This home was a great vacation spot centrally located in the Berkshires. Convenient to shopping, grocery stores, museums, skiing, and even a beautiful lake it was a great spot to stay to enjoy all the activities in the area. The home was extremely clean and well maintained. There were lots of nice amenities around from plenty of movies, books and board games to a well equipped kitchen. It was a nice place for a weekend getaway and we hope to come back in the future for a longer stay.

Hi, Betsey, We so enjoyed your Pittsfield cottage--I especially LOVED the screened in porch. Our daughter Jennifer had the upstairs "suite" to practice her oboe and make reeds. My husband Jim thought having tivo was great! Anyway, thanks for having it so well stocked.
