The home was comfy and spotless. The open area was perfect to prepare meals while socializing and enjoying the fire. Access to hiking trails was very convenient without having to drive. Excellent communication with the host. Cannot think of any suggestions to improve the stay. It was perfect.

We very much enjoyed our trip to the Berkshires. The homeowners were great to work with and very responsive and the house was close to town and the ski mountains. I recommend the house for families.
It was an amazing stay. There was plenty of space for all ten of us and the house was beautiful. We had a great time grilling and enjoying the fire pit outside. Overall it was a great stay and we cant wait to come back again.

My wife and I and some family members stayed at this lovely house for a nice weekend in the Berkshires. The house was clean and cozy and in a beautiful secluded setting. It was a wonderful stay and we’d certainly come back again.
This was a fantastic cozy home my and my sister's family enjoyed for several days over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was nicely equipped, the fireplace well used, and everything was very comfortable. The kid's room slept our 5 older teens/younger 20s quite well and everyone had a fabulous time.

Thanks, Aaron! So glad your two families had such a good time.
Our family of 5 adults enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at this private getaway home. Ben made sure we had everything we needed and the house was nicely equipped and very private. Proximity to Great Barrington was perfect and there were some great hikes nearby for all levels of ability. We appreciated the thorough house guide and checkout instructions.

Everyone had a great time and all the kids kept saying, "this place is a palace". The hosts were accommodating and responsive and their home was spectacular. Perfect visit. Thank you!

So glad everyone enjoyed our home. And how adorable that the kids thought our home was "a palace." We think of it as more of a "cozy" woodland getaway.
We had a great weekend in this lovely home. The location was perfect ! The house is surrounded by trees and has direct access to hiking trails. We went to great restaurants within a 10 minute drive and it is a quick trip into Great Barrington. The owners were thoughtful and quickly responsive to all of our questions. I would love to return.

Wonderful vacation home - highly recommended
We had a wonderful week long stay in this terrific home. The house is modern and yet charming, and every bit as nice as the pictures with great lighting and comfortable chairs and beds. The deck has a wonderful few of a meadow in front of the house and was a great place for grilling and eating outside. The owners were a delight to work with and accommodating hosts. We enjoyed hiking in the woods around the home and in several nearby parks, and Great Barrington is a short drive away. Overall, we have rented many times from HomeAway/VRBO and this home was one of the most delightful.

Thank you Peter for this lovely review. It was truly a pleasure to host you and your family. Hope you will return some day!
Great stay; lovely house for 7 of us; young adults and family!
We, two families with young adult children loved staying in this house over Indig. People's Weekend. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, beautiful with a "rustic vibe", roomy for the 7 of us, well equipped. We were able to hang out, play games, cook a meal and also travel 25 min's drive to Great Barrington, Southfield, and other locales for hikes, great restaurants and generally a great Fall weekend. Great, responsive communication with the hosts. We would love to return!

So glad you and your families enjoyed the house, Susan!
I have stayed at this house many times over the winter with my family who loves to ski. This was my first time renting here in the fall with a group of adult women, all sisters-in-law, who came to unwind and relax. This home was every bit as wonderful in the Fall as it is in the spring. We took advantage of local hiking, local shopping and local dining. Returning to a cozy, well appointed, clean, comfortable house was the cherry on top of our weekend stay.

Thank you Emily! It is truly a pleasure to share our home with you. Your lovely and enthusiastic appreciation means so much to us! Looking forward to hosting you again during ski season.

Couldn't have been happier. It's remote, but that's part of the charm. Dirt road to the property. 15 min. drive to shopping. Everything in the house was comfortable, in working order. Bed was comfortable, towels luxurious. Kitchen was well-stocked with staples. Loved being able to hike w/o having to drive somewhere.

Great stay for 2 families near Butternut Ski area for mid-winter break
This is a lovely home. Very secluded, yet close to town and Butternut ski area. We had 2 families of 4 with kids aged 4-7 - they loved having their own space in the upstairs kids room, while the adults enjoyed the kitchen opening into the living area with large open fireplace, and smaller family room off the kitchen for movie watching. The owners have thought of everything, and communication was great. Hiking trails start literally steps from the front door to explore frozen ponds, the fish hatchery, and all the secluded natural beauty that surrounds this home.

We’re so glad you enjoyed our home. Thank you for being such great guests.

The house is beautiful, incredibly comfortable, thoroughly and thoughtfully stocked (from kitchen to bathrooms, game cabinet, bedrooms and utility room) and in exquisite shape. We visited with our adult son and his wife and two young children, and ended up feeling that the house was designed with a family like ours in mind. The dorm-style Kids’ bedroom is a master stroke. We can’t wait to return.

Another wonderful winter season in Great Barrington!
We have stayed at this home several times with our family and friends to ski, hike and relax. Please see all previous reviews... it is a lovely place, stocked with all the things you could want and more. The owners think of everything and are on hand to manage any potential issues that could arise. They are at the ready with snow plowing, temperature control and great advice. We have nothing but wonderful memories from our multiple stays at this home in the Berkshires.

About the host
Hosted by Ben & Monica Kim Roberts
We purchased the property jointly with our daughter and son-in-law, who wanted easy access to Ski Butternut where their two kids were in the racing program. They asked us if we wanted to go in on a place with them and we began looking at properties together. We fell in love with the house at first sight. The setting was spectacular, the layout worked beautifully as a multi-generational retreat, and it was the perfect ski chalet base just minutes from the Butternut slopes.
Our initial plan was to rent regularly, but after one successful guest stay in 2018, we decided we loved spending time there so much that we wanted it for ourselves!
After the 2020-21 ski season, our kids decided that their oldest child, who is showing great promise as a racer, had outgrown the program at Butternut. We agreed to buy them out of their share of the home, and that has led to our plan to once again offer it as a rental. We love hosting and are excited about the opportunity to share our very special home with other families and couples.
