Cozy winter house with dogs allowed! We rented for proximity to winter sports and it was perfect, great location. Everything worked well, super clean and inviting, easy to figure out the space, cook dinner, curl up and enjoy a movie! Only regret not using the backyard - will come back in the summer!

Gorgeous modern house in a wonderful location. Three senior couples stayed in the house and we all thought that the property was exceptionally nice. The house was immaculate and beautifully furnished. Everyone enjoyed Lake Garfield and visits to the Norman Rockwell Museum, Edith Wharton’s Home, the Hancock Shaker Village, and Mount Greylock. We highly recommend the property.

This house in the woods is bother modern and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked and the great room (dining room and living room) has great style and comfort. The house was spotless when we arrived.This beautiful modern house is located on a wooded drive. There are other similar modern houses to check out, so this house feels private while not being too secluded.Location is also great with Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Lee and Lenox all within easy driving distance for shopping or restaurants.
Beautiful New England location, especially in the autumn.
A house up the road to provide a glimpse of the neighborhood. The cosmos were still blooming in mid-to-late-October.

Beautiful contemporary home in the Berkshires

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home in Monterey. The house is beautiful and well equipped, and the owner is extremely helpful and communicative. There had been a big snow storm right before our stay, and the owner went above and beyond to make sure the house was ready for us. Wonderful stay!!

Wonderful house, great location

We had Thanksgiving with family. Great kitchen. Enjoyed the wood stove and views of the woods. Nice big fenced yard for the dog. Our only complaint was that two of the beds had aero mattress which aren’t the most comfortable to sleep on. Overall we had a great stay and would go again.

Phenomenal

Without a doubt, the best short-term rental we've ever stayed in. It's really as good as everyone says it is. Exactly as described. Immaculately clean. Tastefully decorated. Uncluttered & well-stocked cook's kitchen. Very comfortable bedding. Great communication from a very friendly and attentive host. Overall perfect experience for a long weekend of skiing with our two teens. Will definitely be returning.

Upscale in the woods

Nothing was lacking in this beautiful home in a private wooded surrounding. The layout was great for all ages in comfort. The master en suite and powder room were great, leading into a spacious space housing living, dining and kitchen. The kitchen was roomy and well appointed with top scale appliances-everything you could need in pots , pans and down to the small items! The closed in porch let us feel the beautiful landscape indoors and the patio outside was perfect for dinner in the woods. The lake 1/2 mile down the road was a great asset and very well kept, with parking, a small sandy beach and lovely view. Howard was very responsive prior and during our visit and made the week very easy. The home is spotless, with sophisticated furnishings that were clean and easy to take care of. A perfect vacation- strongly recommend!

Peaceful treasure in the Berkshires

We had a wonderful 3 night stay! The house was immaculately clean and even nicer in person than the pictures. We visited Great Barrington, Lee, Lenox and Becket, which are all between 15-30 min away. The lake access is a short drive. We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding on Lake Garfield. Howard was a great and attentive host. He was very responsive to questions we had about the house and area. We would definitely stay again. There’s so much to do! The house is surrounded by woods and was very quiet. We loved the screened porch and making a campfire at night. We also enjoyed walking our dog on the street which was very quiet and safe for walking. Will be back for sure!
