The place is cozy, charming, and a perfect getaway if youre looking for something a little disconnected from city/suburban life. Very relaxing and quiet. Lots of great places nearby for food even if you have dietary restrictions. As well as great for hiking trails and site seeing. The hosts that run the place are very nice and accommodating and the experience was lovely. Great for having lots of family stay as well!
-Easy to find, right off the road, yet hidden. Couldn’t hear any cars driving by inside the house. -Quiet. The property felt like a tucked away camp site. -Enough space for our family. 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. -Beautiful grounds-The private waterfall and stream area are just spectacular. Provided us with hours of tranquility, exploration and fun. The water was a lot of fun, even though it was chilly and the weather wasn’t particularly warm when we stayed. -The communication with Elena has been very warm, open, and gracious…like talking with a very close relative.Wonderful place to spend a vacation with a family. Anyone who enjoys taking pictures of waterfalls or spending time near them will never want to leave!
Stayed for a week and appreciated the solitude of the BGH, but also its proximity to Lanesborough and Williamstown. Great for larger groups looking for multiple bedrooms and a common area to gather.
My family and I just stayed here for 3 nights and it was amazing! I didn't realize the age of the house when we booked it and it turned out to be a historic relic! Loved the cozy feel of this place!

Thank you for visiting, Christopher. Remember, the ski trails are nearby for a winter getaway. We hope to see you again.

This property was amazing. It felt like a retreat. The photos and desctiptions (internal and external) were accurate however I was not prepared for how lovely the grounds would be and how soothing the waterfall was. Our whole party enjoyed our stay. We had the perfect weather to enjoy the landscapes in the mornings and evenings. We would all look forward to staying there again should we be in the area
My friends and I rented this house so we could stay together for our reunion. Unfortunately the weather was cold and soggy so we were not able to really appreciate the surroundings but the view from the back patio is amazing. House was perfect for our group.
Our family enjoyed our stay at Berkshire Gorge house. The property manager has been excellent and very welcoming. She gave us some great tips and suggestions for trips and outings. The check-in process was very smooth. The house is in a beautiful location, and right next to a waterfall. Our kids had a blast swimming in the basin. Thank you for hosting us!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great old New England house. Even though we spent most of our time visiting a friend who lives in nearby Williamstown, staying in the house with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and comfortable beds really added to our overall experience. The hosts and property manager went over and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The yard that fronts on a cascading waterfall and rapid stream is absolutely beautiful. We hope to stay again.
House was located perfectly for driving on several nearby routes for seeing the fall foliage. Although house is near Rt 7. the sounds of the gorge in back help to mask sounds of traffic
Loved the sound of the gorge at night. Five bedrooms and three baths, a huge plus. Found everything we needed in the kitchen. Layout was a little awkward and not recommended for those who have difficulty with stairs but the five of us did just fine. The heating system was a bit loud but the house was plenty warm. The location was awesome and surrounding are beautiful. The location manager was super friendly and helpful. Overall, a very peaceful and nice stay,
the house was as described with plenty of room for our family of four plus my mother, who joined us for most of the stay. the sound of the rushing brook was lovely. with the rains, there was a little dampness downstairs (kitchen/dining), but no serious issues. there were plenty of clean towels and extra blankets, and plenty of hot water. house manager was accessible and friendly. Wifi was great. my teen even played the piano!

Thanks so much for the review. The weather has wreaked havoc on most properties, so i am glad you were able to enjoy. pass it on!

The house is old and quirky but it was clean and everything worked. The lower partially underground kitchen and living room are dark. The upper floors with baths and bedrooms are brighter and cheerier. The real,draw is the waterfall which after all the rain was spectacular and it’s totallly private. Be cautious going down though. The hill is steep and.uneven

Met your needs
Old homestead built a 100 years ago.
Needs some attention.
Water came onto floor in kitchen when it rained and we had to clean this up.
Two dehumidifiers in living and kitchen both witch needed to be emptied twice a day.
The placed worked for the four of us hikers and we would use it again if the need arises.
This is a rustic cabin with a non-traditional layout. We got used to having the kitchen and main living area on the bottom level, but it was dark even on a bright, sunny day. We did not notice any mustiness because we kept up with emptying the dehumidifier 2x a day. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms are spacious. Note that the yard and stairs in the cabin may be difficult to navigate for older people, and you have to be very careful going down the path to the gorge and waterfall. We loved the location of the property, which is central to so many attractions the Berkshires have to offer.
My friend and enjoyed a long weekend at the Gorge House for her birthday weekend trip this July, and we could not have been happier!! The house was presumably built in early/mid 1900s and has beautiful hand hewn exposed beams, wide plank wood floors and a feeling of history throughout. There is no shortage of books of all stripes in either of the library areas and board games. The back patio, overlooking the woods and a lower part of the small river, is an excellent place to relax with an evening libation. The property manager, Elena, is absolutely wonderful and a wealth of knowledge for the area. I plan on taking my husband & son as well as another friend group up to this house in the very near future. The waterfall and swimming hole are fantastic places to explore- just wear water shoes to make traversing rocks easier. I can't say enough, it truly was a relaxing, lovely home in which to shake off all the nonsense & aggravations of daily life. And the beds are comfortable, too!
A fantastic house in a fantastic area - perfect for families with kids who like to run around and explore. My wife, two boys - fourth and seventh grade - and me had been in cooped up in Boston during the pandemic, but The Gorge House was the perfect getaway. The house is spacious, practical, and charming. Best part is the backyard which is basically the state forest, including a waterfall right outside that we played around everyday and we also bushwhacked along the Green River. When we weren't enjoying what was right outback, we explored this beautiful region, including fun hikes with great reward-views at the end., followed by swimming in Lake Onota, which wasn't too busy, making it possible to socially distance. We also ate lots of local produce and enjoyed many scenic drives. The owners were also very responsive and friendly, and got back to us quickly whenever we had a question. Thank you for a great stay! We'll be back!
Pros: The location was great and the property was neat. Having the creek and waterfall go through the property was really pretty. If the weather been warm my kids would have loved playing in the water! There was plenty of space and they provided plenty of towels and soaps. The kitchen had plenty of plates, cooking tools, etc. The owner and property manager were great with their communication.
Cons: The layout was a little bit weird on the middle floor where you had to go through one of the bedrooms to access another bedroom. Also, the downstairs (living room/kitchen) was very damp and had a musty smell. It could have also been cleaned better as we arrived to find some cobwebs and crumbs. It wasn't anything that kept us from having a good time, but just a constructive criticism.
What a treasure of a historic home to stay in! We really enjoyed the back patio-and would highlight the proximity to some nice challenging hiking trails 5 min away, and the wonderful Five Corners store where we got breakfast every day. Feels deep in nature while also being close to town and activities. Thank you for a great stay!
The Gorge House is a charming, lovingly maintained old house in an ideal location for fun Berkshire activities - hiking Mt. Greylock, riding the rail trail, alpine sliding at Jiminy Peak, attending Tanglewood concerts, etc. The kids absolutely loved swimming in the gorge! The only downside is the musty, basement-y smell that pervades the entire house. It may have been accentuated by the hot, humid weather - and is clearly not an issue for everyone - but it was potent enough to be an issue for the members of our family with a more sensitive/keen sense of smell.
Excellent experience at the Gorge House. The house is spacious and has a lot of charm and character. It's a beautiful property and the waterfall is absolutely amazing. The whole place just has a relaxing and positive vibe to it. The hosts were great to work with - very accommodating. I hope we get another chance to stay there soon!
