We really enjoyed our stay! The house was charming, clean and the perfect size for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers). We loved being able to walk to the village center which has a few 'gems' like Common or Garden Pub and Pleasant and Main cafe. Ellen was a great host-- friendly, welcoming and responsive. We would love to stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Ellen Lahr
I am a busy professional living in the Berkshires, and this is my full-time wonderful home -- except when you visit and it's all yours. I'm a big traveler and can point you to all sorts of off the beaten path destinations to explore!
Why they chose this property
This property is quite "New England"--it is a traditional "Sears Kit" house from the 1920s with original wood inside, tall ceilings downstairs and charming details. The front porch is my "deck," where I socialize and relax all summer, and that's where I see my friendly neighbors pass by most days.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location, and cozy charm. Did we mention location? Walkable and super convenient location!
