Romantic Berkshires Cottage - Stunning Views, Pool
This unique cottage--30' away from our home on a fenced, three-acre property--has its own entrance and its own parking space. The pool is shared with us, but you will have it to yourselves for most of the day--just ask for private time.
There are windows on three sides, a ceiling fan and a window fan.
The Berkshires in spring, summer and fall are alive with beauty, and we offer glorious views of the rolling hills and verdant meadows. Nature lovers, artists, writers and all who cherish tranquility will take particular delight in this unique spot.

It's an easy drive to all area attractions and great Appalachian Trail hikes. The area roads are also ideal for biking.

We were impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything is, including a decent-sized pool (which we enjoyed). The hosts are great: they are welcoming, prompt with replies, and responsive to needs big and small. Our stay was brief, but we had a great time hiking and enjoyed some superb meals out. An excellent choice for 2 in the Berkshires.
Beautiful, scenic, and cozy stay. We booked last minute after another guest likely had a change of plans, and Frederica was quick to respond and provide all the details for a smooth check in. The yard and pool were absolutely gorgeous, we were able to accommodate our small dog, and the room had everything we needed for 2 nights.
Wonderful location and setting.We loved the views from the heated pool.The host was very welcoming and easy to communicate with. Such a charming spot-very close to downtown GB and lots of beautiful hikes.Would highly recommend!

Colin and his wife were the perfect guests from start to finish. They were the beneficiaries of a few warm days prior to their arrival, so the water in the pool was nicely warmed up for them. Just a note to correct the record: the pool is not heated with electricity. It's in full sun!
Location, location, location! Finding this serene and pleasant studio was a stroke of good luck! The glorious setting with a view of the fields, forest and mountains in the distance couldn’t have been a better choice for relaxation, proximity to cultural attractions like the Norman Rockwell Museum and Tanglewood, unique shopping and food. Guido’s Gourmet Market and every possible tempting restaurant cuisine was just a very short car ride away.The magnificent and pristine pool in which we swam twice a day was the cherry on top! The large room came with a full-size bathroom complete with tub and the bed was even very comfortable.Frederica and Efrem, our hosts, were both very sensitive to our privacy yet always ready to offer good advice when needed. They generously provided us with great Expresso coffee, half and half, wine and peaches. What more could we ask in a vacation?We give this extra-special rental our very highest recommendation and will surely return as soon as possible!
Beautiful property right outside of Great Barrington. We loved exploring the Berkshires and enjoying the summer days by the pool. Would highly recommend!
It was an excellent stay overall. Particular highlights were the breathtaking views from the property, especially at sunrise and on clear nights, and the central location affording convenient access to all of the Berkshires.
Apartment was very quaint and peaceful. It was in great proximity to Great Barrington.

Marco and Courtney, Thanks so much. You've gotten us off to a good start! Best of luck with the renovations and if you need any further recommendations, just let us know.
We recently stayed at this lovely Berkshires cottage on Round Hill Road. The room was warm and cozy, with a nice kitchenette and a dining table. The views from the cottage were really beautiful, and we took several pictures. Since it was winter, we could not use the pool, but I imagine it would be even more lovely in summer when the pool would be open. I would definitely stay here again.
The place was beautiful, a very nice place, cozy and quiet, ideal to rest and disconnect. Everything was very well taken care of, with details that made the stay even more pleasant. In addition, the owner is very attentive and always aware of everything, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a great stay and I definitely recommend it. I hope to come back soon!
This cottage is like a very large hotel room that includes a desk and chair and a table that seats three, and a kitchen off the bedroom. There is no couch or stove, but my husband and I didn't miss them. We watched TV from the bed and the otherwise fully equipped kitchen--microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven, full-size refrigerator--had everything we needed for a quick breakfast in the morning. We also had some lunches there. The room is immaculate and cheerfully and tastefully decorated with bright curtains and matching tablecloth. There is a bureau and clothes closet for your things, and a ceiling fan and window fan to keep the room cool, plus heat if you need it for the cool Massachusetts evenings. The modern bathroom has a tub and was also immaculate. We enjoyed sitting by the pool on the chaise lounges provided, but as luck would have it, didn't use the lovely pool. Our hosts left us a bottle of wine and wine glasses. We are seniors and had no trouble navigating the few stairs (with railings) that lead to the cottage door. We hope to stay here again.
Very relaxing, bucolic location with an amazing view.
Beautiful swimming pool and grounds. We had everything we needed in our guest house, and
Frederica was a very responsive host.
We will try to stay here again on our next trip to Great Barrington.
We spent a pleasant three days in the area. There were many choices for hikes and restaurants, and we enjoyed good music at the Egremont Bar. The apartment was true to its pictures; the bathroom was clean and spacious, and well stocked. Many thanks to Frederica for her hospitality.Julia
Beautiful views from this adorable studio apartment. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Peaceful location but conveniently located .to Great Barrington..
The studio, set into the hillside below the garage, has an expansive view over the pool area and fields and hills beyond. Very beautiful and peaceful. Frederica is very helpful and responsive, and the studio has everything one needs. We were happy we had chosen this place, and would return.
Beautiful, quiet country retreat an easy drive from many cultural attractions! Large and airy, with ample room for two, it's an easy place to spend a week without feeling a bit cramped, with great views and a thoughtful host who provided many extras and was always available but respectful of privacy. Hope to return next year!
Frederica was very welcoming and was very helpful in pointing out local areas of attraction. The location was very clean and the views very serene. Very peaceful getaway. I would recommend without issue.
Absolutely gorgeous property. The views cannot be beat, especially from the pool. The space is cute and cozy, totally enough space for two. If you do nothing else on your trip, swing over to the Berkshire Mountain Bakery for a pizza and some ciabatta.
A lovely, private cottage with a beautiful view of the countryside. Very comfortable and cozy. It's great having a kitchen for not needing to eat out for every meal. Great walks are waiting for you outside the door. And there's a beautiful pool as well.
