My boyfriend and I wanted to get out of the city for a last minute weekend in the Berkshires. We were lucky enough to book the Livestock Barn. It was so cute/clean/updated. We really can't say enough great things. The barn had all of the amenities as a hotel room, but much bigger and nicer. We brought our small dog to hike Mt. Greylock and there was plenty of room for her to play in the yard. We also stopped at some local farms and shops and enjoyed a relaxing weekend away. We hope to make it back again next year.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
