If you're looking for a family cabin retreat, you've found it. We had a dream stay as a family of four with an in-law. The kids had a great time in a comfortable yet rustic setting. The hosts could not have been more responsive, but everything is set up to be very self-service. The fireplace (and firepit) could have been cleaned before we arrived, but there was plenty of wood and clear instructions. Everything about the stay reinforced that this is a family home, not just a rental company providing you the bare minimum. And when we left an item there, they went above and beyond to get it back to us. Wonderful property. Thanks!

A perfect set-up for a two-family skiing vacation, especially with the kids dorm area where they could escape the boring adults. The hosts were very good at communicating and we really enjoyed our stay there. Will definitely consider going back again next year.

Amazing Thanksgiving Get Away

This was a fantastic cozy home my and my sister's family enjoyed for several days over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was nicely equipped, the fireplace well used, and everything was very comfortable. The kid's room slept our 5 older teens/younger 20s quite well and everyone had a fabulous time.

Family getaway

Our family of 5 adults enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at this private getaway home. Ben made sure we had everything we needed and the house was nicely equipped and very private. Proximity to Great Barrington was perfect and there were some great hikes nearby for all levels of ability. We appreciated the thorough house guide and checkout instructions.

Wonderful vacation home - highly recommended

We had a wonderful week long stay in this terrific home. The house is modern and yet charming, and every bit as nice as the pictures with great lighting and comfortable chairs and beds. The deck has a wonderful few of a meadow in front of the house and was a great place for grilling and eating outside. The owners were a delight to work with and accommodating hosts. We enjoyed hiking in the woods around the home and in several nearby parks, and Great Barrington is a short drive away. Overall, we have rented many times from HomeAway/VRBO and this home was one of the most delightful.

A Favorite in Fall

I have stayed at this house many times over the winter with my family who loves to ski. This was my first time renting here in the fall with a group of adult women, all sisters-in-law, who came to unwind and relax. This home was every bit as wonderful in the Fall as it is in the spring. We took advantage of local hiking, local shopping and local dining. Returning to a cozy, well appointed, clean, comfortable house was the cherry on top of our weekend stay.

Great stay; lovely house for 7 of us; young adults and family!

We, two families with young adult children loved staying in this house over Indig. People's Weekend. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, beautiful with a "rustic vibe", roomy for the 7 of us, well equipped. We were able to hang out, play games, cook a meal and also travel 25 min's drive to Great Barrington, Southfield, and other locales for hikes, great restaurants and generally a great Fall weekend. Great, responsive communication with the hosts. We would love to return!

Wonderful place

Couldn't have been happier. It's remote, but that's part of the charm. Dirt road to the property. 15 min. drive to shopping. Everything in the house was comfortable, in working order. Bed was comfortable, towels luxurious. Kitchen was well-stocked with staples. Loved being able to hike w/o having to drive somewhere.

Great stay for 2 families near Butternut Ski area for mid-winter break

This is a lovely home. Very secluded, yet close to town and Butternut ski area. We had 2 families of 4 with kids aged 4-7 - they loved having their own space in the upstairs kids room, while the adults enjoyed the kitchen opening into the living area with large open fireplace, and smaller family room off the kitchen for movie watching. The owners have thought of everything, and communication was great. Hiking trails start literally steps from the front door to explore frozen ponds, the fish hatchery, and all the secluded natural beauty that surrounds this home.

Eureka!

The house is beautiful, incredibly comfortable, thoroughly and thoughtfully stocked (from kitchen to bathrooms, game cabinet, bedrooms and utility room) and in exquisite shape. We visited with our adult son and his wife and two young children, and ended up feeling that the house was designed with a family like ours in mind. The dorm-style Kids’ bedroom is a master stroke. We can’t wait to return.
