This house is amazing. The decor is beautiful and elegant, yet cozy and inviting. The setting is perfect. The amenities are excellent. There is nothing that you will want that isn't already in the house. Couldn't have been more comfortable in a 5 star hotel or my own home. The house was immaculate and extremely well cared for. The house is very close to all of the attractions in the area and very accessible to all of the main roads. The owners were very helpful and went out of their way to ensure a pleasant time was had.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

We (a group of 8 friends) travel annually to various destinations but this was our first VRBO experience. The home was immaculate, outfitted with many, many amenities and we could not have been more satisfied. The owner greeted us upon arrival to familiarize us with the house, which was very helpful. Would tell anyone that this home is not only gorgeous but very livable.Recommended for: Girls getaway.

We have rented several homes in the Berkshires before, but by far this was the best place. When we pulled up to the property all of us in the car said WOW at the same time. We rang the door bell and the owner greeted my family and me and gave us the tour of the house and all of the amenities, which blew us away, the photos don’t do it justice. The house was so beautifully decorated and comfortable; everything was new and clean. My wife loved the master bedroom and bath, and I really enjoyed the large professional kitchen. Our kids loved the house with the three large screen TV’s and enjoyed the property so much they didn’t want to go back home. The owners did a great job in providing every creature comfort that one could think of, we felt like we were in a private five star hotel. Nothing less than excellent.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+.

About the owner: The owner is a designer and builder of custom homes and interiors on the North Shore of Long Island. He designed and built this beautiful home and created a wonderful place to stay while visiting the Berkshires.
Why the Owner Chose Stockbridge:
Stockbridge Massachusetts is truly “New England” yet, just 2-1/2 hours from New York and Boston. The house is on two acres of park like setting with hundreds of pine trees, sprawling front lawn & gardens, and part of the Stockbridge Bowl lake community. Centrally located in the heart of the Berkshires, just two minutes from Tanglewood and 10-30 minutes from almost everything Berkshireian. The house is located on one of the prettiest secondary country roads in Stockbridge, with easy access all year round.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
World class five star accommodations…
The house was designed, built and furnished as a luxury home not your typical rental property, for people who appreciate the finer things in life and wish to stay at a place that provides upscale amenities while visiting the Berkshires.
