This is a wonderful home for a relaxed stay in the Berkshires. The owner is very responsive and check-in was a breeze. The house has a large, well-equipped kitchen as well as lots of space for spreading out. The location is excellent for exploring the Berkshires in all directions. Having access to a private swimming lake (with lifeguard) is an incredible bonus.

Everything was perfect. The place was spacious and we could spread out. There were very nice gardens and a small pond if you wanted to go for a short walk. The house had an interest architecture. There is lots to do in the area. A town beach, botanical gardens, Lenox and Tanglewood, as well as museums near by. We had a great stay and were very comfortable.

The Perfect Place for a Family Getaway!

This was an ideal house for our extended family vacation, very comfortable and in such a beautiful setting! Our group of two families with kids, plus Grandmother, fit perfectly during our five day stay. The kids loved the hammock swing in the great room / kitchen area, and the adults loved the comfort and ease of "feeling right at home." Becky was such an excellent, helpful host, and we had everything we needed. The property was beautifully maintained, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend this property, and would love to come back again some day!

Lovely and comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen. Lots of room to relax, inside and out. Decor was worldly. Close to Tanglewood but not close to grocery or foodery. General store close by. Communication was excellant.

Good. The owner was extremely nice.

Easy and nice to stay except Had difficulty to get in to parking in the snow because the house was up on the hill. My car was keep sliding down.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr, 2020
I am sorry our guests had trouble with the driveway. Living in the country during winter can be a challenge. It was snowing when the guests arrived, so that probably added to the problem. The guests did not contact me about the problem or I would have contacted my plowman immediately. When I arrived home the driveway was plowed, but I don't know when that happened. I'm glad our guests enjoyed their stay despite their difficulties.

Couldn't have been better!

Absolutely lovely home in the Berkshires. The open concept kitchen/living room was such a fun hang out spot for us 8 friends getting together for a college reunion! The house was sparkling clean, there was plenty of sleeping areas and extra bedding and a great kitchen to cook in, stocked with all the tools you might need! Becky went above and beyond being a great hostess by always promptly responding to my many emails with questions and calling to check that we were all settled in and had everything we needed. We used the lake pass and had a lovely morning spent swimming and relaxing on the sweet gem of a lake! Ooms conversation area is a close by and easy walk through beautiful fields around a pond. I would highly recommend this house to everyone and do hope to go back again sometime!

Great House

We stayed for 2 weeks and had a wonderful stay. Two adults and 3 kids, the house was beautiful and more than enough room. The grounds were beautiful too. We had a fire in the pit one night. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. Becky is very attentive and answered all our questions. Than you for an excellent stay!

Clean, quiet and enjoyable

All went very well with our stay in Chatham. We were met by the owners who were very easy to interact with and welcoming with their home. Please note this is actually their house - so needs to be attended to as it were your own. Large outside space and two car garage which are helpful when you have a few people staying on the property. Very close to where we needed to be for our weekend activities so that was a plus!

Home away from home

The house is in a beautiful and convenient location: it was so nice to be able to leave right from the house for a little walk in the snow, up the hill and across the woods. Breakfast in the kitchen looking out at the winter visitors to the bird feeders was a treat! It was also a quick drive to Stockbridge, to Edith Wharton's home and to the Norman Rockwell Museum that we all really liked!

Nirvana at the foot of the Berkshires

What a glorious way to spend two weeks from too warm Naples, FL. It could not be any more convenient to the Clark Museum at Williamstowm, ballet at Jacob's Pillow, Berkshire Theatre in Stockbridge, Tanglewood, races at Saratoga, Yale Museum in New Haven and the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown as well as the Fenimore Art Museum. The cool, crisp nights and mornings was a perfect way to start off our days of adventures. Becky and Bob were the perfect hosts. Sorry we had to miss the "Best Bottomless Breakfast Buffet" in town.

Spacious Country Home

Thanks for greeting us Becky and making us feel at home. Your home was perfect for our 7 member family gathering. We enjoyed hearing the frogs sing to us at night from the pond. The tulips and azaleas were bursting in bloom and were absolutely beautiful. The stars were so bright at night and it was quiet so you could hear the birds singing in the morning. Thank you for sharing your home.

Lovely Escape!

Becky was so sweet and showed us around as soon as we arrived. I came with 4 friends of mine and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Our favorite was the fire pit outside and when the sun went down we could see nothing but stars! In Brooklyn we don't see many stars so this was a really treat.The Milky Way was super clear. I know there is stuff in the area to do, but we stayed at the house and cooked and relaxed. Loved it!

