My husband and 15-year old son and I stayed at the little blue house on the river bend in late November for 5 nights. We got some unexpected snow (8-10 inches). Snow shoeing at a farm was about 15-20 min away but we were too lazy this time around. The house was inviting--plenty warm, cozy, and what a view of the snow-filled trees and the river. It was a pleasure to be "snowed in". House is actually roomier than appears in the photos.
The location is very convenient--most things of interest seemed to be no more than about 15 minutes away (villages of Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Monument Mountain for local hiking, etc.). The fabulous Berkshire Bakery is just a few minutes away (they make their own gluten free pizza crust). Very quiet and peaceful setting. We all slept really well. House was very clean and well stocked with all that we needed for our stay. We cooked in some nights and it was a breeze. My husband appreciated the hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Mary was a delight to work with. If you are a couple, or small group, looking for simplicity, comfort, peace and quiet--and something well located and with a great view--then this is your place.
