have fun together. This home was kid-friendly and had a large side yard and fire pit for families to enjoy. Beyond a small oversight of toilet paper for the home, the house was well equipped - even with metal roasting sticks for marshmallows! Overall we had a positive stay in this home.