A large, comfortable country retreat

We are a three generation family. Our son and daughter-in-law were in the US for a few weeks with their one-year old baby and we wanted a weekend in the country during foliage season, as our daughter-in-law had never seen the seasons change in this area. A few days away gave us all a great opportunity to be together and see the great foliage in early October. Becky was very gracious and generous with advice and information before we came. She secured a port-a-crib so we did not have to bring one with us. The house is very comfortable and spread out -- a much larger group could have been easily accommodated. In addition to the three bedrooms, there are two sitting room/dens which have extra beds or pullout couches. One of these rooms has a wood-burning fireplace and there is also a nice screened in porch. Outside there are well-tended gardens and a fire-pit in addition to lounging chairs and a hammock. Becky has a green thumb and even offered us a plant that she had grown from the many she had grown as offshoots of her large jade tree. The house is decorated very much as our own is, so we felt right at home, with touches from Mexico, China, and Ecuador. Nothing fancy but everything welcoming and lovely.

Hi Becky Thanks so much for sharing your personal home with my family. We enjoyed your beautiful relaxing yard and your country home. More than enough room for the whole family. Laurie

Wonderful stay... don't ignore the lake!

Even before we arrived, Becky went out of her way to accomodate our needs (details unnecessary). The house is open and airy and quite appealing to anyone who wants to take advantage of the regional attractions but still wants a place to retreat to relax and enjoy the country life. My family particularly enjoyed the chance to spend some time at the nearby lake, which provides both sun and shade, complete with lifeguards for the little ones. Oh, and Becky provides very good local information about where to buy groceries and other attractions... We will not hesitate to stay here again should we have the opportunity.

Arrived for a wedding in the area.

We had a lovely time staying at the house. My parents came down for a few days from Vermont, along with my Brother, Sister-In-Law and niece. So in all, it was myself, my husband, our kid, and 5 other people for half of the week, and we all fit comfortably. The kitchen is wonderful to cook in, as others can help, or congregate to chat. The property is nice to walk around, and hang around outside. We played crochet, played with the other yard games.

Good rental for families

We rented this house for a winter weekend to go skiing at Jiminy Peak. We were two families (4 adults and 5 kids) and the house was great in terms of room to spread out, enough options for sleeping arrangements, and all the kitchen items we needed to cook. The great room is ideal for hanging out together, eating, cooking etc and there is a separate living room with fireplace as well as a tv room upstairs, so plenty of space to send the kids off to play or watch a movie. Also a backyard with a pond which the kids enjoyed exploring. There is no tv reception, but you can watch DVDs on the tv, and there is wifi as well. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is on the rustic side (no dishwasher, for example) but I think this adds to its charm.

City-slickers getaway

Our party of eight, half from Boston and half from NYC, stayed three days at this property for our annual Thanksgiving feast. It was a great location for our get-together. The host was helpful and responsive; the house comfortable and roomy; the kitchen well-equipped. Becky was very thoughtful- she made sure we had everything we would need for a big cooking production, including leaving out extra flatware, aluminum roasting pans, and extra chairs and extensions for the dining table. (Unrelated: she has quite the green thumb- her houseplants are phenomenal.) The house is easy to get to, and feels more remote than it is. We enjoyed being able to see the stars for a change! With the holiday weekend, we didn't get out to do much sightseeing, but there's a lot to do and see in the area. The host provided tourist info with the rental contract and in the home for our arrival. The house is also well supplied with books and games for those who prefer to stay indoors around the fireplace. The allergic members of our group were well aware of the cats. Those with severe allergies should consider carefully. The bottom line: it was so nice to not have to host in one of our tiny city apartments. We'd stay again and recommend this property with pleasure. Thanks for a relaxing holiday!

Perfect place for a week-end getaway!

This house was perfect for an end-of summer week-end. It is mid-way between Boston and NY, very spacious and perfectly located, close to a beautiful lake, great hikes and wonderful nature. The hostess is wonderful: she leaves detailed instructions and tips so that you make the most of your trip. Highly recommended!

5-day Family Gathering

Two families and Grandmother were in area to attend a summer wedding. We found the house and grounds to offer everything we needed and more. Spacious rooms, complete kitchen as described, sleeping spaces to fit any age and need, homey comfort, plus good variety of music selections and good reading from well stocked bookshelves in most rooms. Children enjoyed the jungle gym, chasing fireflies, and all of us enjoyed S'mores around the fire pit. Indeed, we must visit another time to take advantage of all the activities available in the nearby area.
