The property was something out of a painting and the details within the home were truly impeccable. We were able to really enjoy the surroundings there, everything was so peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were as pleasant and helpful as can be—it was fun getting to know them!

Fantastic home base for a getaway

The cottage was perfect for a summer getaway to the Berkshires and Columbia County, NY. The cottage itself is lovely, immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. We enjoyed exploring the grounds, taking in the views, stopping to admire the many varieties of flowers, and learning a bit about the Shakers. The location provided the sense of peace and solitude we needed, while also being fairly convenient to major roads and the area sites. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
