Thank you Mickey! You were the best, too! It is clean and comfortable and very convenient to everything! And I appreciated that you enjoyed the plantings around my home, too! Thank you so much. I look forward to you staying here again. There's no place like the Berkshires and I'm proud to offer my humble home as a place for you to rest your head when you visit.

This is a very nice property with a sweet back yard for summer visits. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. The separate air conditioners were more than adequate for the heat and humidity. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. The host is just plain terrific, always answering questions about the area and making great suggestions about what to visit. It’s a very short trip into downtown Lee for restaurants and other needs.

The only thing I would recommend, they should get a smart TV. The beds were not super comfortable other than that everything's fine.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 11, 2026
I'm sorry to hear that about the beds. I've had positive reviews from others regarding at least 2 of the mattresses. One is Tuft & Needle and the other is Nectar. Those are both on the first floor. I've experimented to see which brand I thought was better. I think Nectar is the more popular one. I believe the other 2 mattresses are Sealy, and I've slept well on those, but I'm always happy to upgrade things as I can. I will work on that. Thank you for choosing my home Jim.

I have rented several places over the years. This is probably the BEST rental out of them all. The host is fantastic! She is incredibly helpful, reasonable, communicative. The accommodations were described accurately. Everything was very homey and comfortable. It was especially fantastic to have queen beds for everyone since we had adult couples. And bedroom options both upstairs and downstairs with full bathrooms for various needs. Everything was clean and tidy. The host also doesn’t require any chores! We were only asked to pull sheets off the bed if we had time - with no expectations that we had to. The neighborhood is cute and walkable with many local attractions within biking or driving distance. Beautiful flowers and large yard. Highly recommend!

Lovely house in the Berkshires

A great find for those visiting the Berkshires. A very comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood, close to key entertainment venues and restaurants, with tons of room for the two couples (with a bedroom left over). Checking in and out couldn't have been easier, and the host was extremely thoughtful.

Thank you Jose! Yes, it's very close to Camp Lenox. What a lovely venue for a wedding. I agree. My home is in a peaceful setting and an easy drive to/from Boston. It's funny, because there can be a parade going on very close by on Main Street, but it'll be very quiet inside and out at my house! It must be the vibe from October Mountain. I'm so happy that you got a lot done. There's so much to do in the Berkshires.

Thank you Will. It’s true. There are so many beautiful trails nearby! The nice thing about my home is that even though it’s close to downtown, it’s very quiet and peaceful here. Even when there’s been a parade downtown, you wouldn’t even know over here by October Mountain. It’s a whole different world.

This was the perfect house for a long weekend girls trip! Plenty of space to spread out and also a great gathering space for meals and late night chats. The house is truly adorable, with lots of thoughtful amenities for the guests. And it is close to many Berkshires attractions, including adorable downtown Lee.

This immaculate home is set in a quiet neighborhood close to all major attractions in the Berkshires. It is beautifully appointed and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals.

Charming Lee Home

We stayed in the Freckled Hen for a Ski trip with the family. The home was very clean and well maintained - plenty of amenities and totally comfortable beds and linens. The host, Nancy, was very kind, and took good care of us. She was a wealth of information about the area and good places to eat at and visit. Highly recomended.

Tanglewood Reunion

Nancy’s house was the perfect place for a Brandi Carlile Tanglewood concert reunion with long time college friends. The house was perfectly set up for us with everything we needed for a relaxing visit and proximity to Tanglewood (15 minutes away) was ideal. She was helpful with suggestions for local restaurants and day trips. I highly recommend Nancy’s home for a visit to the beautiful Berkshires.

Perfect set-up

We very much enjoyed our stay at Nancy's place. She was very responsive, and thoroughly answered all our questions. The property ha a nice back yard, and is on a pretty quiet street. It was less than a 20 minute drive to hiking, skiing, sledding. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was comfy. Our grandson loved "playing croquet" in the basement!
