Lovely and charming house in a great location, we were able to walk to the center of town. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds (at least the king sized ones that we used during our trip) were very comfortable.

Kitchen was fully equipped. It was a good sized home for 8 adults. Outdoor fire pit was nice. Bathrooms have been updated.

Hi there, thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad to hear the home worked well for your group, that the kitchen was fully equipped, and that you enjoyed the outdoor fire pit.
It’s also wonderful to know the updated bathrooms added to your stay. We’d be happy to host you and your group again anytime!
We loved the location. For the most part the house was very clean and had all the supplies we needed. There were ants in the kitchen, a beeping fire alarm ( with no replacement batteries), and a loose towel rack. We checked out a day early. I was surprised by there lackadaisical response “ Thank you for letting us know…we’ll address those for future guest”. I’d expect that from an individual renting a house but not a company. I don’t feel like they made any attempt to make amends for how those things impacted our stay, which was disappointing…

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, and we're so glad to hear you loved the location and found the home well-stocked overall. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the ants, the fire alarm, and the towel rack, as well as for how the response to those concerns came across — that's certainly not the level of care we strive to provide. Please know your comments have been shared with our team to ensure we do better, both in addressing maintenance issues promptly and in how we follow up with our guests. We'd genuinely appreciate the opportunity to make it right and welcome you back for a stay that better reflects our standards.
We had a great time in this beautiful home. We could all cook together in the well stocked kitchen and gather in the living room to play games. Each bedroom was comfortable and the bathrooms were updated. The location was central to the Berkshires.

The house felt like a home and met the needs of all nine of us with ease. The living room was a great place to relax and the kitchen table fit all of us. We did some cooking and found all that we needed in the kitchen to do so. There is a lot to do in the area from walking on conservation lands, to shopping to going to museums.

The host was AvantStay. They were ok, but the interface was confusing between vrbo and them. Two user ids, constantly resetting passwords, too much tech, not enough human. No idea who the owner is as we never were able to contact them.

The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. All you need to do is add food. I did have a few questions and the managers response was extremely quick. We walked to town for dining, shopping and a little further was a great hike. Lee is close to many other fun towns too, so easy access to so mush is possible.

We came for a concert at Tanglewood. Property was just as photos described, walking distance to downtown Lee restaurants, easy access to highway and other towns. Great spot for multiple family or friends to get together.

Great location, walkable to town. Older home that was comfortable for our group with everything you’d need in the kitchen. Appreciated the large outdoor table and front porch rockers. Cooling fans in all bedrooms worked well.

House was the central place for our daughter’s wedding. The Great room was perfect for her and her maid of honor to get ready as well as enough bedrooms for everyone to sleep. House could have been cleaner outside and yard better kept. Also would have loved lights outback so we could have hung out there or at the fire pit. Master bathroom shower had a leak, water running down to the entrance way by the stairs.

Lots of cozy relaxation by the fire and fun meals at the spacious dinning table. We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves.

The location was great and just a short walk to downtown. We thought the pictures on the site were a bit misleading. The house looked a little more open than it actually was, especially in the kitchen. The outside fire pit area was a little run down. A chair was broken and the string lights were down on the ground, water filled and no outlet to plug into. Plenty of bed space for everyone to sleep and beds were comfortable. Plenty of extra sheets and towels and the kitchen was well equipped. We had an issue with the lock box not opening when we got there but the host was very quick to respond and fixed the problem. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay, thank you! Everything was great as all accommodations were met and other than getting food from the local nearby grocery store and our own personal things, nothing more was needed. Everything went so smoothly, other than our two dogs being home sick and whining at times, which ended up entailing a 7 hour round trip back home to leave them there with a sitter as we felt it was too much for our little fur babies to endure being in a strange place without us and better to return them home. We were then able to enjoy adventuring to the nice little Main Street in Lee and exploring Springfield, Salem and Boston. It is always a joy making memories while vacationing with our adult children once a year and will definitely entertain the thought of returning as there was a lot left to see at the destinations we visited. Upon every return from our adventures and back at the house, we were able to relax and toast s’mores over a nice camp fire in the wonderful provided fire pit area and then gather in the cozy living room to watch a movie before turning in for the night in the cozy comfy beds. Checking in and checking out were both a breeze! Thank you again for a great stay and for assisting with yet another wonderful Case family vacation!

This house is a lovely space for friends to gather. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining tables both indoors and outside were large. The living room has a large sectional couch that fit us all comfortably. The place was very clean , with nice linens and excellent beds and pillows! There were a few problems. Some lights had no bulbs and/ or simply didn’t work. Half the lights over the dining room table didn’t work, and that was true in most of the bedrooms. We called Roberto who did get some lights to work and made sure the one at the top of the stairs could be pulled on. The dishwasher didn’t work at all and Roberto wasn’t able to fix this. Roberto did bring a new toaster as the one there didn’t work.Two full bathrooms had no shade or curtain to block viewing. I draped towels in front of the windows so we could wash in privacy. Roberto said installing shades was going to take some time so we did what we could.Roberto was responsive to the issues we encountered and helped as he was able. He was sympathetic and easy to communicate with. Roberto offered a gift certificate to one of the local restaurants before we departed.I think this was a good rental that I’d recommend and believe the problems we encountered will be fixed.

Disappointing
Our stay was disappointing in many ways. PROS: house was clean; ensuite Master Bedroom second floor had been renovated and was most bright and comfortable room in house; bedding and towels were fresh and clean; patio was pleasant; neighborhood quiet; many small conveniences appreciated (hooks, towel bars, well-equipped kitchen, etc.). CONS: viewing online photos, we six friends were expecting a bright and cheerful interior, but photos must be enhanced because most of rooms were much darker in person; we were expecting five usable bedrooms but BE AWARE 5th bedroom on third floor (attic, no bathroom) is up a flight of steep steps & was uncomfortably hot when we went in mid-May. (No A/C in the house, which we knew beforehand.) Unable to use that room, one of us slept on a 4" thick/3-fold ‘mattress’ placed on living room sofa. Internet very spotty. Called host and several pleasant people talked us through trouble-shooting but with minimal success over 2-night stay. Oven cooktop did not have light or it was broken. Dishwasher’s soap dispenser door did not open during operation, giving only hot rinse. Ice maker in fridge did not work. Garbage disposal did not work. SAFETY ISSUES: no railings on steep steps at front of house, nor at back entrance (door with code entry code box). To access the patio, one must navigate higher (12”+) than normal step, again with no railing. Although communications with VRBO and AVANTSTAY were prompt and cordial, we would not stay at Cordelia again.
