We had a wonderful mom-daughters trip to Williamstown! The space was very clean, comfortable, and in a fantastic location — super convenient to the college, local museums, and everything else we needed. One of the highlights was the large kitchen, which gave us plenty of room to cook and enjoy meals together. It was especially nice to have the large dining table for my son and his friend to join us for dinner. Everything about the stay was smooth and easy. I can't wait to stay there again. Highly recommend!

Clean & Comfy

We loved the location to leave our car in the driveway and walk to the shops, restaurants & the college grounds. The house was spotless with very comfortable beds & living room furniture where the 5 of us enjoyed our morning coffee & evening happy hours! The owners were very responsive which was much appreciated as there was a storm that kicked off the electricity overnight!

A delightful stay

I had wondered why so many reviews I read commented on the pristine condition of the cabin- but once we got there I understood well- the place is impeccably neat and well maintained. It’s a short walk to the Williams campus and 20 minutes to Jiminy. Recreation opportunities abound and Williamstown is a beautiful setting.

EXCEPTIONAL! The perfect base for Williamstown & Mass MoCA

Everything about our stay was perfect: comfortable beds, abundant linens, cozy shared spaces to spend time with old friends, a well-equipped kitchen, easy access to The Clark and Mass MoCA, and congenial communications with the Host. Spotlessly clean and very up-to-date. We will be back. A rare and wonderful find.

Well appointed cottage

We enjoyed our stay in this cosy cottage with so many thoughtful amenities. There are two bathrooms, AC IN ALL THE ROOMS, two tvs & DVDs, lots of children’s books & games , as well as many Movies. We appreciated being within walking distance of Spring St. Williamstown. The only drawback for us was the location on a very busy street. The stairs are challenging for older folks.

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay in this centrally located cute cottage. It was actually larger than expected. The beds were comfortable upstairs, but the futon was not very comfortable. This is really a house for 4 people. Hosts were very responsive and checking in was easy. We did note a few minor things that prevented this from getting 5 stars. There were ants in the kitchen and bathrooms, the AC units are REALLY loud, and we bumped our heads many times on the beams upstairs. Luckily, we are all of average height and slim because this is not a house for tall or larger sized people. A moderately overweight person would have a difficult time fitting in the upstairs shower. This was also the only house we stayed in that did not provide basic toiletries--body wash, shampoo, or conditioner. Still, we enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the nicely decorated, clean, and spacious home. Thank you!

Simple, comfortable cottage

A clean, comfortable house that has the right mix of both feeling homey, and yet not like staying in someone's house. The host is very accommodating with amenities, and we had everything we needed. A little street noise for the front-facing bedrooms is about the only thing you'll need contend with.
